- Titanium oxide films were prepared by reactive DC magnetron sputtering onto SnO2:F coated glass substrates. The O-2/Ar gas flow ratio was kept at a constant value Gamma during the deposition, and a series of films were deposited with 0.050 < Gamma < 0.072. Structural studies were performed by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy; the structure displayed penniform features with a clear dependence on F. Charge transport in the films was evaluated by use of time-resolved photocurrents; a diffusion model was fitted to the experimental data and two different transport mechanisms were proposed depending on the film stoichiometry. Dye sensitization in cis-dithiocyanato-bis(2,2'-bipyridyl-4,4'-dicarboxylate) ruthenium (II) was performed to evaluate incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency and solar cell properties of the films. These parameters showed a clear dependence on Gamma. Optical measurements gave evidence for the presence of polaron absorption for the film deposited at Gamma = 0.050.

- Vanadium-dioxide-based thermochromic thin films and nanoparticle composites can have significant transmittance for visible light, Tlum, while they are able to transmit more near-infrared solar radiation at τ < τc than at τ > τc, where τ denotes temperature and τc ≈ 68 °C. It has been understood for many years that these properties are of principle interest for energy efficient fenestration, but the technology has been slow to mature. The present paper summarizes the state of the art of VO2-based thermochromics and points at the many advances that have been made during recent years. Specifically, the paper discusses how to employ doping to adjust τc to room temperature and to increase Tlum, how to use nano materials to enhance the solar energy transmittance modulation and Tlum, and how to prepare nanoparticle composites by sputtering. A brief discussion is given on thermochromic light scattering, which is a recently discovered phenomenon.
