Abstract

Corundum‐structured Sn‐doped indium oxide (rh‐ITO) is investigated as a novel transparent conductive oxide. Herein, its gamma‐ray tolerance up to a total dose of 77 kGy is examined for potential applications in harsh environments, such as space. The investigations are conducted on rh‐ITO with Sn concentrations of 0 and 5 at%. X‐ray diffraction 2θ‐ω scan analysis reveals that no phase separation occurs due to gamma‐ray irradiation. The carrier concentration in undoped rh‐In2O3 increases after irradiation, indicating that the gamma rays displace the oxygen atoms and form oxygen defects that generate donors. The high visible light transparency of rh‐In2O3 and rh‐ITO is maintained after irradiation. This study demonstrates the high stability of rh‐ITO to gamma‐ray irradiation until 77 kGy dose. This work contributes to the application of rh‐ITO as an electrode in high‐radiation environments.

刚玉结构掺锡氧化铟薄膜对伽马射线辐照的耐受性

研究人员将刚玉结构掺杂锡的氧化铟（rh-ITO）作为一种新型透明导电氧化物。在此，研究人员考察了其对伽马射线的耐受性（总剂量达 77 kGy），以了解其在太空等恶劣环境中的潜在应用。研究针对 Sn 浓度分别为 0% 和 5% 的 rh-ITO 进行。X 射线衍射 2θ-ω 扫描分析表明，伽马射线辐照不会导致相分离。辐照后，未掺杂的 rh-In2O3 中的载流子浓度增加，这表明伽马射线置换了氧原子并形成了氧缺陷，从而产生了供体。辐照后，rh-In2O3 和 rh-ITO 仍保持较高的可见光透明度。这项研究证明了 rh-ITO 在 77 kGy 剂量之前对伽马射线辐照的高稳定性。这项工作有助于将 rh-ITO 用作高辐射环境中的电极。
