Transparent conductors are essential elements in an array of optoelectronic devices. The
most commonly used transparent conductor–indium tin oxide (ITO) suffers from issues …

The need for the development of transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) supported on
flexible polymer substrates has explosively increased in response to flexible polymer‐based …

We report a comprehensive experimental study of optical and electrical properties of thin
polycrystalline gold films in a wide range of film thicknesses (from 20 to 200 nm). Our …

The physics of electrons, photons and their plasmonic interactions changes greatly when
one or more dimensions are reduced down to the nanometre scale. For example, graphene …

Transparent conductive materials (TCMs) have important applications in the fields of military,
biomedicine, and energy. Despite the emergence of visible TCMs, the development of …

Thin films of beryllium and gold that are several tens of nanometers thick were obtained, for
the first time, on silicon and quartz substrates by the ion-beam method with tenfold …

Sub‐10 nm continuous metal films are promising candidates for flexible and transparent
nanophotonics and optoelectronic applications. In this article, it is demonstrated that …

Ultrathin metal films (UTMFs) are widely used in optoelectronic applications, from
transparent conductors to photovoltaic cells, low emissivity windows, and plasmonic …

Thin-film solar technology is the subject of considerable current research. The classical
material platform of amorphous silicon (a-Si) has been complemented by organic solar cells …

An ultrathin, ultrasmooth and flexible Au film as an alternative of the indium–tin oxide (ITO)
electrode in organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) has been reported. The 7 nm Au film …
