Device and Technology Evolution for Si-Based RF Integrated Circuits

Author(s)
Herbert S. Bennett, Ralf Brederlow, Julio Costa, Peter Cottrell, Margaret Huang, Anthony A. Immorlica, Jan-Erik Mueller, Marco Racanelli, Hisashi Shichijo, Charles E. Weitzel, Bin Zhao
The relationships between device feature size and device performance figures of merit (FoMs) are more complex for RF applications than for digital applications...

Road Sign Detection and Recognition

Author(s)
Michael O. Shneier
Road sign detection is important to a robotic vehicle that automatically drives on roads. In this paper, road signs are detected by means of rules that restrict...

Low Jitter Metal Vapor Vacuum Arc Ion Source for EBIT Injections

Author(s)
G Holland, Craig N. Boyer, J Seely, Joseph N. Tan, Joshua M. Pomeroy, John D. Gillaspy
A metal vapor vacuum arc (MeVVA) ion source having eight different cathodes that are individually selectable via the control electronics and having low trigger...

A Polarizable Model for Ethylene Oxide

Author(s)
Raymond D. Mountain
A series of interaction models for ethylene oxide are developed for use in molecular simulation of the thermal properties of both the gas and liquid phases...

Noise-free high-efficiency photon-number-resolving detectors

Author(s)
Danna Rosenberg, Adriana Lita, Aaron J. Miller, Sae Woo Nam
High-efficiency optical detectors that can determine the number of photons in a pulse of monochromatic light have applications in a variety of physics studies...

Rapid Formation of Soft Hydrophilic Silicone Elastomer Surfaces

Author(s)
K Efimenko, J A. Crowe, E Manias, D W. Schwark, Daniel A. Fischer, Jan Genzer
We report on the rapid formation of hydrophilic silicone elastomer surfaces by ultraviolet/zone (UVO) irradiation of poly(vinylmethyl siloxane) (PVMS) network...

Dilute Al-Mn Alloys for Superconductor Tunneling and Other Devices

Author(s)
Steve T. Ruggiero, G. B. Arnold, A Williams, Anna Clark, Nathan A. Tomlin, Joel Ullom
We present tunneling results for junctions comprising Mn doped Al films produced by sputter deposition, with Mn oncentrations in the range of 5000 ppm. Our...

Details of the Sequential Steps in Magnetocaloric Regeneration

Author(s)
F Shir, Lawrence H. Bennett, Edward Della Torre, C Mavriplis, L Yanik, Robert D. Shull
We report on the first demonstration of the four sequential steps in magnetocaloric regeneration of a magnetocaloric material: magnetization, warm blow...

The Measurement of Optical Frequencies

Author(s)
Leo W. Hollberg, Scott A. Diddams, A Bartels, Tara M. Fortier, Kyoungsik Kim
Even the suggestion of counting optical frequencies in the visible (~ 500 THz) must have seemed ludicrous to many in the past, because traditional methods...

Microfabricated atomic frequency references

Author(s)
John E. Kitching, Svenja A. Knappe, Li-Anne Liew, John Moreland, P Schwindt, V Shah, Vladislav Gerginov, Leo W. Hollberg
Using microfabrication processes, we have been able to construct physics packages for vapour cell atomic frequency references 100¿ smaller than previously...

Nanometer Gaps in Gold Wires Are Formed By Thermal Migration

Author(s)
Ganesh K. Ramachandran, Monica D. Edelstein, David L. Blackburn, John S. Suehle, Eric M. Vogel, Curt A. Richter
The formation of gold wires separated by a few nanometers is reported. Such nanometer separated gaps are formed by ramping, at ambient conditions, a bias...
