Ferrite nanoparticles with nominal composition Me0.5Fe2.5O4 (Me = Co, Fe, Ni or Mn) have been successfully prepared by the wet chemical method. The obtained particles have a mean diameter of 11–16 ± 2 nm and were modified to improve their magnetic properties and chemical activity. The surface of the pristine nanoparticles was functionalized afterwards with –COOH and –NH2 groups to obtain a bioactive layer. To achieve our goal, two different modification approaches were realized. In the first one, glutaraldehyde was attached to the nanoparticles as a linker. In the second one, direct bonding of such nanoparticles with a bioparticle was studied. In subsequent steps, the nanoparticles were immobilized with enzymes such as albumin, glucose oxidase, lipase and trypsin as a test bioparticles. The characterization of the nanoparticles was acheived by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The effect of the obtained biocomposites was monitored by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The obtained results show that in some cases the use of glutaraldehyde was crucial (albumin).

Deposited Films

Cadmium selenide (CdSe) thin films have been deposited on glass/conducting glass substrates using low-cost electrodeposition method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique has been used to identify the phases present in the deposited films and observed that the deposited films are mainly consisting of CdSe phases. The photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell measurements indicate that the CdSe films are n-type in electrical conduction, and optical absorption measurements show that the bandgap for as-deposited film is estimated to be 2.1 eV. Upon heat treatment at 723 K for 30 min in air the band gap of CdSe film is decreased to 1.8 eV. The surface morphology of the deposited films has been characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and observed that very homogeneous and uniform CdSe film is grown onto FTO/glass substrate. The aim of this work is to use n-type CdSe window materials in CdTe based solar cell structures. The results will be presented in this paper in the light of observed data.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/dujs.v60i1.10352  Dhaka Univ. J. Sci. 60(1): 137-140 2012 (January)

In this paper, ZnO nanorods were grown by wet chemical method on p-Si (100) substrate to form n-ZnO nanorods/p-Si (100) heterojunction. The optical, electrical, structural properties of n-ZnO nanorods/p-Si(100) heterojunction were analyzed by the photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] measurement, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. The room temperature PL spectra reveal the good optical property of the heterojunction with strong UV peak at 385[Formula: see text]nm. The ZnO nanorods were vertically well-aligned on p-Si (100) and had an average height of about 1.6[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m. The n-ZnO nanorods/p-Si (100) heterojunction also exhibits diode-like-rectifying-behavior.

This work deals with Al-Cu thin films, deposited onto glass substrates by RF (13.56MHz) magnetron sputtering, and annealed at 773K. The film thickness was approximately the same 3-4µm. They are characterized with respect to microstructure, grain size, microstrain, dislocation density and resistivity versus copper content. Al (Cu) deposits containing 1.8, 7.21, 86.17 and 92.5at%Cu have been investigated. The use of X-ray diffraction analysis and transmission electron microscopy lead to the characterization of different structural features of films deposited at room temperature (< 400K) and after annealing (773K). The resistivity of the films was measured using the four-point probe method. The microstrain profile obtained from XRD thanks to the Williamson-Hall method shows an increase with increasing copper content.

ABSTRACTIn the present work we report the synthesis of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) films by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and the effect of sulfur annealing on structure, composition, morphological and optical characterization of CZTS thin films. Raman spectra of the films exhibited the characteristics peaks of Kesterite structure. However, annealing caused to transfer the films from amorphous state into crystalline state. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images revealed that as-deposited film exhibited a crack free, smooth, densely packed and homogeneous surface which was changed to rigid granular appearance after annealing. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) determined the compositions of the CZTS thin films which was near stoichiometry for the annealed samples. Ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectra showed the band gap of as-deposited film was 1.60 eV which was decreased to 1.40 eV after annealing.

Wet Chemical Route

A series of tourmaline/ZnO composite thin films were prepared by the facile route of low-temperature wet chemical method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman Spectroscopy analyses showed the hybrid spectroscopic characters of tourmaline and ZnO. With adding the different amount of tourmaline powder, ZnO tended to exhibit the different peak intensity of X-ray diffraction and Raman vibration. ZnO deposited into bending nanosheets and intersected to upstanding nanostucture on the surface of tourmaline particles in SEM images. The optical adsorption properities obtained by the UV-Vis spectra indicated that the addition of tourmaline had enhanced the maximum absorption strength, and had shifted the absorption wavelength and the absorption range of ZnO crystals.

