An overview is given of current work projects of Technical Committee 201 on Surface Chemical Analysis of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). ISTO/TC 201 has subcommittees for Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), secondary ion mass
We report on a fully nonequilibrium theory of the scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) through resonances induced by impurity atoms adsorbed on metal surfaces. The theory takes into account the effect of the tunneling current and finite bias on the system
Reported are the results of a Raman spectroscopic study of a set of chemical-vapor-deposited (CVD) diamond wafers of known thermal conductivity (k). The spectra are obtained at laser wavelengths 514.5, 785 and 1064 nm. The Raman features of these spectra

Cylindrical acoustic resonators developed at Niational Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are routinely used to measure the speed of sound in gases with uncertainties of 0.01%, or less. The pressure dependence of the data is fitted with model
This chapter describes microscopes and microprobes used for analysis of collected, individual particles. The instruments discussed are the light microscope, electron microscopes (scanning, environmental and transmission), electron microprobes, laser

To achieve the future goals for logic device dielectric film thickness and composition metrology, a set of well-characterized calibration reference material standards are needed for validating real-time diagnostic techniques used during production. However
This, the second in a series of articles present a new framework for considering the computation of uncertainty in electron excited X-ray microanalysis measurements, will discuss matrix correction. The framework presented in the first article will be

The book is about mass spectrometry, design of instruments, theoretical aspects and methodological approaches, includes exercises. Portions of the book developed from lecture and laboratory material used presenting a course in organic mass spectrometry at
Senescence of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells is a crucial event in the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). ARPE-19 is a nontransformed human RPE cell line that displays many differentiated properties typical of RPE in vivo. The
The NBS involvement in the development of single atom electron spectroscopy at surfaces, as realized in field emission resonance tunneling and reported in the seminal paper by E.W. Plummer, J.W. Gadzuk and R.D. Young is described.
