Optical systems that operate at wavelengths in the ultraviolet (UV) and extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) are susceptible to degradation by a number of different
Nano and atomic scale theory of the electronic, optical and mechanical properties of ultrasmall structures, such as semiconductor quantum dots and dopants in Si
The purpose of the N42 data format is to facilitate manufacturer-independent transfer of information from radiation measurement instruments for use in homeland
The Dynamic EUV Imaging and Spectroscopy for Microelectronics program in the Spin Electronics group makes use of an ultra-fast, coherent, extreme ultraviolet
Manufacturing processes by their very nature require a judicious, time-dependent use of pressure and temperature to transform a base material into a valuable
The goal of this project is to extend and improve the measurements of the key climate record of the long-term balance between Earth absorption of solar energy
In classical molecular simulations, electrostatic contributions to the potential energy are typically accounted for by assigning partial charges to some or all
The Dosimetry Group operates a system capable of performing electron beam processing, which consists of a Van de Graaff electron accelerator and a sample
To provide the necessary information for electronic material manufacturers to predict how and when failures will occur and enable lifetime analysis appropriate
This project comprises of two complimentary components: 1.) the controlled synthesis of selectively engineered magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in support of the
This project is developing zone plate technology to enable compact solar radiometers for observing the solar 30.4-nm emission from ionized helium in the
The extreme ultraviolet detector (EUVD) calibration service disseminates the U.S. national scale of detector responsivity in the wavelength range from 5 nm to
Magnetic tunnel junctions, nanostructured by highly charged ions, are being probed and characterized to establish the foundation for novel magnetic random
A variety of gases are used during production of semiconductors for deposition, lithography, etching, doping, annealing, and chamber cleaning. These processes
The NIST Frequency Measurement and Analysis Service (FMAS) makes it easy to measure and calibrate any quartz, rubidium, cesium, or hydrogen maser frequency
We are involved in efforts to collate data on precision measurements and the theoretical description of these measurements with the aim to improve the values of
The Neutron Spin Rotation (NSR) collaboration has developed a neutron spin polarimeter that has allowed the precise measurement of spin rotations at a level of
The decay of the free neutron is the simplest nuclear beta decay and is the prototype for all charged current semi-leptonic weak interactions. The decay
The angular correlation between the beta electron and antineutrino in nuclear beta decay, referred to as the “little a” coefficient, is the least well-known of
We measured the neutron interaction with an atomic field (also known as Schwinger scattering) inside a silicon crystal in order to determine the value of the
GaN nanowires grown by catalyst-free molecular beam epitaxy have the unique property that most nanowires are completely free of crystalline defects. This
