Fundamental studies of the early-age desiccation of cement-based materials with and without a shrinkage-reducing admixture (SRA) have been performed. Studies
For a binary mixture of a dilute nonvolatile solute in a volatile solvent, an asymptotic expression is derived for isothermal dew-bubble curves in the region
An integrating sphere system has been designed and constructed for multiple optical property measurement in the infrared spectral range. In particular, for
A recent workshop at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) identified research and standards that will benefit users and manufacturers of
Although fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are increasingly being used for the renewal of civil infrastructure, there are still some major questions
The standard test method for evaluaating sealant performance is the ASTM C719; a threshold or torture test bsed upon the pioneering work of NIST researcher
Molecular dynamics simulations are used to generate the composition and orientation profiles for thin, water-acetontitrile films. The liquid-vapor interfaces of

In this work we show how carbon near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) can be applied to detect both surface and bulk segmental relaxation in
Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) is often considered synonymous with SIMS in the static limit where the ion fluence on the sample
Our starting point is an algorithm of Kenyon, Randall, and Sinclair, which built upon the ideas of Jerrum and Sinclair, giving an approximation to crucial
Many applications new use different materials that are fabricated into structures to obtain the desired combination of properties or to suit particular needs
In previous papers, we have introduced a percolation model for the transport of strain through a deforming metal. In this paper, we review the results from that

Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act mandated that soldered joints used in potable water systems be free of lead. In addition to lead contents, allowable
New solder alloys are being developed for electronic assemblies as replacements for traditional Pb-containing solder materials as a result of international

The magnetization reversal processes in an epitaxial Fe/Sm 2Co 7 structure were investigated using the magneto-optical indicator film technique. The dependence
The progression of intramolecular organizations within a series of dilute poly(amino amine) (PAMAM) dendrimer/methanol solutions is examined by use of small

Using dynamic methods, we measured the elastic constants of a composite comprising alumina platelets (0.2 volume fraction) in a 3:2-mullite matrix. Instead of
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are unique light sources differing greatly from traditional lamps in terms of physical size, flux level, spectrum and spatial
We examine different solutions of multi-band k.p Hamiltonians. We refer mainly to the intrinsic surface states, with energies in the forbidden energy gap, that
We describe a laser system for very high-accuracy dimensional metrology. A sealed-cavity helium-neon laser is offset-locked to an iodine-stabilized laser in
When a Ne:OCS sample was codeposited at approximately 5 K with a beam of neon atoms that were excited in a microwave discharge, the infrared spectrum of the
Although hot-wire chemical vapor deposition (HWCVD) involves far fewer species than plasma enhanced CVD, I have used some physics and chemistry in the title

We report extensions and corrections to the measurement of the Feshbach resonance in 85Rb cold atom collisions reported earlier (J.L. Roberts et al., Phys. Rev

As part of an effort to develop high resolution microtomography for engineered structures, a two-level copper integrated circuit interconnect was imaged using 1
Three general classes of skewed data distributions have been encountered in our research on background radiation, chemical and radiochemical blanks, and low
