Description
Summary:The interest in electrochromic materials has increased in the last few years because of their applications in a wide variety of optical modulation devices including smart windows for solar control in the architectural and automotive sectors and flat panel displays. Thermochromic coatings which reduce the transmission of solar energy as the temperature rises can prevent overheating and find application in the thermal control of buildings, satellites and spatial equipements. This article reports on the optical and structural properties of RF sputtered thin films of WO 3 and VO 2 for electrochromic and thermochromic devices.
