TCO Applications

• Transparent Electrodes
  • Transmission (?%) T = exp(-at)
  • Sheet Resistance (1-10 W/) Rs = r/t
  • Figure of Merit f = Tn/Rs

• Wavelength Selective Applications
  • Absorbs UV, transmits VIS, reflects IR
  • UV protection, heat mirrors

• Protective Coatings
  • Abrasion Resistant: Low coefficient of friction
  • Corrosion Resistant: Nothing etches tin oxide

• Gas Sensors
  • Conductance reversibly altered by chemisorption
  • Natural gas, H2, carbon monoxide, alcohol
