Measurements of ablation rate have traditionally been carried out only at normal incidence. However, in real-world applications ablation is often carried out at oblique angles, and it is useful to have prior knowledge of the ablation rate in this case. Detailed information about the angular dependence is also important for the development of ablation simulation tools, and can provide additional...

Nanosized titanium dioxide (TiO2) in its anatase form is the most frequently studied and as well as used photocatalyst. There are several syntheses procedures which enable to achieve photocatalytic TiO2. The solgel method utilizing titanium alkoxides is used most often. Alternative precursors such as titanium tetrachloride and titanyl sulphate are also frequently employed. Nowadays the environm...

A silica/electro-optic (EO) polymer phase modulator is proposed for millimeter-wave (MMW) radiation receiver with the use of a bowtie antenna. Waveguide design optimization is presented for a waveguide with an EO polymer core and silica/solgel cladding. Electrode effects on the insertion loss and poling efficiency are also analyzed and conditions for low-loss and high poling efficiency establis...

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...
