MnBi0.95Sb0.05 alloys were prepared by the conventional melt technique and then deposited as a thin film by thermal evaporation technique with different thicknesses. The optical absorption, reflection, and transmission spectra of thin films were measured in the wavelength range of 250 nm to 2500 nm. In our work, MnBi0.95Sb0.05 thin films have a hexagonal structure (P63/mmc group). The optical properties are characterized by high absorption and reflection, as well as very low transmission. Besides that, the absorbance of MnBi0.95Sb0.05 films decreased with increasing thickness. The calculated energy gap of MnBi0.95Sb0.05 thin films depended on the film thickness. It decreases from 1.36V to 1.03V by increasing the thickness from 25nm to 75nm. Different optical parameters like n, k, and ϭopt are examined and discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
