In the field of glass science and technology, as well as for historical glasses, a remarkable
importance is devoted to the understanding of the interaction between the glass surfaces …

High resolution Na 1s, O 1s and Si 2p core level XPS spectra of six Na2O–SiO2 glasses
ranging in composition from 100 to 45mol% SiO2 have been collected using the Kratos Ultra …

Core-level and valence-level X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), developed in the late
1950's and 1960's by Siegbahn and coworkers (Siegbahn et al. 1969; Carlson 1975; Barr …

Conventional X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and synchrotron radiation XPS
(SRXPS) were used to probe the chemical state properties of stibnite (Sb2S3), a large-band …

The transesterification activity of several solid base catalysts in biodiesel production was
systematically studied and evaluated at room temperature. Commercialized calcined …

The use of marble sludge as precursor for new alkali activated materials was assessed
studying three different curing conditions (air, humid and water immersion, respectively) …

We used an advanced charge compensation system on an X-ray Photoelectron
Spectrometer to yield linewidths from O 1s, Si 2p and Pb 4f spectra of 1.22, 1.35, and 1.10 …

In this study, the potential of rice husk ash (RHA) to act as an adsorbent for treating dye-
containing wastewater was demonstrated. The RHA used in this study contained 91.7 …

Pore wetting is of importance to many industrial processes, such as microfluidics, petroleum
engineering, CO 2 storage and biophysical processes. Due to lack of measurement …

Motivated by the advantages of two-electrode flash sintering over normal sintering, we have
investigated the effect of an external electric field on the viscosity of glass. The results show …
