    Abstract: This study aims to investigate the effect of N719 and Z907 dyes mixture (1:1 v/v ratio) on the DSSCs fabricated successfully using a simple procedure without the need for any complicated facilities. The XRD analysis of the TiO2 layer confirmed that it has a polycrystalline structure belonging to anatase phase with crystallite size of 12.4 nm. UV-Vi... Show More

    Abstract: The nonlinear optical properties of Orange G dye in water at different concentrations and in a solid polymer film have been investigated using a single-beam z-scan technique. Experiments were performed using continuous wave (CW) laser operating at 532 nm wavelength as a source of excitation. Effect of different incident intensities on the nonlinear... Show More
