The discovery of Graphene and its unique properties has attracted great interest. Unfortunately, the synthesis of graphene in large scale is challenging, for this reason the derivative of graphene such as graphene oxide (GO) and reduce graphene oxide (rGO) have become alternative sources. The reduction of graphene oxide is an alternative route to obtain graphene-like behavior. This study is aim at examining the similarities and difference between thermal reduction technique and pulse laser method of reduction of (GO). The method utilizes a pulse laser beam for reduction of GO layers on glass substrates and thermal reduction technique. Using the pulse laser method, conductivity of reduced GO was found to be 2.325E-2(1/ohm) which is six times higher than conductivity values reported for GO layers reduced by thermal means at 400oC which was 3.740E-3(1/ohm). A higher transmittance was observed for the pulse laser annealed which holds promising application in a lot technological research. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) result reveals the evenly distribution of the GO around the substrate. The non-thermal nature of the pulse laser method combined with its simplicity and scalability, makes it very attractive for the future manufacturing of large-volume graphene-based optoelectronics

Theoretical calculations of mass attenuation coefficients, partial interactions, atomic cross-section, and effective atomic numbers of PbO-based silicate, borate, and phosphate glass systems have been investigated at 662 keV. PbO-based silicate glass has been found with the highest total mass attenuation coefficient and then phosphate and borate glasses, respectively. Compton scattering has been the dominate interaction contributed to the different total attenuation coefficients in each of the glass matrices. The silicate and phosphate glass systems are more appropriate choices as lead-based radiation shielding glass than the borate glass system. Moreover, comparison of results has shown that the glasses possess better shielding properties than standard shielding concretes, suggesting a smaller size requirement in addition to transparency in the visible region.

ABSTRACTOrganic electroluminescent (EL) diodes based on fluorescent dyes and conducting polymers have attracted the interest of researchers, mainly because of their emission in the visible region and for application to large area portable flat panel display devices, driven at low voltages. Therefore, for the development of higher efficiency polymer EL diodes, the optimal combination of the merits of organic fluorescent dye molecules with that of conjugated polymer is an important approach. We report electroluminescence studies of polymer light emitting diodes (p-LEDs) fabricated with poly[2-(3-thienyl)ethanol n-butoxy carbonylmethyl urethane] (PURET) and its composite with 4-dicyanomethylene-2-methyl-6-(p-dimethylaminostyryl)-4H pyran (DCM) dye. These materials have been chosen in view of the fact that PURET exhibits a small overlap between emission and absorption spectra whereas DCM has a good efficiency of trapping both electrons as well as holes. Polyaniline has been utilized as hole injecting layer whereas tris-8-hydroxyquinoline-aluminum as electron injecting layer. Enhanced electroluminescence with bright yellow color has been observed in p-LEDs by the addition of dye.
