Abstract Zircon has potential as a reliable ceramic material because it good physical properties, including low thermal conductivity, coefficient of expansion and high mechanical resistance to heat can be used for various purposes such household appliances, industry, electronics, refractories, aerospace technology. In its application, zircon needs beformed into solid ceramics. The formation cer...

Focused laser ablation by single laser pulses at varying angles of incidence is studied in two materials of interest: a solgel ~Ormocer 4! and a polymer ~SU8!. For a range of angles ~up to 70° from normal!, and for low-energy ~,20 mJ!, 40 ns pulses at 266 nm wavelength, the ablation depth along the direction of the incident laser beam is found to be independent of the angle of incidence. This a...

The photostability of dye molecules trapped in transparent solid matrices synthesized by the solgel technique was studied both experimentally and theoretically using a model with numerical and approximate analytical solutions. The model is based on a one-photon photodestruction process with the creation of an absorbing bleached molecule. We give the number of photons that different trapped dye ...

Nanomaterials have achieved remarkable technological advances in bulk materials due to their excellent physical, chemical and biological properties. cerium oxide (CeO2) nanostructured doped with Fe ions is attractive due to improvement in redox properties, transport property and surface-to-volume ratio. In this research, Fe-doped CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by s...
