Abstract

This Letter focuses on the discovery of a transparent conducting oxide (TCO), anatase Ti_1-xNb_xO₂ films with x=0.002-0.2. The resistivity of films with x≥0.03 is 2-3 × 10 ^-4 Ω cm at room temperature. The carrier density of Ti _1-xNb_xO₂ can be controlled in a range of 1 × 10¹⁹ to 2 × 10²¹ cm^-3. The internal transmittance for films with x≤0.03 (40 nm thickness) is about 97% in the visible light region. The transport and optical parameters are comparable to those of typical TCOs, such as In_2-xSn_xO₃ and ZnO.
