As one of the most prevalent metal oxides on Earth, iron oxide, especially α-Fe2O3 or
hematite, has been the subject of intense research for several decades. In particular, the …

Photoelectrochemical cell (PEC) water splitting using hematite as a photoanode has great
potential for harnessing solar energy to produce hydrogen. Hematite possesses several …

To address these issues with respect to the multifarious conditions existing in the different
basins of the World Ocean is a highly complicated matter and exceeds the scope of the …

Mineral dust is an important component of the climate system, affecting the radiation
balance, cloud properties, biogeochemical cycles, regional circulation and precipitation, as …

Iron oxide compounds constitute an important component of mineral dust aerosols. Several
previous studies have shown that these minerals are strong absorbers at visible …

In the last few years, several ground-based and airborne field campaigns have allowed the
exploration of the properties and impacts of mineral dust in western Africa, one of the major …

The solar optical properties of Saharan mineral dust observed during the Saharan Mineral
Dust Experiment (SAMUM) were explored based on measured size-number distributions …

Experimental estimations of the infrared refractive index of African mineral dust have been
retrieved from laboratory measurements of particle transmission spectra in the wavelength …

The instantaneous direct radiative forcing is a basis for estimating the aerosol's climate
effect, which is still one of the most uncertain factors. In this study, we incorporate eight …

A model is developed for the refractive index spectra of desert mineral dust. This model is
applicable regionally to both Asian and Saharan dust as the largest global aerosol sources …
