- Abstract
In our research, we investigated the optical properties of Graphene Oxide (GO) films functionalized with N,N-Dimethyl-N-octadecyl(3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilyl chloride (DMOAP) using Variable Angle Spectroscopic Ellipsometry (VASE). We found that after the functionalization process, there was a notable increase in the thickness of the GO films. Additionally, there were observable changes in the Lorentz oscillator parameters, signaling modifications in the electronic transitions and structural properties of the films. Our results indicate that the functionalization with DMOAP not only impacts the electronic conjugation within the GO structures but also enhances the optical conductivity of the films, which is a finding of significant importance for potential applications in electronics, photonics, and materials science.
