Developing transparent conductors that can utilize a portion of the UV range of the sunlight requires bandgap engineering by varying the process parameters as well as type and concentration of dopants in the host materials. ...

Thermodynamic analyses have been carried out to understand the growth of ultrathin oxide overgrowths on single-crystalline bare [AlMg] and [AlSi] alloys due to their dry, thermal oxidation. The parameters considered in ...
