Bulk Phase Relations, Conductivity, and Transparency in Novel Bixbyite Transparent Conducting Oxide Solution in the Cadmium‐Indium‐Tin Oxide System

Optical band gap controlling of nanostructure Mn doped CdO thin films prepared by sol–gel spin coating method

“…Transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) have been investigated due to their potential applications in electronics and photovoltaic devices [1][2][3][4]. One of the most important TCO materials is CdO n-type semiconductor with a direct band gap of 2.2 eV at 300 K [2] and it has been widely used in various applications such as solar cells, photodiodes, phototransistors, and gas sensors [5][6][7].…”

Thin films of the spinel Cd1+xIn2−2xSnxO4 transparent conducting oxide solution

“…The presence of this second phase may indicate that the xϭ0.15 films lie just inside a two-phase region of the CdO-In 2 O 3 -SnO 2 system in which spinel Cd 1ϩx In 2Ϫ2x Sn x O 4 and bixbyite In 2Ϫ2x (Cd,Sn) 2x O 3 are in equilibrium. 21 Examination of the peak widths in Fig. 2 ͓especially ͑311͒ and ͑333͔͒ reveals that the xϭ0.45 and 0.70 films have significantly broader peaks than the xϭ0.15 films.…”

“…Figure 2 shows representative XRD patterns for films annealed in Ar/CdS produced from all three different sputtering targets ͑xϭ0.15, 0.45, 0.70͒ and a pattern of the starting spinel powder used to produce the xϭ0.15 target. The annealed films produced from these targets all show only a randomly oriented polycrystalline spinel phase, with the exception of two films produced from the xϭ0.15 target annealed in Ar/CdS, which show possible traces of a bixbyite phase, 21 In 2Ϫ2x (Cd,Sn͒ 2x O 3 , at the XRD limit of detection ͑not visible in Fig. 2͒.…”

Density-Functional Study of the Electronic Structure and Optical Properties of Transparent Conducting Oxides In4Sn3O12 and In4Ge3O12

“…1,2 These prospective applications have aroused great interest in researching other similar TCOs containing indium and tin, [3][4][5][6][7] as well as other elements, such as magnesium, cadmium, zinc, gallium, etc. [8][9][10][11][12] By changing the composition of the compounds, we can adjust their electrical, optical, chemical, and physical properties to meet particular needs. In 4 Sn 3 O 12 was found to be very stable in acid solutions and oxidizing atmospheres at high temperature.…”
