Egyptian Blue Pigment: An Examination of Effects on Luminescence from the Partial Replacement of Cu with Mg, and the Optimization of Atomic Imaging to Prevent Sample Damage

This research examines the correlation between Egyptian blue pigment luminescence and magnesium inclusions, in addition to atomic imaging of ancient Egyptian blue. Egyptian blue (CaCuSi4O10 crystals and a flux matrix) was the first synthetic pigment created, discovered by ancient Egyptians around 30...
