New observations of the spectra of neutral Ne, Kr, and Xe in the region 0.7 to 5.0 m with the 2-m NIST FTS provide precise new wavelengths and resolve questions...
Nanoscale dots created on the surface of a HOPG sample by bombardment with individual highly charged xenon projectile ions were observed using an in-situ...

A high-resolution flat crystal gamma-ray facility, GAMS4, has been constructed at the high flux reactor at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), Grenoble, France...
A review is given of experiments that have been used to infer an upper bound on the degree (b2) to which the symmetrization postulate might be violated in...
Recently, an electron backscatter diffraction EBSD system was developed that uses a 1024 x 1024 CCD camera coupled to a thin scintillator rather than...
Contrast in photon quantum yield between photo-oxidized and reduced thiols comprising a mixed amphiphile monolayer on Au(111) was observed using a photon...
During the past century, the Van der Waals Laboratory at the University of Amsterdam has been the principal provider of reliable fluid property data over large...
Recently, an electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) system was developed that uses a 1024 x 1024 CCD camera coupled to a thin phosper. This camera has been...
The results of a preliminary molecular dynamics study of ion (NA+ and Cl-) solvation and association in water, acetonitrile, and aqueous acetonitrile are...
This paper reports on the past, present, and future of length and dimensional measurements at NIST. It covers the evolution of the SI unit of length through its...
The most important actions to ensure the correct indication of measuring instruments are:--In industrial metrology, regular calibration of the measuring...

Microwave atomic clocks have been the de facto standards for precision time and frequency metrology over the past 50 years, finding widespread use in basic...
The mechanical behavior of adhesive bonds is of interest in a variety of technological applications, including traditional adhesive bonds, laminated structures...
hesion at the fiber matrix interface of composite specimens is often ascribed to the following factors (Sharpe and Drzal): (1) mechanical interlocking, (2)...

The current generation of hard disk drives use Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) spin valves as the read-head because the GMR effect is currently the most sensitive...
We propose a theory for a type of apertureless scanning near field microscopy that is intended to allow the measurement of magnetism on a nanometer length scale...
