Caracterização estrutural, térmica e óptica da liga nanoestruturada snse2 produzida por Mechanical alloying

Abstract

The nanostructured SnSe2 alloy was produced by Mechanical Alloying technique and their structural, thermal and optical properties were investigated by x-ray diffraction (XRD) combined with Rietveld Method (RM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), absorbance measurements and photoacoustic absorption spectroscopy (PAS). After characterized in the as milled conditions, the sample was annealed at 450˚C in order to evaluate the influence of the interfacial component in their physical properties. The XRD measurements allowed structurally characterize the samples, as well quantify the volume fractions occupied by crystalline and interfacial components. The DSC measurements showed that the melting process of SnSe2 phase, occurs in two-step for both samples. The UV–Vis absorption spectrum showed direct allowed transitions for milled and annealed samples, with band gap of 1.02 eV and 1.48 eV, respectively. Moreover, electronic transition of type direct forbidden was found in the sample annealed with optical band gap of 0.94 eV. PAS measurements provided the thermal diffusivity (𝛼𝑠) for both samples. A reduction of 45% in the thermal diffusivity value of milled sample was observed, when compared with the annealed sample.
