Abstract: A method of closed loop simulation for accelerated material discovery is described. The method includes ranking a plurality of candidate systems according to corresponding properties of interest predicted by a first prediction model. The method also includes simulating a first top-N of the plurality of candidate systems according to the corresponding properties of interest predicted by the first prediction model. The method further includes re-ranking the plurality of candidate systems according to the corresponding properties of interest predicted by a second prediction model. The method also includes simulating a second top-N of the plurality of candidate systems according to the corresponding properties of interest predicted by the second prediction model.

Abstract: A coated article includes a low-emissivity (low-E) coating. The low-E coating includes at least one infrared (IR) reflecting layer of a material such as silver, gold, or the like, and a dielectric overcoat designed to increase solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of the coated article. A dielectric undercoat may also be designed to increase SHGC of the coated article in certain example embodiments. In certain example embodiments, the overcoat and/or undercoat are designed to increase SHGC while also providing for desirably high visible transmission (TY or Tvis) and desirably low normal emittance (En).

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and apparatus for forming low emissivity panels. In some embodiments, a partially fabricated panel may be provided that includes a substrate, a reflective layer formed over the substrate, and a barrier layer formed over the reflective layer such that the reflective layer is formed between the substrate and the barrier layer. The barrier layer may include a partially oxidized alloy of three or more metals. A first interface layer may be formed over the barrier layer. A top dielectric layer may be formed over the first interface layer. The top dielectric layer may be formed using reactive sputtering in an oxygen containing environment. The first interface layer may prevent further oxidation of the partially oxidized alloy of the three or more metals when forming the top dielectric layer. A second interface layer may be formed over the top dielectric layer.
