Optical characterization of multi-scale morphologically complex heterogeneous media – Application to snow with soot impurities

Sophia Haussener, Xiaoyu Dai

A multi-scale methodology for the radiative transfer analysis of heterogeneous media composed of morphologically-complex components on two distinct scales is presented. The methodology incorporates the exact morphology at the various scales and utilizes vo ...

Mechanisms of perfect absorption in nano-composite systems

Olivier Martin, Sebastian Mader

Near-perfect absorption across the entire VIS based on metallic nano-composite materials was realized experimentally by Hedayati et.al. in 2011 and optimized based on simulations by Etrich et.al. in 2014. However, both works did not reveal the mechanisms t ...

The effects of radiation on ablative heat shields during atmospheric entry

Nikhil Banerji

Spacecraft employ composite materials as Thermal Protection Systems (TPS) to survive entering a planetary atmosphere at hypersonic speeds. Under intense convective and radiative heating from the surrounding shock layer, these composites decompose and erode ...

Optical Thickness Measurements of Vacuum Ultraviolet Radiation in the X2 Expansion Tube

Umar Sheikh

Experiments were conducted in the X2 expansion tube to measure vacuum ultraviolet radiation from shock layers representative of reentry conditions at flight equivalent velocities of 10.0 and 12.2 km/s. Cylindrical models of varying lengths were used to mak ...

Inner-shell magnetic dipole transition in Tm atoms: A candidate for optical lattice clocks

Sergey Fedorov

We consider a narrow magneto-dipole transition in the Tm-169 atom at the wavelength of 1.14 mu m as a candidate for a two-dimensional-optical lattice clock. Calculating dynamic polarizabilities of the two clock levels [Xe]4f(13)6s(2)(J = 7/2) and [Xe]4f(13 ...

Light trapping in solar cells: numerical modeling with measured surface textures

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Thomas Andreas Lanz

We present and experimentally validate a computational model for the light propagation in thin-film solar cells that integrates non-paraxial scalar diffraction theory with non-sequential ray-tracing. The model allows computing the spectral layer absorbance ...

Influence of Thermocouple Thermal Inertia in Impingement Heat Transfer Experiments Using Transient Techniques

Peter Ott, Alexandros Terzis, Bernhard Weigand, Guillaume Wagner

A typical transient heat transfer experiment for an impingement cooling configuration requires usually a temperature step in the flow. A moving isotherm of the liquid crystal surface coating is then monitored using a video camera. However, for small imping ...
