Optical and electrical characterization of 2D semiconducting graphitic carbon nitride by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy
摘要
In this report, the structural, morphological and electro-optical analysis of 2-D graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nano-sheets has been performed. The g-C3N4 nano-sheets were synthesized based on the thermal calcination process and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). X-ray diffraction studies (XRD) showed the inter-layer spacing to be 0.323 nm for the (002) plane which is 3.5% more dense than crystalline graphite and higher than literature reports for g-C3N4. For the evaluation of electro-optical properties, we have utilized time-domain spectroscopy for the frequency range 0.2 to 2 THz. The complex reflective indices (n, k) and permittivity (
