Nonlinear optical dynamics in CdSe/Bi2O3 thin films
摘要
Herein, thermally evaporated CdSe thin films are interfaced with Bi2O3 nanosheets to construct a conduction band aligned heterojunction device suitable for nonlinear optical applications. Depositing of Bi2O3 nanosheets onto CdSe, increased the crystallite size and decreased the strain and line defects concentration by 15.4%, 12.2% and 23.1%, respectively. Bi2O3 nanosheets successfully narrowed the energy band gap of CdSe. The absorption improved by 403%, and optical conductivity, dielectric constant and terahertz cutoff frequency are increased by 498% 60% and 302% near 1.65 eV, respectively. In addition, formation of zero conduction band offset and large valence band offset of 1.55 eV, resulted in high drift mobility and free carrier density values of 27.75 cm2/Vs and 4.0
