Synthesis and Characterizations of a Very Low Index Silica Aerogel Optical Thin Film

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

Very low index silica aerogel thin films were deposited by spin-coating silica sols synthesized by a two-step acid/base catalyzed method. The film shows an index as low as 1.117 and an optical absorption of 10 ppm.
