Abstract

We determined the optical constants of a vanadium dioxide (VO2) thermochromic film deposited on glass substrate by ellipsometry in wavelength range from 380 nm to 1700 nm. The optical constants were employed to design the optimal stacked thin film structure for smart windows which control the solar radiation and heat transmission from the viewpoint of high luminous transmission.
