In this paper, ZnO thin film is deposited on slide glass substrate using the sol-gel process. Presenting well-defined orientation of ZnO thin films Nanostructure were obtained by dip coating of zinc acetate dihydrate, monoethanolamine (MEA), de-ionized water and isopropanol alcohol. The annealed ZnO thin films were transparent ca 85-90% in visible range with an absorption edges at about 375 nm....

The use of glass beams in transparent roofs and glass fins as part of the facade is already state-of-the-art construction to achieve a transparent and lightweight appearance. Until now, mechanical fasteners made from stainless steel are used to join these structural components. Those fasteners visually interfere, require holes in the glass and cause unfavorable stress peaks in the glass. In con...

We deposited transparent ferroelectric lead zirconate titanate thin films on fused silica and contacted them via Al-doped zinc oxide (AZO) transparent electrodes with an interdigitated electrode (IDE) design. These layers, together with a TiO2 buffer layer on the fused silica substrate, are highly transparent (>60% in the visible optical range). Fully crystallized Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (PZT) films...

in this study, the preparation of transparent glass-ceramics with lithium-mica nanocrystals by melting-quenching method was investigated. the effect of heat treatment time and temperature on the crystalline phases, microstructure and transparency of the samples were studied. in order to obtain a fine microstructure, an optimum condition for heat treatment has been found to be very important in ...

Transparent materials with high strength and toughness are highly demanded as engineering for consumer electronic, structural, optical applications. In this article number 2200350 by Qiang Fu co-workers, a simple bioinspired approach is reported to achieve combination of fracture (KIC = 2.0 MPa·m1/2) transparency in lithium disilicate/apatite glass-ceramic through the creation an acicular cryst...

The Magic Lantern Data Projector allows a performer-participant to build sculptural glass forms that are projected, then algorithmically processed. The device re-envisions magic lantern slides as transparent, multifaceted three-dimensional glass boxes. The projected image is a palimpsest of coloured transparent glass forms (Figure 1). Servomotors position the boxes in front of a camera lens, wh...

The reflectance factors of transparent fibers, free delustering agent, are predicted by geometric as well as Kubelka-Munk models.&#10 Transparent fibers are simulated by a net of glass capillary tubes containing different solutions of dyestuffs. Based on the results, prediction of the reflectance factor of capillary net by geometric model is relatively better than those obtained from Kubelka-Mu...
