A problem that arises when using acousto-optic modulators (AOMs) to scan the laser frequency is the dependence of the beam diffraction angle on the modulation...
An adiabatic calorimeter was used to measure the enthalpy of solution of potassium tetrafluoroborate (0.01mol kg^-1 to 0.02 mol kg^-1) into water and into...
As ASTM International Committee F40 on Declarable Substances in Materials begins its work, ASTM wants to inform all members and stakeholders of the mission...
This article describes activity modeling as specified by the Systems Modeling Language (SysML) and the finalization of the Unified Modeling Language version 2...

We have made tall, uniform stacked Josephson junction arrays by developing an etch process using an inductively coupled plasma etcher. This process produces...
This paper presents a new method to determine both the magnitude and the sign of the surface stresses that develop as a consequence of sodium/hydrogen ion...

The Mott insulator state created by loading an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) into an optical lattice may be used as a means to prepare a register of...
A description is given of a new NIST database for quantitative Auger-electron and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AES/XPS): Simulation of Electron Spectra for...
