Optical properties of ultrathin metal oxide and metal films : effect of free electrons, quantum confinement and localized surface plasmon resonance by Li, Xiao Dong

“…The effect of free electrons on optical properties of AZO and a-IGZO thin films has been investigated. The comparison study of the free electrons between the undoped ZnO and AZO shows that free electrons could greatly suppress the excitonic absorption near the band edge and result in an expansion of band gap due to the free electrons effect. …”

Optical and optoelectronic properties of Si nanocrystals embedded in dielectric matrix by Ding, Liang

“…Based on the knowledge of band structure of nc-Si obtained in this work, the size-dependent PL band could be attributed to the indirect band-to-band transition of the nc-Si assisted by the Si-O vibration at the interface of nc-Si/SiO2. Visible and near infrared (IR) electroluminescence (EL) has been observed from a metal–oxide–semiconductor-like (MOS-like) structure with nc-Si embedded in the gate oxide. …”

Zirconia spacer electrodes improve microstructural uniformity of flash sintered zirconia ceramics by Prajzler, V, Todd, R

“…A reference 3YSZ sample, which was sintered with stainless steel electrodes only, reached 98.2% of relative density with a notable grain size difference between the central (∼290 nm) and near-electrode parts (∼160 nm). The addition of 3YSZ spacer electrodes improved the final density to 98.9 % and reduced the grain size difference between the central (∼300 nm) and near-electrode parts (∼220 nm) almost by half compared to the reference sample.…”
