“…In 2018 Liu et al., first used a tandem model to predict the thicknesses of a multilayer dielectric nanostructure, [ 123 ] with similar works appearing shortly thereafter using more refined networks. [ 107,112,145 ] Since these initial reports, tandem (bidirectional) DNN models have been used extensively in many different inverse design problems in AEM, including in chiral metamaterials, [ 112,144 ] core–shell nanoparticles, [ 148 ] plasmonic nanostructures, [ 106,145,183 ] metasurfaces, [ 111,173 ] topological photonics, [ 107,174,184 ] and dielectric resonators.
