Indium sulfide (In2S3) is a promising semiconductor material for window layers in solar cell devices and other optoelectronic applications as it presents a direct band gap around 2.0 eV at room temperature, and large photosensitivity and photoconductivity. The presence of several polymorphic structures depending on the processing parameters is also of interest to tailor the required material properties for different applications. It is currently being investigated for high efficiency solar cell based on CuInS2-In2S3 heterostructures, replacing CdS layers. Few studies have been reported on nanostructured In2S3 grown by several methods.

This study addresses the first-principles analysis using generalized gradient approximation (GGA), which is pillared on density functional theory (DFT), to find the effects of silver (Ag) doping on SrTiO3 structurally, electronically and optical properties. As Ag doping into SrTiO3, we see a small decrease in the volume of unit cell. Moreover, Ag-doping adds new states in SrTiO3 at Brillouin zone symmetry points, transferring host material’s indirect band gap to a direct band gap. Ag doping in SrTiO3 results in the transfer density of states to smaller energies and increase in interaction among Ag atom and its surrounding atoms. Moreover, at the conduction band, the partial density of states (PDOS) of SrTiO3 changes generally. As a result, we conclude that Ag doping has an effect on the electronic band structure of SrTiO3. SrTiO3 doping with Ag has improved optical properties and its ability of converting to direct band gap results it in a perfect choice for optoelectronic applications.

The optical absorption spectra of blended poly (N-carbazole) (PVK) with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) in various compositions are investigated. A doctor blade technique was used to coat the blended polymer on a quartz substrate. The electronic parameters such as absorption edge (Ee), allowed direct band gap (Ed), allowed indirect band gap (Ei), Urbach edge (Eu) and steepness parameter (γ) were calculated using Tauc/Davis-Mott Model. The results reveal that the Ee, Ed and Ei increase with increasing of PVP ratio. There also have variation changing in Urbach energy and steepness parameter.
