Mechanical Behavior of Ion-Exchanged Alkali Aluminosilicate Glass Ceramics by Bruno M. F. Nunes, André Dinis, Jorge C. Fernandes, Rui M. Almeida, Luís F. Santos

“…The glass ceramics were then subjected to an ion exchange treatment in a KNO₃ bath, in order to further enhance the mechanical properties, without hindering the optical transmittance. The combination of heat treatment and chemical treatment resulted in a cumulative hardness increase of ~25%, from 620 ± 10 HV, for the as-cast glass and from 773 ± 23 HV for the ion-exchanged glass ceramic. …”

PS1-11aop: Probing the Mass-loss History of a Luminous Interacting Supernova Prior to Its Final Eruption with Multiwavelength Observations by Adaeze L. Ibik, Maria R. Drout, Raffaella Margutti, David Matthews, V. Ashley Villar, Edo Berger, Ryan Chornock, Kate D. Alexander, Tarraneh Eftekhari, Tanmoy Laskar, Ragnhild Lunnan, Ryan J. Foley, David Jones, Dan Milisavljevic, Armin Rest, Daniel Scolnic, Peter K. G. Williams

“…Taken together, the multiwavelength properties of PS1-11aop are consistent with a CSM density profile with multiple zones. The early optical emission is consistent with the SN blastwave interacting with a dense and confined CSM shell, which contains multiple solar masses of material that was likely ejected in the final <10–100 yr prior to the explosion, (∼0.05−1.0 M _⊙ yr ^−1 at radii of ≲10 ^16 cm). …”

The Relationship between the Structure and Thermal Properties of Bi2O3-ZnO-B2O3 Glass System by Sung-Hung Lan, Chin-Tung Lee, Yi-Sheng Lai, Chien-Chon Chen, Hsi-Wen Yang

“…Due to high-temperature melting, the bismuth-doped borate glasses have changed into dark/black from original transparent yellow and the light transmittance will decrease, so it is not used in optical applications. The thermal properties of glass are measured by a thermomechanical analyzer (TMA), and the glass structure is analyzed by FTIR and XPS. …”
