Abstract
The electrical and optical properties of In2O3 films prepared at room temperature by activated reactive evaporation have been studied. Hall effect measurements at room temperature show that the films have a rel atively high mobility 15 cm(2)v(-1)s(-1), high carrier concentration 2 .97 x 10(20)/cm(3), with a low resistivity rho = 1.35 x 10(-3) ohm cm. As-prepared him is polycrystalline. It shows both direct and indirect allowed transitions with band gaps of 3.52 eV and 2.94eV respectively .
