Optical Properties of Solids

Use of calcite crystal optical properties in the identification of calcareous nannofossils and Didemnid Ascidian Spicules in three stratigraphic sections in the Lut block

Crystallography is the experimental science of determining the arrangement of atoms in crystalline solids. Calcareous nanoplankton are one of the most abundant calcite unicellular planktonic organisms on the Earth. This group include coccoliths which are formed from calcite crystals. They are one of the most important microfossil groups in biostratigraphic, paleontologyl and oil exploration stu...

Investigation on Dynamic Calibration for an Optical-Fiber Solids Concentration Probe in Gas-Solid Two-Phase Flows

This paper presents a review and analysis of the research that has been carried out on dynamic calibration for optical-fiber solids concentration probes. An introduction to the optical-fiber solids concentration probe was given. Different calibration methods of optical-fiber solids concentration probes reported in the literature were reviewed. In addition, a reflection-type optical-fiber solids...

Compositional Analysis of Merck E7 Liquid Crystal Intermediates Using UltraPerformance Convergence Chromatography (UPC2) with PDA Detection

IN T RO DU C T IO N Liquid crystals combine the physical and optical properties of both liquids and solids. They flow and pour like liquids, but have some of the optical properties of solids, such as birefringence. They also react predictably to an electric current, which enables the control of light passage. Due to these properties, liquid crystals are used in many items with electronic displa...

Transient Changes of Optical Properties in Semiconductors in Response to Femtosecond Laser Pulses

In this paper we present an overview of our theoretical simulations on the interaction of ultrafast laser pulses with matter. Our dedicated simulation tool, X-ray induced Thermal And Non-thermal Transitions (XTANT) can currently treat semiconductors irradiated with soft to hard X-ray femtosecond pulses. During the excitation and relaxation of solids, their optical properties such as reflectivit...
