Investigation Of Role Of Tungsten Ions On Structural And Optical Properties Of Sodium Borosilicate Germanate Glass For Optoelectronic Applications, Mohamed Mundher, Mohammed A. Farag, Ayman A. Bendary, Mohamed Y. Hassaan, Abu Bakr El-Bediwi Jan 2023

Investigation Of Role Of Tungsten Ions On Structural And Optical Properties Of Sodium Borosilicate Germanate Glass For Optoelectronic Applications, Mohamed Mundher, Mohammed A. Farag, Ayman A. Bendary, Mohamed Y. Hassaan, Abu Bakr El-Bediwi

Al-Azhar Bulletin of Science

In the current work, the role of tungsten ions on the structural and optical properties of sodium borosilicate germinate glass with the composition [70 Na 2B4O7e15 SiO2e(15-x) (Ge2O3) e x (WO3) while, x ¼ 0,2,4, 6, 8 mol %] were studied. Fast quenching method were used to prepare the glass samples. Experimental and empirical density results confirm the amorphous nature of the prepared samples. Fourier transform infrared, FTIR, results showed N4 decreases as WO3 increases. These results suggest that the decreasing in non-bridging oxygen (NBO), back conversion BO4 to BO3, occur by the increase of WO3. Optical band gap show …


Drawing Parallels In Art Science For Collaborative Learning: A Case Study, Karen Westland Dec 2020

Drawing Parallels In Art Science For Collaborative Learning: A Case Study, Karen Westland

The STEAM Journal

This research paper explores drawing as a tool to facilitate interdisciplinary practice. Outlined is the personal experience of PhD researcher [name removed] in their physics/craft research project, combined with thoughts and opinions from collaborators gathered through group discursive interviews. Interdisciplinary projects face interpersonal and conceptually ambiguous challenges which can be addressed through adopting drawing techniques for educational purposes. Findings highlight that drawing can assist across a breadth of applications as a learning tool for everyone, regardless of drawing ability, to improve the functionality of collaborative projects. Specifically, drawing combined with other communication techniques develops a performative communicative approach that enriches …


Structuring Light For Investigating Optical Vortices, Andrew Voitiv, Mark Siemens Jan 2020

Structuring Light For Investigating Optical Vortices, Andrew Voitiv, Mark Siemens

DU Undergraduate Research Journal Archive

Vortices are well known in our world: tornadoes, hurricanes, and quickly stirred iced tea all demonstrate the vortex phenomenon. In addition to these classical fluids, vortices exist in laser light. While classical fluid vortex dynamics is one of the oldest studied physics problems, the study of optical vortices is only a few decades old. Paralleling the community’s curiosity of quantized vortices in quantum fluids, such as super fluid helium and Bose-Einstein condensate, there is immense interest in the study of optical vortices. In this article, we cover the basic theory of structuring light to generate optical vortices and then discuss …


A Brief Review Of Modern Uses Of Scattering Techniques, Daniel M. Wade, Dereth J. Drake Jun 2019

A Brief Review Of Modern Uses Of Scattering Techniques, Daniel M. Wade, Dereth J. Drake

Georgia Journal of Science

Thomson, Rayleigh, Mie, and Raman scattering are commonly used in several disciplines in science and engineering. The techniques involve the scattering of electromagnetic radiation or particles in a sample. This paper provides a brief history for each scattering method, describes the traditional laboratory approach for implementation, and discusses current uses and variations of these four techniques.
