Optical properties and thermal stability of AlCrON-based multilayer solar selective absorbing coating for high temperature applications

A multilayer coating comprising Cr as IR reflector, alternative AlCrN/AlCrON as absorber and AlCrO as anti-reflective layer has been designed and deposited on stainless-steel substrate by cathodic arc ion plating. It was found that the selectivity (α/ε) of multilayer coating was increased from 0.919...
