Energy-efficient windows are a significant breakthrough for buildings and vehicles because
they effectively minimize energy loss through these openings. These windows feature …

In this study, we present the molecular dynamics simulation of metal ion implantation,
investigating the strengthening mechanism from a microstructural perspective. A single …

The ultra-thin silver films with different thickness are deposited by resistance thermal
evaporation at room temperature, and the optical constants n and k are obtained by using …

Aluminium, first surface, plastic mirrors have been developed to be used as heliostats in
concentrated solar power stations. The Al reflective layer, the adhesion of the reflective layer …

Low emissivity (low-e) coatings minimise heat transmittance through the coating and
emission of infrared light from hot surfaces. They are used in space applications to reduce …

The differences in nanoscale strengthening mechanisms between metal and non-metal ion
implantation remain unclear. This paper employs Cr and N ions as representatives, and …

In this study, C 3 N 4 coating was successfully fabricated on AISI 304 stainless steel by
electrochemical deposition method using NN dimethylformamide (DMF) and KCl as the …

This work proposes for the first time protecting–reflecting on both sides of plated mirrors and
a solution to polycarbonate surface vulnerability to weathering and scratching using …

Silver (Ag) thin films deposited on glass are proficient in their visible range reflectance at
both Ag/air and Ag/glass interfaces. However, the film adherence onto glass is feeble due to …

The lifetime of mirrors in outdoor conditions is crucial in the correct operation of any
concentrating solar power (CSP) installation. In this work, the corrosion behavior of two …
