Composition Dependence of the Band Gap Energy of the Sb-Rich GaBixSb1?x Alloy (0?≤?x?≤?0.26) Described by the Modified Band Anticrossing Model
摘要： The impurity–host interaction and the impurity–impurity interaction exist in the Sb-rich GaBixSb1?x alloy. It is found that the effect of impurity–impurity on the band gap energy can be neglected. The impurity–host interaction not only depends on the Bi content, but also on the content of the host material. In order to describe the band gap energy of the Sb-rich GaBixSb1?x, the virtual crystal approximation for conduction band minimum (CBM) and the modified valence band anticrossing model for valence band maximum (VBM) are applied. It is also found that when the Bi content is about 0.259, the band gap energy of GaBixSb1?x becomes 0 eV. In addition, it is found that the U CBM depending on Bi content is much stronger than that of the U VBM. It is relative to two factors. One is that the conduction band offset between GaSb and GaBi is much larger than the valence band offset. The other is that the energy difference between the Bi level and the U VBM of GaSb is very large. The large energy difference usually leads to a weak coupling interaction between the Bi level and the U VBM of GaSb, thus resulting in weak composition dependence of the U VBM in the Sb-rich range.

Structural and spectroscopic studies on the concentration dependent erbium doped lithium bismuth boro tellurite glasses for optical fiber applications
摘要： High gain and better optical properties are the key requirement for the optical fibers and amplifiers to meet the current technological demand. In this regard, in the present investigation, erbium doped lithium bismuth boro tellurite glasses are prepared using melt-quenching technique. The prepared glasses were extensively characterized through, XRD, DSC, UV–Vis-NIR and also Luminescence and Decay techniques to study the concentration dependent structural, optical and luminescence properties. Prepared glasses are amorphous in nature and the corresponding band gap energy decreases with erbium concentration indicates increase of metallicity of the glasses. FTIR studies show different vibration modes majorly borate groups. In addition, Judd-Oflet theory is employed to derive different optical parameters such as intensity parameters, oscillatory strength, branching ratio, stimulated emission cross section and time decay to validate the experimental results of prepared glasses towards optical fiber applications. Estimated values of Stimulated emission, effective band width and gain band width values found higher when compared with other host glasses. Results also show that, 100% branching ratio is obtained for the highest intense peaks corresponds to the transition 4I13/2 → 4I15/2 in NIR luminescence spectra for 1.53 μm broad band. For power dependent 980 nm excitation, up-conversion spectra shows two transitions, namely 4S3/2 → 4I15/2 and 4F9/2 → 4I15/2 at 541 and 655 nm corresponds to green and red emission respectively. From the McCumber’s theory, the absorption and emission cross section more comaprable values are obtained for 1 mol% erbium doped glass. About 40% population inversion is obtained with C band from 1500 to 1550 nm. The results suggests that, the prepated glasses are the potential candidates for optical fiber applications.

Effect of Potassium Nitrate in ZnO Nanoparticle Synthesis to Study the Performance of Dye Sensitized Solar Cell
摘要： X-ray diffraction, Raman investigations, band gap energy of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) along with current-voltage characteristic curves of an assembled dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) are presented in this article. ZnO NPs were first synthesized with and without potassium nitrate (KNO3) salt by precipitation method from precursor solutions of zinc acetate and sodium hydroxide. Then, their thin films were deposited on FTO substrates from the paste made with acetic-acid glacial, and Triton X-100 in ethanol by doctor blade method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of ZnO NPs prepared without KNO3 annealed at 500 °C showed a hexagonal wurtzite structure with preferred orientation along (101) planes and crystallite size of 25 nm. Very similar XRD pattern was found for ZnO NPs prepared with KNO3. The crystallite size was found decreased to 17 nm for ZnO NPs made with KNO3 salt. Raman spectrum of ZnO NPs showed the presence of E2 high or E2(2) peak at 437 cm-1. The optical band gaps of the ZnO thin films prepared from ZnO NPs with and without KNO3 were measured to be of 3.16 eV and 3.26 eV, respectively. After sensitizing the above-prepared ZnO films by dye extract of Artocarpus lakoocha, the dye-sensitized solar cells were prepared, and their performance was tested by measuring I-V curves under light illumination of the power density of 1000 W/m2. The measurement showed highest Isc and Voc of 44 μA and 326 mV, respectively.

Europium-doped boro-telluro-dolomite glasses for red laser applications: Basic insight into spectroscopic traits
摘要： Naturally abundant minerals and lanthanide-doped synthetic boro-tellurite networks have become prospective efficient laser hosts because of the synergy between them. Driven by this idea, Eu3+-doped boro-telluro-dolomite (BTD) glasses were prepared via the melt-quenching method. The spectroscopic traits of as-quenched samples were analyzed though experimental and theoretical studies. The result from the derivation of absorption spectral fitting (DASF) model demonstrated the direct allowed transition in the glasses. Moreover, the photo-luminescence spectra of the sample containing 1.0 mol% of Eu3+ (BTD1.0Eu glass) revealed a prominent red peak at 611 nm (assigned to 5D0 → 7F2 transition in Eu3+ ion) with a large stimulated emission cross section (7.15 × 10?22 cm2) and a high luminescence branching ratio (61.5%). Furthermore, the attained CIE color coordinates (0.637, 0.363), which lie near the standard red hue (0.67, 0.33), together with high quantum efficiency (92.7%) affirmed the effectiveness of BTD1.0Eu glass as a potential red laser host.

