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 …

Porous ceramic materials are currently used as volumetric sunlight absorbers in
concentrating solar power systems. As the efficiency of thermodynamic cycles rapidly …

Planetary remote sensing of regolith surfaces requires use of theoretical models for
interpretation of constituent grain physical properties. In this work, we review and critically …

Hematite is an iron oxide very important for the study of climatic evolution of Mars. It can
occur in two forms: red and grey, mainly depending on the granulometry of the samples …

A well-established constraint on the size of non-porous olivine grains or the porosity of
aggregates consisting of small olivine grains from prominent narrow peaks in thermal …

In this work we describe a new method for the derivation of the optical constants of a
particulate sample by means of the Hapke theory, starting from directional-hemispherical …

Hematite is an iron oxide that is very important for the study of climatic evolution of Mars. It
can occur in three forms: nanophase (dark purple), fine-grained (red) and coarse-grained …

Square nickel mesh perforated with micron scale holes exhibits extraordinary transmission
due to propagating surface plasmon polaritions (PSPP) combined with cavity modes …

Measurements of visible and near-infrared reflection (0.38–5 μm) and mid-to-far-infrared
emission (5–200 μm) from telescope and satellite remote-sensing instruments make it …

Proper analysis of satellite and rover thermal infrared emissivity spectra taken at nadir and
off-nadir angles of emergence from planetary regolith surfaces requires use of theoretical …
