<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Bismuth oxide thin film was deposited by chemical bath deposition (CBD) technique onto a glass substrate. The grain size (D), dislocation density (δ) and number of crystallites per unit area (N), i.e. structural properties of the thin film were determined as 16 nm, 39.06× 10–4 line/nm2, 31.25 × 10–3 1/nm2, respectively. Optical transmittance properties of the thin film were investigated by using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The optical band gap (Eg) for direct transitions, optical transmission (T %), reflectivity (R %), absorption, refractive index (nr), extinction coefficient (k), dielectric constant (∊) of the thin film were found to be 3.77 eV, 25.23 %, 32.25 %, 0.59, 3.62, 0.04 and 2.80, respectively.
