This work deals with issues of electrochromism and making active electrochromic film of titanium dioxide. By using various precursors consisting titanium element active film was electrodeposited on glass substrates covered with transparent conductive thin-film In2O3:Sn (ITO). Electrochromic characteristics of these substrates that were electrodeposited for different times and with different voltage have been studied. Than there has been studied the impact of various annealing temperatures on electrochromic characteristics.

abstract: Mechanical behavior of metallic thin films at room temperature (RT) is relatively well characterized. However, measuring the high temperature mechanical properties of thin films poses several challenges. These include ensuring uniformity in sample temperature and minimizing temporal fluctuations due to ambient heat loss, in addition to difficulties involved in mechanical testing of microscale samples. To address these issues, we designed and analyzed a MEMS-based high temperature tensile testing stage made from single crystal silicon. The freestanding thin film specimens were co-fabricated with the stage to ensure uniaxial loading. Multi-physics simulations of Joule heating, incorporating both radiation and convection heat transfer, were carried out using COMSOL to map the temperature distribution across the stage and the specimen. The simulations were validated using temperature measurements from a thermoreflectance microscope. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Materials Science and Engineering 2016
