“…There was no substantial difference between the SEM images, with the formation of agglomerates for all percentages of Ti(IV), probably due to the high adhesion forces between the particles [26]. The values for thickness varied between 6 and 20 μm; Homcheunjit et al [24] also observed differences in thickness from 8 to 20 μm, when depositing thin films by spray pyrolysis and dip coating. These results showed the importance of finding an optimum thickness.…”

For oxide semiconductors for application in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), titanium dioxide conjugated with zinc oxide thin films was synthesized and characterized. The UV (ultraviolet) spectrum characterization showed a peak of absorbance at around 355 nm, with a band gap of 3.25 eV and reflectance around 85%. Such characteristics allowed the fabrication of DSSCs with N719 dye, under simulated light of 100 mW/cm 2 . The highest efficiency of 1.17% was at 5% titanium dioxide and 4 h of dye immersion.

“…The thickness of the films was obtained using the Kubelka-Munk (K-M) transformation function as expressed in Eqs. 1 and 2 to assume the values for absorption coefficient (α) and thickness (d) [29,30], using reflectance (R) and transmittance values (T) obtained by the UV analysis. Table 2 lists the values.…”

Thin film semiconductors are broadly applied in optical and energy conversion devices. Some thin films comprise titanium dioxide, tin oxide, and zinc oxide. The characteristics of the thin films can be changed according to their application. Zinc oxide semiconductors thin films were combined with different concentrations of LiClO4, varying between 5 and 15% weight percentage. This study aimed to qualify and quantify the morphological, structure, and optical changes in ZnO affected by the presence of lithium salt in the microstructure. The x-ray measurements demonstrated larger polycrystalline sizes, a maximum of 57.53 nm. The band gap energy values lowered to 3.16 eV, lower than the usual 3.37 eV, and reflectance values reached 80%.

“…Additionally, a decrement in the n values originates from the preliminary band gap absorption. The lower n values have potential applications in optical devices such as n modifications in desired conductivity and mobility 42 . Moreover, it has been observed that the k-values of the ligand indicate approximately constant same as its n values, but for Cu (II) Complex represents a sharp decrement and reaches zero in, allowing the incident light to pass with negligible loss.…”

A new series of Cu (II) complexes were prepared using Schiff base ligand of N–N′-(1,2-diphenyl ethane-1,2-diylidene)bis(3-Nitrobenzohydrazide). The prepared ligand and Cu (II) complex were characterized using various physicochemical investigations such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), $${}^{13}C$$ 13 C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), $${}^{1}H$$ 1 H NMR, Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM), and Z-Scan technique (Nonlinear optical (NLO) properties). In addition, the prepared samples have been examined for their NLO characteristics with the help of the Density Functional Theory calculations which proved that the Cu (II) Complex is more polarized than Ligand. According to XRD and FESEM results, the nanocrystalline nature of the samples is confirmed. The metal-oxide bond assigned in the functional studies by FTIR. Magnetic studies demonstrate weak ferromagnetic and paramagnetic nature for Cu (II) complex and diamagnetic nature for the ligand, respectively. DRS spectrum exhibited higher reflectance for Cu (II) than the ligand. The band gap energies of the synthesized samples were estimated by employing the Tauc relation and Kubelka–Munk theory on reflectance data and found to be 2.89 eV and 2.67 eV for Cu (II) complex and ligand, respectively. Extinction coefficient and refractive index values were calculated using the Kramers–Kronig method. The z-scan technique was applied to estimate the NLO properties by a 532 nm Nd:YAG laser.
