Tunable nonlinear optical enhancement of α-FeOOH nanorods/RGO composites

High-quality α-FeOOH nanorods/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) composites were prepared by a facile hydrothermal method. Crystal structure and optical properties of the composites were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, FT-IR, Raman, UV–vis, PL. These results of characterization showed that the composites...
