Optical properties of PVC nanocomposites based on synthesized multiferroic nanoparticles
摘要
The structure and optical characteristics of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) doped with varying concentrations of multiferroic BiNi0.1Fe0.9O3 NPs (nanoparticles) have been investigated. The sol-gel method was employed to prepare multiferroic NPs. The morphology of the generated multiferroic NPs was investigated using the high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM). Solution casting was used to create PVC/BiNiFeO3 -NPs nanocomposites. The density progressively rises as the amount of multiferroic NPs increases. As the concentration of the Multiferroic dopant rose, the values of Eg decreased from 5.241 ± 0.001 eV to 2.751 ± 0.001 eV and Urbach energy (EU) increased from 0.458 ± 0.001 eV to 41.254 ± 0.001 eV. An increase in multiferroic nano-ferrite concentration resulted in an improvement in the polymer film samples’ refractive index. The suggested samples can be applied for optical and spintronic devices.
