Practical electron-tunneling refrigerator

Author(s)
Anna Clark, Anthony Williams, Steve Ruggiero, Marcel L. van den Berg, Joel N. Ullom
We demonstrate a thin-film, solid-state refrigerator based on the removal of hot electrons from a metal by quantum-mechanical tunneling. We have halved the...

Adiabatic Loading of Bosons Into Optical Lattices

Author(s)
P B. Blakie, James V. Porto
We calculate the entropy-temperature curves for non-interacting bosons in a 3D optical lattice and a 2D lattice with transverse harmonic confinement for ranges...

Direct-Current Induced Dynamics in Co90Fe10/Ni80Fe20 Point Contacts

Author(s)
William Rippard, Matthew Pufall, Shehzaad F. Kaka, Stephen E. Russek, Thomas J. Silva
We have directly measured coherent high-frequency magnetization dynamics in ferromagnetic films induced by a spin-polarized dc current. The precision frequency...

NIST-NPL Interlaboratory Pulse Measurement Comparison

Author(s)
Nicholas Paulter, A. G. Smith, Donald R. Larson, T. M. Souders, A. G. Roddie
A comparison of the pulse parameter values obtained from the pulse measurement services of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, USA and the...

Quantum Dense Coding with Atomic Qubits

Author(s)
T Schaetz, Murray D. Barrett, Dietrich G. Leibfried, J Chiaverini, Joseph W. Britton, Wayne M. Itano, John D. Jost, Christopher Langer, David J. Wineland
We report the implementation of quantum dense coding on individual atomic qubits with the use of two trapped 9Be+ ions. The protocol is implemented with a...

Toward Heisenberg-Limited Spectroscopy with Multiparticle Entangled States

Author(s)
Dietrich G. Leibfried, Murray D. Barrett, T Schaetz, Joseph W. Britton, J Chiaverini, Wayne M. Itano, John D. Jost, Christopher Langer, David J. Wineland
The precision in spectroscopy of any quantum system is fundamentally limited by the Heisenberg uncertainty relation for energy and time. For N systems, this...

Micro-Differential Scanning Calorimeter for Combustible Gas Sensing

Author(s)
Richard E. Cavicchi, G Poirier, N H. Tea, Muhammad Y. Afridi, David W. Berning, Allen R. Hefner Jr., John S. Suehle, Michael Gaitan, Stephen Semancik, Christopher B. Montgomery
A micron-scale differential scanning calorimeter (mDSC) has been produced on a silicon chip allowing for microscopic differential scanning calorimetry...

Virtual Testing of Ready-Mixed Concrete

Author(s)
Jeffrey W. Bullard
The development of a virtual testing system is no small task. It requires fundamental scientific research into the physics, chemistry, and materials science of...
