Transparent conductors as solar energy materials: A panoramic review
TL;DR: Transparent conductors (TCs) have a multitude of applications for solar energy utilization and for energy savings, especially in buildings as discussed by the authors, which leads naturally to considerations of spectral selectivity, angular selectivity, and temporal variability of TCs, as covered in three subsequent sections.

The Interpretation of the Properties of Indium Antimonide
TL;DR: In this paper, the optical properties of InSb are analyzed and precise values for the position and temperature dependence of the absorption edge are given, which is explained by the very low effective mass of the conduction electrons, estimated by three methods to be about 0.03 of the free electron mass.

Zinc oxide films prepared by sol-gel spin-coating
Y Natsume,H Sakata +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, electrical conductivity and optical properties of undoped zinc oxide films prepared by the sol-gel process using a spin-coating technique were investigated, and it was shown that the optical band gap energy for the films was 3.20-3.21 eV and the electronic transition was of the direct transition type.
