“…3 shows its dependence on the % In but contradicts Vegard's law which predicts a contraction in the host lattice due to the radius of the Sn 4+ ion (0.71Å) which is smaller compared to that of In 3+ (0.81 Å). 5 This contradiction has been attributed to the large repulsive force arising from additional positive charges of the Sn cations 16,17 or to the increase of interstitial O which neutralizes the extra positive charges. 18 The variation of the lattice constant of (222), (123), (400), (411), (420), (332), (422), (134), (125), (440), (433), (600), (611), (026), (145), (622), (136), (444), (543), (046), (633), (156), (800), (811), (820), (653), (822), (831), (662), (048), (833), (248), (761), (158), (763), (844), (853), (1000) the ITO NWs with In content determined from the (222) reflection of In 2 O 3 is shown in Fig.…”
