Limitations of In2O3 as a transparent conducting oxide

Limitations of In2O3 as a transparent conducting oxide

Sn-doped In2O3 or ITO is the most widely used transparent conducting oxide. We use first-principles calculations to investigate the limitations to its transparency due to free-carrier absorption mediated by phonons or charged defects. We find that the main contribution to the phonon-assisted indirect absorption is due to emission (as opposed …
