Quantum dot lasers with an active region consisting of just a single quantum dot layer have been grown using molecular beam epitaxy and characterized from 80 to...
The development of architectures for control systems has been an active area of research for at least twenty years. This research has produced many different...
Discretizing the first-kind integral equations which model many physical measurement processes yields an ill-conditioned linear regression model. Least squares...
Previous numerical studies based on the Landau Lifshitz Gilbert (LLG) equation have considered the magnetization reversal of a uniaxial, single-domain particle...

The thermal stability of Cu-Co 'bottom' spin valve structures deposited on NiO has been assessed as a function of temperature, time, and cap layer composition...
This notice restates the interpretation of the international System of Units [SI] for the United States by the Department of Commerce. This interpretation was...
Optical computer aided tomography (CAT) is being investigated as a potential in situ diagnostic for measuring plasma uniformity without making assumptions...
Bi-directional ellipsometry results are presented for scatter from SiO 2 films grown on photolithographically produced microrough silicon surfaces. The...
Angular resolved photoelectron spectroscopy measurements on the O 2 molecule are reported β-parameters and vibrational branching ratios have been calculated...
A pyroelectric detector was calibrated against the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) High Accuracy Cryogenic Radiometer (HACR) at 10.6 um...

We have developed a near-field scanning optical microscope that provides simultaneous transmission and reflection mode measurements while concurrently recording...
Molecular dynamics simulations are employed to calculate infinite dilution activity coefficients of water and methanol-like species in binary mixtures using a...
The absorption spectrum of aqueous Co++ is reinterpreted in light of ab initio calculations. MCSCF and MR-MP calculations yield the spectral states and their...
We have implemented an automated, nonmechanical approach to the measurement of polarization dependent loss (and, equivalently, gain). We use a deterministic...
In this paper, a matrix formulation of magnetoresistance is presented for an arbitrary J-fold multicarrier system which is based on the reduced-conductivity...

Fluorinated alkanethiol self assembled monolayers (SAM) films immobilized on gold substrates have been used as electron-sensitive resists to map quantitatively...
Angle-dependent total reflection x-ray fluorescence (TRXF) is used to characterize the surface roughness or the extent of planarization of a thin polymer...
Molecular dynamics simulations for liquid methanol are used to estimate the dielectric constant and shear viscosity. A rigid, fixed-charge, three-site model is...
A scaling-law crossover thermodynamic model is applied to caloric properties of five binary mixtures, carbon dioxide + ethane, ethane + propane, n-pentane +...
