The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by various techniques, including UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Photoluminescence (PL), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), Electron Spin Resonance (ESR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The XRD pattern confirmed the formation of tetragonal phase for all sintering temperatures, with the crystal size reaching a minimum of 5.5 nm at 600°C and slightly increasing to 5.9 nm at 700°C. The blue shift of the absorption edge from 372 nm at 400°C to 376 nm at 700°C implies a modification in the particle size. SEM and EDX confirmed the uniform distribution and high purity of the nanoparticles. FT-IR analysis identified the absorption peaks of the Zr–O–Zr extension with moisture content. The BET isotherm demonstrates gradual adsorption at low pressure, with sharp rise at P/P0 = 1, indicating capillary condensation in mesopores. Photocatalytic degradation of methyl blue (MB) dye under sunlight irradiation demonstrated high efficiency, with ZrO2 synthesized at 600°C exhibiting the best photocatalytic activity. The catalyst also showed good reusability, with only a slight decrease in degradation efficiency after four cycles. Overall, the study demonstrates the potential of ZrO2 nanoparticles as effective photocatalysts for environmental remediation.","PeriodicalId":731,"journal":{"name":"Physics of the Solid State","volume":"67 3","pages":"196 - 206"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143564565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The LDHs were then subjected to a series of characterization techniques, including X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and impedance spectroscopy. Thermal stability of LDHs was monitored using X-ray diffraction. It was demonstrated that increasing the iron composition allows for enhancing the process of absorbing light, increasing the refractive index, and inducing a red shift at the absorption edge. In addition, a correlation was found between increased iron composition and a reduction in optical gap energy. However, at high frequencies, the electrical conductivity and dielectric constant increased with decreasing iron content, while the dielectric loss parameters were found to be relatively dependent on both frequency and iron doping.","PeriodicalId":731,"journal":{"name":"Physics of the Solid State","volume":"67 3","pages":"225 - 238"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143564568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, attaining remarkable physicochemical properties remains an important aim. In the present paper, we report this aim by studying the influence of cadmium sources Cd(CH3COO)2, CdSO4, and Cd(NO3)2, rarely reported in the literature, on these properties. CdS films were synthesized on glass substrates, at 75°C, via chemical bath deposition. XRD analysis of prepared films indicates that the dominant structure of CdS thin films was hexagonal with a (002) preferential orientation in all samples. The lowest thickness (864 nm), highest crystallite size (95.88 nm), lowest deformation (1.04 × 10‒4) and lowest density of dislocations (1.08 × 10‒4 lines × nm–2) were found using Cd(CH3COO)2. Raman spectra showed that the greatest asymmetry of the peak located at 306.42 cm‒1 corresponding to the fundamental vibrational mode (1LO) and attributed to the Cd‒S chemical bonding, was observed for CdS films prepared from CdSO4 and Cd(NO3)2. This result meant that the defects concentration was higher using these two sources than using Cd(CH3COO)2. Furthermore, the optical results of CdS film prepared from Cd(CH3COO)2 exhibited the largest band gap (2.42 eV), lowest Urbach energy (133.21 meV), and highest transmittance (85%) in the visible wavelengths range (300‒800 nm). The extinction coefficient and refractive index were also affected by the cadmium source. Our findings demonstrated that Cd(CH3COO)2 is the best cadmium source compared to CdSO4 and Cd(NO3)2 to enhance the physicochemical properties of CdS film and make it perfectly suitable for use as a window layer for photovoltaic cells and optoelectronic devices.","PeriodicalId":731,"journal":{"name":"Physics of the Solid State","volume":"67 3","pages":"214 - 224"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143564567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ellipsometric measurements and ab initio calculations demonstrate that the α‑In2Se3 crystal behaves as an indirect-bandgap semiconductor with an approximate bandgap of 1.0 eV. Analysis of the density of states, projected onto atoms, shows that the valence band maximum primarily arises from the p-states of Se atoms, with a minor contribution from the p-states of In atoms. In contrast, the conduction band minimum mainly consists of the s-states of In atoms and the p-states of Se atoms. By comparing Raman scattering results with ab initio calculations and conducting group-theoretical analysis, we identified the phonon modes of α-In2Se3. Our study confirms that the R3m symmetry is the correct space group for the α-In2Se3 phase.","PeriodicalId":731,"journal":{"name":"Physics of the Solid State","volume":"67 3","pages":"247 - 252"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143564563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
