Abstract We describe a novel solid state crystallisation method for optimising thin film transparent conductive oxide when deposited on flexible polymer substrates. The is based ultra-short non-thermal laser sintering of indium tin (ITO) films. In this study, we used commercial ITO films polyethylene terephthalate substrate with relatively low melting temperature compared glass. demonstrate the...

The present work describes in detail the photocatalytic properties of controlled titanium doped indium tin oxide (Ti/TiO2-ITO) composite thin films prepared by DC magnetron sputtering and their applicability to developing a bio-medical lung assistive device. The catalytic films of various thicknesses (namely, C1, C2, C3 and C4) were characterized using surface imaging (SEM), X-ray analyses (XRD...

Introduction Indium tin oxide (ITO) is a commonly used transparent conducting oxide (TCO) with applications as a transparent electrode for flat panel displays [1], photovoltaic devices [2] and as an infrared mirror in energy saving windows [3]. ITO offers the best combination of electrical conductivity and visible light transmission with excellent environmental stability, reproducibility and su...

Cadmium telluride (CdTe) nanoparticles were deposited on glass substrates coated by indium tin oxide (ITO) and fluorine doped (FTO) as transparent conducting films at 200 °C under pressure of 2×10-5 mbar. The thickness the prepared was about nm. structure, optical, electrical, morphological properties layers analyzed x-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, current-vo...

Preparation of defect-free and well-controlled solution-processed crystalline thin films is highly desirable for emerging technologies, such as perovskite solar cells. In this work, using PbI2 as a model solution with a vast variety of applications, we demonstrate that the excitation of a liquid thin film by imposed ultrasonic vibration on the film substrate significantly affects the nucleation...

Amorphous Tungsten Oxide (alpha-WO3) film is one of the most studied electrochromic (EC) materials. It can be used as EC layer in EC devices. Electrochromism can be described as reversible change optical properties, by an applied external voltage. Here alpha-WO3 thin films were deposited onto glass and ITO substrates by reactive DC magnetron sputtering for EC application. Growth temperature, ox...

Series of co-sputtered silver-indium tin oxide (Ag-ITO) films are systematically fabricated. By tuning the atomic ratio of silver, composite films are manifested to have different microstructures with limited silver amount (<3 at.%). Two stages for film morphology changing are proposed to describe different status and growth mechanisms. The introduction of silver improves the preferred orientat...

Co–Al-layered double hydroxides (LDHs) thin films were prepared by drop-casting process on ITO-coated glass substrates. And then the small molecule atrazine was adsorbed Co–Al LDHs film impregnation method. Current–voltage characteristics revealed nonvolatile resistive switching in films. The Influence of adsorption molecules behavior has been investigated. By varying content films, device coul...

High quality epitaxial indium zinc oxide (heavily indium oxide doped) (epi-n-IZO) thin films were optimized by laser-molecular beam epitaxy (L-MBE) i.e., pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique for fabricating novel isoand hetero-semiconductor–insulator–semiconductor (SIS) type solar cells using Johnson Matthey ‘‘specpure’’grade 90% In2O3 mixed 10% ZnO (as commercial indium tin oxide (ITO) comp...
