Achieving outstanding physical and optical properties of borosulfophosphate glasses via controlled doping of rare earth ions is the key issue in the fabrication of new and highly-efficient glass material for diverse optical applications. Thus, the effect of replacing P2O5 by Dy2O3 on the physical and optical properties of Dy[Formula: see text]-doped lithium-borosulfophosphate glasses with chemical composition of 15Li2O–30B2O3–15SO3–[Formula: see text]P2O5–[Formula: see text]Dy2O3 (where 0.0 mol.% [Formula: see text] mol.%) has been investigated. The glass samples were synthesized from high-purity raw materials via convectional melt-quenching technique and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX), density and UV–vis–NIR absorption measurements. The amorphous nature of the prepared glass samples was confirmed by XRD patterns whereas the EDX spectrum depicts elemental traces of O, C, B, S, P and Dy. The physical parameters such as density, refractive index, molar volume, polaron radius and field strength were found to vary nonlinearly with increasing Dy2O3 concentration. UV–vis–NIR absorption spectra revealed seven absorption bands with most dominant peak at 1269 nm (6H[Formula: see text]F[Formula: see text]H[Formula: see text]). From the optical absorption spectra, the optical bandgap and Urbach’s energy have been determined and are related with the structural changes occurring in these glasses with increase in Dy2O3 content. Meanwhile, the bonding parameters ([Formula: see text]) evaluated from the optical absorption spectra were found to be ionic in nature. The superior features exhibited by the current glasses nominate them as potential candidate for nonlinear optical applications.

Abstract The preparation, crystal structures and optical absorption spectra of [H3N(CH2)6NH3]BiX5 (X= I, Cl) and [H3N(CH2)6NH3]SbX5 (X =I, Br) are reported. The anions of the compounds consist of MX6-octahedra (M =Bi, Sb) sharing cisvertices in one-dimensional zig-zag chains. Because of their one-dimensional character, a blue shift of the excitonic absorption bands, in com parison to those of higher dim ensionality systems (MX3), is observed.

AbstractFerromagnetism (FM) in GaMnN was found to be related to the position of the Fermi level relative to the Mn deep-level band. The location of the Fermi level can be altered by doping GaMnN with Si (n-type) and Mg (p-type) dopants, resulting in a ferromagnetic to paramagnetic transformation. We have found that this manipulation of the Fermi level also can affect the optical properties of GaMnN, GaMnN: Mg and GaMnN: Si. The major optical absorption bands were found either to be enhanced or diminished depending on the level and nature of the doping elements. Therefore, a correlation between optical properties and saturation magnetization of GaMnN can be established.

ABSTRACTWe present the results of our investigation of the change in the optical properties of silica, "suprasil", after keV through MeV implantation of copper, tin, silver and gold and after annealing. Suprasil, name brand of silica glass produced by Hereaus Amersil, which is chemically highly pure with well known optical properties. Both linear and nonlinear optical properties of the implanted silica were investigated before and after thermal annealing. All implants showed strong optical absorption bands in agreement with Mie theory. For implants with a measurable optical absorption band we used Doyle's theory and the full width half maximum of the absorption band to calculate the predicted size of the formed nanoclusters at various heat treatment temperatures. These results are compared with those obtained from direct observation using transmission electron microscopic techniques.

In this research we study optical absorption and morphology of silver films prepared with a sputtering method. Silver granular films are obtained on a glass substrate for films with thickness smaller than about 60 Å. Superficial silver clusters of around 100 nm in diameter are clearly seen in the atomic force micrographs. The absorption of these samples are characterized by plasmon excitation in the 450-650 nm spectral range, which differs from the known excitation of silver nanoparticles fabricated by different techniques. The optical absorption of silver granular films depend on sputtering conditions like substrate temperature or deposition rate and correlates with the surface morphology.

AbstractHematite (Fe2O3) is one of the best candidates for photoelectrochemical water splitting due to its abundance and suitable bandgap. However, its efficiency is mostly impeded due to the intrinsically low conductivity and poor light absorption. In this study, we targeted this intrinsic behavior to investigate the thermodynamic stability, photoconductivity and optical properties of rhodium doped hematite using density functional theory. The calculated formation energy of pristine and rhodium doped hematite was − 4.47 eV and − 5.34 eV respectively, suggesting that the doped material is thermodynamically more stable. The DFT results established that the bandgap of doped hematite narrowed down to the lower edge (1.61 eV) in the visible region which enhanced the optical absorption and photoconductivity of the material. Moreover, doped hematite has the ability to absorb a broad spectrum (250–800) nm. The enhanced optical absorption boosted the photocurrent and incident photon to current efficiency. The calculated results also showed that the incorporation of rhodium in hematite induced a redshift in optical properties.

Calculation Results

The electronic structures and optical properties of pure, Ag-doped and S-doped α-Fe2O3 were studied using density functional theory (DFT). The calculation results show that the structure of α-Fe2O3 crystal changes after Ag and S doping, which leads to the different points of the high symmetry of Ag-doped and S-doped α-Fe2O3 with that of pure α-Fe2O3 in the energy band, as well as different Brillouin paths. In addition, the band gap of α-Fe2O3 becomes smaller after Ag and S doping, and the optical absorption peak shifts slightly toward the short wavelength, with the increased peak strength of S/α-Fe2O3 and the decreased peak strength of Ag/α-Fe2O3. However, the optical absorption in the visible range is enhanced after Ag and S doping compared with that of pure α-Fe2O3 when the wavelength is greater than 380 nm, and the optical absorption of S-doped α-Fe2O3 is stronger than that of Ag-doped α-Fe2O3.

Spatial-frequency domain imaging (SFDI) is a wide-field, noncontact, and label-free imaging modality that is currently being explored as a new means for estimating optical absorption and scattering properties of two-layered turbid materials. The accuracy of SFDI for optical property estimation, however, depends on light transfer model and inverse algorithm. This study was therefore aimed at providing theoretical analyses of the diffusion model and inverse algorithm through numerical simulation, so as to evaluate the potential for estimating optical absorption and reduced scattering coefficients of two-layered horticultural products. The effect of varying optical properties on reflectance prediction was first simulated, which indicated that there is good separation in diffuse reflectance over a large range of spatial frequencies for different reduced scattering values in the top layer, whereas there is less separation in diffuse reflectance for different values of absorption in the top layer, and even less separation for optical properties in the bottom layer. To implement the nonlinear least-square method for extracting the optical properties of two-layered samples from Monte Carlo-generated reflectance, five curve fitting strategies with different constrained parameters were conducted and compared. The results confirmed that estimation accuracy improved as fewer variables were to be estimated each time. A stepwise method was thus suggested for estimating optical properties of two-layered samples. Four factors influencing optical property estimation of the top layer, which is the basis for accurately implementing the stepwise method, were investigated by generating absolute error contour maps. Finally, the relationship between light penetration depth and spatial frequency was studied. The results showed that penetration depth decreased with the increased spatial frequency and also optical properties, suggesting that appropriate selection of spatial frequencies for a stepwise method to estimate optical properties from two-layered samples provides potential for estimation accuracy improvement. This work lays a foundation for improving optical property estimation of two-layered horticultural products using SFDI.
