Radiation damage in indium tin oxide (ITO) layers

Nanoparticle Films

“…ITO has low resistivity about 10 3 cm and is 70 %-90 % transparent in the visible part of the spectrum. But the problems with the ITO are that it has an insufficient electrical conductivity for high-density display applications, it is unstable in hydrogen plasma, degrades in high-temperature applications, is corrosion sensitive, and forms hydrate [73][74][75]. The synthesis and properties of many In-and Sn-based oxide films deposited by different techniques [76][77][78][79] have been reported.…”

Al- and Al:In-Doped ZnO Thin Films Deposited by RF Magnetron Sputtering for Spacecraft Charge Mitigation

“…12 It has been reported, in addition to questionable mechanical stability, that the optical properties of ITO films are negatively affected following prolonged exposure to solar UV or charged particle irradiation. [13][14][15] The electrical and optical properties of group IIIdoped ZnO meet the requirements for spacecraft charge mitigation. Bulk ZnO is extremely resistant to electron-irradiation-induced damage; 16,17 demonstrating little change in optical and electrical properties for electron energies up to 1.6 MeV and fluences ‡1 · 10 17 cm -2 .…”

Влияние Протонного Облучения На Свойства Стекла С Покрытием ITO

“…При этом до настоящего времени практически отсутствуют сведения о стойкости пленки ITO к воздействию не только ГМП, но и протонов с энергиями, характерными для ГМП. В работе [14] показано, что пленки ITO на стеклянных подложках стойки к облучению протонами с энергией 100 keV при дозах до 1.6 mC/cm 2 . Однако доля частиц с энергией 100 keV в спектре протонов ГМП незначительна, а основной вклад в него вносят протоны с более низкими энергиями [15].…”
