Renewable Energy, 1996, vol. 8, issue 1, 530-539

Abstract: Angular selective coatings are of interest for innovative fenestration. A theoretical framework, based on the Maxwell Garnett and Bruggeman effective medium theories, is put forward. These theories are applied to obliquely sputter deposited films based on Cr, Al, or Ti. A detailed representation of the optical data can be obtained with regard to incidence angle, wavelength, and polarization state.
