The paper presents a study of structural, morphological andoptical properties of Cr2O3/Cr/Cr2O3 multilayered selective solarabsorber deposited onto stainless steel substrate at room temperatureusing an electron beam evaporation technique. XRD resultsindicated that the coatings crystallinitywas improved by increasingannealing temperature, whereas A1g mode 550 cm1 and Eg modes300, 350, and 610 cm1 of Cr2O3 were observed in the Raman results.AFM showed a columnar growth of the coatings with anaverage surface roughness of 16 nm. The refractive indices andextinction coefficients indicated that the main contribution to solarabsorption in the multilayered absorber is due to both interferenceeffect and intrinsic absorption in all the three layers. The Cr2O3/Cr/Cr2O3 multilayered solar absorber coating was found to exhibitgood solar absorptance value of 0.89 and low thermal emittancevalue of 0.25 at 100 C. These results confirmed that a selectivesolar absorber based on Cr2O3/Cr/Cr2O3 multilayered coating withoutstanding physical and chemical properties could be achieved byelectron beam evaporation technique.
