Effect of Ni-concentration on the linear and nonlinear optical properties of MoS2 nanostructures
Abstract
Ni-doped molybdenum disulfide (MoS powders at 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% and 7% of Ni are prepared by the hydrothermal method. Sophisticated analytical studies such as X-ray diffraction, Raman, TEM and photoluminescence (PL) were analyzed to predict their structural, morphological and optical properties. Effects of Ni-doping with MoS2 on crystalline structure, morphology as well their optical phenomenon were examined in detail. Ni doping on MoS2 revealed tetragonal crystal structure of the parent compound. A significant decrease in their optical energy gap (from 1.86 to 1.76eV) was perceived with Ni doping concentration increment. PL intensity exhibited a considerable improvement with Ni-doped MoS2 samples at room temperature. From a theoretical viewpoint, the compact density matrix method is applied for Ni–MoS2 to calculate their linear and nonlinear absorption coefficients as well as refractive index modulations for undoped and Ni-doped samples at the focal points of their corresponding intra-band and inter-band transitions. Observed findings are well correlated with the practical results which prove that Ni–MoS2 layers are promoters for potential applications in optoelectronic technology.
