    Structural and Optoelectronic Properties of Moo3 Interfaces
    (Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2019) Alharbi, Seham Reef; Qasrawi, Atef Fayez
    In this article, the authors discuss the growth nature, the structural, optical and dielectric properties of CuSe thin films deposited onto MoO3 substrate. The films are studied by the X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and ultraviolet-visible light spectroscopy techniques. CuSe thin films are observed to exhibit strained nature of growth when grown onto MoO3 amorphous substrates. Optically, the MoO3/CuSe films are found to exhibit conduction (Delta Ec) and valence (Delta Ev) band offsets of values of 3.70 and 3.42 eV, respectively. In addition, a remarkable increase in the absorbability (R lambda) of MoO3 by 72 times at 3.0 eV is obtained as a result of coating it with CuSe. The Delta Ec, Delta Ev, and R lambda values are significantly high and nominate the MoO3/CuSe interfaces for use in many optoelectronic applications. In addition, the dielectric analysis shows that the MoO3/CuSe heterojunction exhibit optical conductivity parameters that make it suitable for use in optical communications. Particularly, the Drude-Lorentz modeling of the imaginary part of the dielectric constant for the MoO3/CuSe interfaces displays mobility and plasmon frequency values of 7.76 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) and 3.78 GHz, respectively. The obtained plasmon frequency values indicate the applicability of this device in microwave technology.

    Structural, Compositional and Optical Properties of Gallium Selenide Thin Films Doped With Cadmium
    (Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2008) Qasrawi, A. F.; Saleh, A. A.
    Polycrystalline cadmium doped gallium selenide thin films were obtained by the thermal co-evaporation of GaSe crystals and Cd grains onto glass substrates. The structural, compositional and optical properties of these films have been investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and UV-visible spectroscopy techniques, respectively. Particularly, the elemental analysis, the crystalline nature, the energy band gap, the refractive index, the dispersion energy and static dielectric constant have been identified. The absorption coefficient spectral analysis in the sharp absorption region revealed a direct forbidden energy band gap of 1.22 eV. The cadmium doping has caused a significant decrease in the values of the energy band gap and in all the dispersive optical parameters, as well. (C) 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinbeim.
