“…Moreover, the influence of different ns pulsed irradiations in Cu/Ag/AZO multilayer films has been investigated to improve the optical and electrical properties of films [46]. In contrast, saturable absorption has been measured in ZnO films at 1560 nm [47], which can be tailored during the processing route of the synthesis [48].…”

Simultaneous interrogation of pump and probe beams interacting in ZnO nanostructures of a two-wave mixing is proposed for dual-path data processing of optical signals by nonlinear optical effects. An enhancement in third-order nonlinear optical properties was exhibited by Al-doped ZnO thin films. Multiphoton absorption and nonlinear refraction were explored by the z-scan technique at 532 nm with nanosecond pulses. The evolution of the optical Kerr effect in the ZnO thin films was analyzed as a function of the incorporation of Al in the sample by a vectorial two-wave mixing method. Electrical and photoconductive effects were evaluated to further characterize the influence of Al in the ZnO solid samples. Potential applications of nonlinear optical parameters for encoding and encrypting information in light can be envisioned.

“…Grain is the ensemble of some crystallites and sometimes consists of a single crystalline material. The average crystallite size can be determined using the Scherrer equation, and the grain morphology is commonly determined by the SEM image. − Typically, the grain size is larger than the crystallite size. − …”

“…Therefore, multilayer structure films based on metal Cu have become a research trend. Among the doped ZnO, AZO (Al-doped ZnO) has better conductivity. − Domestic and foreign scholars have widely studied the ZnO/Cu/ZnO structure, but there are relatively few studies on the AZO/Cu/AZO structure, and verification work in simulation has not been reported. The combination of transparent and conductive AZO and cheap Cu has important research significance.…”

The AZO/Cu/AZO heterogeneous interface is prepared to improve the optoelectronic property of AZO as Cu intercalation is introduced. The experimental results show that the Cu layer is at 8 nm, the (002) peak intensity of the sample reaches the maximum, the crystallization quality is the best, the roughness is the lowest, and the transmittance and conductivity have better values. In the meantime, the simulation results show that the interface of AZO/Cu is bonded, and the conductivity of AZO/ Cu is higher than that of AZO, but the transmittance is the opposite. This is consistent with the experimental results. The research implies that we can design efficient optoelectronic properties with an AZO/Cu/AZO heterogeneous interface by adjusting Cu intercalation.

“…It should also be noted that in Figure 9A, sharp ultraviolet absorption edges can be clearly observed, which might be originated from the chemical compositions of the soda-lime glass and differs from those of the transparent conductive oxide (TCO)-based films. 42,43 Based on the surface transmittance measurement results, when the line spacing of 500 µm is utilized, the average surface transmittance in the visible spectrum (400 to 700 nm) is measured to be 40.44%. As the line spacing is increased to 600 µm, the average surface transmittance in the visible is significantly increased to 53.40%.…”

Rendering transparent materials extreme wettability, for example, superhydrophobicity or superhydrophilicity, has received considerable attention during the past decades. While fabrication of superhydrophobic glass with high processing efficiency and low production cost has always been a challenge. In this work, a laser‐based surface functionalization process that combines ultraviolet (UV) nanosecond laser texturing and silicone oil‐assisted heat treatment was employed to render glass superhydrophobicity with high process throughput. The wettability transition is attributed to the combined effects of laser texturing that induces hierarchical surface micro/nanostructures and silicone oil‐assisted heat treatment that alters surface chemistry and lowers surface energy. The surface transmittance of the laser‐based surface functionalized glass samples in the visible spectrum was experimentally measured and analyzed. The laser‐based surface functionalized glass sample also exhibited long‐term stability in air, mechanical robustness and good self‐cleaning property. More importantly, the developed process shows both high process efficiency and cost effectiveness and has potential for applications where superhydrophobic glass is required.
