On the Cover:
Energy-conserving "low emissivity"
windows represent the largest present application of transparent
conductng oxides (TCOs). Heat-reflecting films of fluorine-doped
tin oxide 0.3 um thick and anti-iridescent silicon dioxide 0.03
um thick cover the windows of the new Naito Chemical Laboratory
building at Harvard University. "Energy Advantage"
coating manufactured by Pilkington Libbey- Owens-Ford Co. under
license from patents of Prof. Roy G. Gordon of Harvard; building
designed by the architects Ellenzweig Associates of Cambridge,
Mass. Photograph courtesy of Steve Rosenthal, photographer (copyright
2000). (upper left) Crystal structure of the p-type transparent
conductor SrCu202. Zigzag chains of -O-Cu-O-Cu-O-
are aligned along [100] and [010] directions. See the article
that begins on page 28.
(upper right) The thermomagnetic Nernst effect
is shown schematically for three different parabolic-band materials
exhibiting three dominant scattering mechanisms. See the article
that begins on page 58.
(bottom left) Schematic illustration of several candidate
molecular precursors for the metalorganic chemical vapor deposition
of TCO thin films: (clockwise from upper left) bis [4-N-2-methoxyethyl-imino)-2-
pentanato]cadmium, bisacetylacetonato)tin, bis[2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-5N-
(2methoxyethyl-imino)-3- heptanato] cadmium, and tris (dipivaloylmethanato)
indium.
(bottom right) Five binary oxides exhibiting visibly transparent
and electrically conducting qualities are shown on the vertices
of a hexahedron. Diagram illustrates a phase space currently
being investigated for new n-type TCO materials in the
form of ternary ad quaternary compounds. See the article that
begins on page 58. Cover montage created by Alfred Hicks and
Susan Sczepanski, graphic designers, National Renewable Energy
Laboratory.
