Investigating the link between a layer thickness and surface relief depth in an azo poly(ether imide) by Mateusz Nieborek, Dariusz Szmigiel, Paweł Komorowski, Agnieszka Siemion, Jolanta Konieczkowska, Ewa Schab-Balcerzak, Anna Kozanecka-Szmigiel

“…We performed prolonged holographic recordings on the layers of the same azobenzene poly(ether imide), which had substantially different optical transmittances at the recording wavelength and revealed that the depths of the inscribed relief structures increased with the polymer thickness from a nondetectable value up to almost 2 µm, unaffected by the presence of a polymer-glass substrate interface in either sample. We proposed the mathematical model for the relief buildup process under irradiation and validated the topographic data by their Fourier analysis related to optical measurements of the grating diffraction efficiencies. …”

New Occurrence of Seifertite and Stishovite in Chang’E‐5 Regolith by Runlian Pang, Jing Yang, Wei Du, Aicheng Zhang, Shirong Liu, Rui Li

“…Here, we report a silica fragment consisting of seifertite, stishovite, α‐cristobalite‐like phase, and silica glass in Chang’E‐5 regolith. Both seifertite and stishovite formed via solid‐state transformation mechanism, in which seifertite formed by transition from α‐cristobalite upon pressure loading whereas stishovite may form from seifertite when postshock temperature was significant during pressure release. …”
