Transparent Ga-doped zinc oxide-based window heaters fabricated by pulsed laser deposition

Synthesis of octahedral ZnO mesoscale superstructures via thermal decomposing octahedral zinc hydroxide precursors

“…Materials with a large surface-to-volume ratio are expected to have superior performance [1,2]. In recent years, the ordered superstructures have attracted much interest because of their potential application in magnetic recording, molecular recognition, biological labeling, and electronic devices [3,4].…”

Transparent Heaters: A Review

“…Despite TCOs being the oldest studied TCMs, there are surprisingly few reports in the literature dealing with the application of TCOs as THs. The studies reported so far involve ZnO‐based materials, Ga‐doped ZnO (GZO), [ 126–128 ] and AZO, [ 60,84,127,129 ] FTO, [ 84 ] and ITO. [ 130–133 ] Indeed, TCOs have been mainly investigated in the framework of industrial research and development, which is generally not associated with scientific publications.…”

“…Then aerosol generated from this suspension was carried by N 2 gas to a glass substrate at 400 °C. Temperatures above 132 °C were achieved in 10 min for bias voltages of 18 V. Older reports on physically deposited GZO films were performed by Kim et al [ 128 ] and Ahn et al [ 126 ] In the first case, the films were deposited by rf‐magnetron sputtering on glass substrates [ 128 ] and reached 90 °C after 22 s for a bias voltage of 48 V. In the second case, PLD was used to deposit the films on glass substrates, and reached over 88 °C after 48 s for a 12 V bias. [ 126 ]…”

InGaN/GaN blue light emitting diodes using Al-doped ZnO grown by atomic layer deposition as a current spreading layer

“…Thus, e-beam evaporation without a plasma is preferred for the deposition of ITO. Al-doped ZnO (AZO) and Ga-doped ZnO (GZO), which show higher electrical conductivity and optical transmittance in the near UV and visible regions [7,8], are progressively explored as alternative TCOs without In metal.…”

“…Many techniques have been introduced for the growth of AZO and GZO thin films, such as sputtering, pulse laser deposition, chemical vapor deposition, molecular beam epitaxy, and atomic layer deposition (ALD) [7][8][9][10][11]. Among them, ALD has been proposed as a promising growth method to deposit conductive ZnO-based thin films on large area substrates at relatively low temperatures.…”
