Abstract:The exponential growth in population and the increasing global temperature trickles down to an explosive demand in cooling and refrigeration. The vicious cycle of carbon footprint generation by these cooling devices can be broken by a mechanism of passive cooling. This study outlines research undertaken with the aim to design such materials -exhibiting high reflectance in the solar spectrum and high emission in the atmospheric transparency window of 8-13 µm. The Monte Carlo (MC) method is used to simulate ligh… Show more
