Abstract

In the present paper, 4-hydroxy coumarin compound was synthesized. The crystallographic phase of this molecule was carried out by X-ray diffraction and confirms its monoclinic structure. Associated functional groups were predicted by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. To see its potential utility, a Schottky diode of this material was fabricated. The current–voltage (I–V) and optical characteristics of this Schottky diode were also investigated. Various well-established methods related with the device were used to get information about various diode parameters. From its optical measurement, this compound shows an indirect allowed transition. From optical data analysis, a band gap (E g) of around 3.78 eV was shown by this compound. The observed features exhibited by this molecule give a vital chance to explore its application for various optoelectronic devices.
