Atmospheric chemical doping can be used to modify the electronic properties of graphene. Although extensive experimental work on tuning atmospheric chemical doping of graphene has been reported, such a study of graphene on SiC is still lacking. Here we

We compared three software tools designed for scattering-parameter measurement uncertainty evaluation. These tools propagate uncertainty to calibrated S-parameters by means of a sensitivity analysis. We also validated the sensitivity analysis with Monte

Resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS) was used in this study to measure shifts in resonant frequency that arise from the presence of cracks in barium-titanate-based multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs). This work was motivated by an industrial need for
AbstractIn this paper a new approach which is based on a collaborative system of MicroGrids (MGs), is proposed to enable household appliance scheduling. To achieve this, appliances are categorized into flexible and non-flexible Deferrable Loads (DLs)

The 60 GHz band is being considered for many high bandwidth wireless applications. To support standards development for these applications, NIST has developed an untethered 60 GHz, 8×16 MIMO channel sounder. It employs a pseudorandom bit sequence with a

In this paper, we present a detailed life time dosimetry analysis for individually housed rodents exposed to radio frequency (RF) signals. The unrestrained rodents were exposed in reverberation chambers for 2 years at three whole-body averaged specific
PSCR hosted over 80 stakeholders from industry, academia, public safety, and government to the NIST Boulder campus in August 2016. The August summit was a follow-up to the Public Safety Analytics R&D Roadmap, published earlier in 2016. This document
For IoT to be broadly adopted, it is important to apply the concept to many applications at scale in our everyday life. Using these advanced technologies, our communities and cities can be more intelligent, secure, and resilient. The Hardware and

Organic field effect transistor (OFET) performance is dictated by the composition and geometry of the device, as well as the quality of the organic semiconductor (OSC) film, which strongly depends on the purity and structural defects. When present, these
Abstract Phasor measurement units (PMUs) provide real-time synchrophasor data and good situational awareness of power grid, and could be used to take corrective actions to maintain grid reliability. Thousands of PMUs deployed in the North American power
Long-Term Evolution (LTE) supporting Device-to-Device (D2D) communication is a feature introduced in 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) release 12. D2D communication is critical in public safety applications, which enables communication among first

A novel method is proposed for the calibration of channel mismatch in a time-interleaved real- time digital oscilloscope (RTDO). A simple simultaneous equation is derived from the Fourier transform of the time-interleaved signals requiring only a transfer

We verify a model for state-of-the-art 250 nm heterojunction bipolar transistors with large-signal measurements. We demonstrate the propagation of correlated measurement uncertainties through the model-extraction and verification process, and use them to
A modified measurement technique and nonlinear least-squares solution method is introduced for determining complex permittivity and permeability in transmission lines. In addition to a 2-port S-parameter measurement, a 1-port measurement of the shorted

Carbon nanotube composites are lightweight, multifunctional materials with readily adjustable mechanical and electrical propertiesrelevant to the aerospace, automotive, and sporting goods industries as high-performance building materials. Here, we combine
We report on magneto-transport measurements on low-density, large-area monolayer epitaxial graphene devices grown on SiC. We observe temperature (T)-independent crossing points in the longitudinal resistivity (rho)sub(xx), which are signatures of the

A Materials Project based open-source python tool, MPInterfaces, has been developed to automate the high throughput computational screening and study of interfacial systems. The framework encompasses creation and manipulation of interface structures for
We developed models for Type N coaxial vector network analyzer (VNA) calibration kits within the NIST Microwave Uncertainty Framework. First, we created physical models of commercially- available standards that support multiline thru-reflect-line (TRL) and
