To improve the absorptance and emittance, single layer surface-textured metal tungsten (W) thin film is fabricated by magnetron sputtering through the adjustment of deposition parameters. The surface-textured single layer W thin film exhibits a high absorptance of 0.74 and a low emittance of 0.05 due to the high aspect ratio subwavelength structures. Based on the surface-textured W coating, the SS/W/Al 2 O 3 tandem spectrally selective solar absorber is designed and fabricated. Solar absorptance of 0.90 can be obtained with thermal emittance of 0.06. The surface-textured W and film structural of SS/W/Al 2 O 3 tandem coating may open an new avenue for the spectrally selective solar absorber coating.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
