Resumo
A incorporação de nanopartı́culas em matrizes hı́bridas produz materiais com grande potencial para aplicações em diversas áreas de estudo. Na óptica, sua funcionalidade surge quando elétrons confinados em estruturas tridimensionais nanométricas são excitados. Em princı́pio, esses materiais exibem nı́vel de energia discreto, apresentando picos estreitos no espectro de absorção. Tal comportamento torna-os atrativos para óptica não-linear e aplicações eletro-ópticas. Neste trabalho, o processo sol-gel foi utilizado para a sı́ntese de nanocompósitos contendo CuCl ou CuBr. Cu2O, HBr e HCl foram utilizados como precursores para os CuBr e CuCl, e a matriz Orgânica/Sı́lica foi preparada a partir dos alcóxidos 3-glicidoxipropiltrimetoxisilano (GPTS) e Tetraetilortosilicato (TEOS). As amostras foram preparadas na forma de filmes finos depositados sobre lâminas de vidro, utilizando a técnica Dip-Coating. Após a secagem, as amostras foram tratadas num forno convencional e/ou expostas à radiação UV utilizando uma luz negra comercial. A espectroscopia de absorção UV-VIS permitiu identificar estreitas bandas de absorção, bem como sua variação. O espectro de absorção (UV-VIS) registrou à temperatura ambiente picos em 418 e 399 nm para as nanopartı́culas de CuBr e a 376 e 380 nm para as nanopartı́culas CuCl, correspondente aos excitons Z1,2 e Z3 respectivamente. Comportamento semelhante foi relatado na literatura.
The incorporation of nanoparticles in hybrid matrices has produced materials with great potential for applications in many fields of study. In optics, its functionality arises when electrons confined in nanometric three-dimensional structures are excited. At first, these materials exhibit discrete energy level, with sharp peaks in the absorption spectrum. Such behavior makes them attractive to non-linear optical and electro-optical applications. In this work, the sol-gel process was used for the synthesis of nanocomposite containing CuCl or CuBr. These complexes decompose during thermal or ultraviolet treatment, and form copper halide nanoparticles. Cu2O, HCl and HBr were used as precursors for the CuBr and CuCl, and the organic matrix/silica was prepared from alkoxides of 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTS) and tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS). The samples were made in the form of thin films deposited on glass slides using the dip-coating technique. After drying, they were treated in a conventional oven and/or exposed to UV radiation using a commercial black light. The UV-VIS absorption spectrum allowed to identify narrow absorption bands, such as its variation. The absorption spectrum (UV-Vis) recorded at room temperature showed peaks at 418 and 399 nm CuBr nanoparticles and 376 and 380 to CuCl nanoparticles corresponding to the excitons Z1,2 and Z3 respectively. Similar behavior has been reported in the literature.
