Abstract : Metal oxide-based plasmonics is an emergent field for which indium tin oxide (ITO) is a promising material. Improving the performance of ITO-based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors requires a deeper knowledge of their optical and electrical properties. The effects of microstructural parameters and defects on mobility, which strongly influences SPR in the near-IR regime was explored. The proposed model incorporates different scattering mechanisms and non-parabolic conduction bands to obtain realistic values of mobility. The results show that larger grain sizes and higher carrier concentrations in ITO thin films improve SPR performance at near-IR wavelengths as low as 1300 nm
