Two-dimensional (2-D) doping profiles of differently doped Si homostructures were investigated by scanning capacitance microscopy (SCM) and scanning Kelvin
The methods used to critically evaluate and compile the data on energy levels, wavelengths, and ionization potentials of multiply ionized tungsten and other
This report provides a broad overview of the progress in procedural improvements for impact testing. It includes a short summary of early developments, a
Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors have been shown to be a good means of non-destructive monitoring of the stress and/or strain of the materials in which they

Solid-state refrigerators based on normal metal/insulator/superconductor tunnel junctions are now a practical means of cooling from pumped 3He bath temperatures
We begin this expository essay by reviewing with examples what a typical engineer already knows about statistics. We then consider a central question in
Micro-Electro-Discharge Machining (micro-EDM) is gaining in popularity within the micro- and meso-scale machining community. The process is very well suited to
Five parameters are used for 2D and 3D topography comparisons and measurements, those include two correlation parameters Ds and CCFmax , and three surface
Standard Rockwell diamond indenter plays an important role for a worldwide unified Rockwell hardness scale. In 1994, NIST established a microform calibration
A common machining problem is to find the maximum material rate possible by adjusting the cutting speed, width of cut, and depth of cut for a given process
We describe the design of a miniature Fizeau interferometer, which is intended to be an accurate curvature sensor for the NIST Geometry Measuring (GEMM), which
A procedure is described by which the spring constant of a microfabricated cantilever beam can be calibrated for the measurement of small forces in an atomic
