Optical transistor is a device used to amplify and switch optical signals. Many researchers focus on replacing current computer components with optical equivalents, resulting in an optical digital computer system processing binary data. Electronic transistor is the fundamental building block of modern electronic devices. To replace electronic components with optical ones, an equivalent optical ...

optical modeling was applied for obtaining absorbance spectra and band gap values for different morphology of zno semiconductor. in optical modeling, the relative permittivity scalars of zinc oxide coral like nanorods were calculated using the bruggeman homogenization formalism. zno nano rods (zonrs) as a nucleus layer were fabricated on the indium tin oxide (ito) by chronoamperometry (ca) in a...

Single- and few-layer crystals of exfoliated MoTe2 have been characterized spectroscopically by photoluminescence, Raman scattering, and optical absorption measurements. We find that MoTe2 in the monolayer limit displays strong photoluminescence. On the basis of complementary optical absorption results, we conclude that monolayer MoTe2 is a direct-gap semiconductor with an optical band gap of 1...

Nanocrystalline PbTe films are deposited on different substrates at room temperature through thermal evaporation. The films are stoichiometric single-phase polycrystalline with 200 texture. Electrical properties of the films are analyzed in the framework of a grain boundary channel conduction model. The index of refraction and extinction coefficient of PbTe films are extracted from infrared spe...

This work describes the optical and structure properties of nickel sulfide and cobalt sulfide nanoparticles in ZSM-5 zeolite. The samples were obtained by sulfidation of the Ni2+ and Co2+ ion-exchange ZSM-5 zeolites in a Na2S solution at room temperature. The optical properties of the samples were studied by UV-visible spectroscopy. Their crystalline structure and morphology were studied by X-r...

Tunable photonic crystals PCs have attracted much attention in the past decade because of their various applications, such as ultrafast optical filters and optical waveguides with add–drop functionalities. One way of achieving tunability is to make use of ferroelectric materials since the refractive index of ferroelectric materials can be electrically tuned through the electro-optic effect. In ...

In this paper, we report structural and optical properties of Mn doped ZnS nanoparticles, having average size 2.44–1.60 nm have been synthesized by co-precipitation method using Thioglycolic Acid as external capping agent. Zinc blende crystal structure ZnS:Mn nanoparticles has been confirmed by the X-ray diffraction studies. Absorption spectra have been obtained using UV-Vis spectrophotometer t...

Zinc nitride (Zn3N2) nanowires (NWs) with diameters of 50 to 100 nm and a cubic crystal structure have been grown on 1 nm Au/Al2O3 via the reaction of Zn with NH3 including H2 between 500°C and 600°C. These exhibited an optical band gap of ≈ 3.2 eV, estimated from steady state absorption-transmission spectroscopy. We compared this with the case of ZnO NWs and discussed the surface oxidation of ...

InN films with free electron concentrations ranging from mid-10 to mid-10 cm have been studied using optical absorption, Hall effect, and secondary ion mass spectrometry. The optical absorption edge covers a wide energy range from the intrinsic band gap of InN of about 0.7 to about 1.7 eV which is close to the previously accepted band gap of InN. The electron concentration dependence of the opt...

nanocrystalline titanium (iv) oxide paste has been deposited on fluorine doped tin oxide glass substrate by the blade method. the deposited film was subjected to thermal treatment to obtain an electrode foe a photo-electrochemical cell. the electrode was sensitized with prophyrin dye which was a local dye extracted from carica papaya leaves. avaspec 2.1 spectrophotometer was used to obtain the ...
