Fabrication, Characterization, and Simulation of Glass Devices with AlN Thin-Film Transducers for Excitation of Ultrasound Resonances

We present the fabrication of 570-mu m-thick millimeter-sized soda-lime-silicate float-glass blocks with a 1-mu m-thick AlN thin-film piezoelectric transducer sandwiched between thin metallic electrodes and deposited on the top surface. The electromechanic ...

Novel daylighting system based on advanced embedded optical microstructures for various facade orientation and climates

Jing Gong

The design of highly glazed building has become a worldwide trend in modern architecture. However, glazing may induce large thermal loss in winter while increase cooling load in summer, and it may also cause glare. In order to solve the problems, a novel m ...

Towards novel glazing with seasonal dynamics based on micro compound parabolic concentrators

André Gabriel Kostro, Josef Andreas Schuler, Jing Gong

Thermal loss and overheating caused by glazing is a key issue in reducing CO2 emission and energy consumption of buildings. A novel glazing based on micro compound parabolic concentrators (CPCs) is proposed. The glazing consists of a polymer layer with emb ...

Oxygen Distribution of Fluorine-doped Tin Oxide Films Coated on Float Glass along Depth Before and After Heat Treatment

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi

Fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) films were deposited on float glass to create low-emissivity glass (low-E glass) by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD). Heat treatments were carried out to assess its antioxidant properties. The surface mo ...
