| Abstract Scope |
Nanomultilayers are composites with alternating material layers with thicknesses on the nanoscale. The ceramic/ceramic systems examined in this study, AlN/SiO₂, TiO₂/SiO₂, and AlN/Al₂O₃, were selected for their known optical performance. Multilayers were synthesized with optimized layer thicknesses with the goal of achieving an average experimental transmittance > 90% over the UV/Vis to NIR wavelength range. More specifically, layer thicknesses and material selection affect microstructural and interfacial changes such as variations in grain morphology and interface structure, which yield maximized optical properties. The effect on mechanical properties was also investigated. |
