Available analysis features

  • Reflectance

    Review measured reflectance spectra before using R in optical-constant calculations.

    Reflectance review uses measured R channels when present; it does not infer missing reflectance curves from unrelated columns.

  • Absorption Coefficient

    Use absorbance, transmittance, reflectance, and thickness settings to calculate alpha candidates and compare absorption strength.

    Alpha candidates depend on the selected source formula, thickness setting, and whether absorbance, transmittance, or reflectance channels are available.

  • Extinction Coefficient

    Combine alpha and wavelength values to calculate dimensionless k and review optical attenuation trends.

    Extinction coefficient k is derived from alpha and wavelength, so review alpha provenance before treating k as a final optical constant.

  • Refractive Index

    Combine measured reflectance and k candidates to approximate n where both inputs are available.

    Refractive-index candidates require measured reflectance and k inputs; missing or inferred channels should be reviewed before reporting.

  • Bandgap

    Build a Tauc plot from recognized optical signal channels and review Eg, fit range, fit points, and fit quality.

    Bandgap values depend on transition model, fit-window selection, optical source channel, and fit quality evidence.

  • Urbach Energy

    Review the band-edge absorption tail in semilog form to estimate Urbach-energy candidates and disorder trends.

    Urbach-energy candidates are sensitive to the selected absorption-tail range and should be reviewed with R2 and fit-point evidence.

What this tool can review

  • Spectrum visualization

    Load UV-Vis wavelength and signal data and convert it into a graph for quick spectrum review.

  • Signal channel recognition

    Preserve recognized optical channels such as absorbance, transmittance, reflectance, or alpha-style values when they are available in the source file.

  • Optical constants

    Review measured reflectance, absorption coefficient, extinction coefficient k, and refractive index n when the source file and settings provide the required inputs.

  • Bandgap

    Build a Tauc plot, inspect the selected fit range, and review Eg, R2, fit-point count, and fit-quality evidence.

  • Urbach Energy

    Inspect the semilog absorption-tail region and review Urbach-energy candidates with fit evidence.

Typical use cases

  • Review UV-Vis spectra before figure preparation or optical-property checks.
  • Compare wavelength-signal curves from absorbance, transmittance, reflectance, or alpha-style channels when those channels are present in the file.
  • Calculate absorption coefficient, extinction coefficient, and refractive-index candidates when the required optical inputs are available.
  • Build Tauc plots for Bandgap review and inspect the fit range used for the result.
  • Review Urbach-energy candidates from the band-edge absorption tail.
  • Download graph images, converted data, and summary results from the browser-based workspace.

FAQ

What happens after I drop a UV-Vis file?

The measurement file is converted into a wavelength versus signal graph. From there, the workspace helps you review reflectance, absorption coefficient, extinction coefficient, refractive index, Bandgap, Urbach Energy, and source-data evidence.

Can I review optical constants and bandgap from UV-Vis data?

Yes. Where the required measured channels and settings exist, UV-Vis can review R, alpha, k, n, Eg, fit range, fit points, R2, fit quality, and Urbach-energy evidence.

How are my measurement files handled?

Files uploaded to this analysis tool are processed in the current browser session for graph conversion and analysis. The tool does not send files outside or save them without user permission.

Supported workflow

  • Graph Conversion turns UV-Vis measurement files into wavelength-signal views for spectrum review.
  • Basic Graph supports quick comparison of uploaded UV-Vis curves and their recognized signal labels.
  • Reflectance reviews measured R channels without inferring missing reflectance curves.
  • Absorption Coefficient, Extinction Coefficient, and Refractive Index use available optical channels and user settings such as thickness and source formula.
  • Bandgap builds a Tauc plot from recognized optical signal channels and exposes Eg, fit range, fit points, R2, and fit-quality evidence.
  • Urbach Energy reviews the band-edge absorption tail and fit evidence for disorder-trend screening.
