摘要
An all-solid-state switchable mirror with Mg-Ni thin film was prepared for basic research on a new type of smart window. The device has a multilayer of Mg-Ni/Pd/Ta2O5/WO3/indium tin oxide/glass and can switch reversibly from a reflective state to a transparent one. The durability of the device was investigated by a cyclic switching test. Though a transmittance change was slightly decreased, the device showed high durability up to 2000 switching cycles. We found that the degradation was related with the damaged surface of Mg-Ni thin film and the diffusion of Ni and Pd atoms into Ta2O5 thin film during a cyclic switching test.
