Abstract :
[en] Materials with broadband tunable optical propertiesare looked for in smart windows applications. Doped metal oxidespresenting dual-band visible (VIS)−near-infrared (NIR) electro-chromic properties can be used for solving such a challenge, andtheir accurate optical characterization is therefore of primeimportance. The Kubelka−Munk model is a state-of-the-art wayto optically quantify the absorption properties of materials and isoccasionally applied to plasmonic materials, even if great careshould be taken to meet the formalism hypotheses. In the presentwork, Kubelka−Munk theory is discussed in the context ofparticles of indium−tin oxide and molybdenum−tungsten oxideformulations that are used as single-NIR and both-VIS/NIR activeadvanced electrochromic materials, respectively. An analytical model is derived for particles of much smaller dimensions than theincident wavelength and is experimentally verified. A dilution method is applied to verify the plasmonic characteristics of theparticles. This study is key for the efficient characterization of the optical properties of metal oxides and plasmonic materials ingeneral, from diffuse reflectance measurements.
