    Synthesis and Optical Characterization of Amaranth Dye Doped Thiourea Barium Chloride (TBC) Single Crystals
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2018) Mahendra, K.; D'Souza, A.; Ifthekarahmed; Udayashankar, N.K.
    Thiourea barium chloride (TBC), Amaranth doped (0.05, 0.1 mM) TBC(ADTBC) crystals were synthesized at room temperature by solvent evaporation process. Structural analysis of TBC and ADTBC were studied using powder XRD, results confirmed that dye got incorporated into the host lattice. Optical analysis of the TBC and ADTBC crystals were carried using UV-Visible and photoluminescence spectrophotometer. Results showed that both pure and dye doped crystals had an absorption peak at around 264 nm. Optical bandgap of the crystal was found to be decreasing as the doping percentage of the crystal increased. Pure and doped crystals exhibit a strong emission peak in the blue region. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

    Structural and optical analysis of silver nanoparticles grown on porous anodic alumina membranes by electro-less deposition
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2019) Ramana Reddy, P.; Ajith, K.M.; Udayashankar, N.K.
    In this paper, we report our studies on silver nanoparticles which were synthesized inside the pores of porous anodic alumina (PAA) membranes by electro-less deposition method. The morphology of silver (Ag) nanoparticles was studied using FE-SEM. The result of FE-SEM showed that the Ag nanoparticles were spherical in shape and spread in uniform manner throughout the membrane. The elemental composition of Ag nanoparticles was investigated by Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. Structural characterization using X-ray diffraction pattern showed that PAA was amorphous and silver nanoparticles on PAA were crystalline in nature. Absorbance and luminescent behaviour of PAA and Ag-PAA were studied using UV-Visible and Photoluminescence (PL) spectra. PL spectra results revealed the presence of a strong peak at 392 nm in blue region, confirming the fact that the silver nanoparticles were embedded in the alumina template. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd.
