New methods have been developed to measure of pore size distributions in 1 mm films deposited on silicon wafers. Specular x-ray reflectivity (SXR) and small
In-plane and out-of-plane ferromagnetic resonance measurements were performed on arrays of Permalloy rectangles, prepared by interference lithography. In the

In recent work on phase equilibria relations in the BaO:Fe 2o 3:Tio 2 system, numerous ternary compounds were found. Most of the newly found compounds are
We give a possible explanation of the remarkable habit-plane measurements reported by Kajiwara for Fe-Ni-Mn alloys. Examining small, thin (early-stage)

In March 2002 NIST became the lead agency in an investigation of the World Trade Center collapse. The investigation addresses many aspects of the catastrophe
Nanoindentation of single crystals has been a topic of recent investigations. This is a result of their ability to withstand near theoretical stresses without
The characteristics and performances of the NIST High Purity Germanium (HPGe), Sodium Iodide (NaI(Tl)) and Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) gamma-ray detectors were
Our current spectral radiance and irradiance scales are derived from the radiance temperature determination of a blackbody at the freezing point of gold (GPBB)
Recently, there have been significant advances in measuring and controlling the phase of ultrashort optical pulses. These developments have begun to blur the
