Saturable absorption in NV-doped diamond studied by femtosecond Z-scan
Nonlinear optical absorption in commercially available diamond crystals containing nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers is investigated using femtosecond open-aperture Z-scan measurements at a wavelength of 1032 nm. Experiments were performed on a high-purity electronic-grade diamond an...

On the effects of using nonlinear springs in mono-coupled periodic structures
Abstract Many strategies are employed to control structural vibration. One of them is to design structural elements in a periodic arrangement to obtain the so-called bandgap effect. For infinite periodic structures, bandgaps are defined as frequency ranges where waves do not prop...

Unveiling Float Glass Staining Induced by an Acid‐Cleaning Product
ABSTRACT Staining of glass facades is a recurring and significant problem worldwide. This study investigates the causes of staining observed on six laminated float glass samples from four manufacturers (α, β, γ, and δ). Samples from β, γ, and δ were new, whereas those from α (α 1...

Efficient CO 2 capture from flue gas is fundamentally limited by the trade‐off between permeability, selectivity, and chemical stability. Amine‐functionalized sorbents (AFS) achieve high selectivity via strong chemisorption, but suffer from kinetic limitations, pore blocking, and...
