Optical properties of single crystalline SrMoO3 thin films

The optical properties of pulsed laser deposited highly crystalline SrMoO3 thin films were investigated. Due to their low resistivity below 30 μΩ cm, thin films of SrMoO3 are candidates for transparent conductor applications. The transparency of SrMoO3 extends into the ultraviolet range to about 300...

Description
Summary:The optical properties of pulsed laser deposited highly crystalline SrMoO3 thin films were investigated. Due to their low resistivity below 30 μΩ cm, thin films of SrMoO3 are candidates for transparent conductor applications. The transparency of SrMoO3 extends into the ultraviolet range to about 300 nm. In this range, SrMoO3 has a higher transparency at similar sheet resistance as compared to alternative oxide or metallic materials. Density functional theory shows that electron-electron correlation effects are small in SrMoO3 as compared to other low-resistivity transition metal oxides and predicts the optical properties in good agreement with experiment.
