Synthesis and Improved Optical Properties of PVA–In2O3–Fe2O3 Nanostructures to Use in Optical Fields

547–558 (2025)

PACS numbers: 78.20.Ci, 78.40.Me, 78.67.Sc, 81.07.Pr, 82.35.Np, 85.60.Dw

The PVA–In2O3–Fe2O3 nanocomposites are fabricated by the casting method. Solar cells, transistors, and electronic gate units are just a few examples of the many nanoelectronic–optical systems, which can benefit from these nanocomposites. Nanocomposites including polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), indium oxide (In2O3), and iron oxide (Fe2O3) have their optical characteristics studied. The nanocomposites have significant ultraviolet (UV) light absorption properties. Moreover, the transmittance diminishes, when the In2O3–Fe2O3-nanoparticles’ increase. By raising the weight percent ratio of In2O3–Fe2O3 nanosize components to 6 percent, we found that polyvinyl-alcohol average energy gap (Eg) decreases that makes it suitable for photonics applications. A number of optical characteristics are evaluated, such as the extinction coefficient (k), absorption coefficient (α), refractive index (n), optical conductivity, the real component (ε1) and imaginary component (ε2) of the dielectric constant.

KEY WORDS: polyvinyl alcohol, indium oxide, iron oxide, optical properties
