Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLaser-Induced Breakdown and Detonation in Particle-Laden SystemsKonstantin VolkovSimulation of the interaction of a laser pulse with gas-droplet and gas-particle mixtures plays an important role in environmental and engineering applications. The injection of liquid droplets or metal particle causes optical breakdown on the individual droplet or particle and leads to a drop of the detonation minimum pulse energy of the mixture. Mathematical models of various stages of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 4 Mar 2015 · 7,348 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermining Optical Constants of Selenium Thin Films using the Envelope MethodNehad M. Tashtoush, Osamah ALkasassbehTwo Selenium thin films were deposited on glass substrates using thermal evaporation technique. The optical constants (refractive index, absorption coefficient and extinction coefficient and energy gap) were calculated using the Transmittance (T) spectrums of the films in the spectral range of 500-900 nm. The envelope method was used to determine optical constants. The calculated refractive index was found to be … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 15 Feb 2013 · 6,337 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCritical Retrospect on Conventional and Luminescent Solar Concentration DevicesHamzah Abdul-Rahman, Chen WangProblem statement: Conventional solar concentrators are only sensitive for the beam radiation and they function poorly in overcast sky conditions. Even under a clear sky condition, trackers are always needed for conventional solar concentrators. Static concentrators always come with a poor concentration rate without a tracker and the light concentrated by normal Luminescent Solar Concentrators (LSC) could not be transported … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2010 · 6,924 accessesView PDFCite
