스마트윈도우 응용을 위한 FTO 기판 위에 증착된 VO2 박막의 광학적 특성
Optical Properties of VO2 Thin Film Deposited on F:SnO2 Substrate for Smart Window Application
E-mail:
Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is an attractive material for smart window applications where the transmittance of light can be automatically modulated from a transparent state to an opaque state at the critical temperature of ~68 oC. Meanwhile, F : SnO2 (F-doped SnO2, FTO) glass is a transparent conductive oxide material that is widely used in solar-energy-related applications because of its excellent optical and electrical properties. Relatively high transmittance and low emissivity have been obtained for FTO-coated glasses. Tunable transmittance corresponding to ambient temperature and low emissivity can be expected from VO2 films deposited onto FTO glasses. In this study, FTO glasses were applied for the deposition of VO2 thin films by pulsed DC magnetron sputtering. VO2 thin films were also deposited on a Pyrex substrate for comparison. To decrease the phase transition temperature of VO2, tungsten-doped VO2 films were also deposited onto FTO glasses. The visible transmittance of VO2/FTO was higher than that of VO2/pyrex due to the increased crystallinity of the VO2 thin film deposited on FTO and decreased interface reflection. Although the solar transmittance modulation of VO2/FTO was lower than that of VO2/pyrex, room temperature solar transmittance of VO2/FTO was lower than that of VO2/pyrex, which is advantageous for reflecting solar heat energy in summer.
