We report damage threshold measurement results for novel absorbers comprised of either liquid-cooled silicon carbide or vitreous carbon foams. The measurements...

As the base unit of time interval, the second holds a place of preeminence in the world of metrology. Time interval, and its reciprocal, frequency, can be...

Multilayers are artificially layered structures that can be used to create optics and optical elements for a broad range of x-ray wavelengths, or can be...
We describe a new model of pulse oximetry that addresses the disagreement between theoretical calibration curves based on Beer-Lambert's Law and test results...

A capacitance scaling system from 10 nF to 100 mF [1], [2] has been implemented at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Standard four...
Stark shifts of potassium and rubidium D1 lines have been measured with high precision by Miller et al [1]. In this work, we combine these measurements with our...

A layer structure consisting of two glass plates bonded with polymer-based adhesives and loaded at the upper surface with a line indenter is used to evaluate...

We examine the effects of small-scale, hexagonal, lateral confinement on microdomain ordering in $AB$ diblock copolymer thin films using self-consistent field...

We present two strategies for multi-way testing (i.e., t-way testing with t > 2). The first strategy generalizes an existing strategy, called In-Parameter-Order...

We investigate cooling mechanisms in magneto-optically and magnetically trapped erbium. We find efficient sub-Doppler cooling in our trap, which can persist...
The object of this paper is to discuss evolution of the concept of uncertainty in measurement and methods for its quantification from the classical error...

The spin dynamics of sub-100 nm Ni80Fe20 nanomagnets are directly measured using the magneto-optic Kerr effect and a broadband detection scheme. Elliptical dots...
Using finite element analysis, we calculate the temperature range and the resulting cyclic Von Mises strain resulting from Joule heating, generated by the...

We investigate the temporal dynamics of Doppler cooling of a single trapped atom in the weak binding regime using a semi-classical model. We develop an...
This article provides a high-level overview of the history, results and impact of NIST's Text REtrieval Conference (TREC). The article will appear in a special...
We present a new digital-signal-processor-based resonance tracking system for scanned probe microscopy (SPM) imaging. The system was developed to enable...

Electrospray-differential mobility analysis (ES-DMA) represents an attractive tool to determine directly the coverage and conformation of long, flexible...
Ensuring high object interoperability is a goal of integration testing for object-oriented software. When messages are sent, receiving objects should respond as...

Linear dichroism measurements on aqueous solutions of dispersed, size fractionated, single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are presented. The degree of SWNT...
