We study the coherent nonlinear tunneling dynamics of a binary mixture of Bose-Einstein condensates in a double-well potential. We demonstrate the existence of
It is shown that the Debye-Waller factor for graphene has a singularity. However, the singularity does not affect the zero-temperature value of the Debye-Waller

Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) was used to characterize the line cross section of nanoline gratings fabricated using electron beam lithography (EBL)
We have developed a fiber-optic interferometer optimized for best performance in the frequency range from DC to 1 kHz, with displacement linearity of 1 % over a

Objective: To assess the effect of the cavity design factor (C-factor) on polymerization stress development (PSD) in resin composites. Methods: An experimental
We present catalogs of QSO candidates selected using photometry from GALEX combined with SDSS in the Stripe 82 region and Blanco Cosmology Survey (BCS) near

A non-destructive infrared (IR) spectroscopy assay is used to measure changes the tertiary structure of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) adsorbed to three surfaces
Interest in the domestic production of bio-derived fuels, sparked by the high cost of petroleum crude oil, has lead to consideration of fluids to replace or
While classical studies of dislocation behavior have focused on the motion and multiplication of dislocations, recent advances in experimental methods allow

A population of cells in culture displays a range of phenotypic responses, even when those cells are derived from a single cell and are exposed to a homogeneous
We develop two direct methods to simultaneously measure the dynamic capillary pressure and the viscosity of fluids by application of differential forces during
We have proposed a superseding algorithm approach for image analysis of the pore size distribution (PSD) of porous media. This approach adapts the intrinsic
A method is outlined that allows the determination of one-dimensional stress gradients at length scales greater than 0.2 mm. By using standard four-circle X-ray

We have examined four model molecular glasses (MGs) which are candidates for extreme ultraviolet lithography. One rationale for employing MGs is that these

We have examined four molecular glass (MG) materials which show promise as photoresists for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. These glass-forming materials
A scheme of generating controllable 2+1 photons in a double- atomic system based on active Raman gain is presented in this paper. Such 2+1 photons can be a

Thermal processing of semiconductors is a critical, capital intensive step in achieving high yields and profitability in the manufacturing of electronic chips
We present a summary of Charpy impact verification test data that were evaluated by the National Institute of Standards and Tecnology (NIST) from January 1994
We perform linear stability calculations for horizontal fluid bilayers that can undergo a phase transformation in the presence of a vertical temperature
We describe measurements of the performance of ampli ers in the 4{8 GHz range using DCSQUIDs in a lumped element con guration. We have used quarter wave

Biological molecules exhibit homochirality and are optically active. Therefore, it is possible that the scattering of light by biological molecules might result
Static analyzers can report possible problems in code and help reinforce good practices of developers. We contrast the strengths of static analyzers with
