“…The microscope was working in contact mode with the Sicon-A cantilever. The resulting 3D images were analyzed using Gwyddion 2.58 software [ 29 ]. The layer profiles were checked, the average roughness was calculated, and Minkowski functionals were determined, on the basis of which it is possible to analyze the spatial location of holes (or valleys) on the surface of the tested sample.…”

This article covers selected properties of organic–inorganic thin films of hybrid perovskites with the summary formulas CH3NH3MI3, where M = Pb, Cd, Ge, Sn, Zn. The paper discusses not only the history, general structure, applications of perovskites and the basics of the theory of nonlinear optics, but also the results of experimental research on their structural, spectroscopic, and nonlinear optical properties. The samples used in all presented studies were prepared in the physical vapor deposition process by using co-deposition from two independent thermal sources containing the organic and inorganic parts of individual perovskites. Ultimately, thin layers with a thickness of the order of nanometers were obtained on glass and crystalline substrates. Their structural properties were characterized by atomic force microscopy imaging. Spectroscopic tests were used to confirm the tested films’ transmission quality and determine previously unknown physical parameters, such as the absorption coefficient and refractive index. Experimental results of the nonlinear optical properties were obtained by studying the second and third harmonic generation processes and using initial sample polarization in the so-called Corona poling process. The obtained experimental results allowed us to determine the second- and third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility of the tested materials.

“…The photoluminescence of the thin layers grown on the glass substrate was measured by using FluoroMax-4 spectrofluorometer using FluorEssence software, and the source of excitation was a xenon lamp (Anoua et al 2021 ; Zawadzka et al 2019 ). This machine allows the measurement of excitation and emission as a function of the wavelength.…”

In this work, a novel experimental investigation of photoluminescence properties of Znq2 thin films co-doped with different concentrations of DCM were performed. The thin films were successfully deposited on glass substrates with different compositions, under high vacuum, by using the vacuum evaporation technique. For all compositions, the photoluminescence was measured at room temperature and also at low temperature in a wide range from 77 to 300 K with a step of 25 K in a high vacuum. The lifetime of the sample studied in real time was also measured using the decay time technique. The results obtained confirm that the doping influences the intensity of the DCM photoluminescence and also shows a complete energy transfer occurred from Znq2 to DCM which may have shifted the photoluminescence peak from Znq2 to the orange wavelength region which is related to DCM. The lifetime of the sample studied in real time was about 4.47 ns for Znq2 and while all the other samples showed two decay time components. As a result, the doping influences the optical properties of Znq2 and makes it a potential candidate for optoelectronic applications. Graphical abstract

“…In addition, in other studies, the application of curcumin dye from Curcuma Longa on DSSC has enormous potential. Based on the results, it is known that the power conversion efficiency of DSSC utilizing dye Curcuma Longareaches 0.86% [18]. Dye chlorophyll and anthocyanins also produce a fairly good potency in the visible light region.…”

Exploration of plant variations is required to determine the absorbance ability and potential utilization of dye in the development of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC). Extraction of four different plants was carried out to obtain three different types of natural dyes. The curcumin dye was obtained from the extraction of Curcuma longa, the chlorophyl dye was obtained from the extraction of Bryophytes, the anthocyanin dye was obtained from the extraction of Brassica oleracea var capitata f. rubra, and Tradescantia spathacea. The research was conducted to determine the absorbance capability of each different type of dye and the image of the thin layer of TiO2 nanofiber used by DSSC. Extraction is carried out through a drying and pounding process. The powder of each plant was then synthesized using ethanol through a homogenization process for 12 hours. The research utilizes a spectrophotometer UV-Visible to determine the wavelength of the natural dye, as well as a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to determine the size of the titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin film nanofiber based on the displayed image. DSSC utilizes TiO2 nanofiber as a thin layer of semiconductor. The dye absorption peak is in the wavelength range of 350-500 nm and 650-700 nm. Based on the analysis of absorbance results, curcumin dye has the greatest potential to be used in DSSC with the highest absorption ability in all its occurrences at visible light wavelengths.
