Development of new transparent conductive material of Mg(OH)2-C

Abstract

New transparent and electric conductive material, Mg(OH)2-C, was prepared by the sputtering Mg and C, and post-reaction of the Mg-C film with moisture in the air. The prepared film was composed of Mg, C, O, and H, and the lattice symmetry was identified to be Mg(OH)2 structure (P-3m1) with slightly elongated c-axis compared with hexagonal Mg(OH)2. The transmittance of the visible ray was 90% in the average. The electric resistivity ofthe film was on the order of 10-1 Ωcm. © 2008 The Surface Science Society of Japan.
