Well-crystallized vanadium pentoxide V₂O₅ thin films are fabricated on MgO single crystal substrates by using pulsed-laser deposition technique. The linear optical transmission spectra are measured and found to be in a wavelength range from 300 to 800 nm; the data are used to determine the linear refractive index of the V₂O₅ films. The value of linear refractive index decreases with increasing wavelength, and the relationship can be well explained by Wemple's theory. The third-order nonlinear optical properties of the films are determined by a single beam z-scan method at a wavelength of 532 nm. The results show that the prepared V₂O₅ films exhibit a fast third-order nonlinear optical response with nonlinear absorption coefficient and nonlinear refractive index of 2.13 × 10^-10 m/W and 2.07 × 10^-15 cm²/kW, respectively. The real and imaginary parts of the nonlinear susceptibility are determined to be 3.03 × 10^-11 esu and 1.12 × 10^-11 esu, respectively. The enhancement of the nonlinear optical properties is discussed.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were deposited using atomic layer deposition. The electrical and optical properties were characterized using Hall measurements, spectroscopic ellipsometry and UV-visible spectrophotometry. The electronic concentration and the mobility were found to be critically dependent on the deposition temperature, exhibiting increased resistivity and reduced electronic mobility at low temperature. The corresponding optical properties were measured as a function of photon energy ranging from 1.5 to 5.0 eV. The simulated extinction coefficients allowed the determination of optical band gaps, i.e., ranging from 3.36 to 3.41 eV. The electronic carrier concentration appears to be related to the reduction in the corresponding band gap in ZnO thin films.

By inserting a very thin metal layer of Ag between two outer oxide layers of amorphous silicon indium zinc oxide (SIZO), we fabricated a highly transparent SIZO/Ag/SIZO multilayer on a glass substrate. In order to find the optimized thickness of Ag layers, we investigated the variation of optical properties depending on Ag thickness. It was found that the transition of Ag layer from island formation to a continuous film occurred at a critical thickness. Continuity of the Ag film is very important for optical properties in SIZO/Ag/SIZO multilayer. With about 15 nm thick Ag layer, the multilayer showed a high optical transmittance of 80% at 550 nm and low emissivity in IR.

The work reports on the fabrication of an optical planar waveguide in the Nd:CNGG crystal by the 0.4-MeV hydrogen ion implantation with a fluence of $8.0{\times}10^{16}ions/cm^2$. The nuclear energy loss of the implanted hydrogen ions was derived by using SRIM 2013 code. The microscope image of the proton-implanted Nd:CNGG crystal cross section was captured by a metallographic microscope. The transmittance spectra were recorded before and after the ion implantation. The light intensity distribution of the planar waveguide at 632.8 nm was experimentally measured to validate its effect on one dimension confinement. The investigation shows that the proton-implanted Nd:CNGG waveguide is a candidate for an optoelectronic integrated device.

Liquid crystals are important materials because of their applications in display technology and many other scientific applications. Different mixtures of liquid crystals and their doped samples have gained interest because a single liquid crystal compound cannot fulfill all the required parameters for the display application. The doping can be accomplished with dyes, polymers, or composite nanoparticles among other substance. The addition of nanoparticles can modify the physical properties of the host liquid crystal and enhances the performance of electro-optical devices. The present study is focused on investigations of possible changes in dielectric and electro optical properties of liquid crystals caused by doping with ceramic nanoparticles. Including smaller nanoparticles were found to be better candidates for use in suppressing the unwanted ion effects in liquid crystal displays.

Vanadium oxide thin films were deposited on $c-Al_2O_3$ (001) substrate by in-situ RF magnetron sputtering. Oxygen partial pressure was adjusted to prepare thermochromic $VO_2$ phase. X-ray diffraction patterns and scanning electron microscopy convincingly showed that plate-like $V_2O_5$ grains were changed into round-shape $VO_2$ grains as oxygen partial pressure decreased. After the optimized deposition conditions were fixed, the effect of substrate temperature and orientation on the optical properties of $VO_2$ thin films was analyzed.

$TaO_2$ thin films as gate dielectrics have been proposed to overcome the problems of tunneling current and degradation mobility in achieving a thin equivalent oxide thickness. An extremely thin $SiO_2$ layer is used in order to separate the carrier in MOSFETchannel from the dielectric field fluctuation caused by phonons in the dielectric which decreases the carrier mobility. The electronic and optical properties influenced the device performance to a great extent. The atomic structure of amorphous and crystalline Tantalum oxide ($TaO_2$) gate dielectrics thin film on Si (100) were grown by utilizing atomic layer deposition method was examined using Ta-K edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy. By using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy (REELS) the electronic and optical properties was obtained. In this study, the band gap (3.400.1 eV) and the optical properties of $TaO_2$ thin films were obtained from the experimental inelastic scattering cross section of reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy (REELS) spectra. EXAFS spectra show that the ordered bonding of Ta-Ta for c-$TaO_2$ which is not for c-$TaO_2$ thin film. The optical properties' e.g., index refractive (n), extinction coefficient (k) and dielectric function ($\varepsilon$) were obtained from REELS spectra by using QUEELS-$\varepsilon$(k, $\omega$)-REELS software shows good agreement with other results. The energy-dependent behaviors of reflection, absorption or transparency in $TaO_2$ thin films also have been determined from the optical properties.

In (GeTe)$_{100-x}$(Sb$_2$Te$_3$)$_{x}$(x=33.5, 50, 66.5, 80 at.%) thin films, the optical properties of amorphous and crystalline thin film, XRD were studied. Also, the application for the phase change optical recording materials with the high stability and rapid erasing ability were studied. In the (GeTe)$_{100-x}$(Sb$_2$Te$_{3}$)$_{x}$ the transmittance was decreased with the increase of x. In all thin films, the transmittance was decreased and the reflectance was increased by annealing and particularly, the reflectance before and after annealing showed the large reflectance ratio. The XRD pattern, it was confined that these change of optical properties was due to the crystallization of amorphous thin films. The reflectance change was investigated using isothermal annealing condition.ion.ion.

In this study, we report that an electrical properties of OLEDs was investigated by the surface etching method of ITO Layer. The electrical properties of OLEDs was measured by IVL and optical properties by EL spectrum. The fundamental structure of OLEDs was ITO anode/TPD(400$\breve{A}$)/$Alq_3(600\breve{A})$/LiF(5$\breve{A}$)/Al(1200$\breve{A}$) cathode. The threshold voltage was low value according to the low resistance of surface. The luminance was increased by decreased surface resistance.
