Transparent conducting properties of SrSnO3 and ZnSnO3

Transparent conducting properties of SrSnO3 and ZnSnO3

We report optical properties of doped n-type SrSnO3 and ZnSnO3 in relation to potential application as transparent conductors. We find that the orthorhombic distortion of the perovskite structure in SrSnO3 leads to absorption in the visible as the doping level is increased. This arises from interban...
