Transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) pose a number of serious challenges. In addition to the pursuit of high-quality single crystals and thin films, their application has to be preceded by a thorough understanding of their peculiar electronic structure. It is of fundamental interest to understand why these materials, transparent up to the UV spectral regime, behave also as conductors. Here we investigate In2O3 and Ga2O3, two binary oxides, which show the smallest and largest optical gaps among conventional n-type TCOs. The investigations on the electronic structure were performed on high-quality n-type single crystals showing carrier densities of ~1019 cm-3 (In2O3) and ~1017 cm-3 (Ga2O3). The subjects addressed for both materials are: the determination of the band structure along high-symmetry directions and fundamental gaps by angular resolved photoemission (ARPES). We also address the orbital character of the valence- and conduction-band regions by exploiting photoemission cross sections in x-ray photoemission (XPS) and by x-ray absorption (XAS). The observations are discussed with reference to calculations of the electronic structure and the experimental results on thin films.
