Development of a Precision Nanoindentation Platform

Author(s)
Douglas T. Smith, Bartosz K. Nowakowski, Robert F. Cook, Stuart T. Smith, Luis F. Correa
This paper presents the design, construction and performance of a surface- referenced nanoindentation instrument termed a precision nanoindentation platform...

Relationship between CTDI values and measured Peak Skin Dose (PSD)

Author(s)
Ronaldo Minniti, Hugo de las Heras Gala, Sean Wilson, Chad Mitchell, Marlene Skopec, Claudia Brunner, Kish Chakrabarti
In this work we relate the CT dose index volume (CTDIvol) readily displayed in all CT units with an actual Peak Skin Dose (PSD) value. Measurements of the CTDI...

Mode reconstruction of a light field by multi-photon statistics

Author(s)
Elizabeth A. Goldschmidt, Fabrizio Piacentini, I. Ruo Berchera, Sergey V. Polyakov, Silke Peters, Stefan Kuck, Giorgio Brida, Ivo P. Degiovanni, Alan L. Migdall, Marco Genovese
Knowing the underlying number and structure of occupied modes of a light field plays a crucial role in minimizing loss and decoherence of quantum information...

3D X-ray Metrology for Block Copolymer Lithography Line-Space Patterns

Author(s)
Daniel F. Sunday, Matthew R. Hammond, Chengqing C. Wang, Wen-Li Wu, Regis J. Kline, Gila E. Stein
We report on the development of a new measurement method, resonant critical-dimension small-angle x-ray scattering (CD-SAXS), for the characterization of the...

Characterizing Large-Form-Factor Devices in a Reverberation Chamber

Author(s)
Catherine A. Remley, Gerrit S. van de Beek, Christopher L. Holloway, John M. Ladbury
Abstract—With new technologies such as machine-to-machine communications there is a growing need to test large-formfactor devices in reverberation chambers. The...

Thermoelectric imaging of structural disorder in epitaxial graphene

Author(s)
Sanghee Cho, Stephen D. Kang, Wondong Kim, Eui-Sup Lee, Sung-Jae Woo, Ki-Jeong Kong, Ilyou Kim, Hyeong-Do Kim, Tong Zhang, Joseph A. Stroscio, Yong-Hyun Kim, Ho-Ki Lyeo
Many structural defects and strain fields develop during the preparation of thin films and nanostructures, with their origins being at the atomic level1,2...

The Metrology of Counting Protein Particles

Author(s)
Dean C. Ripple, Michael J. Carrier, Richard E. Cavicchi, Christopher B. Montgomery, Zhishang Hu
A common degradation pathway for protein-based drugs is the growth of protein aggregates or particles. Counting and characterization of these particles is...

Atomic Data for Iron-group Elements of Astrophysical Interest

Author(s)
Gillian Nave, Craig J. Sansonetti, J C. Pickering, Matthew Ruffoni, Anne P. Thorne, Florence Liggins
The joint project between NIST and Imperial College London to measure spectra of singly-ionized iron-group elements using Fourier transform and high-resolution...

On the bending strength of single-crystal silicon theta-like specimens

Author(s)
Rebecca R. Kirkpatrick, William Alexander Osborn, Michael S. Gaither, Richard S. Gates, Frank W. DelRio, Robert F. Cook
A new theta geometry was developed for micro-scale bending strength measurements. The new "gap" theta specimen was a simple modification of the arch theta...

Spinor Dynamics in an Antiferromagnetic spin-1 Thermal Bose Gas

Author(s)
Hyewon K. Pechkis, Jonathan Wrubel, Arne Schwettmann, Paul Griffin, Ryan Barnett, Eite Tiesinga, Paul D. Lett
We present experimental observations of coherent spin-population oscillations in a cold thermal, Bose gas of spin-1 23Na atoms. The population oscillations in a...
