Abstract:In this study, the microstructure, grain orientation, electrical resistivity, nanohardness, and fracture strength were systematically investigated in ITO ceramics sintered with different heating rates. It was found that ITO ceramics sintered at 1600°C consist of main phase (In 2 O 3 ) and secondary phase (In 2 SnO 5 ) and the distributions of coarse grains with high indium content and fine grains with high tin content are interval. The higher heating rate was found to refine the grain size and increase the {10… Show more
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.
