Information Centric Networking Program

Completed
Today the Internet relies on content distribution network overlays and caching to deliver most of its traffic. It is not clear that this architecture can continue to scale to meet data projections of the next decade and beyond. Current research in information-centric networking proposes a new...

Infrared cryogenic blackbody broadband calibration

Ongoing
The broadband chamber and the spectral calibration chamber at the LBIR facility are used for calibrating the customer cryogenic blackbodies. These chambers are cooled by closed cycle helium gas at 20 K to provide a background equivalent to space. The absolute cryogenic radiometers (ACRs) in these...

Ongoing
Our overall program can be summarized by the following 6 key elements: Provide a traceability path to national scales for infrared optical properties to the infrared optical properties community through, NIST Calibration Service 38075S, Standard Reference Materials, cooperative research and...

Infrastructure for Agile Manufacturing Data Standards

Completed
Objective - T o develop and deploy to industry advances in standards and measurement science for model-based messaging standards and service-modeling methodology to enable manufacturers to improve the agility of manufacturing systems and manufacturing systems integration. What is the technical idea...

Inkjet Printing and Precision Deposition

Ongoing
Inkjet Droplet Metrology: Drop-on-Demand (DOD) inkjet printing allows precise deposition of picoliter (pL)-size droplets of solutions containing organic or inorganic materials. These drops can be used to create unique patterns, structures, and coatings and build 3-D microstructures making it a...

Inorganic Phase Equilibrium Data

Ongoing
Every deliberate effort to develop a new material or to improve processing begins with chemical composition and the conditions (temperature, pressure) under which pure compounds and their mixtures are stable ( an equilibrium phase diagram ). In the absence of such information, materials scientists...

In-Situ RF Emissions Metrology

Ongoing
Objectives The In-Situ RF Emissions Metrology Project blends expertise in traditional spectrum monitoring, digital signal processing and statistics with applied, situationally relevant, measurement methods, modeling, and simulation techniques to build towards assessments of: The time, frequency...

Instrument Standards for Detection of Hazardous Chemical Vapors

Ongoing
Chemical threat detection is a challenging problem. Contaminants must be accurately identified and quantified often in complex mixtures where non-toxic components can often obscure the measurement. Furthermore, highly toxic chemicals are problematic at low concentrations, requiring ultra-sensitive...

Integer and Fractional Quantum Hall Effect

Ongoing
Integer Quantum Hall Effect Graphene is a unique 2DEG system that is exposed at the surface and can be probed with scanning tunneling measurements.  A hallmark of graphene that results from the unique linear dispersion is that the energy spacing between the Landau levels is not constant but varies...

Integrated CMOS Testbeds for Nanoelectronics and Machine Learning

Ongoing
The increasingly complex device requirements for next-generation computing architectures such as neuromorphic computing or nanoelectronic machine learning accelerators present challenges for researchers across the spectrum of institutions, from small businesses and universities to government...

Integrated Data Management for Materials Discovery

Ongoing
Learn more about the Thermodynamics Research Center (TRC); it's history, capabilities, and expanding role in chemical processing, experimental planning, and process design. TRC overview TRC's growth in becoming the nation's leading repository of thermodynamics data, along with evolving programing...

Integrated Nanoscale Experimentation, Prediction, and Validation

Ongoing
A central tenet of the Materials Genome Initiative is that advanced computational methods will enable materials with new or superior properties to be discovered so as to improve the performance of components in applications ranging from communications to energy to health care. Such methods will take...

Integrated Near-field Optoelectronic (INFO) Scanning Probe

Ongoing
In a collaboration between the Nanoelectromagnetics Project and the Quantitative Imaging Project, we have fabricated and tested a GaN nanowire mounted on an AFM tip as a near-field scanning microwave microscopy (NSMM ) tip (see Fig. 2(a) below ). A tungsten atomic layer deposition (ALD) coating...

Integrated Optical Atomic Devices

Ongoing
The NIST on a Chip project in the Atomic Devices and Instrumentation group is focused on the development of compact, manufacturable, low power, SI-traceable calibration instruments using atomic vapor cells. We anticipate such devices could be broadly used in industrial settings for in-situ...
