Zn/ZnO NPs were synthesized via an Nd-YAG laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm, applied energy of 800 mJ, a frequency of 6 Hz, and 100 laser pulses at room temperature. The Zn metal plate was dipped in Ethanol, Acetone, and Distilled Water, respectively. The UV-Vis results shows sharp and single peaks at 320, 341, and 333 nm for Zn/ZnO NPs in Ethanol, Acetone, and Distilled Water respectively. FTIR testing shows peaks at about 500 cm−1 for Zn/ZnO NPs in Ethanol, Acetone, and Distilled Water, which indicates Zn-O stretching vibrations. XRD investigation shows low-angle peaks at 23.31˚, 23.81˚, and 19.20˚ for Zn/ZnO NPs in Ethanol, Acetone, and Distilled Water, respectively. In addition, a sharp peak of high intensity was observed at 13.54˚ for Zn/ZnO Core/Shell NPs in Acetone. These peaks indicate that the structure is stable and undistorted. These patterns emphasize compact pore arrangements. The lower intensity of the gradient peaks indicates that ZnO formed at a preferred site. Nor did high-angle XRD patterns appear, indicating that the formed ZnO NPs are so small to be distinct from background noise or undetectable by widish angle XRD. The broad XRD peak at 2θ angles from 20° to 30° can also confirm that ZnO is low-crystalline. The TEM images show the presence of Zn/ZnO NPs in Ethanol, Acetone, and Distilled Water with a size of less than 50 nm, and TEM analysis confirms that the primary structure of Zn/ZnO NPs is a Core/Shell.\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":16215,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Kufa - Physics","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74806493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main objective of the study is to successfully prepare new types of perovskites using the one-step method by changing the weight ratios of lead halide PbI2 in a fixed weight ratio of methyl ammonium bromide MABr, where they were classified into samples P1 which represents MABr/PbI2 weight ratios (0.22:0.39)g, P4 which represents MABr/PbI2 weight ratios (0.22:0.59)g and P7 which represents MABr/PbI2 weight ratios (0.22:0.79)g and the impact of this change was studied. High crystallinity was obtained in the crystal structure of the P4 sample after increasing the weight ratio of lead halide from 0.39 g to 0.59 g.  Then the crystallization decreased and the crystal structure changed after increasing the weight ratio from 0.59 g to 0.79 g in the sample P7. The increase in PbI2 weight from 0.39 g to 0.59 g and 0.79 g affected the absorption edge and shifted widely towards long wavelengths (red shift) from 625 nm to 691 nm and 805 nm.  The energy band gap changed from 1.98 eV to 1.79 eV and to 1.53 eV. The study showed that the surface morphology of these samples, where a sample with a homogeneous film with a high density was obtained, resulted from an increase in the weight of lead halide from 0.39 g to 0.59 g and with small Nano-diameters of 34.25 nm for the P4 sample. After increasing the weight from 0.59 g to 0.79 g, a sample was obtained with a less dense membrane that contains many voids and a semi-micro large particle diameter is 97.32 nm for the sample P7.

On other hand, B5 , B6 bands show higher reflectivity than others of OLI sensor in all pedons sites. As the NDVI index values were 0.1 or less, this mean that most of study areas were bare soils or covered with low vegetation.