Effect of Annealing on Optical Properties of Zinc Oxide Thin Films Prepared by Homemade Spin Coater
摘要： Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were deposited on the ordinary glass substrates by spin coating method. The precursor solution was prepared by mixing zinc acetate dihydrate in appropriate proportions with ethanol and diethanolamine (DEA). The obtained thin films were dried at 200oC for 15 minutes in hot air oven. Crystalline ZnO thin films were achieved following annealing process at temperatures 300o, 400o and 500oC for 2 hours. Thin films as- prepared were studied by X-ray diffraction and UV-visible spectroscopy. The films were transparent from near ultraviolet to infrared region. Optical band gap energy of ZnO was obtained 3.22 eV at 300oC. On annealing at 400o and 500oC, band gap energy was shifted at 3.14 eV and 3.05 eV respectively.

Tailoring the Structural and Optical Parameters of Eu3+:CeO2-SiO2 Nanopowder Via Thermal Treatment
摘要： Nanocrystalline Eu3+:CeO2-SiO2 powder samples were prepared by sol-gel technique. This technique is suitable for large-scale production and it is also a cost effective process. The prepared samples were annealed at different temperatures which were characterized by many complementary techniques. The formation of cubic fluorite structure of CeO2 nanocrystal with a uniform distribution was confirmed by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The average nanocrystalline size has been calculated as 3, 7 and 15 nm using Debye-Scherrer formula for different annealed samples. The calculated nanocrystalline sizes were compared with W-H plot and TEM histograms. It was investigated that FWHM of diffraction peaks decreases with increase in temperature results in increase nanocrystalline size. The FTIR spectroscopy provides the valuable information and identification of different chemical group/bonds present in the prepared samples. It is found that if we fixed the dopant concentration, then particle size, morphology and band gap energy of prepared nanopowder can be tailored by applying the annealing conditions. Comparative studies of absorption spectra and corresponding band gap energies have been done and a red shift has been observed in absorption spectra with thermal treatment. The shift of the optical absorption edge of prepared nanopowder towards lower energies increases its utilization in the visible region specially photocatalytic activity.

Fabrication of Gd-La codoped TiO2 composite via a liquid phase plasma method and its application as visible-light photocatalysts
摘要： TiO2 was doped simultaneously with Gd and La using a liquid phase plasma (LPP) reaction to produce a photocatalyst with excellent photoactivity in the visible light region. Gadolinium chloride hexahydrate and lanthanum chloride heptahydrate precursors were used to dope the TiO2 powder with polycrystalline Gd2O3 and La2O3 particles. The doping of TiO2 with rare earth elements using LPP reaction decreased the band gap; the band gap of Gd-La codoped TiO2 photocatalysts (GLTP) was the lowest. The photodegradation efficiency of the TiO2 photocatalysts doped with either Gd or La was superior that of bare TiO2 but the photodegradation efficiency of GLTP was highest in both ultraviolet and visible light sources. Acetaminophen (Acetyl-para-aminophen, APAP) was ultimately decomposed to CO2 and H2O via intermediates, such as p-nitrophenol, hydroquinone and hydroxylhydroquinone, by hydroxyl radicals (HO?) formed on the surface of GLTP.

ion bombardment effect on the band gap of anatase TiO2 ultrathin films
摘要： We report a study of the effect of nitrogen ion bombardment on the optical properties of anatase TiO2 ultrathin films, particularly the band gap energy. The TiO2 films were prepared by a sol-gel method and dip-coating process. The as-prepared TiO2 films were then exposed to a +N2 low-energy ion beam from a microwave electron cyclotron resonance (ESR) ion source. Raman and spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) analysis were performed on TiO2 films prepared at different +N2 exposure times. The Raman measurements reveal the conservation of the anatase TiO2 crystalline structure after the ion beam exposure. From a detailed ellipsometric study, the thickness of layers, the dielectric function, the band gap and the Urbach energies were determined. The obtained results show an increase of the TiO2 band gap with the decrease of thickness of films during +N2 exposure time. The band gap energy was blue shifted from 20 meV to 140 meV as the exposure time was increased from 5 min to 20 min when the thickness was decreased from 30 nm to 21 nm. This increasing of band gap energy could be explained by the thickness effect. From the band tail, the Urbach energy was also affected by +N2 ion beam. These results are in good agreement with the observed broadending of the Raman band the OeTieO bending vibration mode, as the exposure time increases.

Reference Module in Materials Science and Materials Engineering || Nano-Structured Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors
摘要： Diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) materials have attracted much interest in recent years because of the combination of both semiconducting and magnetic properties within the same material. Among the potential applications that DMS materials can offer is spintronics which exploits both the electron charge associated with the intrinsic spin of the electron. DMS are semiconductors doped with magnetic impurities. Physical properties, like band gap energy or magnetism, are now not only a function of the particle size but also of the doping level. Therefore, ordered arrays of nanometer sized magnetic semiconductors are promising components for new devices in magneto- or spin electronics.
