摘要:
A silver alloy for a reflective film of an optical recording medium which comprises silver as the primary component thereof and at least one metallic element having a melting point lower than that of silver as a first additive element. The first additive element is preferably aluminum, indium, tin, bismuth, gallium, zinc, strontium, calcium or germanium. Preferably, the silver alloy further comprises, as a second additive element, at least one of platinum, gold, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium, palladium, lead, copper, manganese, silicon, nickel, chromium, cobalt, yttrium, iron, scandium, zirconium, titanium, niobium, molybdenum, tantalum, tungsten, hafnium, lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, thulium, ytterbium, magnesium and boron.
摘要:
The present invention is a silver alloy including silver as the main component and at least one precious metal element as a first dopant element, and excellent in reflectance maintenance property. In the present invention, the first dopant element is preferably platinum, gold, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium and iridium. Also, in the present invention, the silver alloy preferably includes, as a second dopant element, at least one element selected from copper, manganese, silicon, chromium, nickel, cobalt, iron, scandium, zirconium, niobium, molybdenum, tantalum, tungsten, indium, tin, lead, aluminum, calcium, germanium, gallium, bismuth, antimony, strontium, hafnium, gadolinium, samarium, neodymium, lanthanum, cerium, ytterbium and europium.
摘要:
A thin film for a reflection film or a semi-transparent reflection film, which has a compound phase comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of a nitride, an oxide, a complex oxide, a nitroxide, a carbide, a sulfide, a chloride, a silicide, a fluoride, a boride, a hydride, a phosphide, a selenide and a telluride of gallium, palladium or copper, dispersed in a matrix formed of silver or a silver alloy. The compound phase in the thin film may include at least one compound selected from the group consisting of nitride, oxide, complex oxide, nitroxide, carbide, sulfide, chloride, silicide, fluoride, boride, hydride, phosphide, selenide and telluride of silver. The thin film of the present invention minimizes the deterioration of the reflectance even after a long period of use, and can prolong the life of various devices which use the thin film as a reflection film, such as an optical recording medium and a display. The thin film can be also applied to a semi-reflective/semi-transparent film used in the optical recording medium.
