Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of the Edges of a Backside Diffusive Reflector on the External Quantum Efficiency of Luminescent Solar Concentrators: Experimental and Computational ApproachMauro Pravettoni, Cristina S. Polo Lòpez, Robert P. KennyLuminescent Solar Concentrators (LSCs) have been proposed in the 1970s as cheap planar concentrators for residential applications and nowadays represent a novel idea with excellent perspectives for building integration photovoltaics. The interest in LSCs has increased in the last years, due to improved stability of luminescent dyes, the introduction of quantum dots and nanorods and the overall reported increase in … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2016 · 8,368 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractpH Mediated Control Synthesis of Lanthanide-Doped YPO4 Upconversion Nano/MicrocrystalsMeiling Tan, Shuwei Hao, Xiangbin Meng et al.A pH-mediated rational control over the phase transformation, morphology and size of lanthanide doped YPO4 nano/microcrystals has been accomplished using a hydrothermal route. The morphology of the resulting particles evolves from the spheres, to the nanoflakes and finally to the nanorods when increasing the pH value of the reaction solution from 1 to 9, while the induction of crystal phase … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 1 Jun 2015 · 7,936 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProblems of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic RaysAnna V. UrysonCosmic rays are energetic particles coming to the Earth from space. They bombard the atmosphere producing cascades of particles that spread over a large area when they reach the ground. Cosmic ray energies vary in the wide band from about 108 eV up to few 1020 eV. It is established that most particles with energies of ~ (108-109) eV come … …Space Science International, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 6 Dec 2014 · 13,865 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComposition Dependent Structural and Thermal Properties of SM2O3 Doped Zinc Fluoroborate GlassesSudha D. Kamath, Akshatha Wagh, M.P. AjithkumarGlasses based on Sm3+ doped zinc fluoroborate have been synthesized and characterized. Formation of glass has been investigated in the 30 ZnF2-20 TeO2-(50-x) B2O3-x Sm2O3 matrix. Fast quenching is required to prevent melt crystallization and adequate heat treatment to diminish thermal stress, which results in an efficient amorphous material. The Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 15 Jul 2014 · 7,246 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Cosmic Microwave Background: A Strange CharacteristicA. DinculescuThe ratio of the self-gravitational energy density of the scattering particles in the universe to the energy density of the scattered photons in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is the same in any volume of space. These two energy densities are equal at a radiation temperature on the order of the present CMB temperature. …Space Science International, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 11 Dec 2013 · 7,219 accessesView PDFCite
