Abstract
In this study, a novel preparation method combining cryo-mediated method and salt-assisted liquid-phase exfoliation is presented for the preparation of Gallium Selenide (GaSe) nanosheets and the absorption coefficient are estimated by the Raman signal attenuation method on silicon substrates.It was found that Potassium citrate (C6H5K3O7·H2O) as an accelerator increased the lateral size of GaSe nanosheets, while employing liquid nitrogen as a cryo-mediation significantly reduced the surface roughness of the nanosheets. Furthermore, a correlation exists between the duration of cryo-pretreatment and the thickness distribution of GaSe nanosheets.Using the absorption overlayer model, the study experimentally determined more accurate absorption coefficient of 2D GaSe nanosheets by analyzing the changes in Raman signal intensity on a silicon substrate induced by GaSe nanosheets with varying thicknesses, resulting in an average absorption coefficient of 5.68×104 cm−1.This study introduces a novel approach to prepare GaSe and other two-dimensional (2D) material nanosheets with large size and low roughness, based on which the absorption coefficient of GaSe nanosheets are also determined in a more precise way.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
