Special Issue on Advances in Characterization of Materials with Optical Methods.

Remarkably, the proposed algorithms outperformed other stitching algorithms currently available in the literature in the four selected test cases in [[3]] (i.e., polymer abrasion, mirror polished copper, arm skin replica, and titanium alloy abrasion). Materials characterization is a basic field of science and engineering. For this reason, Abdelhamid et al. [[5]] developed Cu- and/or Zr-modified TiO SB 2 sb nanoparticles, characterizing them with photo-thermal beam deflection spectrometry (BDS), UV-Vis spectro-photometry, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy-dispersive X-rays (EDXs) to determine their thermo-optical and transport parameters.
