Dana A. Tahir, Omed Gh. Abdullah, and Shuja-Aldeen B. Aziz
Department of Physics, College of Science, Sulaimani University
AbstractIn this work an attempt has been made to study the various dielectric
parameters of polystyrene film. The dielectric constant , dielectric loss and loss tangent have been determined in the frequency range (1-000)KHz at different temperatures. The frequency dependent conductivity was also measured to characterize the polymer. The complex impedance plot (cole-cole plot) was used to calculate the static dielectric constant , infinitely large frequency dielectric constant and relaxation times. Finally the results are analyzed in terms of different parameters.
Key words: polymer film, dielectric constant, dielectric loss, relaxation, activation energy
Optical and Electrical Properties of Polyvinyl-chloride (PVC) films
Omed Gh. Abdullah, Dana A. Tahir, and Shuja-Aldeen B. Aziz
Department of Physics, College of Science, Sulaimani University
AbstractThe optical properties of the polyvinyl-chloride thin films were studied which include their
absorbance, transmittance, reflectance spectra, band gap, and refractive index, before and after annealing at T=75oC for 24hrs. The films were found to exhibit high transmittance, low absorbance and low reflectance in the visible, and near infrared region up to 1100nm. However, the absorbance of the films was found to be high in the ultra violet region with peak around 306nm. The dielectric constant, dielectric loss, and ac conductivity of polyvinyl-chloride were obtained at different frequencies and temperatures. The experimental results show that e’ and e” decreased with increasing frequency, which indicates that the major contribution to the polarization comes from orientation polarization. The value of e’ increased with increasing temperature, which is due to great freedom of movement of the dipole molecular chains at high temperature.
Key words: thin film, optical properties, electrical properties, complex permittivity.

Physical Properties of Pure and Copper Oxide DopedPolystyrene Films
Omed Gh. Abdullah and Dana S. MuhammadDepartment of Physics, College of Science, University of Sulaimani - Iraq
Abstract
The UV/VIS optical absorption for difference compositions copper oxide doped polystyrene thin films were studied in the wavelength 200-1000 nm. It was found that the optical absorption is due to direct allowed transitions, and the energy gaps shows nonlinear behavior with copper oxide concentration, optical energy gap showed a decreasing trend with increased dopant concentration up to 10% of the dopant, for further increase in dopant concentration this value started increasing again due to segregation effects. The annealing of the samples at temperature 90oC for 4 hr, caused the decrease in energy gaps. The studies of the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric constants showed that they are also affected by copper oxide concentration.
Key words: optical properties, polymer composite, doping, complex dielectric constant.

Effect of Zirconia concentration on optical properties of Polystyrene films
Omed Gh. Abdullah and Dlear R. SaberDepartment of Physics, College of Science, University of Sulaimani - Iraq
AbstractOptical properties of prepared Polystyrene (PS) films with different filling levels of
Zirconia have been investigated in the visible and ultraviolent wavelength regions. It was found that the optical absorption is due to direct-allowed transitions, and the energy gaps decrease with increasing Zirconia content for all transitions, while the width of the tail localized states increase with increasing Zirconia content. The band gap of all films shows to be decrease after thermal treatment. The optical constants refractive index n, extinction coefficient K, have been also calculated. The refractive index increased in the composite samples as compared with the pure PS sample prepared by the same method.

Omed Gh. Abdullah and Sarkawt Abubakr HussenDepartment of Physics, College of Science, University of Sulaimani - Iraq
AbstractPolymer composite of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), Aluminum Iodide have been prepared by solution cast method for
different doping concentrations. The absorption of pure and doped films have been investigated in the visible and ultraviolent wavelength regions. It was found that the optical absorption is due to direct and indirect transitions, and the optical energy gaps values shifted to lower energies on Aluminum Iodide doping concentration for all transitions, while the band edge width of the tail localized states increase with increasing Aluminum Iodide concentration. The band gap of all films shows to be decrease after thermal treatment. The optical constants refractive index n, extinction coefficient K, the complex dielectric constant have been also calculated. The dielectric constant increased in the composite samples as compared with the pure PVA sample prepared by the same method.
Key words: polymer composite, optical properties, doping, complex dielectric constant.

