چکیده

Wide bandgap conductors such as In₂O₃ and ZnO are used as transparent conducting oxides (TCOs). To date, TCOs are realized using post transition metal cations with largely spread s-orbitals such as In³⁺, Sn⁴⁺, Zn²⁺ and Cd²⁺. On the other hand, no good electronic conductor has been realized in oxides of Al, Si and Ge. Here we report the conversion of an oxide of Ge into a good electronic conductor by employing the concept of superdegeneracy. We find that cubic SrGeO₃, synthesized under high pressure, displays a direct bandgap of 3.5 eV, a carrier mobility of 12 cm²(Vs)⁻¹, and conductivities of 3 Scm⁻¹ (DC) and 400 Scm⁻¹ (optical conductivity). This is the first Ge-based electronic conductive oxide, and expands the family of TCOs from ionic oxides to covalent oxides.

Upconversion luminescence in Er-doped germanate-oxyfluoride and tellurium-germanate-oxyfluoride transparent glass-ceramics

Upconversion luminescence has been studied for Er in a germanate-oxyfluoride and a tellurium-germanate-oxyfluoride transparent glass-ceramic using 800 nm excitation. Significantly increased upconversion luminescence was observed from transparent glass-ceramics compared with that from their corresponding as-prepared glasses. In addition to a strong green emission centered at 545 nm from S3/2 sta...

2.A Transparent Conductive Coating of KDP Using Ion- Assisted Deposition

Several types of electro-optic devices require electrodes that are both optically transparent and electrically conductive. Examples of such devices useful for inertial fusion lasers are given in Table 43.1. Some devices, such as the longitudinal Pockels cell, require application of a transparent electrode to a thermally sensitive substrate of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP). The applied co...

Self-assembled large scale metal alloy grid patterns as flexible transparent conductive layers

The development of scalable synthesis techniques for optically transparent, electrically conductive coatings is in great demand due to the constantly increasing market price and limited resources of indium for indium tin oxide (ITO) materials currently applied in most of the optoelectronic devices. This work pioneers the scalable synthesis of transparent conductive films (TCFs) by exploiting th...

Hydrogen-doped indium oxide/indium tin oxide bilayers for high-efficiency silicon heterojunction solar cells

The front transparent conductive oxide layer is a source of significant optical and electrical losses in silicon heterojunction solar cells because of the trade-off between free-carrier absorption and sheet resistance. We demonstrate that hydrogen-doped indium oxide (IO:H), which has an electron mobility of over 100 cm/V s, reduces these losses compared to traditional, low-mobility transparent ...

Solution-Processed Flexible Transparent Conductors Composed of Silver Nanowire Networks Embedded in Indium Tin Oxide Nanoparticle Matrices

Although silver nanowire meshes have already demonstrated sheet resistance and optical transmittance comparable to those of sputter-deposited indium tin oxide thin films, other critical issues including surface morphology, mechanical adhesion and flexibility have to be addressed before widely employing silver nanowire networks as transparent conductors in optoelectronic devices. Here, we demons...
