Abstract

Listen

It is known that a material’s volume and the surface structuring by the nanoparticles causes a significant change in the material’s basic properties. In this aspect, the structuration of the surface of semiconductors is of interest, because their wide potential application in optoelectronics can extend the products’ transparency, hardness, wettability, and other important parameters. This paper presents possible methods for the surface modification of zinc selenide and zinc sulfide when carbon nanotubes are deposited on the surface by the application of the laser-oriented technique. It also shows changes of the spectral, mechanical, and wetting characteristics of the considered materials. Using the molecular dynamic simulations, the possible process of the carbon nanotubes penetration into the considered surfaces is presented. The simulation results are partially supported by the obtained experimental data.

Highlights

Among the different materials involved in general optoelectronics, semiconductor materials occupy a special place that is connected with the unique charge carrier mobility of the semiconductor structures and their operation in the visible and near-IR spectral range
It should be remarked that ZnSe and ZnS materials are widely used to make the electrically and optically addressed spatial light modulators (SLM), which operate in the blue and in the visible spectral range
It is well known that the ZnSe and ZnS materials are the most promising key elements in the optical industry

Summary

Introduction

Among the different materials involved in general optoelectronics, semiconductor materials occupy a special place that is connected with the unique charge carrier mobility of the semiconductor structures and their operation in the visible and near-IR spectral range. These structures can be involved in the solar energy, gas storage, modulation, optical limiting, etc. It should be remarked that ZnSe and ZnS materials are widely used to make the electrically and optically addressed spatial light modulators (SLM), which operate in the blue and in the visible spectral range
