Optical photothermal infrared (O-PTIR) is a recently developed molecular spectroscopy technique that allows to noninvasively obtain chemical information on organic and inorganic samples at submicrometric scale. The high spatial resolution (≈450 nm), lack of sample preparation, comparability the spectral results traditional Fourier transform make it promising candidate for analysis cultural heritage. In this work, potential O-PTIR noninvasive characterization small heritage objects (few cubic...
Abstract This manuscript explores the potential of macro-X-ray fluorescence (MA-XRF) for non-invasive analysis heritage textiles. XRF, especially with portable instruments, is a well-known technique non-destructive examination various cultural objects. It allows elemental composition based on single-point measurements. However, large, or complex textiles require numerous points to identify materials used and correctly interpret spectra. MA-XRF takes this type research next level, as it...
OM&T | Moser Baer Technologies is investigating the approach of texturing glass up to Gen5 size (1.1 × 1.3 m <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> ) by nano-imprinting techniques. For application thin film silicon solar cells nano-imprinted 2D periodic gratings were successfully developed and tested as light trapping textures that can realize an increased cell efficiency and/or allow reduce thickness absorber layers. Reliable...
AbstractAbstractA series of stucco marble samples was prepared in the laboratory. All ingredients were selected and treated according to data found literature. The used establish experimental conditions necessary for recovery organic modifier paste surface coating. Parameters describe composition possible alteration coating, using calculated from amino acid analysis by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) fatty gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS), respectively.A...
Two types of nano-imprinted 2D grating textures were tested on their light trapping performance for thin film Si tandem solar cells in combination with various TCO’s. The rough TCO layers like LPCVD ZnO leads to double textured superstrates that exhibit at least a similar capability as the state-of-the-art reference while using thinner layers. Further optimization AR air/glass interface has potential >13% devices and absorber
This paper states 16 principles for the long term retention and preservation of digital geographic information. The is mainly aimed at public sector information providers in Europe (particularly those involved mapping cadastre) with intention highlighting significance fundamental concepts data archiving. Geographic are agencies, but also archives preserving among a wider range A supplementary objective that may provide useful all types right around world. There many reasons why people wish...
OM&T | Moser Baer Technologies is investigating the approach of using periodically textured glass in combination with an optimized TCO for improved light trapping. Diffraction next to scattering can then be used enhance path-length incoming and this enables use relatively thin front layers. Optical absorption measurements by integrating sphere were evaluate different textures TCO/silicon stacks. Solar cell processing was verify results. It found that 2D grating texture a layer lead 20%...
AbstractEmbossed wallpapers made by the Parisian manufacturer Paul Balin dating from end of nineteenth century were investigated to gain a better insight into production processes. The study focussed on catalogue (reference number BP584) kept at Royal Museums Art and History Belgium in Brussels, presenting luxurious collection imitating gilt leather. Through combination both technical examinations physico-chemical analyses, different steps processes materials (paper fibres, pigments,...
This contribution mainly focusses on the recent research and conservation of a feathered headdress from Austral Islands in collections The Royal Museums Art History Brussels. It goes into several steps choices curation conservation, proposes for future exhibiting such valuable significant things cultural heritage indigenous property.
