Aluminum zinc oxide transparent conductors for optical cavity enhanced polymer photovoltaics

Emily Griffin with Ken Singer Aluminum zinc oxide transparent conductors for optical cavity enhanced polymer photovoltaics Indium tin oxide is the ubiquitous transparent conductor used in all liquid crystal displays and thin film photovoltaic devices.  Indium, however, is a rare and relatively expensive material, leading to intense research to replace it...
