The optical properties of Mg-TM (TM: Ni, Co, Fe; Mg:TM ≈ 2) thin films during hydrogenation are investigated using reflection and transmission measurements. Mg-Ni and Mg-Co show an unusual behavior upon exposure to hydrogen. The nucleation of the hydride starts at the film substr

The temperature dependent optical properties of certain thin films are used in so-called thermochromic devices. As an alternative to a single layer of, e.g. VO2, which displays a temperature dependent optical transmission, we propose the use of an encapsulated metal ...
