General description

Indium(III)oxide is a versatile compound with significant applications in electronics,optics, and materials science. It is widely employed in the synthesis of transparentconducting oxides (TCOs), particularly for flat-panel displays, and solarcells, due to its electrical conductivity and optical transparency. Insemiconductor technology, it is used for making indium tin oxide (ITO),enhancing the performance of electronic devices, and is sensitive to variousgases, making it suitable for gas sensing applications, particularly indetecting hazardous gases.

The ionization potentials of In(2)O(3) films grown epitaxially by magnetron sputtering on Y-stabilized ZrO(2) substrates with (100) and (111) surface orientation are determined using photoelectron spectroscopy. Epitaxial growth is verified using x-ray diffraction. The observed ionization potentials, which directly affect

Antibacterial activity of photocatalytic substrates is primarily induced by ultraviolet light irradiation. Visible light-responsive photocatalysts were recently discovered, offering greater opportunity to use photocatalysts as disinfectants in our living environment. The development of antibacterial photocatalysts, however, has mainly focused on
