We describe in detail a new atom-by-atom exchange manipulation technique using a scanning tunneling microscope probe. As-deposited Mn adatoms (Mnad) are...
The stress induced transformation behavior of retained austenite is considered in this work. With the development of transformation induced plasticity (TRIP)...

The asymptotic critical behavior of the thermal diffusivity of H 2O, deduced from dynamic light-scattering measurements, is shown to be in good agreement with...
Measurements related to nano- and micro- scale science, technology, and manufacturing are pushing the limits of detectable mechanical, electrical, and chemical...
In this paper we explore the combined action of large thermal fluctuations and spin transfer torques on the behavior of magnetic layers in spin valves. We find...

In this paper, atomic layer deposited (ALD) alumina (Al2O3) has been demonstrated as the structural material for a micro-resonator for the first time. An...
Parallelization of a finite difference micromagnetic program on shared memory computer systems is studied. Efficiency is found to be limited by memory bandwidth...

The effective use of gas chromatographic retention data presented in the form of reten¬tion indices (RI) requires the development of a compre¬hensive structure...
We propose an experiment utilizing an array of cooled micro-cantilevers coupled to a sample of ultra-cold atoms trapped near a micro-fabricated surface. The...
Studies of low-energy processes, such as neutron beta-decay, contribute important information regarding die rent aspects of physics including nuclear and...
