The magnetic microstructure responsible for the metastable high resistance state of weakly coupled, as-prepared [Co(6nm)/Cu(6nm)] 20 multilayer was analyzed...
In this prescription we'll describe one technique for working with extremely large integers having perhaps thousands of digits, using only standard hardware and...
A number of projects within the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have addressed the visual presentation and evaluation of search results...
The increasingly pervasive influence of information technology on daily life makes accessibility a higher priority than ever before. Millions of blind and...

The rate of magnetization change (magnetic aftereffect) which occurs after the magnetic field applied to a magnetic material is switched suddenly to a new value...
Total energy calculations were performed for three perovskite related ordered supercells in several stoichiometries of A(B,B')O 3; where A = Pb 2+, Ba 2+ and B...

An integrated circuit interconnect was subject to accelerated-life conditions to induce an electromigration void. The silicon substrate was removed, leaving...
An ambient temperature Infrared Spectral Responsivity Comparator Facility has been developed at NIST to calibrate infrared detectorsand radiometers for spectral...
Simultaneous or double vibrational collision-induced absorptions in compressed gas mixtures were extensively studied 30-40 years ago. Due to both their large...
It has been claimed by Khare, Sharma and Tomar (1999 J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 32, 3147) that the binary-encounter dipole (BED) model and its simpler...
