Optical Coating: What is Anti-Reflective Coating?

Why do you need anti-reflection coating? Anti-reflective coating is added to lenses to reduce glare caused by light hitting the back of the lenses, which is good for one’s vision. When light passes through the front and back surfaces of the lens, it not only produces refraction but also produces reflection. This kind of reflected...

Metal Encyclopedia: Seventeen Rare Earth Elements Introduction

Rare-earth element is a general term for 17 elements of lanthanides as well as scandium and yttrium in the chemical periodic table. Scandium and yttrium are included in rare earth element because they are often symbiotic with lanthanide elements in mineral deposits, and thus have similar chemical properties. Rare earth materials are important for many...
