Accelerating the discovery of multilayer nanostructures with analytic differentiation of the transfer matrix equations

Multilayer nanostructures represent an important class of materials with tunable optical and thermal radiative properties that can be leveraged for a wide range of energy applications. We present a theoretical framework for optimizing the geometry of such structures that utilizes gradients of variou...
