We examine the photo-assisted polarization loop in a BiFeO3 thin film under UV light illumination. BiFeO3 thin film prepared by pulsed laser deposition method onto the BaTiO3 thin film and the polarization behavior has been measured under poling voltage. Our results show the engineered polarization due to controllable schottky barrier under inverse poling voltage. This control on schottky barri...

Common transparent polymer films such as cellophane and household tape are frequently used examples of birefringent materials in textbooks classroom demonstrations. Qualitatively, birefringence is often demonstrated by layering between crossed-polarizers. In this work, we describe an inexpensive experimental setup for the quantitative measurement common films, suitable senior high school or und...

Over the past decade, many applications were intended for filtration by membrane technology especially the thin film composite (TFC) membranes. In advanced developments of thin film membranes, an attempt was made to spread a new generation of membranes called thin film nano composite (TFN) membranes. However, in the last generation of TFNs, an ultrathin selective film of nanoparticles is coated...

Abstract: Different thickness of Cu2S thin films were prepared by vacuum evaporation under a pressure of 10-6 torr at an evaporation rate of 3Å /sec. Cu2S has direct band gap energy and indirect band gap energy at 1.2eV and 1.8 eV respectively. This paper presents the analysis of structural and optical properties of the Cu2S thin film by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and UV-Vis-NIR Spectrophotomet...

titanium nitride-copper (tin-cu) nanocomposite films were deposited onto stainless steel substrate using hollow cathode discharge ion plating technique. the influence of cu content in the range of 2-7 at.% on the microstructure, morphology and mechanical properties of deposited films were investigated. structural properties of the films were studied by x-ray diffraction pattern. topography of t...
