Abstract

The electrical conductance and optical absorption coefficient of microcrystalline indium oxide (c – In2 O 3-x ) can be changed reversibly by several orders of magnitude by photoreduction and reoxidation. Photoreduction is achieved by exposure to ultraviolet light hv ≥ 3.5eV in vacuum or an inert gas. The effects are similar to those previously observed in amorphous In2 O3-x
