Description
Transparent Conducting Oxides (TCOs) are unusual materials as they have to possess a high electrical conductivity with good transparency in the visible region of electromagnetic spectrum. TCOs have many applica tions such as electrical inter-connections for window electrodes in flat panel displays, electro-optical devices and solar cells. TCOs are also receiving much attention and recognition as they are promising candidate for optoelectronic application in the ultraviolet to visible range. Other important parameters that determine the usefulness of TCOs are environmental stability, process ing compatibility with other device elements and production cost etc. Indium (In) doped tin oxide also known as ITO is used as TCO in industries. Now a days, TCOs have already been largely investigated. Therefore, in the recent years, this has stimulated the development of new TCO materials like doped ZnO. Dr. Vinod Kumar did his Ph.D. from GKU, Haridwar, India in 2011. He has worked as a RA at IUAC, New Delhi during the period 2011-2012. Presently, he is working as a PDF in UFS, SA. His current research interests are in the development of nanostructures, nanocomposites, nanophosphors and thin films for optoelectronic, display and photovoltaic device
