Effect of Mg doping on the optical properties of nanostructures CdO Thin film

Abstract

Abstract The performance of first principles computations of nanostructured CdO and Cdo:Mg grown by spray pyrolysis method (SPM) was studied, using density functional theory (DFT)). The structural and optical behaviour with XRD and ultraviolet visible spectroscopy. DFT displayed that Cd32O32 cluster and doped magnesium have cubic with rock salt structures. The optical bandgap of nanostructure films were obtained, while theoretically calculated for Mg-doped CdO cubic structures. The optical data displayed that the magnesium doped increase optical energy gap. Moreover, Optical results displayed that reflectivity of the nanostructure films varied from (400–900 nm) range with doping. While experimental transmittance was increased about 55% for 4% and decreased to 48% for 8% concentrations.
