Material mixtures offer new possibilities for synthesizing coating materials with tailored optical and mechanical properties. We present experimental results on mixtures of $\mathrm{Hf}{\mathrm{O}}_2$ , $\mathrm{Zr}{\mathrm{O}}_2$ , and ${\mathrm{Al}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_3$ , pursuing applications in UV coating technology, while the mixtures are prepared by magnetron sputtering, ion beam sputtering, plasma ion-assisted deposition (PIAD), and electron beam evaporation without assistance. The properties investigated include the refractive index, optical gap, thermal shift, and mech anical stress. The first high reflectors for UV applications have been deposited by PIAD.
