Origins of Coexistence of Conductivity and Transparency inSnO2

Kılıç, Çetin, Zunger, Alex·2002·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

SnO2 is a prototype "transparent conductor," exhibiting the contradictory properties of high metallic conductivity due to massive structural nonstoichiometry with nearly complete, insulator-like transparency in the visible range. We found, via first-principles calculations, that the tin interstitial and oxygen vacancy have surprisingly low formation energies and strong mutual attraction, explaining the natural nonstoichiometry of this system. The stability of these intrinsic defects is traced back to the multivalence of tin. These defects donate electrons to the conduction band without increasing optical interband absorption, explaining coexistence of conductivity with transparency.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
