    Radiative cooling properties of portlandite and tobermorite: two cementitious minerals of great relevance in concrete science and technology
    (American Chemical Society, 2023-06-23) Dolado, Jorge S.; Goracci, Guido; Arrese-Igor, Silvia; Ayuela, Andrés; Torres Betancourt, Angie Tatiana; Liberal Olleta, Íñigo; Beruete Díaz, Miguel; Gaitero, Juan J.; Cagnoni, Matteo; Cappelluti, Federica; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoa eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC
    Although concrete and cement-based materials are the most engineered materials employed by mankind, their potential for use in daytime radiative cooling applications has yet to be fully explored. Due to its complex structure, which is composed of multiple phases and textural details, fine-tuning of concrete is impossible without first analyzing its most important ingredients. Here, the radiative cooling properties of Portlandite (Ca(OH)2) and Tobermorite (Ca5Si6O16(OH)2·4H2O) are studied due to their crucial relevance in cement and concrete science and technology. Our findings demonstrate that, in contrast to concrete (which is a strong infrared emitter but a poor sun reflector), both Portlandite and Tobermorite exhibit good radiative cooling capabilities. These results provide solid evidence that, with the correct optimization of composition and porosity, concrete can be transformed into a material suitable for daytime radiative cooling.

    Highly sensitive sensor for measuring material thermal expansion using a ring laser
    (IEEE, 2023) Díaz Lucas, Silvia; Fuentes Lorenzo, Omar; Torres Betancourt, Angie Tatiana; Corres Sanz, Jesús María; Matías Maestro, Ignacio; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren
    A new thermal expansion sensor is presented in this letter. It combines an interferometric fiber sensor and an erbium-doped fiber ring laser as the light source. The sensor consists of a combination of single-mode, hollow-core, and no-core mirror fibers. The sensor was tested on two different types of based metal, such as aluminum and steel, giving sensitivities as high as 38.7 and 5.75 nm/°C, respectively, showing good performance.
