ISSUES TO ADDRESS... What happens when light shines on a material ? 1 Why do materials have characteristic colors? Optical applications: --luminescence --photoconductivity --solar cell --optical communications fibers Why are some materials transparent and other not? CHAPTER 19: OPTICAL PROPERTIES

2 Incident light is either reflected, absorbed, or transmitted: Optical classification of materials: Adapted from Fig , Callister 6e. (Fig is by J. Telford, with specimen preparation by P.A. Lessing.) LIGHT INTERACTION WITH SOLIDS

3 Absorption of photons by electron transition: Metals have a fine succession of energy states. Near-surface electrons absorb visible light. Adapted from Fig. 21.4(a), Callister 6e. OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF METALS: ABSORPTION

4 Electron transition emits a photon. Reflectivity = I R /I o is between 0.90 and Reflected light is same frequency as incident. Metals appear reflective (shiny)! Adapted from Fig. 21.4(b), Callister 6e. OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF METALS: REFLECTION re-emitted photon from material surface

5 Absorption by electron transition occurs if h > E gap If E gap < 1.8eV, full absorption; color is black (Si, GaAs) If E gap > 3.1eV, no absorption; colorless (diamond) If E gap in between, partial absorption; material has a color. Adapted from Fig. 21.5(a), Callister 6e. SELECTED ABSORPTION: NONMETALS incident photon energy h

6 Color determined by sum of frequencies of --transmitted light, --re-emitted light from electron transitions. Ex: Cadmium Sulfide (CdS) -- E gap = 2.4eV, -- absorbs higher energy visible light (blue, violet), -- Red/yellow/orange is transmitted and gives it color. Ex: Ruby = Sapphire (Al 2 O 3 ) + (0.5 to 2) at% Cr 2 O 3 -- Sapphire is colorless (i.e., E gap > 3.1eV) -- adding Cr 2 O 3 : alters the band gap blue light is absorbed yellow/green is absorbed red is transmitted Result: Ruby is deep red in color. Adapted from Fig. 21.9, Callister 6e. (Fig adapted from "The Optical Properties of Materials" by A. Javan, Scientific American, 1967.) COLOR OF NONMETALS

7 Transmitted light distorts electron clouds. Result 1: Light is slower in a material vs vacuum. Index of refraction (n) = speed of light in a vacuum speed of light in a material Material Lead glass Silica glass Soda-lime glass Quartz Plexiglas Polypropylene n Adding large, heavy ions (e.g., lead can decrease the speed of light. --Light can be "bent" Result 2: Intensity of transmitted light decreases with distance traveled (thick pieces less transparent!) Selected values from Table 21.1, Callister 6e. TRANSMITTED LIGHT: REFRACTION

8 Process: Ex: fluorescent lamps Adapted from Fig. 21.5(a), Callister 6e. APPLICATION: LUMINESCENCE incident radiation emitted light

9 Description: Ex: Photodetector (Cadmium sulfide) APPLICATION: PHOTOCONDUCTIVITY

10 p-n junction: Operation: --incident photon produces hole-elec. pair. --typically 0.5V potential. --current increases w/light intensity. Solar powered weather station: polycrystalline Si Los Alamos High School weather station (photo courtesy P.M. Anderson) APPLICATION: SOLAR CELL

11 Design with stepped index of refraction (n): Design with parabolic index of refraction Parabolic = less broadening = improvement! Adapted from Fig , Callister 6e. (Fig adapted from S.R. Nagel, IEEE Communications Magazine, Vol. 25, No. 4, p. 34, 1987.) Adapted from Fig , Callister 6e. (Fig adapted from S.R. Nagel, IEEE Communications Magazine, Vol. 25, No. 4, p. 34, 1987.) APPLICATION: FIBER OPTICS

12 When light (radiation) shines on a material, it may be: --reflected, absorbed and/or transmitted. Optical classification: --transparent, translucent, opaque Metals: --fine succession of energy states causes absorption and reflection. Non-Metals: --may have full (E gap 3.1eV), or partial absorption (1.8eV < E gap = 3.1eV). --color is determined by light wavelengths that are transmitted or re-emitted from electron transitions. --color may be changed by adding impurities which change the band gap magnitude (e.g., Ruby) Refraction: --speed of transmitted light varies among materials.
