The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has completed its four-year investigation of the World Trade Center disaster. The investigation...
A model of ferromagnetic resonance in inhomogeneous films is described that includes interactions in a mean-field approximation. The mean-field model yields...
Self-hardening calcium phosphate cements (CPC) have been the subject of considerable interest in biomaterials research, especially as a bone graft material. The...
Significant crystallization is observed via atomic force microscopy and x-ray diffraction in spin-cast polymer thin films with thickness ranging from 5 microns...
Our field, solid-sold phase transformations, grew out of ancient crafts with their own paradigms. The creation of new paradigms has been a slow process with...
We review our recent theoretical and simulation work on dynamical heterogeneity and correlated particle motion in glass-forming liquids and polymers. We...
The crystallography program at the American Dental Association Health Foundation, Paffenbarger Research Center, National Institute of Standards and Technology...
A novel in situ TEM sample geometry has been developed for the controlled deformation and fracture of brittle and semi-brittle materials inside the TEM. It...
Type I collagen fibrils are essential components of teeth, bones, and other anatomical structures. A clear understanding of fibril characteristics could be of...
The effects of combinations of octadedral tilts on the symmetries of layered A nB nX 3n+2 structures were considered. Two complimentary approaches were used to...
ckground: A tooth broken subsequent to laryngoscopy was fractographically analyzed. The science of fractography involves examination of fracture surfaces to...
This study examined whether fluoride in a resin-based Ca-PO4 cements (RCPC) or a barrier of a bonding agent could compromise the remineralization potential of...
We take the formulation of steady-state diffusion-induced grain boundary motion from our earlier work [1], and combine it with the results of Mullins' theory...
We present a tunable sigmoidal wetting transition from superhydrophobicity (CA > 170o) to superhydrophilicity (CA 10o) on a single nanostructured hybrid film...
The influence of chloride adsorption and lead upd on the step dynamics of Cu(100) has been examined in acid perchlorate solution. A c(2x2) Cl adlayer is formed...
Current underfill materials generally consist of an epoxy resin filled withsilica particles and are designed to reduce stresses arising from the difference in...
This paper describes the fluorescence behavior of anthracene and Re(CO) 3CIL, (where L=4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline) in a commercial bone cement. New in...

In this chapter, the key results and analyses leading to the choice of tin-silver-copper alloys by NEMI as the new national standard Pb-free solder system are...
The circulating states of a Bose-Einstein condensate confined in an annulus are investigated both analytically and numerically. It is demonstrated that while...
We present a general, semi-microscopic, self-consistent treatment of spontaneous emission for a two-level atom in a dielectric microcavity with arbitrary shape...
Hau and her colleagues suggest that their newly demonstrated ability to control the flow of optical information may have technological relevance in the quantum...
We show, experimentally and numerically, that Ti: sapphire mode-locked lasers can operate in a regime in which they produce exploding solitons. This happens...
Since the establishment of the International Temperature Scale of 1190 (ITS-90), much progress has been made in the development of radiometers and blackbody...

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...
We experimentally observe polarization-locked vector solitons in optical fiber. Polarization locked-vector solitons use nonlinearity to preserve their...
This paper presents an overview of the primary calibration of radioactive gas standards using length-compensated internal gas counters. The principal of length...
