It should be kept in mind that the key component of all the polarimeters and saccharimeters mentioned in this account is a pair of Nicol prisms. These were always made from crystals of Iceland spar (optical calcite). The crystals were mostly obtained from a single quarry in East Iceland from before 1800 up to the early 1920s, and to a minor extent from another quarry in Southeast Iceland from 1...

The long-term frequency of atmospheric dust observations was investigated for the southern part of Iceland and interpreted together with earlier results obtained from northeastern (NE) Iceland (Dagsson-Waldhauserova et al., 2013). In total, over 34 dust days per year on average occurred in Iceland based on conventionally used synoptic codes for dust observations. However, frequent volcanic erup...

Associative desorption of hydrogen at edges and facets on Pt nano-particles was studied using density functional theory. The goal was to identify catalytically active sites on Pt nano-particles for the hydrogen evolution reaction. Since nano-particles used in catalysis typically contain over a thousand atoms, calculations of whole particles are too demanding and the adsorption sites were instea...
