Excellent near-infrared transmission of Zr-based thin film metallic glasses

Enhanced Thermochromic Properties of Vanadium Dioxide (VO2)/Glass Heterostructure by Inserting a Zr-Based Thin Film Metallic Glasses (Cu50Zr50) Buffer Layer

“…where T(λ) is defined as the transmittance at wavelength λ and ϕ sol is the solar irradiance spectrum for air mass 1.5 (corresponding to the sun standing 37 • above the horizon) [37]. As shown in Figure 6, the T vis , ∆T sol , and [28], Cu 50 Zr 50 possesses a metallic property in the infrared region. For the sandwich structure VO 2 /Cu 50 Zr 50 /glass, p-polarized SPPs are supported on the metallic film interfaces in the corresponding range.…”

“…When compared with the VO2(60 nm)/glass, the samples of VO2(60 nm)/Cu50Zr50(40 nm)/glass and VO2(60 nm)/Cu50Zr50(80 nm)/glass have higher ΔTsol and Δ-T2500nm values. According to [28], Cu50Zr50 possesses a metallic property in the infrared region. For the sandwich structure VO2/Cu50Zr50/glass, p-polarized SPPs are supported on the metallic film interfaces in the corresponding range.…”

“…Recently, thin film metallic glasses (TFMGs) were introduced and showed better surface roughness [22] and good optical properties [23,24]. In particular, Zr-based TFMG have received much scientific research attention for potential applications, since their good mechanical, tribological and fatigue properties, and their corrosion resistance and excellent adhesion [25][26][27][28]. Recently, Zong found that the Zr-based thin film metallic glasses (Cu 50 Zr 50 ) have excellent near-infrared transmission (larger than 80%) [28].…”

ZnO-NWs/Metallic Glass Nanotube Hybrid Arrays: Fabrication and Material Characterization

“…24,25 Metallic glasses (MGs) feature high yield strength, elastic strain, corrosion resistance, and magnetic permeability as well as good biocompatibility, temperature-independent electrical resistivity, and a large electrochemical surface area for catalytic reactions. [26][27][28] The disordered atomic structure without grain boundaries and temperature-dependent mechanical behavior of bulk MGs (BMGs) facilitates their formation into structures of high geometric complexity from the nanometer scale to a few centimeters without appreciable plastic deformation. 29 Also, BMGs can be patterned at the micro/nano scales to form nanowires or nanotubes for a variety of applications.…”
