Abstract
This study objects to synthesize of silicon carbide (SiC)/barium titanate (BaTiO3) nanostructures doped polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)/polyethylene oxide (PEO) blend as a promising nanosystems to apply in photonics and optics applications with few cost, flexible, lightweight, and excellent optical properties compared to other nanosystems. The morphological and optical properties of PMMA/PEO/SiC/BaTiO3 nanostructures were explored. The morphology of films surface for PMMA/PEO/SiC/BaTiO3 nanostructures was investigated by optical microscope(OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The optical characteristics were examined at wavelength range from 240 to 840 nm. The OM and SEM analysis were indicated to the excellent homogeneous of SiC/BaTiO3 NPs within the PMMA/PEO matrix. The optical characteristics of PMMA/PEO/SiC/BaTiO3 nanostructures demonstrated that the absorbance(A) increased of 45.7% at UV-λ = 280 nm, 53.3 at VIS-λ = 480 nm and 57.4% at IR-λ = 780 nm when the content of SiC/BaTiO3 NPs reached of 6.4 wt.%. The energy band gap decreased for allowed from 3.4 to 1.9 eV and from 2.8 to 1.7 eV for forbidden indirect transitions. The other optical parameters: absorption coefficient (α), extinction coefficient (k), refractive index (n), real (ε1) and imaginary(ε2) parts of dielectric constants and optical conductivity (σop) of PMMA/PEO blend enhanced with rising of the SiC/BaTiO3 NPs, this performance lead to create the PMMA/PEO/SiC/BaTiO3 nanostructures as a superior optical nanomaterials for optical and electronics approaches. Finally, the excellent obtained results make the PMMA/PEO/SiC/BaTiO3 nanostructures are welcomed in various optical and photonics devices.
