Lampert, C M

Papers are presented on chemical and optical properties of electrochromic nickel oxide films, a transmissive electrochromic device, amorphous tungsten oxide electrochromic coatings for solar windows, and LiF as an electrolyte for solid state electrochromic structures. Also considered are the development of a high efficiency holographic solar concentrator, solar control tunable Lippman holowindows, photodegradation studies of silver-backed polyacrylonitrile (PAN) films, and photoelectrochemical studies on spray pyrolyzed CdS films on SnO/sub 2/ substrates. Other topics include transparent heat mirror characteristics of cadmium indate, a theoretical model for the optical properties of In/sub 2/O/sub 3/, thin-film multilayer filter designs for hybrid concentration systems, and an efficient hybrid photovoltaic-photothermal solar conversion system with cogeneration. Papers are also presented on carbonitride and nitride thin films, optical properties of solid particle receiver materials, radiative heat pumps using narrow-bandgap semiconductors, and an integrating sphere spectrometer for high-temperature materials characterization.
