A general method of direct identification of absorption and scattering coefficients and phase
function of porous media, assumed statistically homogeneous and isotropic, has been …

A new methodology was developed to identify the spectral complex refractive index of semi-
transparent solid phases within heterogeneous media up to high temperatures. In this …

Thermal and optical properties of ceramics are dependent on radiation scattering and
cannot be determined by a knowledge of their chemical composition alone, as for single …

A set of 96 open-cell foams with growing porosities (0.35–0.95) and growing pore nominal
diameters (0.4–2.6 mm) was artificially generated to firmly connect their normal spectral …

The radiative characterization of open-cell foams made from semitransparent solids is more
complex than that made from opaque media. This study aims to understand how the …

In order to explain the macroscopic radiative behaviour of an open-cell ceramic foam,
knowledge of its solid phase distribution in space and the radiative contributions by this solid …

The radiative properties of dense ceramic Al _ 2 O _ 3 Al 2 O 3, AlN, and Si _ 3 N _ 4 Si 3 N
4 plates are investigated from the visible to the mid-infrared region at room temperature …

FOAM and cellular materials have practical importance in many applications. Examples
range from food processes, where foam can disrupt the process, to space and building …

Infrared radiative properties of 8‐mol%‐yttria‐stabilized zirconia (8YSZ) ceramics of porosity
3% as applied as electrolyte for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) were studied at room and …

In the field of thermal radiation, a current key challenge is to understand the role played by
the texture of semitransparent heterogeneous materials on their thermal radiative properties …
