One- and two-photon photoemission spectra have been measured for monolayers of oligo(para-phenylene-ethynylene) thiolate chemisorbed on gold surfaces. Within 5...
A magneto-optic trap with feedback-controlled loading and loss rates is used to realize a deterministic source of single Cr atoms with single-atom occupation...
The propagation behavior (subcritical crack growth) of machining induced cracks in silicon nitride was investigated by conducting constant stress (CS) and...
The strengths of fine microstructural scale yttria stabilized rectangular bars and circular disks were measured by four-point flexure and by flat ball (piston)...
Measuring and understanding the mechanical properties of nanolayered composites has been a recent area of active investigation. These materials are of...

In this work a two-particle irreducible (2PI) closed-time-path (CTP) effective action is used to describe the nonequilibrium dynamics of a Bose Einstein...
Ion-induced damage of polymers is a critical factor in the depth profiling of polymer surfaces using polyatomic primary ions. However, little work has been done...
Control of protein adsorption onto solid surfaces is a critical area of biomaterials and biosensors research. Application of high performance surface analysis...
NIST played a crucial role in the early days of the Human Genome Project in supporting and rapidly accelerating the pace of sequencing and diagnostics...
