“…The refractive index, the dielectric constant as well as the plasma frequency of this oxide were also calculated. Moreover, the optical, mechanical and opto-thermal investigation results were in good agreement with those of XRD and AFM techniques and with some recently published results [44][45][46]. The relatively high c-axis oriented direction of grains of the highly annealed films has indeed a benefit effect on their opto-thermal properties via an obvious decrease of ψ AB values (≈−30%).…”

“…They report at high temperature an Arrhenius behavior for conductivity consistent with polaron hopping but at low temperature (below 110°C) they observe an increase in conductivity with decreasing temperature. They attribute this enhanced conductivity to be at least in part ionic [17]. Still, in both regimes conductivities vary by two to three orders of magnitude over temperature ranges of order 100-200°C.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
