Bromoindium phthalocyanine in thin film form was prepared by electron beam gun evaporation technique, using pre-cleaned polyborosilicate glass as substrate. 2D AFM image confirms that the surface of BrinPc thin film is granular with a grain size of 40-60 nm. 3D AEM image confirms that surface is homogeneous and its RMS roughness is 4.9 nm. The UV-VIS absorption spectrum showed two wellknown absorption bands of the phthalocyanines, B and Q bands and characteristics Davydov splitting were observed. The optical transition determined to be direct allowed and the value of optical band gap was obtained. The value of Urbach energy was calculated. To investigation in the effect of thermal annealing on optical properties of BrinPc thin films, we annealed some thin films at 473 and 603 K for 1 h. As the result of thermal annealing we observed another absorption peak, named N-band, in absorption spectrum. A red shift observed in the position of B-band and Q-band peaks. There was not changing in optical transition mechanism The value of optical band gap decreased and the Urbach energy increased as the result of thermal annealing. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.
