Popis: | We have studied the structure and electrical properties of thin films based on the In2O3 semiconductor and carbon, grown by atomic layer deposition using ion-beam sputtering. The structure of the resultant materials, formed during layer-by-layer growth of island layers, is made up of nanocrystalline In2O3 granules distributed at random over amorphous carbon. The electrical transport properties of the In2O3/C thin films depend on their thickness. In the temperature range 80–300 K, the dominant electrical transport mechanism in the In2O3/C thin films of thickness h 70 nm undergo a change from conduction associated with strong carrier localization to that due to the presence of percolation clusters formed by In2O3 nanocrystals, which shows up as a linear temperature dependence of conductivity, with a negative temperature coefficient. |
