Here we present a confocal Fe K-edge μ-XANES method (where XANES stands for X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy) for the analysis of Fe oxidation state in heterogeneous and one-side-polished samples. The new technique ...

The paper presents a novel concept of solar thermal panel specifically intended for building integration, aiming at a higher architectural quality and at a reduction of installation costs. The panel consists of a low-emissivity ...

Human interaction with multimedia devices occurs predominantly over inorganic glass surfaces. Scratch-induced damage is a primary limitation in the suitability of brittle glasses for this purpose. However, neither truly ...

This contribution is devoted to the study of morphology and magnetic properties of sodium borosilicate glasses with different concentrations (15, 20, and 25 wt.%) of α Fe2O3 in an initial furnace charge. These glasses were ...

Presently, fiber reinforced materials are used for many industrial applications. Laser transmission welding (LTW) is a suitable method to join these materials. For multiple thermoplastics, the weld seam quality is affected ...
