Enhanced nonlinear optical properties of GO and Fe3O4-Modified CuMn2O4 nanocomposites
摘要
The present study aims to investigate the optical and structural characteristics of CuMn2O4GO and CuMn2O4GOFe3O4 nanocomposites in comparison to CuMn2O4 nanoparticles, with the goal of exploring linear, nonlinear, and photonic applications. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis determined the crystallite sizes for CuMn2O4, CuMn2O4GO, and CuMn2O4GOFe3O4 samples synthesized by the co-precipitation method to be 16.31, 4.76, and 11.86 nm, respectively. SEM images demonstrate that the particles were generally well-dispersed and mostly spherical to hexagonal in shape. By analyzing the reflectance data through the Tauc model, the direct band gap energies were found to be 2.06 eV, 2.08 eV, and 2.18 eV for CuMn2O4, CuMn2O4GO, and CuMn2O4GOFe3O4 samples, respectively. To examine the NLO properties of the nanopowders, the Z-scan method was utilized with a 532 nm Nd: YAG laser at incident powers of
