Abstract
Considering that nanosized LaB6 has unique optical properties and ITO has been widely applied for low-emission window glass, LaB6/ITO composite films were designed and prepared on SiO2 glass substrates by DC magnetron sputtering method in this paper. AFM and HRTEM methods were used for microstructure evolution analysis, and their IR and UV spectra were measured. Results proved that dense LaB6/ITO films with amorphous structure were deposited on the substrate with strong interface bonding. Crystallizing occurred during annealing of amorphous films, and the nanosized grains formed. Compared with the as-deposited films, the annealed films showed improved optical properties. Generally, the glass with the annealed film was available with more than 80% visible light transmittance, and good reflectance on UV light range.
