| dc.description.abstract | In this study, we investigated the pyro-optic properties of Antimony Sulfo-Iodide (SbSI)
film. Using the Nicolet 6700 FT-IR Spectrometer, absorbance spectra were obtained for
the SbSI film. Repeated spectra were obtained over time as the SbSI film was subjected
to temperature ranging of 9 °C - 24 °C at 1 °C increment. From these absorbance spectra,
transmittance spectra were then obtained. The transmittance is determined to be
dependent on temperature which predicts that SbSI films can be used as an infrared
detector. The pyro-optic coefficient is estimated to be around 7.08 xlO-4 °C'1 below the
Curie temperature and 0.12 °C’1 above the Curie temperature. The ferroelectric property
of a crystallographic phase change is also observed, as SbSI is a ferroelectric material. | |
