Effects of static magnetic field on dye extracted from Anchusa-Italica through optimization the optoelectronic properties

The dye extracted from the plant is already well used in optoelectronic applications for its easy and safe handling. This study is to demonstrate the effect of magnetized distilled water on dye extracted from Anchusa-Italica flowers. The results of its optoelectronic behavior reveal that the use of magnetized water in the extraction process results in different and better properties than processes in which ordinary water was used. The structural analysis of Anchusa-Italica dye thin-film was performed using the Fourier-transform infrared technique (FT-IR). The optical responses, such as the absorption coefficient, absorption spectra, both standard and refractive indices, and electronic properties (optical energy gap) were studied using Ultraviolet-Visible transmittance spectra range 300–900 nm. The calculated energy band gap of the dye extracted using magnetized water was decreased from 3.23 to 2.35 eV and turned into the preferred direct band gap to make a useful contribution to optical sources. The optical absorption spectra of the dye extracted using magnetized water appear to have a better efficiency compared to that extracted with ordinary water. A significant evolution in the absorption coefficient was obtained by employing magnetized water to extract the dye. The magnetized extraction process also modified the electronic transmission values (indirect to direct). The effect of magnetized water on the resonance mode and transparent indication was deduced by studying the complex refractive index. An increase appeared in the spectrum of the absorption index at a wavelength of 570 nm, whereas a small attenuation coefficient was observed as well. The important effects of magnetized dye extraction will highly benefit the field of optoelectronic applications.
