Abstract

The current work aims to prepare of silicon dioxide(SiO2)/strontium titanate(SrTiO3) nanostructures doped polystyrene (PS) to employ in various optoelectronics fields with low cost, good optical properties, excellent chemical and mechanical properties compared of other nanostructures. The optical characteristics of PS/SiO2/SrTiO3 nanostructures were studied. The obtained results indicated that the absorption (A) of PS rises about 78.9.% while the transmission (T) reduces about 40.6% with an increase in the SiO2/SrTiO3 NPs ratio to 6.4 wt.%. The energy gap(Eg) of pure PS reduced from 4.2 eV for PS to 3.5 eV when the SiO2/SrTiO3 NPs ratio reached 6.4 wt.%, and these results can be as key to use the PS/SiO2/SrTiO3 nanostructures in optical and electronic fields. The other optical constants: absorption coefficient (α), refractive index (n), extinction coefficient (k), real (ε1) and imaginary (ε2) parts of dielectric constants and optical conductivity (σop) for polystyrene improved about 78.9%, 33.8%, 78.9%, 56.1%, 86%, 86% respectively, with adding of the SiO2/SrTiO3 NPs to 6.4 wt.% at wavelength (λ = 560 nm), this behavior make the PS/SiO2/SrTiO3 nanostructures can be considered as good optical materials for electronic and optical applications. Finally, the results showed that the PS/SiO2/SrTiO3 nanostructures can be considered as promising nanostructures for optics, photonics and electronics devices.
