This paper examines the measurement uncertainty of small circular features as a function of the sampling strategy; i.e., the number and distribution of...
The longitudinal thermal diffusivity of three thin long bars of chemical vapor deposited diamond has been measured by a modification of the one dimensional...

We have extended two-photon Doppler-free spectroscopy to the vacuum ultraviolet spectral region to accurately measure the He 1 1S - 2 1S transition at 120 nm...
The polarization-resolved photoabsorption cross section has been calculated in the vicinity of the 3p--->3d giant dipole resonances of Fe [45-65 eV] and Mn 45...
The polarization of light scattered into directions out of the plane of incidence is calculated for microroughness, defects, or particles in or near a...

Polymer composites are finding increased utilization in infrastructure applications where long-term structural performance is required. An important barrier to...
A recently developed model of curvature-driven, two-dimensional microstructure evolution is modified to include elastic strain energy at solid-fluid interfaces...

We investigate limits on the thermal-response time of supercondcuting transition-edge microcalorimeters. For operation at 0.1 K, we show that the lower limit on...

A study is made of crack patterns in two model coating/substrate bilayer systems conceived to simulate crown and tooth structures, at opposite extremes of...
The authors demonstrate the first Er/Yb codoped waveguide laser in Ti:LiNbO 3. The device was fabricated on x-cut LiNbO 3 with the guides parallel to the x-axis...

Sophisticated network storage management applications are rapidly evolving to satisfy a market demand for highly reliable data storage systems with tremendous...
An experimental investigation is presented to identify the mechanisms responsible for the enhanced sooting behavior of strongly flickering methane/air jet...
