High resolution spectroscopic techniques that are used to determine volatile concentration
in geological glasses are on the forefront for determining small scale degassing or hydration …

The aim of this investigation was to establish a Raman procedure for on‐site identification of
stained‐glass windows and their deterioration level. This study of a representative series of …

New series of alumino-silicate glasses spanning a wide range of chemical compositions
(basanites, tholeiitic basalts, calcalkaline andesites, peraluminous and peralkaline rhyolites) …

Characterization of long-term processes occurring during alteration of aluminoborosilicate
glasses is relevant for natural as well as man-made materials. Static dissolution tests are a …

Conclusion From the results reported, the FORS device can be considered a useful and non-
invasive tool for acquiring spectral information from paintings and wall-paintings in order to …

The work presented in this paper is part of a wider research project, which aims at
documenting and analyzing stained glass windows by means of hyperspectral imaging. This …

A Na-alumino-borosilicate glass and its Ca-doped counterpart were altered in vapor phase
(98% relative humidity) and aqueous medium at 90° C. Both the alteration media were …

This paper reports the research on the physical‐chemical response of silicate glasses
subjected to the action of three natural soils types: acidic, neutral, and basic. The main goal …

Fiber optics reflectance spectroscopy (FORS) in the entire 380–11, 000 nm range has been
used to non-invasively characterize Leonardo's painting Madonna of the Yarnwinder. A …

The main objective of our research is the development of totally non-destructive
methodologies for the investigation of art works. We propose the use of fiber optic …
