Structural and Optical Properties of Spin-Coated Mn3O4 Thin Films of Different Coating Layers
arXiv (Cornell University)(2023)
摘要
In present study, Tetragonal Mn3O4 thin films of different coating layers of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 were prepared on the microscopic glass slides by the spin-coating method. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and ultra-violet visible spectroscopy were used to explore the structural and optical properties of Mn3O4 thin films. XRD patterns and Raman spectra confirm the phase of all films as tetragonal. The average crystallite size of films increased from ~ 17 to ~ 25 nm with increasing coating layers. Optical properties such as band gap, skin depth, cutoff wavelength, excitation coefficient, refractive index, etc, have been studied in detail by using ultra-violet visible spectroscopy. The direct optical band gap and refractive index of fabricated films were decreased as increasing the coating layers of Mn3O4. The refractive index for 2 and 4 coating layers were decreased as increasing the incident wavelength. While for 6, 8, and 10 coating layers, the values of refractive index remain constant with respect to incident wavelength. The optical analyses suggest that prepared Mn3O4 thin films can be used as a potential candidate for optical semiconductor devices including photovoltaic cells and optical sensors.
