Nanocomposite oxide thin films grown by pulsed energy beam deposition

▶ Indium tin oxide (ITO) films with large oxygen deficiency grown by PLD and PED. ▶ Nanocomposite ITO thin films with metallic In-Sn clusters embedded in oxide matrix. ▶ Metallic conductivity via percolation with a superconducting transition at about 6 K. ▶ Melting and freezing of In-Sn clusters through resistivity measurements.
