A bilayer film consisting of a layer of a-Se$_{75}$ Ge$_{25}$ with a surface layer of silver -100[.angs.] thick and a monolayer film of a-Se$_{75}$ Ge$_{25}$ are irradiated with 9[keV] Ga$^{+}$ ion beam. The Ga$^{+}$ ion (10$^{16}$ [ions/cm$^{2}$] exposed a-Se$_{75}$ Ge$_{25}$ and Ag/a-Se$_{75}$ Ge$_{25}$ thin films show an increase in optical absorption, and the absorption edge on irradiation with shifts toward longer wavelength. The shift toward longer wavelength called a "darkening effect" is observed also in film exposure to optical radiation(4.5*10$^{20}$ [photons/cm$^{2}$]). The 0.3[eV] edge shift for ion irradiation films is about twice to that obtained on irradiation with photons. These large changes are primarily due to structural changes, which lead to high etch selectivity and high sensitivity.

Hydrothermally grown ZnO nanorods were synthesized with various Sn contents on quartz substrates, ranging from 0 to 2.5 at% in increment 0.5 at%. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and ultraviolet (UV)- visible spectroscopy were used to determine the effect of Sn doping on the structural and optical properties. In the SEM images, the nanorods have hexagonal wurzite structure and the diameter of the nanorods increase with increase in the Sn contents. The optical parameters of the Sn-doped ZnO nanorods such as the absorption coefficients, optical bandgaps, Urbach energies, refractive indices, dispersion parameters, dielectric constants, and optical conductivities were gained from the transmittance and reflectance results. In the PL spectra, the NBE peaks in the UV region decrease and blue-shift with increase in the Sn contents. In addition, the DLE peaks in the visible region of the nanorods shift toward low-energy region when the ZnO nanorods doped with various Sn contents.

Al 농도를 0 부터 2 at.% 까지 조절하여 도핑된 $Cd_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}O$ 박막을 석영 기판 위에 성장하였다. Al 도핑된 $Cd_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}O$ 박막의 구조적, 광학적 특성을 조사하기 위해 field-emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL), 그리고 ultraviolet-visible (UV) spectroscopy을 사용하였다. 광학적 밴드갭은 Al 도핑 농도가 증가함에 따라 2.874 (0 at.%), 2.874 (0.5 at.%), 3.029 (1.0 at.%), 3.038 (1.5 at.%), 3.081 eV (2.0 at.%)로 증가하였다. Urbach energy는 도핑 농도에 따라 각각 464 (0 at.%), 585 (0.5 at.%), 571 (1.0 at.%), 600 (1.5 at.%), 470 meV (2.0 at.%)이었다. 또한, Al 농도가 증가함에 따라 $Cd_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}O$ 박막의 표면, 구조적 및 광학적 특성이 크게 변화되었다.

The novelty in the present search, the Soda-Lime-Silica (SLS) glass waste to prepare free lead glass shielding was used in order to limit the accumulation of glass waste, which requires extensive time to decompose. This also saves on the consumption of pure SiO₂, which is a finite resource. Furthermore, the combining of BaO with Bi₂O₃ into a glass network leads to increased optical properties and improved attenuation. The UV-Visible Spectrophotometer was used to investigate the optical properties and the radiation shielding properties were reported for current glass samples utilizing the PhysX/PDS online software. The optical property results indicate that when BaO content increases in glass structure, the Urbach energy ΔE, and refractive index n increases while the energy optical band gap E_opt decreases. The result of the metallisation criteria (M) revealed that the present glass samples are nonmetallic (insulators). Furthermore, the radiation shielding parameter findings suggest that when BaO was increased in the glass structure, the linear attenuation coefficient and effective atomic number (Z_eff) rose. But the half-value layer HVL declined as the BaO concentration grew. According to the research, the glass samples are non-toxic, transparent to visible light, and efficient radiation shielding materials. The Ba5 sample is considered the best among all the samples due to its higher attenuation value and lower HVL and MFP values, which make it a suitable candidate as transparent glass shield shielding.

ZnO seed layers were deposited on a quartz substrate using the sol-gel method, and B-doped ZnO (BZO) nanorods with different B concentrations ranging from 0 to 2.5 at.% were grown on the ZnO seed layers by the hydrothermal method. The structural, optical, electrical propertiesof the ZnO and BZO nanorods were investigated using field-emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and hall effect. The ZnO and BZO nanorods grew well aligned on the surface of the quartz substrates. From the XRD data, it can be seen that the B doping is responsible for the distortion of the ZnO lattice. The PL spectra show near-band-edge emission and deep-level emission, and they also show that B doping significantly affects the PL properties of ZnO nanorods. The optical band gaps are changed by B doping, and thus the Urbach energy value changed with the optical band gap of the ZnO nanorods. From the hall measurements, it can be observed that the values of electrical resistivity, carrier concentration, and mobility are changed by B doping.

$Cd_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin films were grown on quartz substrates by using the sol-gel spin-coating method. The mole fraction, x, of the $Cd_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin films was controlled from 0 to 1 by changes in the content ratio of the cadmium acetate dehydrate [$Cd{(CH_3COO)}_2{\cdot}2H_2O$] and zinc acetate dehydrate [$Zn{(CH_3COO)}_2{\cdot}2H_2O$]. The effects of the mole fraction on the morphological, structural, and optical properties of the $Cd_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin films were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and UV-visible spectroscopy. The $Cd_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin films exhibited the polygonal surface morphology and their grain size was increased ranging from 42.1 to 63.9 nm with the increase in the mole fraction. It was observed that the absorption bandgap of the $Cd_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin films decreased from 3.25 to 2.16 eV as the mole fraction increased and the Urbach energy ($E_U$) values changed inversely to the optical bandgap of the $Cd_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin films.

The effect of modifiers on the optical features and radiation defying ability of the Eu³⁺ ions doped multi constituent glasses was examined. XRD has established the amorphous nature of the specimen. The presence of various functional/fundamental groups in the present glasses was analyzed through FTIR spectra. The physical, structural and elastic traits of the glasses were explored. The variation in the structural compactness of the glass structure according to the incorporated modifier was enlightened to describe their suitability for a better shielding media. For the examined glasses, the metallization criterion value varied in the range 0.613-0.692, indicating the non-metallic character of the glasses with possible nonlinear optical applications. The computed elastic moduli expose the Li-containing glass (BTLi:Eu) to be tightly packed and rigid, which is a requirement for a better shielding channel. Furthermore, the optical bandgap and the Urbach energy values are calculated based on the optical absorption spectra. The evaluated bonding parameters revealed the nature of the fabricated glasses covalent. In addition, we investigated the radiation attenuation attributes of the prepared Eu³⁺ ions doped multi constituent glasses using Phy-X software. We determined the linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) and reported the influence of the five oxides Li₂O₃, CaO, BaO, SrO, and ZnO on the LAC values. The LAC varied between 0.433 and 0.549 cm^-1 at 0.284 MeV. The 39B₂O₃-25TeO₂-15Li₂O₃-10Na₂O-10K₂O-1Eu₂O₃ glass has a much smaller LAC than the other glasses.
