The microstructure and chemistry of (Ba,Sr)TiO 3 thin films deposited on Pt/SiO 2/Si substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition were studied using
Not only because of its historic and widespread use in applications where its strength and brittle nature are significant factors, but also because it is

Multilayer media are of increasing importance as magneto-optic and perpendicular media. The properties of successive layers evolve as the layers are epitaxially
The boundary lubrication characteristics of sulfonates, phenates, and salicylates in a silicon nitride on silicon nitride contact were investigated. The
Plastic flow surfaces for metal and metal/composite powder compacts with variable cohesive strength are derived using the Beltrami total strain energy criterion

The effect of the instantaneous application of an electric current during the directional solidification of a binary alloy is considered. The initial state
Emission experiments, performed at NIST and the Ruhr University, have provided sensitive tests of recent atomic structure calculations. Somewhat surprisingly
At the ultracold temperatures which occur in cold atom traps and Bose-Einstein condensates only a few partial waves contribute to the scattering of ground-state
The polarization of light scattered by oxide films thermally grown on photolithographically-generated microrough silicon surfaces was measured as functions of
We present detailed considerations on the achievable sensitivity in the measurement of birefringence using a high finesse optical cavity, emphasizing techniques
We survey the optical materials and detector characterization issues relevant to 193 nm and 157 nm optical lithography for semiconductor microelectronics
We demonstrate a new heterodyne Michelson interferometer design for displacement measurements capable of fringe interpolation accuracy of one part in 36,000
We have developed an electrically substituted bolometer (ESB) to serve as a portable transfer-standard detector over the full wavelength range from 200 nm to 20

We report the observation of plasma oscillations in an ultracold neutral plasma. Using this collective mode, we probe the electron density distribution and
8-hydroxyguanine (8-OH-Gua) is one of many lesions generated in DNA by oxidative processes including free radicals. It is the most extensively investigated
The speed of sound in gaseous hydrogen bromide (HBr) and boron trichloride (BCl^3^) was measured using a highly precise acoustic resonance technique. The HBr
In this article, we present a simple method for improving the contact between a film sample and the internal reflection element (or crystal) when diffusion into

In situ Raman spectroscopy was employed to investigate iron corrosion in air-saturated water at a pressure of 25.1 MPa and temperatures from 21 to 537 C. Upon
We have investigated the effect of single amino acid substitutions of conserved arginines on the catalytic activities of the human Ogg1 protein (α-hOgg1-Ser 326
The pressure and Vacuum Group at NIST has piloted a pressure comparison under the auspices of the Measurement comparison program committee for the NCSL. A 1.4
The Biotechnology Division is the focus of the NIST effort addressing measurement science and data needs for the emerging biotechnology industry. The Division
We describe toroidal cross capacitors built to accurately measure the dielectric constant of gases. We tested the capacitors by measuring the dielectric

The Acetyl-TESHHK-amide peptide, modeling a part of the C-terminal tailof histone H2A, was found previously by us to undergo at pH 7.4 a Ni(II)-assisted
Process planning and manufacturing execution software systems provide two major functions in a product development cycle. Industries require the systems that
A new traveling-wave semiconductor optical amplifier using self-assembled quantum dots as the gain medium is proposed and analyzed. Cross-gain modulation is
The 85th annual meeting of the National Conference on Weights and Measures will be held in Richmond, VA, July 16-20, 2000. The theme of the Conference is Basic
The effect of polydispersity on structure development in linear polyethylenes is studied by simultaneous real time small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) and wide
