Combining high conductivity with complete optical transparency: A band structure approach
– A comparison of the structural, optical and electronic properties of the recently discovered transparent conducting oxide (TCO), nanoporous Ca12Al14O33, with those of the conventional TCOs (such as Sc-doped CdO) indicates that this material belongs conceptually to a new class of transparent conductors. For this class of materials, we formulate criteria for the successful combination of high e...
متن کاملCombining Optical Transparency with Electrical Conductivity: Challenges and Prospects
Transparent conductors are neither 100% optically transparent nor metallically conductive. From the band structure point of view, the combination of the two properties in the same material is contradictory: a transparent material is an insulator which possesses completely filled valence and empty conduction bands; whereas metallic conductivity appears when the Fermi level lies within a band wit...
متن کاملBand Structure and Terahertz Optical Conductivity of Transition Metal Oxides: Theory and Application to CaRuO(3).
Density functional plus dynamical mean field calculations are used to show that in transition metal oxides, rotational and tilting (GdFeO(3)-type) distortions of the ideal cubic perovskite structure produce a multiplicity of low-energy optical transitions which affect the conductivity down to frequencies of the order of 1 or 2 mV (terahertz regime), mimicking non-Fermi-liquid effects even in sy...
متن کاملTransparency near a photonic band edge
The study of quantum and nonlinear optical phenomena in atoms (impurities) embedded in photonic band gap (PBG) materials has attracted much attention recently. Many interesting effects have been predicted when radiative transitions of the atoms are near-resonant with the edge of a PBG. As examples we mention the localization of light and the formation of ‘photon-atom bound states’ [1–3], suppre...
متن کاملAll-Optical Reconstruction of Crystal Band Structure.
The band structure of matter determines its properties. In solids, it is typically mapped with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, in which the momentum and the energy of incoherent electrons are independently measured. Sometimes, however, photoelectrons are difficult or impossible to detect. Here we demonstrate an all-optical technique to reconstruct momentum-dependent band gaps by expl...
