We determined the zero-density viscosity eta of hydrogen, methane and argon in the temperature range 200 K to 400 K, with standard uncertainties of 0.084 % for hydrogen and argon and 0.096 % for methane. These uncertainties are dominated by the uncertainty

Photoemission spectra have been used to determine the energy-level alignment and work function of monolayers of 4,4'-bis-(phenylethynyl)benzenethiol, 2 naphthalene thiol, and 3-(naphthalen-2-yl)propane-1-thiol self-assembled on Ag, Cu, Au, and Pt. For each

Using a quasi-spherical, microwave cavity resonator, we measured the refractive index of helium to deduce its molar polarizability A ε in the limit of zero density. We obtained (A ε,meas - A ε,theory)/A ε = (-1.8plus or minus} 8.4)× 10 -6, where the
The interactions between cholesterol and saturated phospholipids in hybrid bilayer membranes (HBMs) were investigated using the interface-sensitive technique of vibrational sum frequency spectroscopy (VSFS). The unique sensitivity of VSFS to order/disorder

The chelation dynamics of three new [Cr{?6-C6H5C(O)R}(CO)3] complexes 1 (R = CH2(SCH3)), 2 (R = CH(SCH3)2), and 3 (R = C(SCH3)3) in room temperature heptane, THF, and acetonitrile solutions have been investigated on the picosecond to millisecond timescale

The main gel-to-liquid-crystal (LC) phase transition temperature, Tm, of the distal lipid layer in hybrid bilayer membranes (HBMs) under water was investigated using vibrational sum frequency spectroscopy (VSFS). VSFS has unique sensitivity to order
We probed four closely spaced rovibrational water vapor absorption transitions near wavenumber = 7100 cm(^-1) using frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectroscopy. Room-temperature spectra were acquired for pure water vapor in the Doppler limit and for

In this work, the species present in the gas phase during atomic layer deposition of hafnium oxide were investigated in an attempt to gain insight into the chemistry of this system. Hafnium oxide was deposited on a silicon substrate using tetrakis
We consider a two-state system driven by an on-resonance, continuous wave pump laser and a much weaker pulsed probe laser that is slightly detuned from the pump laser frequency usually this detuning is about p −P=1 kHz. The upper state population is
We investigate an active Raman gain scheme for significant group velocity reduction. We show that this scheme, which is fundamentally different from the electromagnetically induced transparency scheme, is capable of achieving ultraslow and distortion-free
We study the formation of a nonlinear localized high-dimensional optical beam in a lifetime- broadened three-state atomic system. We show that stable high-dimensional spatial optical solitons with extremely weaklight intensity can occur in such a highly
