Abstract
An electrically conductive and optically transparent coating comprising a very thin, noble metal oxide film applied to a nonconductive, transparent substrate, said noble metal selected from the group consisting of ruthenium, rhodium, osmium and iridium. These coatings are useful as resistance heaters for windows, as optically transparent electrodes for electro-optic and electro-chemical applications, for radio frequency shieldings and a wide variety of other applications.
