17、pment. Even though spectral transmittance of fine ceramics thin films are specified for each product, the refractive index and optical property change when water vapor or other vapor is adsorbed to the surface of fine ceramics thin films, because, generally, fine ceramics thin films have a columnar

18、and voided structure. For this matter, an International Standard that could evaluate the reliability under a range of humidity was required. This International Standard provides test methods that will easily and accurately evaluate effects of humidity on optical properties of fine ceramic coatings.

19、By establishing this International Standard, it aims for a rapid spread of this test method that will then lead to further growth of the industry.

30、n films sometimes possess a voided micro columnar structure, depending on film deposition conditions. If a fine ceramics thin film with a voided structure is exposed to a certain atmosphere with humidity, moisture in the atmosphere adsorbs on surfaces of the columns consisting the voided structures.

31、 The quantity of adsorbed water is affected by hydrostatic vapor pressure in the atmosphere. Depending on the quantity of water adsorbed, the refractive index of thin films changes, resulting in the change in transmittance and reflectance. To evaluate effects of water adsorption on to surface of voi

32、ds of fine ceramics films on film optical properties, it is necessary to measure optical properties under a certain atmosphere, typically in an atmosphere with a high humidity. In addition to the measurements under a high humidity, for the sake of comparison, it is also necessary to measure the prop

33、erties in vacuum, i.e. under the condition without water adsorption and low humidity. By comparing optical transmittance measured in vacuum, low humidity, and high humidity conditions, the stability of fine ceramics thin films shall be evaluated.5 Ambient room environmentThe test shall be carried ou

34、t under an ambient laboratory room atmosphere where deviations in the temperature and humidity are small. In particular, to prevent the condensation of water in the environmental mini-chamber, after removing the mini-chamber from the humidity-temperature control chamber to the laboratory room, the a

35、mbient temperature should be controlled to a certain range. Recommended laboratory room conditions are the following:a) temperature: 23 C 2 C;b) relative humidity: below 70 %.NOTE Attention is needed to dew condensation when environment temperature is low compared to that in the humidity-temperature

36、 control chamber.6 Test pieceThe test piece shall comprise a single layer or multilayer of thin films of fine ceramic deposited on to the surface of a plate or film substrate, such as glass, polymer material, with no restriction of material for 2 ISO 2014 All rights reservedBS ISO 17861:2014ISO 1786

37、1:2014(E)the substrate if it is enough transparent in a certain range to measure transmittance of thin films. If it fits the environmental mini-chamber, in terms of size and shape, any test piece is acceptable.7 Measuring apparatus7.1 Apparatus configurationa) Spectrophotometer: Double beam method,

38、wavelength accuracy 0,2 nm or less at UV-visible light and 1,0 nm or less at near-infrared range, repeatability of wavelength setting 0,1 nm or less at UV-visible light and 0,5 nm or less at near infrared range. For UV-visible and near-infrared range measurements, the range of 300 nm to approximatel

39、y 2 500 nm is desirable. The use of the integrating sphere for photometer is recommended. In the case of measurements in a range in infrared and far-infrared, the wavelength range can be expanded by using an appropriate spectrometer.b) Environmental mini-chamber: An airtight container which could ma

40、intain the test sample in vacuum and low- and high-humidity environments for the measurements of the spectral of each environment. Build two windows with transparent quartz glass with the sample fixed inside the chamber for the measurement of light transmittance. Also build an air inlet and exhaust

41、ports, each with a valve. It is necessary to confirm that there is no vacuum leak from the chamber when all the valves are closed. In case of necessity, check the leak rate of the chamber by using a vacuum gauge.The spectrometry device configuration is shown in Figure 1. Example of the blueprint is

The type does not matter only if the ultimate pressure is less than 40 Pa and if the pumping spee

44、d is larger than 1,0 l/s.d) Temperature/humidity controlled chamber: Use types that can set the temperature at 23 C and that can set the relative humidity range from 40 % to 80 %. It is desirable to measure the humidity around the test sample using a hygrometer.7.2 Spectrometer calibrationPerform a

45、wavelength and transmittance calibration for the spectrophotometer apparatus as followsa) Wavelength calibration: The test method which uses optical glass filter, didymium, or holmium oxides shall be applied. For an infrared range, polystyrene can be used as a wavelength standard.b) Baseline correct

46、ion: Set spectral transmittance to 100 % in the range of the measuring wavelength by using the baseline adjustment function of the apparatus by measuring the transmittance of the environmental mini-chamber without setting a test piece in the chamber.Other baseline correction methods, e.g. correction

47、 for air, are acceptable, though the method applied should be reported.8 Environmental conditions and control proceduresEvacuate or expose the test piece to a required environmental condition in a temperature/humidity control chamber prior to optical transmittance measurements. The test piece should

48、 not be taken out from the environmental mini-chamber during a series of measurements of vacuum, low-humidity, and high-humidity conditions. Measurement environmental conditions recommended are vacuum, temperature of 23 C 2 C and R.H. of 80 % 2 %, and temperature of 23 C 2 C and R.H. of 40 % 2 % as

49、described in the following list. If necessary, the environmental test sequence may be modified.a) Vacuum: Evacuate the environmental mini-chamber containing a test piece inside by connecting one of its ports to a vacuum pump. Evacuate the chamber for longer than 30 min.NOTE To reduce the amount of water remaining in thin films after the evacuation, the environmental mini-chamber may be heated up to 130 C during evacuation. However, the mini-chamber is cooled to room temperature prior to the transmittance measurement.b)
