FeCl 3 was used as a source of Fe that added to the PVA films. PVA-Fe films were prepared by casting method. The UV-Visible spectrophotometer used to record the absorbance spectrum in the range of 300-900 nm. The absorbance decreased with the increasing of Fe in the PVA films. The absorption coefficient increased with the increasing of Fe content, while the extinction coefficient, refractive index and optical conductivity are decreased. The optical conductivity decreased from 4 eV for PVA film to 3.3 eV for PVA-3% Fe films.
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.
