Abstract

A figure of merit for transparent electrode materials has been defined by φTC=T10/Rs, where T is the optical transmission and Rs is the electrical sheet resistance. Expressions are derived to predict the transparent electrode properties of a material from its fundamental electrical and optical constants. The performance of thin metal films is compared to semiconducting oxide coatings.
