1. Color Centers
Color center are responsible for beautiful colors of some ancient artwork. Such color centers are observed in many other materials as well, table salt for example. The figure below shows an absorption coefficient, α, of table salt, also known as NaCl. The absorption feature related to the color centers is strongly peaked in the visible and gives rise to the slightly yellow color of table salt. If you would take a salt crystal and irradiate it with energetic ions or X-rays, you would find that the crystal turns dark yellow. Color centers are formed by the creation of socalled Frenkel defects, an ion displaced from its usual site in the crystal. The vacancies that remain after the ions are displaced (by e.g. an energetic particle) can trap charges. Some configurations in which charge can be trapped are shown and named in Figure 2.
2. Metallic nanoparticles
Some of the beautiful colors of 17 th century church windows and ancient glass objects derive their color from the presence of nanometer size noble metal particles. We would like to study the optical properties of a piece of SiO 2 glass with a refractive index of n SiO2 = 1.5 that has a low concentration of Ag nanoparticles (radius R) embedded in it. We illuminate the glass on one side with a white light source and notice a beautiful yellow color in transmission.
tanic” composed by writer David R. Slavitt in 1983. The setting of this sonnet happens on a boat called the Titanic in the Atlantic Ocean.

The writer likewise assists with implementing the sonnets tone as cheerful and celebratory as well as authorizing the possibility that since everybody necessities to kick the bucket its greatly improved to do it together by saying “To go down … We generally go down, for the most part alone. Yet, with hordes of individuals, companions, workers, very much taken care of, with music, with lights! Ok!” (page 371) The artist likewise accepts that knowing you’re in good company at the time of death would likewise be an encouraging inclination “The cries on all sides should be a solace” (page 371) Normally when individuals talk or expound on the Titanic it is generally discouraging and pitiful yet the manner in which the artist depicted the Titanic in this sonnet made it really appear to be tempting to load up the boat despite the fact that you know how it closes. The manner in which the writer depicts the air on board the boat is cheerful moods encircled by blissful individuals eating and moving making every moment count.
