Prediction of the Bandgap of a Core-Shell Microsphere via Light Intensity Fluctuations

الملخص EN

It has been experimentally observed that in the case of microspheres irradiated by light, the absorption wavelength shift occurs, known as the blueshift, with changing shell materials (i.e., by decreasing the refractive index of the shell).

In the present investigation, we want to demonstrate it numerically by using the boundary element method.

The material used for the simulation is a core-shell (SiO2 and another material of a larger refractive index) microsphere and it is irradiated by unpolarized monochromatic light wave.

This paper intends to demonstrate that it is possible to predict the bandgap of a core-shell microsphere resulting from two different bandgap materials and that the numerical simulation employed produces the blueshift.
