During the past few years, the optics and photonics communities have renewed their
attention toward transparent conducting oxides (TCOs), which for over two decades have …

The ongoing quest for ultra-compact optical devices has reached a bottleneck due to the
diffraction limit in conventional photonics. New approaches that provide subwavelength …

Transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) have been widely used as an important component
of optoelectronic devices. They are required to exhibit high performance in both visible …

Transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) are emerging as possible alternative constituent
materials to replace noble metals such as silver and gold for low-loss plasmonic and …

A metal naturally displays dramatic changes in its optical properties near the plasma
frequency where the permittivity changes from a negative to a positive value, and the …

Optical switches operated around-near-zero (ENZ) of transparent conducting oxides (TCOs)
are analyzed. A digital optical switching behavior is derived that is quite different from earlier …

Materials displaying the remarkable combination of high electrical conductivity and optical
transparency already from the basis of many important technological applications, including …

In current technologies, state-of-the-art transparent conducting oxides exhibit good
conductivity (∼ 5× 10 3 S/cm) and transparency up to only λ∼ 1000 nm, restricting the use …

Using first-principles calculations, we investigate the origin of near-infrared plasmonic
activity in Al: ZnO transparent conducting oxides. Our results predict realistic values for the …

Transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) are electrical conductive materials with comparably
low absorption of electromagnetic waves within the visible region of the spectrum. They are …
