Optical studies of poly (N-carbazole) (PVK) blending with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) using tauc/davis-mott model
The optical absorption spectra of blended poly (N-carbazole) (PVK) with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) in various compositions are investigated. A doctor blade technique was used to coat the blended polymer on a quartz substrate. The electronic parameters such as absorption edge (Ee), allowed direct ban...

Summary: | The optical absorption spectra of blended poly (N-carbazole) (PVK) with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) in various compositions are investigated. A doctor blade technique was used to coat the blended polymer on a quartz substrate. The electronic parameters such as absorption edge (Ee), allowed direct band gap (Ed), allowed indirect band gap (Ei), Urbach edge (Eu) and steepness parameter (γ) were calculated using Tauc/Davis-Mott Model. The results reveal that the Ee, Ed and Ei increase with increasing of PVP ratio. There also have variation changing in Urbach energy and steepness parameter. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. |
