Abstract
A mixed alloy of TiO2 and SiO2 has been obtained using a 3-kW solar furnace. Films of the TiO2-SiO2 alloy applied onto a surface of glass and silicon plates exhibit high strength and adhesion, are transparent in the spectral range of sensitivity of solar cells, and can be used as effective antireflection coatings. It is established that adding TiO2 to SiO2 improves the optical properties of oxide coatings.
