Li3+ swift heavy ion irradiation with 50 MeV kinetic energy influencing distinct properties and antifungal activity of Mn/ZnO thin films
Source abstract
Abstract
Nanocrystalline thin films of Mn-substituted ZnO were prepared on a glass substrate at concentrations of 5% and 10%. Swift heavy ions (SHI) with a 50 MeV kinetic energy of Li3+ion beam with a fluence of 1 × 1013ions cm−2were used to irradiate the films. The surface has been successfully modified after the irradiation. We investigated the structural, optical, morphological, photoluminescence, and antifungal activity of pure and Mn-doped ZnO thin films. The hexagonal structure of pure ZnO thin films explains the absence of any additional peaks. Photoluminescence spectra show a weak deep emission at about 540 nm and a strong near-band-edge emission at about 509 nm. UV–Vis absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectra showed a red shift for the absorption edge and the near-band-edge emissions, respectively, whereas the SHI irradiation quenched the defect-related visible emission in the PL spectra. Using Penicillium Citrinum fungus, the antifungal activity was inhibited.Graphical abstract
