Retraction of “Fabrication of Tantalum and Nitrogen Codoped ZnO (Ta, N‑ZnO) Thin Films Using the Electrospay: Twin Applications as an Excellent Transparent Electrode and a Field Emitter” Khalid Mahmood, Seung Bin Park,* and Hyung Jin Sung ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces 2013, 5 (9), 3722−3730, DOI: 10.1021/am4003342 The authors retract the article “Fabrication of Tantalum and Nitrogen Codoped ZnO (Ta, N-ZnO) Thin Films Using the Electrospray: Twin Applications as an Excellent Transparent Electrode and a Field Emitter”, ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces 2013, 5, 3722−3730, DOI: 10.1021/am4003342, on the basis of irregularities in the EDX data in Figure 2 and the XPS data in Figure 3a. Specifically, similarities in the noise in the two EDX spectra reported in Figure 2 and in the noise in the XPS data in Figure 3a compared with Figure 5b in J. Mater. Chem. C, 2013, 1, 3138−3149, DOI: 10.1039/C3TC00082F, cast doubt on the validity of these data.
