However, their optical properties are typically characterized by the direct transmittance achieved by making use of spectrophotometers, avoiding an in-depth knowledge of the processes involved in radiation attenuation. A different procedure based on the Double Integration Sphere combined with the numerical Inverse Adding-Doubling (IAD) method is employed in this work to provide a comprehensive description of the physical processes limiting the light transmittance in commercial indium tin oxide (ITO) deposited on flexible PET samples, highlighting the noticeable contribution of light scattering on the total extinction of radiation. Moreover, harnessing their flexibility, the samples were subjected to different mechanical stresses to assess their impact on the material’s optical and electrical properties.}, organization = {FEDER/Junta de Andalucía-Consejería de Transformación Económica, Industria, Conocimiento y Universidades through the projects P20-00633, P20-00200, BRNM- 375-UGR18, A-TEP-280-UGR18 and A-TIC-646-UGR20}, organization = {Project PID2020-116518GB-I00 funded by the MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033}, organization = {Plan Propio of Universidad de Granada}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {ITO}, keywords = {Double integration sphere}, keywords = {IAD}, keywords = {Transmittance}, keywords = {Absorption}, keywords = {Scattering}, keywords = {Mechanical stress}, title = {Investigation of the Optical Properties of Indium Tin Oxide Thin Films by Double Integration Sphere Combined with the Numerical IAD Method}, doi = {10.3390/ma16041425}, author = {Toral López, Alejandro and Pérez Gómez, María Del Mar and Rodríguez Águila, Ana Belén and Cardona Pérez, Juan De La Cruz and Ionescu, Ana María Andreea and Godoy Medina, Andrés}, }
