In an effortlessly way, layers of manganese dioxide (MnO2) prepared at room temperature by chemical bath deposition. The thermal treatment were investigated to obtain the best control over microstructure and optical properties of manganese oxides. Determinations show that the layers structure is σ-MnO2 at room temperature after annealing transformed to Ramsdellite, Pyrolusite, and Manganite structures. From the transmittance spectra of the layers, the optical band gap obtained about 3.75 eV for the as-deposited layer, while different band gap after the thermal treatment depending on the annealing temperature. The results show annealing temperature affects optical factors similar to extinction coefficient, refractive index, and dielectric constant. Hope these finding will be useful in the future development of environmental friendly manganese oxide-based optical layers systems.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
