Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Solid State Chemistry
  • Computational Materials Science

Background:

  • Amorphous indium oxide (ISO) is a promising material for various electronic applications.
  • Understanding the structural properties and thermal stability of ISO is crucial for its practical implementation.
  • Si-doping is explored as a method to enhance the properties of ISO.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of Si-doping on the structural properties and thermal stability of amorphous indium oxide.
  • To elucidate the atomic-level mechanisms responsible for enhanced thermal stability.
  • To correlate structural changes with material performance under thermal stress.

Main Methods:

  • Experimental characterization techniques (e.g., X-ray diffraction) were used to analyze structural changes.
  • Computational modeling, including classical molecular dynamics and reverse Monte Carlo simulations, was employed.
  • Analysis of total and partial structure factors (S(Q)) and pair distribution functions (G(r), g(r)) was performed.

Main Results:

  • Pristine ISO samples showed amorphous characteristics, while annealing at 600°C induced crystallization.
  • ISO with 20 at% Si content maintained its amorphous structure after annealing, demonstrating enhanced thermal stability.
  • Si-doping influenced atomic correlations and density, with SiO4 tetrahedra playing a key role in inhibiting crystallization.

Conclusions:

  • Si-doping significantly enhances the thermal stability of amorphous indium oxide.
  • The formation of SiO4 tetrahedra and altered polyhedral connectivity are critical factors for preventing crystallization.
  • These findings provide insights into designing stable amorphous oxide materials.
