A zirconia light is an intensely brilliant chemical light produced by incandescent zirconium. It was more commonly used in the days before electric lamps. It is similar in design to the Limelight. It is similar to the Drummond light, but differing from it chiefly in the employment of cones of zirconium instead of cylinders of lime; it has been superseded by the electric light.
Influence of crystal structure on the light scatter of zirconium oxide films'
The relationship of light scatter by a thin film to thin-film morphology is examined. Light scatter by reactively evaporated ZrO2 thin films is analyzed by using in situ total internal reflection microscopy and angle-resolved scatterometry. Film crystal structure is analyzed by transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction. Relations between film crystal structure and film scatter are established by using this information. Surface topography is analyzed by the use of scanning force microscopy. Results of a spectrophotometric determination of the film refractive index are reported. The film scatter is found to be sensitive to the crystal phase of the film, which is a function of substrate deposition temperature.

Famous quotes containing the word light:
“If you wish to grow thinner, diminish your dinner,
And take to light claret instead of pale ale;
Look down with an utter contempt upon butter,
And never touch bread till it’s toasted—or stale”
—H.S. (Henry Sambrooke)
