Thin film metallic glass broad-spectrum mirror coatings for space telescope applications

The use of metallic glasses as coatings on silicon carbide substrates for applications as optical mirrors was investigated. Various alloy compositions were chosen, limited by the available method of synthesis by electric arc melting, using the rule of mixtures to predict their reflectance. After a p...
