Transparent conducting oxides (TCO) offer the uncommon functional combination of being both transparent and electrically conductive. For this reason, study is concerned with preparation triple heterojunction consisting magnesium oxide, alumina, ITO using a pulsed laser deposition method intensity 3 J. Alumina bulk pellets in propanol were irradiated (Nd:YAG) at wavelength 1064 nm. Laser ablatio...

The analysis of the TEM images of indium tin oxide (ITO) clusters in ink solutions deposited from ink dispersions reveals that their geometry arises from a diffusion limited cluster aggregation (DLCA) process. We model films of ITO clusters as built through deposition of DLCA clusters made of primary spherical nanoparticles of 13 nm in diameter. The deposition is then followed by a further comp...

indium tin oxide (ito) thin films were deposited on glass substrates by rf sputtering using an ito ceramic target (in2o3-sno2, 90-10 wt. %). after deposition, samples were annealed at different temperatures in vacuum furnace. the post vacuum annealing effects on the structural, optical and electrical properties of ito films were investigated. polycrystalline ito films have been analyzed in wide...

We present a new digitally controlled, optically induced electrochemical deposition (OED) method for fabricating silver nanostructures. Projected light patterns were used to induce an electrochemical reaction in a specialized sandwich-like microfluidic device composed of one indium tin oxide (ITO) glass electrode and an optically sensitive-layer-covered ITO electrode. Silver polyhedral nanopart...

A comparative study of the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect of the spherical gold nanoparticles (NPs) and highly uniform and oriented gold nanotriangles (NTs), anchored on indium tin oxide (ITO) coated conducting glass surfaces is reported. Contact and non-contact mode atomic force microscopic (AFM) analyses confirmed that all the triangles observed are equilateral and uniformly ...

A non-invasive method for detecting glucose is pursued by millions of diabetic patients to improve their personal management of blood glucose. In this work, a novel CuO nanoparticles (NPs) decorated polycaprolactone@polypyrrole fibers modified indium-tin oxide (denoted as CuO/PCL@PPy/ITO) electrode has been fabricated by electrospinning combined with the electrodeposition method for non-enzymat...

A plasmonic metasurface with an electrically tunable optical response that operates at strikingly low modulation voltages is experimentally demonstrated. The fabricated metasurface shows up to 30% relative change in reflectance in the visible spectral range upon application of 5 mV and 78% absolute change in reflectance upon application of 100 mV of bias. The designed metasurface consists of na...

N-type semiconductor indium tin oxide (ITO) nanoparticles are used to effectively suppress the fluorescence blinking of single near-infrared-emitting CdSeTe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs), where the ITO could block the electron transfer from excited QDs to trap states and facilitate more rapid regeneration of neutral QDs by back electron transfer. The average blinking rate of QDs is signific...

A two-fold active control of the plasmonic resonance of randomly distributed gold nanoparticles (GNPs) has been achieved. GNPs have been immobilized on an Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) coated glass substrate and then covered with a liquid crystalline compound. The system has been investigated by means of atomic force and scanning electron microscopy, revealing the presence of isolated and well distrib...
