Low energy electrons may provide mechanisms to enhance thin film growth at low temperatures. In this work, gallium nitride (GaN) films were deposited over areas...
NIST's Engineering Laboratory (EL-NIST) hosted "Operation Tomodachi - Fire Research" on March 16-18, 2015 in Gaithersburg, MD USA. Tomodachi means friendship in...
The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology addresses businesses most pressing cybersecurity...
Coincidence counting in neutron activation analysis has well-known advantages, such as enhancement of signal and reduction in background. One obstacle to the...

Mechanically milling a variety of lithium and sodium closo-borate compounds enables the room-temperature stabilization of their fast-ion-conducting, high-T-like...
In this article, novel, phonon-based silicon carbide nanopillar antenna arrays are described. Using fabricated SiC structures, sub-diffractional, localized...
We report the high-pressure synthesis of a manganese oxyhydride LaSrMnO 3.3H 0.7. Neutron and X-ray Rietveld analyses showed this compound adopts the K 2NiF 4...
The debate of whether or not magnetic and non-magnetic phases coexist in the superconducting potassium doped iron selenide, K xFe 2-ySe 2, is still ongoing...

Attosecond spectroscopic techniques have made it possible to measure differences in transport times for photoelectrons from localized core levels and...
Carbon steels containing ferrite-pearlite microstructures weaken dramatically when pearlite dissolves into austenite on heating. The kinetics of this phase...

DNA-carbon nanotube (DNA-CNT) hybrids are nanometer-sized, highly-charged, rod-like molecules with complex surface chemistry, and their behaviors in aqueous...
We discuss the implementation of a REDOR experiment that is capable of measuring multiple, weak 13C-2H dipolar couplings when 2H is a strong quadrupole and 13C...
Maps of residual stress distributions arising from anisotropic thermal expansion effects in a polycrystalline alumina are generated using fluorescence...

Optical absorption spectra of laboratory generated aerosols consisting of black carbon (BC) internally mixed with nonabsorbing materials (ammonium sulfate, AS...
We have studied the diffusion mechanism of lithium ions in glassy oxide-based solid sate electrolytes using elastic and electrolytes using elastic and...
Abstract: Single electron devices (SEDs) afford the opportunity to isolate and manipulate individual electrons. This ability imbues SEDs with potential...

We present data on the filament size and temperature distribution in Hf0.82Al0.18Ox-based Resistive Random Access Memory (RRAM) devices obtained by transient...
It is increasingly common for language specifications to separate visual forms (concrete syntax) from underlying concepts (abstract syntax), enabling languages...

We present an analytical description of localized spin wave modes that form in a parabolic field minimum in a thin ferromagnetic film. Mode profiles...
This short column introduces the need for a foundational science to the Internet of Things (IoT). It introduces the notion of primitives and elements, and their...
