Ceramic materials having melting points higher than 3000° C and suitable for structural
applications at above 2000° C are commonly known as Ultra-High Temperature Ceramics …

This paper gives a compilation of experimental data from a variety of sources of the
emissivity of materials used in high temperature applications. The data is given in the form of …

Advanced solar thermal technologies, including solar thermal collectors, solar
thermophotovoltaic systems, and concentrated solar power systems, depend heavily on …

Abstract A novel TiC-TiN/Al 2 O 3 tandem solar selective absorbing coating was successfully
deposited on Si (1 0 0) and stainless steel (SS) substrates by reactive RF magnetron …

In this work, for the first time, we studied the temperature-dependent spectral emittance of
highly refractory ceramics, eg silicon carbide (SiC) and two ultra-high temperature ceramics …

The paper encompasses deeper understanding of sintering, properties and applications of
nanostructured refractory ceramics with “hard”/” soft” ceramic phase combinations. TiB 2 …

Rail transportation has been one of the most efficient and sustainable means of mobility with
large economic value. The rail wheel flange steers on the rail track for motion with imparts of …

We recently showed that Zr 1− x Ta x B y thin films have columnar nanostructure in which
column boundaries are B-rich for x< 0.2, while Ta-rich for x≥ 0.2. Layers with x≥ 0.2 exhibit …

A brief survey is presented of the most important interaction phenomena occurring at the
solid-liquid interfaces in metal-ceramic systems at high temperatures, with special attention …

In this study, the potential of SiC-TiC nano-composites as solar absorbers has been studied.
For solar thermal applications, materials with high solar absorptance and low emittance are …
