Study of Optical, Structural and Morphology Properties of Tin Oxide Nanoparticles by Pulse Laser Ablation and its Effect on Bacteria Staphylococcus aureus
...Show More Authors

     Tin oxide (Sn) nanoparticles were prepared by pulsed laser ablation (PLA) method at different laser energies (400-700mJ). (UV, XRD, AFM, SEM, EDS) methods were employed to determine the properties of nanomaterials. The optical properties showed that the energy gap decreased with increasing laser power; the structural properties showed the relationship between density and angle; Miller's coefficients for net angles were determined and the morphology properties showed the element's surface shape and surface roughness. Also, Tin oxide nanoparticles with added to Staphylococcus aureus bacteria isolated from the ear and cultured by striking method on nutrient agar to know the effect of tin oxide nanoparticles on the growth of this bacteria. The results showed that tin (Sn) oxide nanoparticles had a role in decreasing the growth of bacteria on cultured media using the laser energies of (400mJ, 500mJ and 600mJ), but at an energy of 700mJ a clear zone (no growth) of bacteria on cultured media was noted, indicating 100%  bacterial killing.

CdSe/ZnS Core/Shell for Luminescent Solar Concentrator
...Show More Authors

Fabrication and investigation of the properties of CdSe/ZnS core/shell for the luminescent solar concentrates (LSC) application is presented. An increase of the efficiency of a silicon solar cell was obtained by applying the LSC. The increase was a result of the optical properties of the semiconductor nanoparticles CdSe/ZnS core/shell that were deposited over the top surface of the silicon solar cell facing the illumination source (Halogen lamp). The gravity force was invested for the film deposition process.The optical properties of these nanoparticles were studied. The absorption spectra for the CdSe/ZnS core-shell were 270-600nm, i.e., located within the spectral response area of the examined solar cell. The energy gap values for CdSe
