New p-type Al-substituted SrSnO3 perovskites for TCO applications?†
Abstract
Novel p-type SrSn1−xAlxO3 (x = 0, 0.2, 0.5) perovskites are presented as potential candidates for electro-optical applications. A combined experimental and theoretical study reveals that chemical substitutions can be used as a lever to stabilize oxygen holes in the valence band.
