Regarding the importance of DT and DM, we investigated experimentally structural and optical properties of (Na0.5Bi0.5)(Mo1-xWx)O-4 (x = 0.25) crystal that belongs to the NaBi-DT and DM crystals group. Czochralski method was used to grow the single crystals. The structure of the crystal was identified using X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. Two sharp peaks associated with tetragonal crystal structure appeared in the pattern. Vibrational modes of the studied crystal were obtained from the Raman experiments. By the help of the Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR) measurements, infrared transmittance spectrum of the studied compound was recorded. Band gap energy wase found around 3.04 eV using two methods, Tauc and derivative analysis, based on transmission spectrum. Based on the analysis of absorption coefficient, Urbach energy was obtained as 0.22 eV. The revealed structural and optical properties of the crystal indicated that the material may be a candidate for optoelectronic devices in which NaBi(MoO4)(2) and NaBi(WO4)(2) materials are utilized.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Sns2 and Ho-Doped Sns2 Thin Films: Synergistic, Dft, Photocatalytic, and Antibacterial Studies(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2024) Radja, Imane; Khane, Yasmina; Oliveira, Marisa C.; Longo, Elson; Ribeiro, Renan A. P.; Isik, Mehmit; Khan, Mohammad MansoobThis study investigates Ho-doped tin disulfide (Ho-SnS2) thin films prepared via spray coating, focusing on varying Ho doping levels (0 at. %, 2 at. %, and 4 at. %).
