Ultrafine Particles: 3 Years of Measurements in the NIST Test House

Author(s)
Lance L. Wallace, Andrew K. Persily, Steven J. Emmerich, Dong H. Rim, Chi P. Hoang, Cynthia H. Reed, Wang Fang, M E. Greene, Jung I. Choi
NIST has supported research characterizing ultrafine particle sources and dynamics for more than a decade. Over 90 % of ultrafine particles (UFP) produced by...

CAVITY OPTOMECHANICAL SENSORS

Author(s)
Houxun H. Miao, Kartik A. Srinivasan, Matthew T. Rakher, Marcelo I. Davanco, Vladimir A. Aksyuk
We report a novel type of fully integrated optomechanical sensor and demonstrate high sensitivity mechanical displacement measurements on chip. We sense the...

Numerical test of few-qubit clock protocols

Author(s)
Till P. Rosenband
The stability of several clock protocols based on 2 to 20 entangled atoms is evaluated numerically, by a simulation that includes the effect of decoherence due...

Effects of Roughness on Scatterometry Signatures

Author(s)
Martin Foldyna, Thomas Germer, Brent Bergner
We used azimuthally-resolved spectroscopic Mueller matrix ellipsometry to study a periodic silicon line structure with and without artificially-generated line...

The Effect of Folding on the Internal Structure of Ballistic Fibers

Author(s)
Haruki Kobayashi, Walter G. McDonough, Hae-Jeong Lee, Jae H. Kim, Amanda L. Forster, Kirk D. Rice, Gale A. Holmes
In one of our previous studies, the mechanical properties of poly (p-phenylene benzobisoxazole) (PBO) fibers were degraded when the fibers were folded. When we...

A High Resolution High-Sensitivity Standoff Imaging System at 350 GHz

Daniel T. Becker, Cale Gentry, James A. Beall, Hsiao-Mei Cho, William Duncan, Gene C. Hilton, Kent D. Irwin, Peter J. Lowell, Michael D. Niemack, Nicholas G. Paulter Jr., Carl D. Reintsema, Francis J. Schima, Robert E. Schwall, Peter Ade, Carole Tucker, Simon Dicker, Halpern Mark
Millimeter wavelength radiation holds promise for detection of security threats at a distance, including suicide bomb belts and maritime threats in poor weather...

EXPOSING GLAZING ASSEMBLIES TO FIREBRAND SHOWERS

Author(s)
Samuel L. Manzello, Sayaka S. Suzuki, Yoshihiko Hayashi
An experimental campaign was undertaken to determine vulnerabilities of glazing assemblies to firebrand bombardment using the NIST Dragon installed in the...
