Lithium (Li)-assisted indium oxide (In2O3) thin films with ordered structures were prepared on solution-processed zirconium oxide (ZrO2) gate dielectrics by spin-casting and thermally annealing hydrated indium nitrate solutions with different Li nitrate loadings. It was found that the Li-assisted In precursor films on ZrO2 dielectrics could form crystalline structures even at processing tempera...

Stable suspensions of eutectic gallium indium (EGaIn) liquid metal nanoparticles form by probe-sonicating the metal in an aqueous solution. Positively-charged molecular or macromolecular surfactants in the solution, such as cetrimonium bromide or lysozyme, respectively, stabilize the suspension by interacting with the negative charges of the surface oxide that forms on the metal. The liquid met...

OBJECTIVES Inhalation toxicities of indium-tin oxide (ITO) and indium oxide (IO) in mice were characterized in comparison with those previously reported in rats. METHODS B6C3F(1) mice 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, 0.1or 1 mg/m(3). RESULTS ITO and IO particles were deposited in the l...

We report the realization and characterization of a tunable, two-dimensional Talbot array illuminator for mid-infrared (MIR) wavelengths. A phase array, prepared by deposing tindoped indium oxide electrodes on a square-lattice-geometry poled LiNbO3 sample, is

Realization of semiconductor materials at the two-dimensional (2D) limit can elicit exceptional and diversified performance exercising transformative influence on modern technology. We report experimental evidence for formation conceptually new 2D indium oxide (InO) its material characteristics. The InO was harvested through targeted intercalation (In) atoms deposition kinetics graphene/SiC int...

Optically-based lab-on-a-chip systems have the distinct advantage of being dynamically controlled in real time, providing reconfigurable operations that can be tuned to perform a variety of tasks. This manuscript demonstrates the concentration of liquid-suspended microparticles using a focused near-infrared laser (980 nm) and a parallel-plate electrode system. The parallel-plate electrodes cons...

A low level tin doped indium oxide, ITO, (ca. 10 w % SnO2) thin films were prepared on glass substrate by electron beam technique. Deposited films with deposition rate of 0.1–0.25 nm s were annealed at different temperatures from 250 to 550 °C in air. The thin films were characterized using low and high angle X-ray diffraction and UV-visible spectroscopy. The lattice constant and the grain size...

Quasi oxygen-deficient indium tin oxide nanoparticles (ITO NPs) were prepared by photoinduced chlorine doping, and exhibited much enhanced electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline media, as compared with pristine ITO.

We present a facile micropatterning method that is based on the electrochemically induced deposition of carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes on an indium tin oxide electrode without using surfactants or polymers.
