Upgrading the Performance of Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Lasers: Improvement Margins and Limitations
(MDPI, 2017)
The topic of cholesteric-liquid-crystal lasers is a rapidly expanding research area in the field of soft-matter photonics. The increasing interest in this field is due to the high versatility that these lasers may possibly ...
Reversible and Non-Reversible Transformation of Magnetic Structure in Amorphous Microwires
(MDPI, 2020-07-24)
We provide an overview of the tools directed to reversible and irreversible transformations of the magnetic structure of glass-covered microwires. The irreversible tools are the selection of the chemical composition, ...
Influence of Nb on Ti Diffusion in Gamma-TiAl Intermetallics Studied by Mechanical Spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2021-01-25)
The development of intermetallic titanium aluminides has been driven by the aeronautic and aerospace industries because of the excellent mechanical properties and low density of gamma-TiAl based alloys. Up to now, several ...
Atomistic Simulations of Geopolymer Models: The Impact of Disorder on Structure and Mechanics
(ACS, 2018-06-13)
Geopolymers are hydrated aluminosilicates with excellent binding properties. Geopolymers appeal to the construction sector as a more sustainable alternative to traditional cements, but their exploitation is limited by a ...
On a Common Mistake in the Description of the Photoelectric Effect
(AIP, 2019-11-01)
The photoelectric effect is one of the key experiments taught during first- or second-year university and high school modern physics courses. It is usually the first experiment to introduce light quantization and the concept ...
Importance of the spectral emissivity measurements at working temperature to determine the efficiency of a solar selective coating
(Elsevier, 2015-09-01)
The total emissivity of the absorbing surfaces is a critical parameter in the calculation of the radiative thermal losses in solar thermal collectors. This is because the radiative heat losses have a significant economic ...
Experimental verification of the anomalous skin effect in copper using emissivity measurements
(AIP, 2013-06-20)
Spectral directional emissivity has been measured in copper between 3 and 24 μm above room temperature. The experimental spectrum shows a weak broad peak between 7 and 14 μm, which is much more acute for higher emission ...
Optical properties of metals: Infrared emissivity in the anomalous skin effect spectral region
(American Institute of Physics, 2014-09-07)
When the penetration depth of an electromagnetic wave in a metal is similar to the mean free path of the conduction electrons, the Drude classical theory is no longer satisfied and the skin effect becomes anomalous. Physical ...
First spectral emissivity study of a solar selective coating in the150–600 ºC temperature range
(Elsevier, 2013-07-20)
A complete experimental study of temperature dependence of the total spectral emissivity has been performed, for the first time, for absorber–reflector selective coatings used in concentrated solar power (CSP) systems for ...
Thermal emissivity spectra and structural phase transitions of the eutectic Mg-51%Zn alloy: A candidate for thermal energy storage
(Elsevier, 2016-11-05)
The thermal emissivity spectrum in the mid infrared range (3–21 μm) as well as its dependence on temperature between 225 and 320 °C has been obtained for the Mg-51%Zn (weight %) eutectic alloy, a candidate for thermal ...
