TLDR
In this article, depth-dependent composition changes were investigated as guides to monitor the selenization kinetics in a ZnS sprayed thin film, and the spectral analysis was carried out in the region from 400 to 1800 nm.
Abstract
In this study, ZnSSe epilayers were grown on (111) ZnS sprayed thin films. The spectral analysis was carried out in the region from 400 to 1800 nm. Analyses of the transmittance and (or) reflectance spectra indicate a decrease of the band gap energy value Eg with selenization. As the selenization process changes the structure and property of prepared materials and therefore has a direct effect on their physical properties, one of the concerns of this paper is to investigate the depth-dependent composition changes as guides to monitoring the selenization kinetics. Photothermal, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) investigations have also been carried out.

Effect of tin content on the electrical and optical properties of sprayed silver sulfide semiconductor thin films

TL;DR: In this article, a discussion of some structural calculated constants has been made with tin doping in terms of microhardness measurements, and optical analysis via the transmittance, reflectance as well as the photocurrent reveals that the direct band gap energy decreases (Egd varies from 2.34 to 2.16eV) and the indirect band gap energies increases (Egi varies from 0.98 to 1.09 eV) slightly as a function of Sn content.

Investigation of thermal diffusivity–microhardness correlation extended to surface-nitrured steel using boubaker polynomials expansion

TL;DR: In this article, a polynomial correlation between the thermal diffusivity and the Vickers hardness HV using the recently established Boubaker Polynomial expansion was established. But this correlation is not an efficient guide to set an NDT protocol to investigate steel strengthened surface performance.
