The effect of temperature was studied between the nominal temperature range of 300-600°C, using both in-situ heating and post annealing. The optical behavior was investigated by advanced spectrophotometry devices in visible, near and infrared spectral ranges. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to show the microstructure, and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) to identify the phases and to compare the samples'pattern prepared at different temperatures.text::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
