    Notes: Thermochromic glazing is a type of intelligent glazing; one where the properties of the glazing change according to some external stimulus. More particularly a thermochromic window is a device that changes its transmission and reflectance properties at a critical temperature (Tc). Atthis specific temperature the material undergoes a semi-conductor to metal transition. At temperatures lower than Tc the window lets all of the solar energy that hits it through. At emperatures above Tc the window reflects the infra-red portion of solar energy. In such a way thermochromic windows may help reduce air conditioning and heating costs leading to more energy efficient buildings. This review details the nature of the semi-conductor to metal transition and indicates how substitutional doping within a crystal lattice can be used to manipulate and fine tune the critical temperature. Also detailed is the underlying science and methodologies so far employed in the production of thermochromic thin films

    Notes: A numerical model was developed which enables the calculation of the optical constants(refractive index, n and extinction coefficient, k) of thermochromic coatings based in undoped anddoped vanadium dioxide thin coatings deposited on glass for use as an intelligent window - awindow that can change the optical properties in response to the temperature. From experimentalresults it can be seen that the vanadium dioxide coating prepared by Atmospheric Chemical VapourDeposition shows a switching efficiency of about 30% at 2500 nm. In the visible range thetransmittance and the reflectance does not change with the temperature both for the undoped and Nbdoped VO2. For the Nb doped vanadium dioxide coating the switching efficiency is about 20% at2500 nm. From the numerical simulations a n=2.89 and k=1.33 above Tc and n=2.39 and k=0.52below Tc (at wavelength of 2500 nm) were determined for the undoped vanadium dioxide coating.The Nb doped vanadium dioxide coating calculations results on n= 2.45 and k=1.56 above Tc andn=1.92 and k=0.88 below Tc

    Notes: New experimental methods for investigations of phase formation during SHS have beenestablished. First experiments using penetrating synchrotron radiation and energy dispersivedetectors for different classes of complex inorganic materials were carried out at ESRF (Grenoble,France) and Daresbury (UK). A new and very sensitive thermal imaging method (Thermal ImagingTechnique (TIT)) based on continuous registration of the whole combustion process by using highlysensitive IR-camera and software developed by MIKRON Instruments Co. (USA) was used forprecise registration of the combustion parameters. SHS was performed on different types of pureand doped complex inorganic materials in pellet and powder form in a range of dc magnetic fieldsup to 20 T and in electrical field strengths up to ±220 kV/m. The dc magnetic field was appliedduring the reaction, supplied either by a permanent magnet (transverse, up to 1.1 T) or by anelectromagnet (longitudinal, up to 20 T). The dc electrical field was applied along the direction ofthe combustion wave front propagation. The combined processes of SHS and SLS (Selective LaserSintering) of 3D articles for different powdered compositions were optimized with laser irradiationpower

    Notes: The results of a new potentiometric technique for in situ diagnostics of self-propagatinghigh-temperature synthesis (SHS) of different complex oxides are presented. This technique isbased on electrochemical processes. The characteristic peaks attributed to the electric responsesfrom cation streams of alkali, alkaline-earth and some elements of group VI are discovered and therespective routes of the corresponding chemical reactions found
