摘要

Abstract

The long-standing challenge in designing far-infrared transparent conductors (FIRTC) is the combination of high plasma absorption edge (

) and high conductivity (

). These competing requirements are commonly met by tuning carrier concentration or/and effective carrier mass in a metal oxide/oxonate with low optical dielectric constant (

opt

= 2–7). However

despite the high

the transparent band is limited to mid-infrared (

5 μm). In this paper

we break the trade-off between high

and

by increasing the “so-called constant”

opt

that has been neglected

and successfully develop the material family of FIRTC with

opt

15 and

15 μm. These FIRTC crystals are mainly octahedrally-coordinated heavy-metal chalcogenides and their solid solutions with shallow-level defects. Their high

opt

relies on the formation of electron-deficiency multicenter bonds resulting in the great electron-polarization effect. The new FIRTC enables us to develop the first “continuous film” type far-infrared electromagnetic shielder that is unattainable using traditional materials. Therefore

this study may inaugurate a new era in far-infrared optoelectronics.
