“…The overall mass loss of Ag/CNTs is reduced by up to 85%, 68%, and 50% till 800 °C, respectively, corresponding to varied ablation times in minutes (10, 20, and 30). The loading percentages of Ag NPs were related to the ablation time (25%, 37%, and 40%) [ 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 ].…”

Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were decorated with different amounts on the exterior walls of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by a laser ablation assisted method, especially in liquid media to be applied as a good adsorption material against naphthalene. The laser ablation time was controlled the amount of decoration Ag NPs on CNTs. The prepared nanocomposite was analyzed via different analytical techniques. Ag NPs with a small size distribution of 29 nm are uniformly decorated with spherical shape on CNTs walls. The disorder degree of tubular structure and shifting of the vibrational characteristic peaks increase with the increase in the decoration of Ag NPs. After that, the prepared samples were investigated for the removal of naphthalene. These studies of loading Ag NPs with different amounts on the surface of CNTs act as a promising material for water treatment.

“…Many different optical applications, including optical computing, broadband optical communications, refractive index modulation, integrated optics, and others, are based on their fabrication on materials with large nonlinear refractive indexes and also large third-order optical nonlinear susceptibilities. Therefore, numerous studies have focused on the nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of a large number of materials, such as organic and inorganic materials [1,2], polymers [3,4], nanomaterials [5,6], etc. Nonlinear optical characteristics can be determined using transmission and absorption measurements [7].…”

In this study, a polyvinyl alcohol–sodium alginate blend, PVA:SA 3:1 (w:w), was doped with different contents of TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) prepared by aloe vera leaf extract to form the investigated nanocomposites. The nonlinear parameters of third-order susceptibility (χ(3)) and refractive index (n2) were detected by using UV-Vis spectroscopy and Z-scan techniques. Some different optical parameters were also determined, including the refractive index (n), optical dielectric parameters, volume and surface energy loss functions, and some others. The best solar skin protection factor (SSPF) was investigated by 5 wt.% of TiO2 NPs doped in PVA:SA 3:1, which was about 84.6% compared to the corresponding value of the host blend (41%). The studied nanocomposites were examined for their utility in the optical limiting of CUT-OFF laser filters utilizing a continuous He-Ne laser working at 632.2 nm. As a result, our finding demonstrated that TiO2 NPs doped in the host blend of PVA:SA positively influences a laser light blocking for the investigated laser source. Using the estimated gap energies values, different models were used to deduce theoretical values of the linear refractive index (n). The presence of Ti peaks in the EDX spectrum confirmed the doping of TiO2 NPs in the nanocomposites. SEM showed that the TiO2 NPs are homogeneously dispersed through the host blend with some agglomerates. XRD spectra showed that the values of the lattice strain εstr. detected at 2ϴ = 19.78° are 0.058, 0.055, and 0.060, corresponding to 1, 3, and 5 wt.% of TiO2 NPs doped in the PVA:SA blend.

Phthalocyanines are of a broad interest in photovoltaic applications. In this study, films of titanium-phthalocyanine-chloride (TiPcCl2) were prepared by the thermal evaporation method.The molecular structure was studied by Raman spectrometer, showing a match between the spectra of the powder and the prepared films. The films' surface was examined by the atomic force microscope, revealing grain size and surface roughness of TiPcCl2 thin films to be 223 and 41 nm, respectively, for a 100 nm thickness. The energy gap was determined to be 1.5 eV, with no observable effect by the thickness change. Additionally, the linear and nonlinear optical constants were calculated from reflectance and transmittance measurements. The values of third nonlinear susceptibility are in order of 10 -12 esu, which is compatible with other phthalocyanines.The nonlinear optical constants indicate that TiPcCl2 films could also be used for optical laser limiters.
