Digital Imaging for Scanning Electron Microscopy

Author(s)
Michael T. Postek, Andras Vladar
The development and application of digital imaging technology has been one of the major advancements in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) during the past...

Generation of Non-Classical Motional States of a Trapped Atom

Author(s)
D M. Meekhof, C Monroe, B E. King, Wayne M. Itano, David J. Wineland
We report the creation of thermal, Fock, coherent, and squeezed states of motion of a harmonically bound 9Be+ ion. The last three states are coherently prepared...

A Schrödinger Cat" Superposition State of an Atom

Author(s)
C Monroe, D M. Meekhof, B E. King, David J. Wineland
A "Schrödinger cat"-like state of matter was generated at the single atom level. A trapped 9Be+ ion was laser-cooled to the zero-point energy and then prepared...

Laser focusing of atoms for nanostructure fabrication

Author(s)
J Mcclelland, Robert Celotta, Zeina J. Kubarych, R Gupta
Laser focusing of atoms has emerged as a viable form of nanofabrication. Structures are formed by focusing chromium atoms as they deposit onto a surface. The...

Microstrucutral Effects in Precision Hard Turning

Author(s)
Y K. Chou, Christopher J. Evans
Precision hard turning provides an alternative to grinding in some finishing applications. Rapid tool wear, however, remains a bottleneck to the process being...
