Abstract

We propose a wavelength-dependent figure of merit for transparent conducting nanotube networks, composed of the sheet resistance and the optical density. We argue that this would be more useful than previous suggestions, because it relies on more realistic assumptions regarding the optical parameters of real nanotubes.
