ABSTRACTOptical absorption and photoluminescence techniques were used to investigate the band gap of colloidal CdSe/ZnS core/shell nanocrystals matrixed in a UV curable resin. The band gap was measured for several nanocrystals with size ranging between 1.9 and 4.0 nm. The band gap (Eg) was determined from the first exciton peaks observed in the optical absorption spectra. Both Debye and Einstein temperatures were estimated from fitting the energy band gap vs. temperature using two different empirical expressions.

Structural And Optical Properties

We have reported the effect of Co and Ni doping on structural and optical properties of ZnO thin films prepared by RF reactive sputtering technique. The composite targets were formed by mixing and pressing of ZnO, Mn3O4, CoO and NiO powders. The thin films were deposited on sapphire, quartz and glass substrates. The structure study confirms the formation of the hexagonal wurtzite ZnO without any secondary phase in transition metal (Co, Ni) - doped samples. Cross-sectional TEM images of all studied samples show a denseand uniformly textured structure composed of column-like structure along the growth direction. The surface morphology of the thin films was studied using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Different surface morphology (AFM) images were obtained depending on the film composition and growth conditions. Optical absorption spectra suggest of substitution Zn2+ ions in ZnO lattice by transition metal atoms. The shift of the absorption edge due to decrease the energy band gap with increasing cobalt content and complex dependence of the energy band gap on content of nickel was observed in optical absorption spectra of the studied films. The room temperature photoluminescence peaks are attributed to near band gap emission and vacancy or defect states.

The CdS nanoparticles of different sizes are synthesized by a simple chemical method. Here, CdS nanoparticles are grown through the reaction of solution of different concentration of CdCl2 with H2S. X-ray diffraction pattern confirms nano nature of CdS and has been used to determine the size of particle. Optical absorption spectroscopy is used to measure the energy band gap of these nanomaterials by using Tauc relation. Energy band gap ranging between 3.12 eV to 2.47 eV have been obtained for the samples containing the nanoparticles in the range of 2.3 to 6.0 nm size. A correlation between the band gap and size of the nanoparticles is also established.

Free Carriers

ABSTRACTOptical absorption spectra of undoped, n-type, and semi-insulating 6H and 4H bulk silicon carbide (SiC) were obtained in the spectral region of 200 – 3200 nm (6.20 – 0.3875 eV). Several features were observed in the absorption spectra collected for various samples. A sharp peak below the band gap was observed in 4H SiC. The intensity of this peak was observed to increase in samples that exhibit larger absorption due to free carriers, which leads us to conclude that the defect responsible for this peak is also the source of the free carriers in the materials. Additionally, a series of optical absorption peaks separated by approximately 21 meV were observed around 0.9185 eV (1350 nm). These peaks are zero phonon lines of intraband transitions in the VSi 3d shell. The optical absorption near the band edge was observed to be sample dependent. The variation of the band gap as a function of temperature is also observed to be sample dependent.

Glasses with composition xBi2O3:(100-x)B2O3 with 30x70 (in mol%) have been prepared using the normal melt-quench technique and investigated their properties. The optical absorption spectra of the glasses have been measured in the wavelength range 400-700 nm. It has been found that, the fundamental absorption edge has been identified from the optical absorption spectra. The values of optical band gap were decreased and the molar volumes were increased, with the addition of Bi2O3, due to the formulation of non-bridging oxygen (NBOs).

Energy Band Gap

Over the past ten years, tissue engineering has witnessed significant technological and scientific advancements. Progress in both stem cell science and additive manufacturing have established new horizons in research and are poised to bring improvements in healthcare closer to reality. However, more sophisticated indications such as the scale-up fabrication of biological structures (e.g., human tissues and organs) still require standardization. To that end, biocompatible electronics may be helpful in the biofabrication process. Here, we report the results of our systematic exploration to seek biocompatible/degradable functional electronic materials that could be used for electronic device fabrications. We investigated the electronic properties of various biomaterials in terms of energy diagrams, and the energy band gaps of such materials were obtained using optical absorption spectroscopy. The main component of an electronic device is manufactured with semiconductor materials (i.e., Eg between 1 to 2.5 eV). Most biomaterials showed an optical absorption edge greater than 2.5 eV. For example, fibrinogen, glycerol, and gelatin showed values of 3.54, 3.02, and 3.0 eV, respectively. Meanwhile, a few materials used in the tissue engineering field were found to be semiconductors, such as the phenol red in cell culture media (1.96 eV energy band gap). The data from this research may be used to fabricate biocompatible/degradable electronic devices for medical applications.
