Abstract
Optical transmission and reflection measurements of highly oriented nanocrystalline KxV2O5·nH2O films (0 ≤ x < 0.01) were studied. The optical constants such as, refractive index, the extinction coefficient, absorption coefficient, optical band gap have been calculated. The optical spectra of all samples exhibited two distinct regions of optical gap, Eop1 suggesting a direct allowed transition with optical gap ranging from 0.37 up to 0.42 eV and Eop2 suggesting a direct forbidden transition with optical gap ranging from 2.02 up to 2.23 eV. This indicates that KxV2O5·nH2O films have more than one type of conduction mechanism.
