That is, the fraction of light formerly lost to oblique scatter in diffuse reflectance from a mechanically polished surface is converted to specular reflectance after BIB ion milling. Thus the light leaves the surface at a near normal angle and returns to the detector, resulting in increased OM reflectance.
Thus, H 2 should originate from the oxidation of Zn 0 by OH groups to yield supported ZnO x. In situ DRIFTS (diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy) measurements prove that OH ...

The diffuse reflectance spectroscopy was performed in order to investigate the optical behavior of the prepared ZnO on BaCO 3 fibers at different weight percentages as shown in Fig. 4. The absorption edge of the ZnO–BaCO 3 fibers is blue-shifted compared to the BaCO 3 fibers. To estimate the optical band gap, the maximum of the first and ...
The low diffuse reflection is likely to be caused by non-uniform deposited thin films. This means that parts of the diffuse transmitted light that reaches the glass back end will be reflected back into the glass instead of being transmitted through it, similar to a conventional light trapping and back-reflecting cover glass structure ( Deubener ...
