In the present research, effect of Neodymium Oxide (NdO) addition on the optical properties of Poly (vinyl alcohol)-poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVA-PVP) hydrogels composites have been investigated. The blend samples have been obtained by adding NdO to (PVA-PVP) with various weight percentages by solution casting method. The absorption spectra has been registered at the wavelength scope 200-1100 nm. The experimental results show that the (absorption coefficient, extinction coefficient, refractive index, real and imaginary dielectric constants) increased with an increasing of the concentration of NdO, and the energy gap of the indirect transition (allowed and forbidden) has been determined, and their values were declined with an increasing of concentration of NdO.
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.
