Production and characterization of indium oxide and indium nitride

Nitrogen-rich indium nitride

Indium oxide nanostructures

In this report we review the growth of indium oxide (In2O3) nanostructures, including octahedral nanocrystals (NCs), nanobelts (NBs), nanosheets (NSs), and nanowires (NWs), by hot-wall chemical vapor deposition (HW-CVD). This system is highly controllable, allowing the user to easily access different growth regimes – each corresponding to the growth of a different nanostructure – by changing gr...

Two- and 13-week inhalation toxicities of indium-tin oxide and indium oxide in rats.

OBJECTIVES Two- and 13-week inhalation toxicities of indium-tin oxide (ITO) and indium oxide (IO) were characterized for risk assessments of workers exposed to ITO. METHODS F344 rats of both sexes were exposed by inhalation to ITO or IO aerosol for 6 h/day, 5 day/wk for 2 wk at 0, 0.1, 1, 10 or 100 mg/m(3) or 13 wk at 0, 0.1 or 1 mg/m(3). An aerosol generator and inhalation exposure system wa...

Fabrication and characterization of an indium tin oxide acoustoelectric hydrophone

Clinical ultrasound (US) imaging and therapy require a precise knowledge of the intensity distribution of the acoustic field. Although piezoelectric hydrophones are most common, these devices are limited in terms of, for example, type of materials, cost, and performance at high frequency and pressure. As an alternative to conventional acoustic detectors, we describe acoustoelectric hydrophones,...

Indium Tin Oxide-Polyaniline Biosensor: Fabrication and Characterization

In this study, a novel indium tin oxide (ITO)-polyaniline (Pani) biosensor was designed, fabricated, and characterized. Initial testing was conducted for the detection of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV). The biosensor design was based upon the specific nature of antibodies to capture the target virus, and the conductive properties of self-doped Pani to translate the antibody-antigen binding ...
