A statistical analysis of Lorentz invariance in entropy

After relativity was introduced by Einstein in 1905, several attempts were made to reformulate the other fields of physics to make them consistent with the postulates of Relativity. However, relativistic reformulation remains a bone of contention even today after over a hundred years since Einstein's epoch making papers. This is mainly due to seemingly conflicting yet consistent ways of defining the macroscopic...

A study of structural, optical and dielectric properties of Eu2O3 doped borate glass

Recent technological applications have generated more interest in the studies of different types of glasses. The wide applications of glasses take place due to their interesting properties such as low thermal expansion, high softening temperature, high resistance to chemical attack, high refractive index with low dispersion and mechanical strength. Eu2O3 doped borate glasses were successfully synthesized by melt...
