Solar Energy Materials 

TL;DR: In this article, inorganic and organic electrochromic materials are discussed in the context of developing a film-based optical shutter for a window application, which allows regulation of conductive and radiative heat transfer rates, with variable optical attenuation.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive set of optical constants and a partial set of bulk optical properties are listed for clear, absorbing, and low-iron glasses used for windows, extending from the near ultraviolet to the far infrared.

TL;DR: In this article, the density of gap states in undoped and phosphorus and antimony doped a-Si:H has been determined from the absorption coefficient measurement using a constant photocurrent method to determine the value of optical absorption in the low absorption region.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of heat-mirror deposition technology including chemical vapor deposition using hydrolysis and pyrolysis reactions, dc and rf sputtering using reactive, biased and nonreactive techniques, vapor deposition and ion plating.

TL;DR: In this article, a-Si:H films of superior quality can be expected when the preparation conditions become more fully understood and the recombination processes involved in photoluminescence and photoconductivity are presented.
