Abstract

This work aims to prepare of silicon carbide(SiC)/tantalum carbide(TaC) nanostructures doped polycarbonate(PC) as new optical materials can be utilized in different optoelectronics nanodevices with few cost, lightweight, excellent optical properties, good mechanical and chemical characteristics. The optical characteristics of PC/SiC/TaC nanostructures were examined. The obtained results showed that the absorption spectrum of PC was rise about 25% with increase in the SiC/TaC NPs contents to 4.8 wt.%. The energy gap of PC/SiC/TaC nanostructures was found from 3.69 eV for PC to 3.2 eV when the SiC/TaC NPs ratio reached (4.8 wt.%), and these results may be as key to employ the PC/SiC/TaC nanostructures in various photonics fields and optoelectronics nanodevices. The other optical parameters of PC/SiC/TaC nanostructures of PC were improved by adding the SiC/TaC NPs with wide range of optical absorption and this behavior make it may be considered as excellent optical materials for photonics applications. Finally, the results indicated that the PC/SiC/TaC nanostructures can be considered as promising materials for optoelectronics nanodevices.
