Thin films of transition metal compositions formed with magnesium that are metals, alloys, hydrides or mixtures of alloys, metals and/or hydrides exhibit reversible color changes on application of electric current or hydrogen. Thin films of these materials are suitable for optical switching elements
Thin films of transition metal compositions formed with magnesium that are metals, alloys, hydrides or mixtures of alloys, metals and/or hydrides exhibit reversible color changes on application of electric current or hydrogen. Thin films of these materials are suitable for optical switching elements, thin film displays, sun roofs, rear-view mirrors and architectural glass.

1. A switching device comprising a substrate and a mono-layer film capable of undergoing a reversible change in light transmittance or reflectance, said film comprising a transition metal composition which includes magnesium, said transition metal composition consisting essentially of at least one transition metal chosen from the group consisting of Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Go, Ni, Cu, Zn, Zr, Nb, Mo, Tc, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Cd, Hf, Ta, W, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, Au and Hg, wherein switching occurs by the formation or decomposition of a hydride. 2. A switching device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transition metal composition is a metal, an alloy, a hydride or mixture of metals, alloys and/or hydrides. 3. A switching device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the transition metal composition is an alloy of Mg and a transition metal chosen from the group consisting of Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn. 4. A switching device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the alloy is Mg2Ni, Mg2Fe or Mg2Co. 5. A switching device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transition metal composition is a ternary combination of two transition metals and magnesium. 6. A switching device as claimed in claim 5, wherein the ternary combination comprises magnesium and two metals chosen from the group consisting of Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn. 7. A switching device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the film is NixCo1-xMgy,where 0xTi1-x(0xTi1-x(02,NiZr2,Nb and Ta alloys. 9. A display device incorporating at least one switching device as claimed in claim 1. 10. An optical recording device incorporating at least one switching device as claimed in claim 1. 11. A switching device as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the film can be reversible switched from a reflective, metallic state to a transparent state. 12. A switching device comprising a substrate and a mono-layer film, said film capable of undergoing a reversible change in light transmittance or reflectance, wherein said film comprises elemental mixtures, alloys, hydrides or solutions of the following systems: Mn--Mg, Ti--Mg, Cu--Mg, Ni(7 wt % V)-Mg and Fe--Mg, or hydrides of pure Ti or pure V, wherein switching occurs by the formation or decomposition of a hydride. 13. A display device incorporating at least one switching device as claimed in claim 12. 14. An optical recording device incorporating at least one switching device as claimed in claim 12.
