Properties of zirconia films dispersed with PbS nanoparticles
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 January 2011
Abstract
PbS/ZrO2 optical films were prepared by the dip-coating method from a mixed sol containing two precursors, Zr(OC3H7)4 and Pb(CH3COO)2. The phase structure and size of PbS nanoparticles were characterized by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, respectively. Optical absorption and fluorescence spectra were taken on the PbS/ZrO2 films. Larger blue shifts of band edge and weak fluorescence emission of PbS were observed. The third-order nonlinear properties of PbS/ZrO2 films were studied. The calculated values of nonlinear refractive indexes n2 varied between 10−8 and 10−9 cm2/W.
