title: Optoelectronic performance optimization for transparent conductive layers based on randomly arranged silver nanorods.
abstract: Optoelectronic performance of transparent conductive layers (TCLs) based on randomly arranged silver (Ag) nanorods (NRs) is simulated. Models for calculation of optical and electronic properties were proposed founded on finite-difference time-domain method and percolation theory respectively. Obtained simulation results are well conformed to experimental data. The influence of angle deviation of NR crossings on the transmittance and sheet resistance are demonstrated. The balance between transmittance and sheet resistance which can be easily set by varying the combinations of NR radius and NR number is shown. Our results demonstrate that randomly arranged Ag layers are promising candidates for flexible TCLs.
