A Faculty Member in the Department of Physics Publishes a Scientific Paper in Optical and Quantum Electronics

Dr. (Abdullah Mahmoud Hussein), a faculty member in the Department of Physics at the College of Education for Pure Sciences – University of Samarra, has published a peer-reviewed scientific paper in the journal Optical and Quantum Electronics, published by the international publisher Springer Nature and indexed in Scopus within the second quartile (Q2).

The paper is titled:
“Electrospun Fe–Mn/PAN composite nanofibers for enhanced UV photodetection: structural and bandgap modulation”

The research focuses on the development of composite nanofibers based on the polymer (PAN) reinforced with transition elements (iron and manganese), aiming to improve the performance of photodetectors in the ultraviolet (UV) range. It also addresses the modulation of electronic structure and optical properties using electrospinning techniques, with comprehensive analysis conducted through X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV–Vis spectroscopy, in addition to electrical measurements.

The results demonstrated a significant improvement in the crystalline structure and a reduction in the bandgap, leading to enhanced photoresponse and increased sensing efficiency. This work supports the field of nanomaterials and their applications in optical electronics, particularly in the design of high-performance photodetectors.
