New figure of merit for transparent conductors
Journal of Applied Physics · 1976 · Vol. 47(9) · pp. 4086–4089
Abstract
A figure of merit for transparent electrode materials has been defined by φTC=T10/Rs, where T is the optical transmission and Rs is the electrical sheet resistance. Expressions are derived to predict the transparent electrode properties of a material from its fundamental electrical and optical constants. The performance of thin metal films is compared to semiconducting oxide coatings.
