Figures & data

Figure 1. Illustration of the general process of high throughput material synthesis and characterization, which involves combining theoretical material theory, modeling, and material database development. The diagram shows that this process typically involves multiple stages, such as design and synthesis, characterization, and data analysis.

Figure 2. Illustrates two different approaches to high throughput material synthesis and screening. A combinatorial thin film material synthesis method is shown, where the thin film fabrication process is integrated in parallel using spatially addressable arrays of samples.

Figure 5. An illustration of a SnO2 film on a polycrystalline CoNb2O6 substrate, where each grain of the substrate allows the growth of SnO2 with a unique orientation relationship. The film consists of two types of SnO2: stable rutile (r-) SnO2 on some grains, and metastable scrutinyite-structured SnO2 on others.

Figure 6. Illustration of high throughput material characterization which shows a schematic of high throughput composition and microstructure characterization using micro-beam X-ray fluorescence and diffraction. High throughput band-gap characterization based on optical transmission and transport property characterization based on ultrafast pulsed laser excitation can also be seen.
