Stochastic behavior of nanoscale dielectric wall buckling

Author(s)
Lawrence H. Friedman, Igor Levin, Robert F. Cook
The random buckling patterns of nanoscale dielectric walls are analyzed using a nonlinear multi-scale stochastic method that combines experimental measurements

Anomalous broadening in driven dissipative Rydberg systems

Author(s)
Elizabeth A. Goldschmidt, Thomas L. Boulier, Roger C. Brown, Silvio B. Koller, Jeremy T. Young, Alexey V. Gorshkov, S L. Rolston, James V. Porto
We observe interaction-induced broadening of the two-photon 5s-18s transition in 87Rb atoms trapped in a 3D optical lattice. The measured linewidth increases by

Surface conductance of graphene from non-contact resonant cavity

Author(s)
Jan Obrzut, Caglar Dogu Emiroglu, Oleg A. Kirillov, Yanfei Yang, Randolph E. Elmquist
A method is established to reliably determine surface conductance of single-layer or multi-layer atomically thin nano-carbon graphene structures. These can be

A Bacteriophage Endolysin that Eliminates Intracellular Streptococci

We present time-of- flight neutron-scattering measurements on single crystals of La 2-x^Ba xCuO 4 (LBCO) with 0 less than or equal to}xless than or equal to} 0

The I/O transform of a chemical sensor

Author(s)
Nalin Katta, Douglas C. Meier, Kurt D. Benkstein, Stephen Semancik, Baranidharan Raman
A number of sensing technologies using a variety of transduction principles have been proposed for the purpose of non-invasive chemical sensing. A fundamental

Automation of Antimicrobial Activity Screening

Author(s)
Samuel P. Forry, Meggan C. Madonna, Daneli Lopez-Perez, Nancy J. Lin, Madeleine D. Pasco
ABSTRACT: Manual and automated methods were compared for routine screening of compounds for antimicrobial activity. Automation generally accelerated assays and

Centroid and Orientation Precision of Localization Microscopy

Author(s)
Craig D. McGray, Craig R. Copeland, Samuel M. Stavis, Jon C. Geist
The concept of localization precision, which is essential to localization microscopy, is formally extended from optical point sources to microscopic rigid

Oscillator PM-noise reduction from correlated AM-noise

Author(s)
Archita Hati, Craig W. Nelson, David A. Howe
We demonstrate a novel technique for reducing the phase modulation (PM) noise of an oscillator in steady state as well as under vibration. It utilizes
