    摘要: Certain disclosed embodiments concern an organic solution suitable for forming metal oxide films, particularly thins films, comprising a metal salt selected from a Sn salt, an Sb salt, a dopant, and combinations thereof. The salt often is a halide salt, such as SnCl2 or SbCl3. Certain disclosed compositions are preferably formed using substantially pure reagents and may include a dopant, such as a fluoride dopant. Described solutions may be used to form thin films, such as a thin film comprising SnO2, Sb:SnO2, F:SnO2, or (Sb,F):SnO2. Such thin films may have any desired thickness, such as a thickness of from 200 or 700 nm, and are extremely smooth, such as having an RMS surface roughness >3 nm, such as 3 nm to 10 nm, with certain embodiments having an RMS surface roughness

    摘要: The use of a sol comprising a solvent, an alkoxide and a catalyst to prepare a water impermeable product is provided. Also provided is a water impermeable fibre-based product prepared using a sol. Further provided is a sol comprising a solvent, an alkoxide, a biopolymer, and a catalyst. A method of making a sol comprising a solvent, an alkoxide, a biopolymer, and a catalyst is also provided. The method comprises: a) dispersing a biopolymer in a solution comprising a catalyst and then adding an alkoxide; b) dispersing an alkoxide in a solvent, adding a catalyst and then adding a biopolymer; or c) dispersing an alkoxide in a solution comprising a catalyst and then adding a biopolymer. Yet further provided is a coated product wherein the product has been coated with a sol comprising a solvent, an alkoxide, a biopolymer, and a catalyst. A powder derived from a sol as described herein is also disclosed.

    摘要: Micron scale tin oxide-based semiconductor devices are provided. Reactive-ion etching is used to produce a micron-scale electronic device using semiconductor films with tin oxides, such as barium stannate (BaSnO3). The electronic devices produced with this approach have high mobility, drain current, and on-off ratio without adversely affecting qualities of the tin oxide semiconductor, such as resistivity, electron or hole mobility, and surface roughness. In this manner, electronic devices, such as field-effect transistors (e.g., thin-film transistors (TFTs)), are produced having micron scale channel lengths and exhibiting complete depletion at room temperature.
