Optical analysis of lens-like Cu2CdSnS4 quaternary alloy nanostructures

Morphological and optical investigations of the NiZnFe2O3quaternary alloy nanostructures for potential application in optoelectronics

“…The second step is to dissolve 1 g of dried Gujarat in 100 ml of distilled water for 30 min., followed by dissolving iron nitrate of molecular weight of 24.86 in distilled water for 30 min. and 60°C using equation (1). The two solutions are mixed via a stirrer for 30 min.…”

“…Quaternary alloys have the potential for optoelectronic applications, and they are crystallized usually as tetragonal or cubic structures [1,2]. The industry of optoelectronics has grown rapidly during the last decades [3], and 80-90% of the solar cell technology is dominated by silicon-based materials that is proved to be a solid technology in the PV modules, due to cost-effectiveness and abundance of the used silicon in bulk (first generation), thin film (second generation) and some of the nanostructured (third generation) solar cells [4].…”

“…Specific methods have explored quaternary alloys and effective techniques have been utilized to prepare the alloys such as solvothermal [13], radio-frequency magnetron sputtering [14], sequential electrodeposition [15], ultrasonic spray pyrolysis [16] and electrosynthesis [17]. The spin coating technique shows a direct correlation between high annealing temperature and crystallite size [1]. The NiZnFe 2 O 3 quaternary alloy nanostructure has been synthesized by the chemical co-precipitation technique.…”
