Family of Cu@metal nanowires network for transparent electrodes on n‐AlGaN. Issue 5 (11th January 2016) - Wang, Huachun
Abstract : We propose a novel technique for fabricating a series of Cu@metal core–shell nanowires as transparent electrodes for III‐nitride based devices. The superfine copper nanowires (16 nm) was synthesized by solution method and used as the platform to coat various metals such as nickle, zinc, vanadium, or titanium, with which desired work function could be obtained. This nanowires network could be fabricated on wafer or even flexible substrates. High transparency was achieved in a very wide wavelength range from 200 to 2500 nm. The transparent electrodes showed low resistance as well as excellent stability in air.
