Tunable Transparent Conductors Based on SnO₂: Theoretical and Experimental Studies of Codoping.

ABSTRACT: Transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) are widely used in modern electronics because they have both high transmittance and good conductivity, which is beneficial for many applications such as light-emitting diodes. Tailoring electronic states and hence the conductive types by design is important for developing new materials with optimal properties for TCOs. SnO₂, with a wide band gap, low cost, no toxins, and high stability, is a promising host material for TCOs. Here, we performed a set of hybrid-exchange density functional theory calculations on the two-element and three-element codoped SnO₂ by using Sr, Ta, Al, Ga, V, and Nb, which were then validated by the relevant experimental works on SnO₂. As predicted by the first-principles calculations, the control
