Local field effect on charge-capture/emission dynamics

Author(s)
Kin P. Cheung, Dmitry Veksler, Jason P. Campbell
Charge-capture/emission is ubiquitous in solid state devices. Its dynamics often play critical roles in device operation and reliability. Treatment of this

Buckling Instabilities in Polymer Brush Surfaces via Postpolymerization Modification

Author(s)
Wei Guo, Cassandra M. Reese, Li Xiong, Phillip K. Logan, Brittany J. Thompson, Christopher Stafford, Anton Ievlev, Bradley S. Lokitz, Olga S. Ovchinnikova, Derek L. Patton
We report a simple route to engineer ultrathin polymer brush surfaces with wrinkled and creased morphologies using postpolymerization modification (PPM), where

Phase Competition in the Palmer-Chalker XY Pyrochlore Er2Pt2O7

Author(s)
A. M. Hallas, J. Gaudet, Nicholas Butch, Guangyong Xu, M. Tachibana, C. R. Wiebe, Graeme M. Luke, Bruce D. Gaulin
We report neutron scattering measurements on Er 2Pt 2O 7, a new addition to the XY family of frustrated pyrochlore magnets. Symmetry analysis of our elastic

Perspectives for a new realization of the pascal by optical methods

Jay H. Hendricks, Karl Jousten, Jack A. Stone Jr., Patrick F. Egan, Tom Rubin, Christof Gaiser, Rene Schodel, James A. Fedchak, Jacob E. Ricker, Jens Fluegge, Stephen P. Eckel, Julia K. Scherschligt, Daniel S. Barker, Kevin O. Douglass, Gregory F. Strouse, Uwe Sterr, Waldimir Sabuga
Since the beginning of measurement of pressure in the 17th century, the unit of pressure has been defined by the relationship of force per unit area. The

Two determinations of the Ge-68 half-life

Author(s)
Denis E. Bergeron, Jeffrey T. Cessna, Brian E. Zimmerman
In nuclear medicine, 68Ge is used to generate 68Ga for imaging by positron emission tomography (PET) and sealed sources containing 68Ge/68Ga in equilibrium have

Algorithm for rapid determination of optical scattering parameters

Author(s)
Zachary H. Levine, Adam L. Pintar, Richelle H. Streater, Anne-Michelle R. Lieberson, Catherine C. Cooksey, Paul Lemaillet
Preliminary experiments at the NIST Spectral Tri-function Automated Reference Reflectometer (STARR) facility have been conducted with the goal of providing the

Growth-Induced In-Plane Uniaxial Anisotropy V2O3/Ni Films

Author(s)
Dustin Allen Gilbert, Juan Gabriel Ramirez, T. Saerbeck, J. Trastoy, Ivan K. Schuller, Kai Liu, J. de la Venta
We report a microstructure-induced uniaxial anisotropy in V 2O 3/Ni hybrid thin films obtained from temperature and angular dependence of the magnetization. X

JDFTx: software for joint density-functional theory

Author(s)
Ravishankar Sundararaman, Kendra Letchworth-Weaver, Kathleen Schwarz, Deniz Gunceler, Akif Ozhabes, Tomas Arias
Density-functional theory (DFT) has revolutionized computational prediction of atomic-scale properties from first prin- ciples in physics, chemistry and

Knot Energy, Complexity, and Mobility of Knotted Polymers

Author(s)
Luis F. Vargas Lara, Ahmed M. Hassan, Marc A. Mansfield, Jack F. Douglas
The Newtonian capacity C of an object is defined by the equilibrium energy, EN =1/C, of a charge distribution on a conductive object and provides a classical

An integrated and automated calibration system for pneumatic piston gauges

Author(s)
Yuanchao Yang, Robert G. Driver, John S. Quintavalle, Julia Scherschligt, Katie M. Schlatter, Jacob Edmond Ricker, Gregory F. Strouse, Douglas A. Olson, Jay H. Hendricks
Recently, a transducer-aided crossfloat (TAC) method for pneumatic piston gauges was proposed. The concept is to use a pressure transducer as a very short-term
