Thin films

The main objective of this work was to develop laboratory-scale versions of (a) multilayer thin film coated energy-efficient glass windows for applications in warm climates. For this purpose a three-layer system of dielectric/metal/dielectric (D/M/D) on glass was used to achieve the above mentioned

Composite Pd alloy membranes have been investigated as a means of reducing the membrane cost and improving H2 flux. Recently, we have been able to dramatically reduce the thickness of our Pd alloy membranes to approximately one micron. This is significant because at this thickness, it is the cost of
