Abstract

Solar control coatings used in architectural glazings of buildings in warm climates should exhibit controlled optical transmittance (10 to 50%) in visible region and must reflect efficiently (>= 90%) in IR region to create a cool interior buildings. CuInS₂ coatings deposited by the electron beam evaporation technique are found to satisfy basic requirements of SCC and appear superior to the metallic solar control coatings and PbS coatings.
