Benefits of technology

The technology described by this inventor allows for precise control over how thin certain layers on an optical component are made that create different colored patterns called shades like reds, blues, greens, yellows, etc., which makes it look more vibrant than regular lenses without adding too much weight. This results in improved performance and reduced power consumption compared with traditional methods such as dichroics (light) filters).

Problems solved by technology

This patented describes two aspects related to improving window energy efficiency: Firstly, reducing greenhouse gas emissions during winter months due primarily to increased demand for new constructions and improved design fidelities. Secondly, increasing solar usage at home saves upwards of 700 billion kilocalories per day compared to previous measures such as adding extra shading devices like curtains.

Embodiment 1

[0026] (a) Cleaning of glass substrate

[0027] Put the glass substrate into high-purity alcohol and clean it ultrasonically for 5 minutes; then put it into acetone solution and clean it ultrasonically for 5 minutes. It was then blown dry with nitrogen and immediately placed in the film preparation chamber.

[0028] (b) Preparation of vanadium dioxide thin film

[0029] Preparation system: Magnetron sputtering is used. The magnetron sputtering system consists of a sample mounting chamber and a main sputtering chamber (45 cm in diameter). The main sputtering chamber is connected with a molecular diffusion pump with a vacuum of 2.0×10 -6 Pa. The sputtering chamber has three target positions for three different 2-inch diameter targets. Each target position is inclined upward at an angle of 30°, and can be co-sputtered in a confocal manner or independently sputtered with three targets. The sample stage can be heated up to 600°C and can rotate continuously during the sputtering

Embodiment 2

[0035] The cleaning, preparation system and preparation conditions of the glass substrate are the same as in Example 1. The deposition time of the vanadium dioxide thin film is 32 minutes, and the film thickness is 65 nm. Viewed from the coated surface of the glass, the reflection color of the glass is light orange-yellow. Transmission spectrum and reflection spectrum see figure 2 .

Embodiment 3

[0037] The cleaning and preparation system of the glass substrate is the same as in Example 1.

[0038] Preparation conditions: use vanadium pentoxide ceramics as the sputtering target (purity 99.5%), feed Ar gas and H 2 Gas mixture [mixing ratio H 2 / (Ar+H 2 )=5%], the flow rate is 30 sccm, DC sputtering, and the sputtering power is set to 120W. Sputtering for 40 minutes, VO 2 The film thickness is about 95 nm. The deposition temperature was 500°C.

[0039] Viewed from the coated surface of the glass, the reflection color of the glass is royal blue. Transmission spectrum and reflection spectrum see image 3 .

Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method for a colorful vanadium dioxide thermal stained glass on a glass substrate, which is characterized in that the following steps are sequentially included: (a) the glass substrate is washed and dried by a lotion or a solvent; (b) the glass substrate is put in a thin film deposition chamber and heated to 300-600 DEG C, (c) working gas is inlet; (d) magnetron sputtering preparation process is adopted to lead the vanadium dioxide to form film; (e) the film forming thickness is controlled to obtain vanadium dioxide coated glass with different reflection colors. By accurately controlling the thickness of the film, the preparation method can cause the reflection color of the glass to present the colors of light blue violet, blue violet, nattierblue, yellow or pink, etc. The colors can not only lead the vanadium dioxide thermal stained glass to have the purposes of high efficiency and energy conservation, but also decorate the appearance of the buildings to perform the role of beautifying the environment.
