The goal of this research is to better understand the interactions and relationships between nanoparticle fillers, their surface treatment chemistries, various
The fundamental parameters approach to line profile fitting uses physically based models to generate the line profile shapes. Fundamental parameters profile
Carbon nanotubes, having remarkably high tensile strength, large aspect ratio, and enhanced electrical and thermal properties, continue to hold much promise as
We have developed a novel combinatorial method for peel testing based on the use of gradient techniques, including surface roughness and energy, adhesive or

Hydrosomes are micron sized surfactant stabilized water droplets in a fluorocarbon background. Different chemicals can be mixed with the water droplets to form
The majority of commercially available microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have depended on silicon micromachining for manufacturing. However, silicon
Field measurements of the state of polarization in buried and aerial transmission fiber are presented and analyzed. State of polarization changes measured under

Results are presented for in-situ manipulation, attachment, and mechanical testing of individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on MEMS devices. Nanotubes positioned
Currently, fire department notification of a building fire comes from either a building fire alarm system monitoring service or a 911 call. The emergency

In this paper we introduce the notion of Lavery splines and examine their properties in the univariate case. We also discuss some of the details involved with
In this paper a theorem of Stokes is used to establish the existence of a periodic solution of a Van der Pol equation with fixed delay in the neighborhood of an
A Bayesian/Maximum entropy (MaxEnt) method is applied to quantify the broadening of X-ray line profiles in terms of the nanocrystallite size effects in ceria

The process of tissue engineering often involves the mixing of cells with polymers that may cause inflammation to the tissue and thus elevate the level of
The geometry of a nearly spherical surface, for example that of a precision optic, is completely determined by the radius-of-curvature at one point and the

This paper presents the development of a virtual surface calibration database for parameter evaluation and algorithm verification. The database runs from a web
Accurate simulation of optical images of lines and trenches placed on semiconductors are of great interest to industry, especially in the overlay process

The single crystal critical dimension reference materials (SCCDRM) project has been completed, and the samples for the SEMATECH member companies have been
Particle contamination of dielectric or conducting surfaces can be detected by shining light on the surface and looking for abnormal scattering distributions

The SRM (Standard Reference Material) 2460 standard bullets are developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to support the National
We investigate the influence of finite resolution on measurement uncertainty from a perspective of the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement
Commensurate with NIST s mission to advance the state of quantitative measurement science we have worked to develop a method to determine absolute molecular
Since its use as a compound for matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI), 2,5 dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) has been the subject of many solid state
