Enhanced Magnetic Trap Loading for Atomic Strontium

Author(s)
Gretchen K. Campbell, Daniel Barker, Benjamin Reschovsky, Neal Pisenti
We report on a technique to improve the continuous loading of atomic strontium into a magnetic trap from a Magneto-Optical Trap (MOT). This is achieved by

Detecting Carbon in Carbon: Application of Differential Charging to Obtain Information on the Chemical Identity and Spatial Location of Carbon Nanotube Aggregates in Composites by Imaging X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

Author(s)
Justin M. Gorham, William A. Osborn, Jeremiah W. Woodcock, Keana C. Scott, John M. Heddleston, Angela R. Hight Walker, Jeffrey W. Gilman
The surface contributions and dispersion properties of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) within a composite are important measurements to perform on nano

A Source for Mesoscopic Quantum Optics

Author(s)
Georg Harder, Timothy J. Bartley, Adriana Lita, Sae Woo Nam, Thomas Gerrits, Christine Silberhorn
The nature of quantum decoherence renders the observation of nonclassical features/properties in large systems increasingly difficult. Optical states are a good

Digital Phantoms Generated by Spectral and Spatial Light Modulators

Author(s)
Bonghwan Chon, Fuyuki Tokumasu, Ji Y. Lee, David W. Allen, Joseph P. Rice, Jeeseong Hwang
A hyperspectral image projector (HIP) based on liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) spatial light modulators (SLMs) is explained and demonstrated to generate 3D

Tomography of photon-number resolving continuous-output detectors

Author(s)
Thomas Gerrits, Peter C. Humphreys, Benjamin Metcalf, Thomas Hiemstra, Adriana E. Lita, Sae Woo Nam, Animesh Datta, Steven Kolthammer, Ian Walmsley, Joshua Nunn
We develop a comprehensive approach to analyzing the continuous output of photon detectors. It uses principle component analysis to extract information

Abiotic bromination of soil organic matter

Author(s)
Bruce D. Ravel, Alessandra C. Leri
Biogeochemical transformations of plant-derived soil organic matter (SOM) involve complex abiotic and microbially mediated reactions. One such reaction is

Multi-Scale Effects in the Strength of Ceramics

Author(s)
Robert F. Cook
Multiple length-scale effects are demonstrated in indentation-strength measurements of a range of ceramic materials under inert and reactive conditions. Meso

Probing Nanoscale Thermal Transport in Surfactant Solutions

Author(s)
Fangyu Cao, Ying Liu, Jiajun Xu, Yadong He, Boualem Hammouda, Rui Qiao, Bao Yang
Surfactant solutions typically feature tunable nanoscale, internal structures. Although rarely utilized, they can be a powerful platform for probing thermal