AbstractThin films of SrTiO3 (STO) and SrxBa1−xTiO3 (SBT) with x = 0.35, 0.5, 0.9, and prepared by excimer laser deposition on LaAlO3 and MgO were studied. SEM analysis indicates that the surfaces of these films are smooth with isolated pores, except the SBT(x=0.5)/LaAlO3 sample, where a high concentration of large pores was found. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results show well oriented films. External FT-IR reflection studies reveals a band around 500 cm−x, which shows a significant frequency shift with increasing component concentration. Also, this IR-reflectivity band presents no changes between the SBT(x=0.9)/LaALO3 sample annealed at 750°C and the same film annealed at 850°C. On other hand, the STO/LaAlO3 and STO/MgO films show differences in frequency position of this reflectivity band. Raman spectra of the SBT sample with x ≥ 0.35 show broad bands associated with the BaTiO3 (BTO) material. However, all the phonons bands are broader than those in BTO, in particular the band around 309 cm−. Raman results suggest that the spectrum is a consequence of a breakdown in the translational symmetry due to defects. Raman scattering also indicates a similarity between SBT(x=0.9) at 750°C and that at 850°C. Micro-Raman and EDX analysis show that STO/MgO and SBT(x=0.35)/LaAlO3 films are close to the expected stoichiometry, while STO/LaAlO3 and SBT(x=0.9) films present deficiencies of titanium and oxygen.

The manganese sulfide, MnS, is a wide bandgap (Eg = 3.1eV) diluted magnetic semiconductor belonging to the VIIB-VIA family with outstanding magneto-optical properties. The authors report the synthesis and characterization of MnS nanoparticles. The MnS nanoparticles were synthesized by simple wet chemical method at ambient temperature. Manganese acetate (C4H6MnO4.4H2O) was used as source for Mn+2 ions and thioacetamide (C2H5NS) was used as source for S-2 ions. The energy dispersive analysis of X-ray (EDAX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used for stoichiometric and structural characterization of the synthesized nanoparticles respectively. The crystallite size calculated from XRD using Scherrer’s formula and Hall-Williamson relation came out to be of 6.81 nm and 5.27 nm respectively. The optical absorption spectra showed absorption edge at 325 nm corresponding to energy of 3.82 eV, which acknowledged the occurrence of blue shift. The photoluminescence spectra recorded for five different excitation wavelengths viz 250, 275, 280, 300 and 325 nm showed three emission peaks at 463 nm, 550 nm and 821 nm. The TEM and SEM analysis of the particles clearly shows the particles are spherical in shape. The selected area electron diffraction (SAED) pattern showed ring pattern, stating the nanoparticles to be polycrystalline. The obtained results are discussed in details.

In this research, TiO2 nanoparticle thin films were successfully prepared on FTO glass substrates through a doctor blade technique, and its application was tested in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) with different sensitizing dyes such as methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO). The physicochemical properties of intended thin films were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-vis DRS) techniques. The experimental results revealed that dipped TiO2 nanoparticle thin films into MB dye solution showed a higher photovoltaic efficiency (1.45%) when compared with the MO dye solution. A reasonable mechanism of DSSCs was also proposed.

InxSe1-x(x = 0.4, 0.5, 0.6) thin films are deposited at room temperature on glass substrates with thickness ~500nm by thermal evaporation technique. The X-Ray diffraction analysis showed that both the as-deposited films In2Se3and InSe (x= 0.4 and 0.5) are amorphous in nature while the as-deposited film In3Se2is polycrystalline and the values of energy gap are Eg=1.44eV for In2Se3, Eg=1.16eV for InSe and Eg=0.78eV for In3Se2. The same technique used with insert Argon gas at pressure 0.1 mbar where InxSe1-x(x = 0.4, 0.5, 0.6) thin films are deposited at room temperature on glass substrates with thickness ~100nm. The X-Ray diffraction analysis showed that the as-deposited films In2Se3are amorphous in nature while the as-deposited film InSe and In3Se2are Nanocrystalline with grain size 33nm and 55nm respectively and the values of energy gap are Eg=1.55eV for InSe and Eg=1.28eV for In3Se2. The energy gap of InSe thin films increase with Argon gas assist and phases changes from amorphous and polycrystalline to nanostructure material by thermal vacuum deposition technique.
