TY - JOUR AU - Perveev, A. AB - D. V. Belyshkin and A. F. Perveev UDC 535.34 Low-reflectivity coatings are of great interest from the standpoint of devising blackbodies, bolom- eters, light-deflecting diaphragms, etc. In those cases where the coating must also exhibit low scatter- ing, as for example in the fabrication of light-deflecting diaphragms, blackening of the polished metallic surfaces is usually resorted to. At the present time, electrochemical oxidizing of the surface of the metal, and nickel blank or acid chrome black type electrochemical coatings [1] are usually relied upon. Reflec- tions from those coatings amount to 10-15% in the visible region of the spectrum. Antireflection coatings of SiO and SiO 2 reduce reflections of the coating to 1-2% [2]. We made use of films of cermets, i.e., films of a metal-dielectric composite, in making the light- absorbing coatings. Some varieties of cermet films are used in the electronics industry in the manufac- ture of resistors. There are several methods for fabricating cermet films by evaporation in vacuum [3- 6]. Cermet films belonging to the system Ti--SiO 2 were produced by the authors by thermal evaporation in vacuum (3.10 -5 torr ) of a pellet compacted from a mixture of powders, with the aid of TI - Light-absorbing cermet base film coatings JF - Journal of Applied Spectroscopy DO - 10.1007/BF00605771 DA - 2004-10-23 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/light-absorbing-cermet-base-film-coatings-SHZYSVyaph SP - 112 EP - 113 VL - 12 IS - 1 DP - DeepDyve ER -
