In this study, the physical and optical properties of the material were studied, conducting a comprehensive X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis to confirm that the material exhibits a pure phase I<sub>a-3d</sub> space group characteristic of YSAG. Subsequently, the thermal expansion behavior of the single crystal fiber was investigated at various doping levels. While the overall trends remained consistent, the specific thermal expansion coefficients and curve gradients exhibited variations among YSAG single crystal fibers with differing dopant concentrations.

The irradiation was performed using a xenon arc lamp with the intensity 3 times higher than solar radiation. The analysis included studying the diffuse reflectance spectra within 0.2–2.5 μm; the optical absorption edge; the solar absorptance; FTIR and XRD spectra obtained after modifying and irradiating the samples; the adhesion of the samples to the aluminum-magnesium alloy substrate. Irradiation of the varnish leads to the appearance of integral absorption band from 295 to 700 nm, which is determined by the radicals formed by irradiation upon after breaking of the chemical bonds Si–Si, Si–C, C–C, C–O, CH<sub>2</sub>–H, C–H, and Si–O. The results allowed for determining the optimal concentration value for SiO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles that provides a 1.3-fold increase in the photostability of optical properties. The resulting modified varnishes can be used to develop thermal control coatings for spacecraft and photostable coatings for solar industry.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19564,"journal":{"name":"Optical Materials","volume":"163 ","pages":"Article 116980"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143714501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
