Abstract

The contentious origin of the luminescence of carbon nanodots (CDs) has attracted considerable attention. In this work, we synthesized CDs from orange peel by using a microwave-assisted technique. We investigated the optical properties of the synthesized CDs. Moreover, we studied the effect of matrix addition on the optical properties of CDs. We found that matrix addition significantly influences the absorbance and photoluminescence of CDs. Shifts in absorbance peak intensity and emission peak wavelength indicated that the bonding of matrix molecules on the surfaces of the CDs has changed the structures of CDs. This finding is supported by the extended half-life of CDs after matrix addition. Our results will expand researchon the use of CDs as phosphorescent materials.

Abstract

Amorphous GaInZnO (GIZO) thin films are grown on SiO2/Si substrate by the RF magnetron sputtering method. By the combination of measured band gaps from reflection energy loss spectroscopy (REELS) spectra and valence band from X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra, we have demonstrated the energy band alignment of GIZO thin films. The band gap values are 3.2 eV, 3.2 eV, 3.4eV and 3.6eV for the concentration ratios of Ga: In: Zn in GIZO thin films are 1:1:1, 2:2:1, 3:2:1 and 4:2:1, respectively. These are attributed to the larger band gap energy of Ga2O3 compared with In2O3 and ZnO. The valence band offsets (ΔEv) decrease from 2.18 to 1.68 eV with increasing amount of Ga in GIZO thin films for GIZO1 to GIZO4, respectively. These experimental values of band gap and valence band offset will provide the further understanding in the fundamental properties of GIZO/SiO2/Si heterostructure, which will be useful in the design, modeling and analysis of the performance devices applications
