Lateral Tip Control Effects in CD-AFM Metrology: The Large Tip Limit

January 25, 2016
Author(s)
Ronald G. Dixson, Ndubuisi G. Orji, Ryan Goldband
Sidewall sensing in CD-AFMs usually involves continuous lateral dithering of the tip or the use of a control algorithm and fast response piezo actuator to position the tip in a manner that resembles touch-triggering of coordinate measuring machine (CMM)

Metrological challenges for measurements of key climatological observables: Oceanic salinity and pH, and atmospheric humidity. Part 1: overview

December 15, 2015
Author(s)
Rainer Feistel, Robert Wielgosz, Stephanie A. Bell, M F. Camoes, J R. Cooper, P Dexter, A G. Dickson, P Fisicaro, Allan H. Harvey, M Heinonen, Olaf Hellmuth, H J. Kretzschmar, J W. Lovell-Smith, Trevor J. McDougall, R Pawlowicz, S Seitz, Petra Spitzer, D Stoica, H Wolf, P Ridout
Water in its three ambient phases plays the dominant thermodynamic role for the functioning principles of the terrestrial climate system. Together with clouds, water vapour in the atmosphere is the strongest greenhouse gas (followed by clouds and carbon

An Industrial Control System Cybersecurity Performance Testbed

December 10, 2015
Author(s)
Richard Candell, Timothy A. Zimmerman, Keith A. Stouffer
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is developing a cybersecurity performance testbed for industrial control systems. The goal of the testbed is to measure the performance of industrial control systems (ICS) when instrumented with

Uranium removal from seawater by means of polyamide 6 fibers directly grafted with diallyl oxalate through a single-step, solvent-free irradiation process

December 4, 2015
Author(s)
Travis C. Dietz, Claire E. Tomaszewski, Zois Tsinas, Dianne L. Poster, Aaron Barkatt, Mohammad Adel-Hadadi, Fred B. Bateman, Lonnie Cumberland, Erich Schneider, Karen Gaskell, Jay LaVerne, Mohamad Al-Sheikhly
To test the effectiveness of oxalate-based polymeric adsorbents in the recovery of uranium from seawater, diallyl oxalate (DAOx) was grafted onto polyamide 6 fabrics by exposing the fabric, immersed in pure liquid DAOx or in a surfactant stabilized

Noncontact conductivity and dielectric measurement for high throughput roll-to-roll nanomanufacturing

November 23, 2015
Author(s)
Nathan D. Orloff, Christian J. Long, Jan Obrzut, Laurent Millaud, Francesca Mirri, Thomas R. Kole, Robert D. McMichael, Mattei Pasquali, Stephan J. Stranick, James A. Liddle
Advances in roll-to-roll processing of graphene [1] and carbon nanotube [2] have at last led to the continuous production of high-quality coatings and filaments, ushering in a wave of applications for flexible [3], [4] and wearable [5] electronics, woven

MEASURING PRESSURE AND VACUUM WITH LIGHT: A NEW PHOTONIC, QUANTUM-BASED, PRESSURE STANDARD

September 3, 2015
Author(s)
Jay H. Hendricks, Jacob E. Ricker, Jack A. Stone Jr., Patrick F. Egan, Gregory E. Scace, Gregory F. Strouse, Douglas A. Olson, Donavon Gerty
The future of pressure and vacuum measurement will rely on lasers and Fabry-Perot optical cavities, and will be based on fundamental physics of light interacting with a gas. Light interacts at the quantum level with matter such that light travels at a

Quantitative magnetometry of ferromagnetic nanorods by microfluidic analytical magnetophoresis

September 3, 2015
Author(s)
Andrew L. Balk, Lamar O. Mair, Feng Guo, Carlos M. Hangarter, Pramod Mathai, Robert D. McMichael, Samuel M. Stavis, John Unguris
We introduce an implementation of magnetophoresis to measure the absolute magnetization of ferromagnetic nanorods dispersed in fluids, by analyzing the velocity of single nanorods under an applied magnetic field gradient. A microfluidic guideway prevents

Measuring collected gas with microwave and acoustic resonances

April 23, 2015
Author(s)
Keith A. Gillis, James W. Schmidt, Michael R. Moldover, James B. Mehl
With calibrations of large flow meters in mind, we established the feasibility of determining the mass M of argon gas contained within a 0.3 m 3 commercially manufactured pressure vessel ("tank") with a relative standard uncertainty of u r(M) = 0.0016 at 0

The Art in Science of MicroTAS: the 2014 issue

April 14, 2015
Author(s)
Darwin R. Reyes-Hernandez
For the 7th year in a row the Art in Science award competition, sponsored by Lab on a Chip and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), took place at the 18th International Conference of Miniaturized Systems for Chemistry and Life
