HiPIMS deposition of VO2 thermochromic coating for enhanced optical properties by Vu, Tuan Duc

“…Expanding from the established foundational method in chapter 4, modification to the substrate was made through development of a template-based bottom-up approach to economically produce controlled biomimetic antireflective nanostructured coatings. The Greta-oto butterfly has transparent wings with extraordinary omnidirectional anti-reflection behaviour, owing to the unusual nanostructures with random height and space distribution on its wing surface which are difficult to reproduce en masse. …”
