Optıcal propertıes of gamma ırradıated hdpe/gaas composıte fılms
摘要
This paper presents the results of a UV–Vis spectroscopic study on the optical properties of HDPE polymer films and HDPE/GaAs composite films subjected to gamma irradiation at doses of Фγ = 100, 200, and 300 kGy at room temperature. The absorption coefficient (αhν) was determined, and the dependencies of (αhν)2 and (αhν)1/2 on the incident photon energy (hν) were obtained for the initial and γ-irradiated HDPE and HDPE/GaAs films. The energy of optical forbidden band gap (Eg) for direct and indirect transitions were evaluated according the Mott -Davis model, and dose-dependent relationship for Eg was constructed. A comparison of these dependencies reveals that all curves exhibit a linear trend. For direct transitions, the curves are nearly parallel, while for indirect transitions, the slopes differ by of ~ 1,5 times. The observed radiation-induced effects in the optical properties of the investigated films are discussed in terms of changes in their electronic structure and the nature of interactions at the polymer–semiconductor interface.
