The peculiar alterations of the optical and mechanical characteristics of the quartz glass plates with a reinforcing coating under the collision with a hyper-velocity flux of microparticles

This article experimentally investigates the collision of a high-velocity (5–8 km/s) flux of iron microparticles with quartz-glass plates and the effect of such collisions on the optical and mechanical properties of the plates protected by In–Sn–O-based coatings. Such coatings are used to protect th...
