Borosilicate BK7 glasses doped with different amounts of CeO2 (0.5,1,1.5%) were prepared by the convenient melting process in this work. DTA analysis proved that 0.5-1% CeO2 has a network modifier role and then up to 1.5% it shows network former role.For structural studies, FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy were carried out. Fermi energy level, direct/ indirect optical band gap and Urbach energy wer...

The aim of this paper is to study the effect of Mn concentration on the structural, magneticand optical properties of TiO2 nanoparticles. TiO2 nanopowders with Mn concentration of 0%,0.2%, 1% and 5% were synthesized by the sol-gel method. The structural, surface morphologyand average crystal grain size, optical, magnetic properties and chemical compounds of thesamples are studied using XRD, FE-...

Reactive sputtering was used to grow thin films of ScxGa1-xN with scandium concentrations of 20%70% on quartz substrates at temperatures of 300-675 K. X-ray diffraction (XRD) of the films showed either weak or no structure, suggesting the films are amorphous or microcrystalline. Optical absorption spectra were taken of each sample and the optical band gap was determined. The band gap varied lin...

In this paper using nested Rectangular resonator we have designed an add-drop filter based on photonic crystal structures suitable for optical communication applications. The drop efficiency and the quality factor of our proposed filter is 100% and 2508. In this filter the quality factor is significantly improved with respect to other published reports. The simulation results are obtained using...

The solution casting method was utilized to synthesize nanocomposite films of chitosan (Cs)/CuO, Cs/graphene oxide (GO), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/TiO2, CMC/GO, sodium alginate (Na-Alg)/TiO2, and Na-Alg/GO owing their various applications. influence CuO, TiO2 GO concentration on the optical properties Cs, CMC Na-Alg studied by UV-Vis Spectroscopy. absorbance increased with increasing filler...

Silicon thin layers are deposited on glass substrates with the thickness of 103 nm, 147 nm and 197 nm. The layers are produced with electron gun evaporation method under ultra-high vacuum condition. The optical Reectance and the Transmittance of produced layers were measured by using spectrophotometer. The optical functions such as, real and imaginary part of refractive index, real and imaginar...
