Abstract: We compute power-voltage, power-current, and causal definitions of the characteristic impedance of microstrip and coplanar-waveguide transmission...
The fundamental principles for chemical analysis by optical methods are established. However, only recent advances in instrumentation and spectroscopic...
It has been postulated that the in vivo resorption rates of calcium-phosphate bone-graft materials are closely related to their dissolution rates in...
In this article an accurate confidence interval is derived when the results of a small number of different experimental methods are combined for the...
The NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions (DLMF) Project, begun in 1997, is preparing a handbook and Web site intended for wide communities of users...
Bluetooth is a cable replacement technology for Wireless Personal Area Networks. It is designed to support a wide variety of applications such as voice...
The atomic force microscope is used to explore the nature of fracture surfaces in soda lime silicate glass formed near or below the apparent crack growth...

Partial-melt processing of Bi2+xSr2-x-yCa1+yCu2O8+d (Bi-2212) thick film conductors with additions of nanophase Al2O3 on Ag foils was studied for dual purposes...
In this paper we discuss the application of pulsed laser deposition (PLD) to combinatorial materials research on inorganic thin films. The modifications to an...
At high temperatures, polycrystalline materials often suffer creep fracture under prolonged loading conditions. Microstructural examinations revealthat...
Detailed ferromagnetic resonance measurements on the thin Ni{ 80}Fe{ 20} films are described that determine characteristics of intrinsic damping and the effects...
Our first-principles calculations demonstrate that C 60-nB n/C 60-mNm molecules could be engineered acceptor/donor pair needed for molecular electronics by...
Electron and hole states of multishell CdS/HgS/CdS quantum-dot quantum-well nanocrystals are determined by use of atomistic tight-binding theory. Single...
We discuss the dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate initially loaded into every third site of an optical lattice using a description based upon discrete...
H 2O-containing permeation tubes are a key component of permeation tube humidity generators (PTGs). These devices are widely used for calibrating atmospheric...
