Variation of the optical energy gap with γ-radiation and thickness in Bi-thin films

  • 1. Qatar Univ., Doha (Qatar). Dept. of Physics

Description

The effect of γ-radiation and thickness on the optical energy gap of Bi-thin films has been investigated by measuring their optical absorbance. The measurements were carried out on thermally evaporated films having thicknesses in the range 5-20 nm. Different γ-radiation doses were used ranging from 0-300 Mrad. The optical energy gap as well as the absorption coefficient were found to be γ-dose dependent. (author)
