Modeling of Absorption Induced by Space Radiation on Glass: A Two-Variable Function Depending on Radiation Dose and Post-Irradiation Time
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of gamma radiation on the glass optical properties have been analyzed from transmission measurements and ellipsometric characterization, and an exponential function is proposed to describe the absorption increase when the total dose rises.

Temperature dependence of the dielectric function and critical points of α-SnS from 27 to 350 K.
Hoang Tung Nguyen,Hoang Tung Nguyen,Van Long Le,Van Long Le,Thi Minh Hai Nguyen,Tae Jung Kim,Xuan Au Nguyen,Bogyu Kim,Kyu-Jin Kim,Wonjun Lee,Sunglae Cho,Young Dong Kim +11 more
TL;DR: The temperature dependences of the dielectric function and critical point (CP) energies of biaxial α-SnS were determined by fitting the data to the phenomenological expression that contains the Bose–Einstein statistical factor and the temperature coefficient for describing the electron–phonon interaction.
