Popis: Ti and N were implanted into soda lime glass to doses up to 4.5×1017 cm−2 to reduce solar load and infrared transmission. Analysis of the Ti+N implant distributions by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry and x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed profiles which closely followed each other as designed by the selection of implant energies. XPS, x‐ray diffraction, and selected area electron diffraction in transmission electron microscopy also confirmed the existence of a crystalline B1‐type, cubic TiN layer, 140 nm wide, at doses greater than 9×1016 cm−2. Optical measurements showed that the fraction of infrared radiation reflected was increased by almost a factor of 4 compared to an increase of 1.8 in the visible region. The percentage of the total solar energy rejected reached 80% at the highest dose, indicating that the buried TiN layer is highly effective in reducing solar energy transmission.
