Solar control coatings and methods of forming solar control coatings
A coated article includes a substrate and a coating applied over at least a portion of the substrate. The coating includes at least one metallic layer formed from one or more silver compounds doped with at least one metal selected from Groups 3 to 15 of the periodic table of the elements. Also disclosed are capsules that can absorb electromagnetic energy as well as a process of forming an antimony-doped tin oxide coating layer.

a second dielectric layer formed over at least a portion of the first metallic layer;
a second metallic layer formed over at least a portion of the second dielectric layer; and
a third dielectric layer formed over at least a portion of the second metallic layer,
wherein at least one of the metallic layers is formed from a material comprising one or more silver compounds doped with iron and an additional metal selected from Groups 3 to 15 of the periodic table of the elements, and
wherein the doped silver compound comprises in the range of 50% to 89% silver based on total solids weight of the doped silver compound.
