The present invention addresses the issue of providing an optical selective film that contributes to efficiently converting light into heat. This optical selective film is characterized in that: the optical selective film includes at least an Ag-containing layer, and an Ag diffusion prevention layer that is disposed adjacent to the Ag-containing layer; and the Ag diffusion prevention layer contains FeSi(X=1 to 2).

A solar-thermal conversion member includes a &#x3b2;-FeSiphase material. The solar-thermal conversion member exhibits a high absorptance for visible light at wavelengths of several hundred nm and a low absorptance for infrared light at wavelengths of several thousand nm and, as a consequence, efficiently absorbs visible light at wavelengths of several hundred nm and converts the same into heat and exhibits little thermal radiation due to thermal emission at temperatures of several hundred &#xb0; C. The solar-thermal conversion member may therefore efficiently absorb sunlight, provide heat, and prevent thermal radiation due to thermal emission.

A low-adhesion material containing a rare-earth element is formed as a layer or a film on a mold surface of a mold for molding a resin. A main component of the low-adhesion material is a rare-earth compound, and YOis used as an example. A content of the rare-earth compound in the low-adhesion material is not less than 40 percent by volume. Thereby, a mold for molding a resin having excellent releasability can be obtained.

A mold surface of an upper mold with which a fluid resin comes into contact has an oxide therein. The oxide contains a metal cation and an ion. Field strength is calculated based on a valence of the metal cation and ionic radius of the ion. Based on predetermined relationship established between a value of the field strength and adhesion strength between a cured resin and the mold surface, releasability between the cured resin and the mold surface is evaluated. Thereby, a method of evaluating releasability between the cured resin and the mold surface is established. With this evaluation method, a material with high releasability can readily be provided. Further, if the material with high releasability is used for the mold surface of the upper mold, a mold for molding a resin having excellent releasability can be obtained.
