The use of metal nanoparticles dispersed in an optically clear matrix by potters and
glassmakers from the Bronze Age up to the present time is reviewed from the solid state …

The increase in the presence of 'ochre'in African Middle Stone Age contexts has been
employed, together with changes in human biology and behaviour, to support the …

Gold ruby glass and lustre ceramics are the almost unique examples of physical colors in
the cultural heritage. The main physical effect at the origin of their color is the excitation of …

A mechanism for the development of nanocoatings for the tiles industry by using copper
nanoparticles has been proposed. A standard processing procedure in which ceramics were …

The realistic structures of CuO, CuO 2 and Cu 2 O were completely optimized using density
functional theory approach. The different structures were optimized to study the structural …

The moon-white glaze was successfully reproduced with the addition of 0.02 wt% silicon
carbide (SiC) for supplying carbon (C) and reducing iron oxide (Fe 2 O 3) at 1250° C. Effects …

In this study, a triaxial glaze system consisting of red clay, kaoline, quartz, MnO, CuO and
CoO is systematically developed to produce gold-bronze raw metallic glazes for stoneware …

[cat] En el present treball es fa una proposta d'estudi de materials arqueològics ceràmics
vidrats procedents dels principals centres productors de la Península Ibèrica amb una …

The aim of this investigation was to develop lustre glazed Iznik tiles and characterization of
nanoclusters which is responsible for the metallic shine in the lustre layer. Traditional Iznik …

Lustre is defined as “metal-glass nanocomposite thin layer composed by dispersing copper
or silver nano particles in silica based glassy matrix”. The technique is based on a specific …
