We report pseudodielectric function data 〈ε〉=〈ε1〉+i〈ε2〉 of ZnSexTe1−x samples grown on GaAs substrates. The data were obtained from 1.5 to 6.5 eV using spectroscopic ellipsometry. Critical-point parameters were obtained by fitting model line shapes to numerically calculated second-energy derivatives of 〈ε〉. The bowing parameters of E0, E1, and E1+Δ1 were determined and were comparable to that of E0 quoted from the literature. We observed a monotonic increase of the linewidth of the E1 gap up to x=0.85, whereas that of E1+Δ1 showed a maximum value near x=0.5. We attribute this anomalous broadening of the E1 gap to sample microstructures developed in the low-Te composition alloys.
There has been a need to improve color temperature without using asymmetric cell structures using transparent dielectric layers with variation of Co3O4 contents in plasma display panel (PDP). In this study, ZnO–B2O3–SiO2–Al2O3 glasses with variations of the Co3O4 content (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 wt%) were fabricated and the optical properties of these glasses were characterized. As the content of Co3O4 increased, the transmittance of the red region (from 580 to 780 nm) decreased more than of the blue region (from 380 to 500 nm). This change of transmittance induced the transition of the coordination of the color temperature toward the blue region. Therefore, the addition of 2 wt% Co3O4 can improve the color temperature from 6087 to 7378 K and the result was confirmed using simulation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
