  • Fabrication of photochromic device
    Patent number: 11629286
    Abstract: Method for producing a photochromic material and a component including the photochromic material, where the method comprises the steps of:-first the formation on a substrate of a layer of an essentially oxygen free metal hydride with a predetermined thickness using a physical vapor deposition process; and -second exposing the metal hydride layer to oxygen where the oxygen reacts with the metal hydride, resulting in a material with photochromic properties.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 15, 2017
    Date of Patent: April 18, 2023
    Assignee: Institutt for Energiteknikk
    Inventors: Fredrik Aleksander Martinsen, José Montero Amenedo, Smagul Karazhanov, Erik Stensrud Marstein
  • Transparent photochromic device
    Patent number: 11525180
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a metal hydride device having a variable transparency, comprising a substrate, at least one layer including a photochromic yttrium hydride having a chosen band gap, and a capping layer at least partially positioned on the opposite side of the photochromic yttrium hydride layer from the substrate, said capping layer being essentially impermeable to hydrogen and oxygen.