Omed Gh. Abdullah, Gelas M. Jamal, Dana A. Tahir, and Salah Raza SaeedDepartment of Physics, College of Science, University of Sulaimani - Iraq
AbstractDielectric constant and conductivity of Polyester doped with carbon black are
investigated in the frequency range (0.5-1000) KHz and within the temperature range (28-80)oC. Dielectric permittivity and loss tangent are found to be decrease with increasing frequency and increase with increasing temperature. The ac conductivity is found to be frequency-independent for low frequency however vary with frequency as ws, beyond a critical value. The frequency exponential factor was estimated and it was found to vary between 0.63 and 0.77, indicating a dominant hopping process at low temperatures. From the temperature dependence of dc conductivity, the increase of activation energy was observed with carbon black concentrations.
Key words: ac conductivity, polyester, carbon black, dielectric constant.

The variation of the exponent 𝒔 with temperature gives information on the specific mechanism involved. The exponential factor 𝒔 was calculated from slope of Fig. at high frequency, and it was found to be 𝟎.𝟕𝟕, 𝟎.𝟕𝟓, 𝟎.𝟕𝟎, and 𝟎.𝟔𝟑 for the temperature (𝟐𝟔,𝟒𝟎,𝟔𝟎,𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝟖𝟎)𝒐𝑪 respectively; indicating that 𝒔 is weakly decreasing function of temperature. This could be attributed that at higher temperature, high mobility of free charges make them more frequency independent conductivity which as a result increases 𝒅𝒄 conductivity.

From the slope of parallel straight line with negative slope, the activation energy 𝑬𝒄 is calculated. The values of 𝑬𝒄 is essentially dependent of black carbon concentrations and of a value (𝟎.𝟏𝟏𝟔,𝟎.𝟏𝟕𝟔,𝟎.𝟐𝟕𝟖,𝟎.𝟑𝟏𝟗) 𝒆𝑽 for the ሺ𝟎,𝟔,𝟏𝟐,𝟏𝟖ሻ% CB, respectively. It was clear that activation energy value increases with increasing the CB content. The addition of CB to Polyester host enhances the electrical conduction of Polyester host due to the electronic and impurity contributions arising from the CB.

Conclusion
The main observation in this study worth to be mentioned relates to the relative value of electrical conductivity versus the carbon black contents; it was observed that even low amount of carbon black able to maximize the conductivity of the composite up to three orders of magnitude, we conclude that polyester carbon black composite is a good candidate and alternative way for obtaining conducting organic composites at low cost.
Optical absorption of polyvinyl alcohol films doped with Nickel Chloride
Omed Gh. Abdullah, and Dlear R. SaberDepartment of Physics, College of Science, University of Sulaimani - Iraq
AbstractFilms of pure and doped Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with different concentration of Nickel
Chloride (NiCl2) were prepared using the casting technique, in order to investigate effect of NiCl2 additions on the optical properties of PVA host. The dispersion studies of pure PVA film and PVA films doped with NiCl2 were investigated using complex refractive index in the wavelength range 190-1100 nm. The absorption spectral analysis showed that the optical band was from the direct and indirect allowed optical transitions. The optical band gap of the films decreases with increasing NiCl2 contents, while the Urbach energy called the width of localized states in the optical band gap decreases from 0.7414 to 0.1891 eV. Consequently, the optical constants and optical band gap of the samples change with the annealing temperatures.
Key words: absorbance, PVA, dopand, optical band gap.

Two conditions to become conductive:1-The first condition for this is that the polymer consists of
alternating single and double bonds, called conjugated double bonds.
In conjugation, the bonds between the carbon atoms are alternately single and double. Every bond contains a localised “sigma” (σ) bond which forms a strong chemical bond. In addition, every double bond also contains a less strongly localised “pi” (π) bond which is weaker.
2-The second condition is that the plastic has to be disturbed - either by removing electrons from (oxidation), or inserting them into (reduction), the material. The process is known as
Doping. There are two types of doping:
1-oxidation with halogen (or p-doping).
2- Reduction with alkali metal (called n-doping).

Electrical characterization of polyvinyl alcohol films doped with sodium iodide
Omed Gh. AbdullahDepartment of Physics, College of Science, University of Sulaimani - Iraq
AbstractPolyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films doped with sodium iodide up to (30wt%) were prepared in
order to investigate the effect of sodium iodide additions on the electrical properties of PVA host. The dielectric permittivity, dielectric loss, electric modulus and ac conductivity were studied in the frequency range 20KHZ-1MHz and in temperature range 300-350 K. Upon increasing the contents of sodium iodide an increase in the dielectric permittivity, dielectric loss and ac conductivity of PVA host are observed. The ac conductivity is found to obey power law Bws. The frequency exponential factor s was estimated and it was found to vary between 0.92 and 0.34, dependence on sodium iodide contents. From the temperature dependence of ac conductivity, the increase of activation energy was observed with dopant concentration.
Key words: ac conductivity, electric modulus, complex dielectric constants, doping.
