Resonant X-ray Emission of Hexagonal Boron Nitride

Author(s)
John T. Vinson, Terrence J Jach, Matthias Mueller, Rainer Unterumsberger, Burkhard Beckhoff
The electronic structure of hexagonal boron nitride ({\it h}-BN) is explored using measurements of x-ray absorption and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering...

Results of an International Comparison of Activity Measurements of 68Ge

Author(s)
Jeffrey T. Cessna, Ryan P. Fitzgerald, Brian E. Zimmerman, Lizbeth Laureano-Perez, Denis E. Bergeron
An international key comparison, identifier CCRI(II)-K2.Ge-68, has been performed. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) served as the pilot...

Flux-tunable phase shifter for microwaves

Author(s)
Roope J. Kokkoniemi, Tuomas Ollikainen, Sakari Saarenpaa, Janne Kokkala, Ceren Dag, Mikko Mottonen, Russell Lake
We introduce a magnetic-flux-tunable phase shifter for propagating microwave photons, based on three equidistant superconducting quantum interference devices...

Quantum Estimation of the Classical Gravitational Field

Author(s)
Emanuel H. Knill, T. G. Downes, G. J. Milburn, C. M. Caves, J. R. van Meter
Here we describe a quantum limit to measurement of the classical gravitational field. Specifically, we formulate the quantum Cramer-Rao lower bound for...

Deriving global OH abundance and atmospheric lifetimes for long-lived gases: A search for the alternative reference gas for CH3CCl3.

Author(s)
Qing Liang, Martyn P. Chipperfield, Eric L. Fleming, Luke Abraham, Peter Braesicke, James B. Burkholder, John S. Daniels, Sandip Dhomse, Steven C. Hardiman, Charles H. Jackman, Douglas E. Kinnison, Stephen A. Montzka, Olaf Morgenstern, Archie McCulloch, Paul A. Newman, Vladimir L. Orkin, Giovanni Pitari, Matthew Rigby, Eugene Rozanov, Fiona Tummon, Guus J. Velders, Daniele Visioni
An accurate estimate of global hydroxyl radical (OH) abundance is important for projections of air quality, climate, and stratospheric ozone layer recovery. As...

Deriving global mean OH and atmospheric lifetimes for ozone-depleting substances and greenhouse gases using observed CH3CCl3 and chemistry-climate models

Author(s)
Vladimir L. Orkin, Qing Liang, Martyn P. Chipperfield, Matthew Rigby, Olaf Morgenstern, Guus J. Velders, Luke Abraham, Sandip Dhomse, Eric L. Fleming, Steven C. Hardiman, Daniela Iachetti, Charles H. Jackman, Douglas E. Kinnison, Giovanni Pitari, Eugene Rozanov, Andrea Stenke, Fiona Tummon, James B. Burkholder
Tests using flux-based methyl chloroform (MCF) concentrations from four state-of-the-art chemistry-climate models (CCMs) in the two-dimensional 12-box Bayesian...

HIGH EFFICIENCY CARBON NANOTUBE THREAD ANTENNAS

Author(s)
Christopher L. Holloway, Aydin Babajgabni, Chris Long, David R. Novotny, Nate Orloff, E. A. Bengio, Damir Senic, Lauren W. Taylor, Dimitri E. Tsentalovich
Although previous research has explored the underlying theory of high-frequency behavior of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and CNT bundles for antennas, there is a gap...

Synthesis and Transport Properties of Fe2SnSe4

Author(s)
Kaya Wei, Joshua Martin, George S. Nolas
Fe2SnSe4 was synthesized by elemental reaction and densified using hot pressing in order to investigate the transport properties. It crystallizes in the...

Rigidity of the magic pentagram game

Author(s)
Amir Kalev, Carl Miller
A game is rigid if a near-optimal score guarantees, under the sole assumption of the validity of quantum mechanics, that the players are using an approximately...

The effect of self-consistent potentials on EXAFS analysis

Author(s)
Bruce Ravel, M. Newville, Josh J. Kas, John J. Rehr
We present an EXAFS-oriented theory program based on the popular Feff8 and providing an application programming interface designed to make it easy to integrate...

The Momentum Distribution of Liquid 4He

Author(s)
Timothy R Prisk, M. S. Bryan, P. E. Sokol, G. E. Granroth, S. Moroni, M. Boninsegni
We report high-resolution neutron Compton scattering measurements of liquid 4He under saturated vapor pressure. There is excellent agreement between the...
