Abstract Scope |
The coating of materials with thin films has applications in numerous areas . This work will highlight the use of modelling applied to thin films used on glazing to achieve energy demand reduction.
This work will discuss the growth of one of the critical areas within the low emissivity coatings, the interface between silver and the transparent conducting oxide. . These systems will be used to illustrate the power of these methods in identifying very complicated growth processes that are critical in these materials. We will show how the models can help understand the role of experimental parameters such as deposition energy, the arriving species and Argon co-deposition on the morphology of the films.
To achieve simulations on these systems that realistically model the experimental processes new modelling techniques have been developed to allow the modelling over realistic timescales. |
