Abstract

Optical spectroscopy methods are powerful nondestructive analytical methods for investigating electronic and optical properties of materials. Due to unique properties of metal oxide nanofibers, optical methods can provide important information about fundamental properties of metal oxide nanofibers, influence of structural properties to the optical and electronic ones, and applications of metal oxide nanofibers. Optical methods involve different techniques, using light from UV-Vis-IR regions and involving different parts of the materials (free electrons, ions, etc.) into interaction with light.

This chapter is dedicated to the characterization of metal oxide nanofibers using diffuse reflectance, photoluminescence, and Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. General principles of these methods will be described. Calculation of the main fundamental parameters (band gap, defect levels, emission bands, etc.) will be discussed. Influence of structure parameters (such as nanofibers dimensions, chemical composition, dopants, etc.) on optical properties of metal oxide nanostructures will be demonstrated. Possible perspectives of applications of metal oxide nanofibers in optical devices will be shown.
