Abstract

In this paper, nanosilver layers for solar mirrors were deposited on white glass substrates (~4 mm thick) by DC magnetron sputtering method. The effect of the substrate temperature about (300-500 K) on the nano Ag film growth was studied. Their properties were characterized by XRD and SEM. The Ag layer followed the Torenton structural zone model at different substrate tempratures. The results showed the silver sputterd particle grow with increased the temperature but dislocation density decreased with it.
