The realization and the dissemination of spectral radiance and radiance temperature scales in the temperature range of -50 C to 250 C and spectral range of 3 m
Recent magnetophotoluminescence data on T-shaped quantum wires is reinterpreted based on a detailed theory of magnetoexcitons in T-shaped quantum wires. We show
This paper presents an overview of the primary calibration of radioactive gas standards using length-compensated internal gas counters. The principal of length
We show that the phase structure of layered two-dimensional (2D) sine-Gordon systems, which interact via an interlayer coupling, depends on the number of layers
This article describes the scaling of plane-wave Born cross sections for the excitation of the H2 molecule to four low-lying electronic states (B singlet Sigma
We present a scheme for the signal extraction for LISA. The underlying principle is demonstrated and an experimental setup for testing thescheme is shown. We
Instrumental capabilities for both relative and absolute gravity measurements have evolved over the past 40 years to the point where today measurements can be

We show that a modified Bloch equation for the electronic magnetic moment is necessary when the magnetic moment explicitly contains a diamagnetic contribution
Silicon-based particles that grow in a silane radio frequency (RF) discharge are studied by light scattering. Average particle size and the corresponding

Energy levels, radiative transition probabilities, and autoionization rates for C-like oxygen (O$^2+}$) including $1s^22s^22pnl$, $1s^22s2p^2nl$, and $1s^22p
Near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) is being studied to achieve optical resolution much better than the diffraction limit. Improved resolution is

For the measurements of radiance temperatures in the range from 150 ?C to 1000 ?C, low uncertainties in the temperature measurements can be achieved by using
The numerical solution of most problems in theoretical chemistry involve either the use of a basis set expansion (spectral method) or a numerical grid. For many
An approach to screening a core hole s potential in solids for purposes such as theoretical near-edge spectrum calculations is developed. In this approach, the
Superconducting quantum circuits, fabricated with multiple layers, are proposed to implement perfect quantum state transfer between nodes of a hypercube network
Preparing many body entangled states efficiently using available interactions is a challenging task. One solution may be to couple a system collectively with a
Radioanalytical performance testing programs provide radioassay laboratories, regulators and the public performance-based evidence that measurement capabilities
Recently, Meyer and Wallach [D.A. Meyer and N.R. Wallach (2002), J. of Math. Phys., 43, pp. 4273] proposed a measure of multi-qubit entanglement that is a
We have measured the temperature dependence of the superconductive critical magnetic field of several samples of beryllium from three different sources. The
Recently reported micro-ring resonator filters have demonstrated their compactness and signal processing functions. These features are attractive for large
