    Schematic steps of the sample preparation process.
    Experimental setup of Z-scan technique. NDF, natural density filter; L, lens; SF, spatial filter; S, sample; A, aperture.
    (a) X-ray diffraction patterns of Bi2S3−xSex/PMMA nanocomposite films at different compositions, x=0, 0.2, 0.4, and 1. (b) The peak intensity as a function of x composition.
    SEM images of Bi2S3−xSex/PMMA nanocomposite films at four different compositions, x=0, 0.2, 0.4, and 1.
    EDX spectrum of Bi2S3−xSex/PMMA nanocomposite films for composition (a) x=0 and (b) x=0.4.
    Optical absorption spectra of Bi2S3−xSex/PMMA nanocomposite films with different compositions x of 0, 0.2, 0.4, and 1. The inset is the plot of (αhυ)2 as a function of hυ.
    (I) Closed-aperture and (II) open-aperture Z-scan results at different input powers of the Bi2S3−xSex/PMMA nanocomposite films with different compositions: (a) 0, (b) 0.2, (c) 0.4, and (d) 1. The solid lines are theoretical fitting.
