Electrical and optical properties of titanium nitride coatings prepared by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition

Highly (200)-Preferred Orientation TiN Thin Films Grown by DC Reactive Magnetron Sputtering

“…TiN is a promissing material because it can be used to cut tools wear-resistant coatings, diffusion barriers [2], photo-thermal solar energy conversion layer [3], semi-transparent contacts in solar cells [4] due to it possesses many interesting physical and chemical properties, such as high hardness, high melting point, high chemical stability, good electrical conductivity (around 30µΩ·cm ), high optical reflectivity (its colors varying from gold to dark brown) that are beneficial for applications in high temperature heterogeneous catalysis [5,6] and so on. What is more, TiN has a high reflectance in the infrared (IR) range and high transmittance in the visible range when the thickness of the films is less than 30 nm, So it is usually used as optical selective coatings [7,8]. The electrical and optical properties of TiN films depend strongly on composition (Ti/N ratio), and structure of, which are established by the preparation method and process conditions [9,10].…”

TiNx thin films for energy-saving application prepared by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition

“…Recently, the potential of TiN thin films being used as new energy-saving coatings attracts wide attention. It is reported that the TiN film has been used as the solar control coating and the low emission coating on glass, respectively [10,11]. Furthermore, it is reported that the TiN x film at high N/Ti ratio exhibits better solar control property [12], and the TiN x film retains metallic property at N/Ti ratio as high as 1.3 [10].…”

Preparation of leafing Cu and its application in low infrared emissivity coatings

“…Low infrared emissivity composite coatings comprised of organic binders and inorganic pigments have received considerable attention due to their civil and military applications such as heat loss control in industry, camouflaging military equipments and protecting vehicles from infrared detection in recent years [1][2][3][4][5]. Collagen, polyurethane (PU), and Ethylene-Propylene-Diene Monomer (EPDM) are widely used as organic binders, due to their excellent mechanical and durability properties [6][7][8].…”
