The kinetics of the decomposition of 4-methyl-1-pentyl radicals have been studied from 927 1068 K at pressures of 1.78 2.44 bar using a single pulse shock tube with product analysis. The reactant radicals were formed from the thermal C I bond fission of 1

Interfacial reactions between the Ba2YCu3O6+x superconductor and the CeO2 buffer layer employed in coated conductors have been modeled experimentally by investigating the kinetics of the reaction between Ba2YCu3O6+x and CeO2. At 810 C and pO2 = 100 Pa, the

New inorganic type II clathrates with Ag atoms substituting for framework Ge atoms, Cs8Na16AgxGe136-x (x = 0, 5.9, and 6.7), have been synthesized by reaction of the pure elements at high temperature. Structural refinements have been performed using single

We have developed a high throughput screening tool that maps out thermoelectric power factors of combinatorial composition-spread film libraries. The screening tool allows us to measure the electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient of over 1000

Combined 6Li MAS NMR, in-situ metal K-edge (hard) XAS, and O K-edge (soft) XAS have been carried out during the first charging process for the layered Li1-xCo1/3Ni1/3Mn1/3O2 cathode material. The 6Li MAS NMR results showed the prescence of Li in the Ni2+
A new uncertainty analysis is being performed for NIST's pulse parameter measurement service that represents the new pulse parameter measurement and extraction process. This new analysis is also expected to have lower uncertainties compared to those
Low frequency replication (600 kHz to 18 MHz) of a high frequency waveform (1 GHz to 30 GHz) was achieved using a photoconductive-based optical-microwave (OM) sampler. This OM sampler performs better than a 20 GHz digitizing sampling oscilloscope and is
As electronic signals move to higher frequencies and wider bandwidths, there is need for new methods of measuring these bandwidths, there is need for new methods of measuring these high frequency/high speed (tens of Hgz and or high bit rate (tens of GBs

An improved gated-oscillator time-base and associated auto-calibration algorithm for use in a high-accuracy sampling waveform acquistion system are described. The time-base architecture consists of a stable 100 MHz gated-oscillator, 24-bit counter chain
A new deconvolution approach is described for reconstructing fast step-like or impulsive signals that have been measured with a sampling oscilloscope for which an impulse response estimate is available. The approach uses analytic reconstruction filters to

Timebase distortion causes nonlinear distortion of waveforms measured by sampling instruments. When such instruments are used to measure the rms amplitude of the sampled waveforms, such distortions result in errors in the measured rms values. This paper
An inexpensive, wide bandwidth, high cycle 50 ω probe is described for making electrical contact to printed wiring board planar transmission lines. The electrical transfer function of the probe and its contact repeatability are presented.

A pulse measurement intercomparison, organized by (NIST) and conducted by the authors in their respective labs, is described. The purpose was to assess the state of the art for time-domain pulse-waveform measurements in the nanosecond regime, and to find
A new method is presented to determine the time-base errors of sampling instruments. The method does not require a model for the time-base error and, thus, provides accurate estimates where model-based methods fail. Measurements of sinewaves at multiple

A system is described for calibrating high-bandwidth oscilloscopes using pulse signals. The fast pulse oscilloscope calibration system (FPOCS) is to be used to determine the step response parameters for digitizing oscilloscopes having bandwidths of 20 GHz
