The features of the surface morphology of thin conductive films of indium-tin oxides obtained by laser-oriented deposition

The effect of the control electric field strength on the surface properties of laser-deposited thin films based on indium tin oxides (ITO) has been studied. It is shown that with increasing control field strength, the roughness of coatings decreases from 3.4 to 0.4 nm. When wetting with drops of distilled water, it was found that at $E$ = 0 V/cm the Cassie–Baxter state is realized, at field $E$ = 100 V/cm a transition to the Wenzel state is observed, and with a further increase in the electric field strength, dynamics appears in the direction towards the ideally smooth surface model.
