In this paper, different core structures of microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) for low-finesse Fabry–Pérot (FP) sensors are experimentally compared to get the highest sensitivity. These devices are designed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) measurements. Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films were deposited by sputtering on the MOFs and different optical fast Fourier transform (FFT) phase responses from the FP were measured for saturated atmospheres of ethanol. It has been demonstrated that the sensitivities of the developed sensors depend strongly on the geometry and the dimensions of the MOF-cores. The sensors show recovery times shorter than 100 s and the baselines are fully recovered after every exposure to ethanol vapors.

Transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) known as indium tin oxide (ITO) and fluorine tin oxide (FTO) deposited on glass were compared by different techniques and also as anodes in organic light-emitting diode (OLED) devices with same structure. ITO produced at laboratory was compared with the commercial one manufactured by different companies: Diamond Coatings, Displaytech and Sigma-Aldrich, and FTO produced at laboratory was compared with the commercial one manufactured by Flexitec Company. FTO thin films produced at laboratory presented the lowest performance measured by Hall effect technique and also by I-V curve of OLED device with low electrical current and high threshold voltage. ITO thin films produced at laboratory presented elevated sheet resistance in comparison with commercial ITOs (approximately one order of magnitude greater), that can be related by a high number of defects as discontinuity of the chemical lattice or low crystalline structure. In the assembly of OLED devices with ITO and FTO produced at laboratory, neither presented luminances. ITO manufactured by Sigma-Aldrich company presented better electrical and optical characteristics, as low electrical resistivity, good wettability, favorable transmittance, perfect physicalchemical stability and lowest threshold voltage (from 3 to 4.5 V) for OLED devices.

Highly conductive (conductivity 620 S cm−1) and transparent ITO thin films are achieved at low temperature (350 °C) through effective combustion solution processing via multistep coating. The properties show potential for next generation flexible and transparent electronics.

The effects of high-temperature annealing on ferromagnetic Co-doped Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) thin films have been investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), magnetometry, and X-Ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism (XMCD). Following annealing, the magnetometry results indicate the formation of Co clusters with a significant increase in the saturation magnetization of the thin films arising from defects introduced during cluster formation. However, sum rule analysis of the element-specific XMCD results shows that the magnetic moment at the Co sites is reduced after annealing. The effects of annealing demonstrate that the ferromagnetism observed in the as-deposited Co-doped ITO films arises from intrinsic defects and cannot be related to the segregation of metallic Co clusters.

Ito Thin Films

Biaxially aligned indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films were prepared by an ion-beamassisted deposition (IBAD) process at room temperature. Films with a transmittance at 550 nm of 90% and an electrical resistivity of 1.1 × 10−3 Ωcm for 300 and 250 nm thickness were obtained. Investigations of the texture evolution during IBAD film growth were carried out and compared to the well-established texture development in yttria-stabilized zirconia. An in-plane texture of 12.6° full width at half-maximum (FWHM) for a 1-μm-thick IBAD-ITO film was achieved. The quality of these films as electrically conductive buffer layers for YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) high-temperature superconductors was demonstrated by the subsequent deposition of high-currentcarrying YBCO films by thermal co-evaporation using a 3–5-nm-thick Y2O3 interlayer.A Jc of 0.76 MA/cm2 (77K, 0 T) was obtained for a 1 × 1 cm sample with ITO of 20° FWHM.
