Emissivity and Optical Properties of Thermochromic Material La0.7Ca0.3−x Sr x MnO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3)

Abstract

La 0.7 Ca 0.3−x Sr x MnO 3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3) (LCSMO) is a thermochromic material. The material can show a phase transition from ferromagnetic-metal to paramagnetic-insulator under the appropriate doping level (x). In this paper, LCSMO compounds were synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction method. The normal emissivity and the spectral reflectance of LCSMO with different doping levels (x) are experimentally investigated. Based on the spectral reflectance data, the optical constants (refractive index n and extinction coefficient k) are calculated by using Kramers-Kronig (K-K) relations. Then, the emissivity changing mechanism is discussed. The experimental results show that the emissivity of LCSMO increases with increasing temperature. For the samples with x = 0.1 and 0.15, their emissivity has a sudden change in the vicinity of the phase transition temperature T p .

Conductive path and local oxygen-vacancy dynamics: Case study of crosshatched oxides

“…In the case of S 1 , ε r ∼ 7.10 (#4), and ε r ∼ 3.67 (#8) in the low field regime, are at a similar level with the values ε r ∼ 4-4.8 in bulk LSMO [50,51] and ε r ∼ 3.39-6.05 in polycrystalline LSMO films. [52] In the high field regime, ε r ∼ 1.99 (#4) and ε r ∼ 0.68 (#8) are much less, and in particular the latter seems unphysically small.…”

Vanadium dioxide based Fabry-Perot emitter for dynamic radiative cooling applications

“…The wavelength-selective emittance peak in the 8−13 µm atmospheric window of the fabricated tunable metafilm emitter with metallic VO2 indicates great promise for radiative cooling for terrestrial applications. If solar heating and convective heat transfer are neglected, the terrestrial radiative cooling power of the coating (qrad,terr) can be calculated from [9,10,28]:…”
