Abstract
The technique of combinatorial atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition, a recent addition to growing number of combinatorial synthesis methods, has been used to form 12 members of the TixV1-xN alloy series with 0.38 < x < 094. This series of compounds has the rock- salt structure with TiN and VN as the end members. The 12 phases, which are potentially useful as heat mirror coatings, were all synthesized in a single experiment. The structure and properties of the materials were investigated using powder X-ray diffraction and WDX. The optical properties were measured by visible-IR spectroscopy, which allows the investigation of the films suitability as solar control coatings, and optimisation as a function of composition.
