Spectrum and Energy Levels of Four-Times Ionized Yttrium (Y V

December 21, 2016
Author(s)
Joseph Reader
We present an extended analysis of the spectrum of four-times-ionized yttrium Y V. The analysis is based on spectrograms made with sliding-spark discharges on 10.7 normal- and grazing-incidence spectrographs. The measurements cover the region 184-2549 Å

An ultra-low noise, high-voltage piezo driver

Neal C. Pisenti, Alessandro Restelli, Ben J. Reschovsky, Daniel Barker, Gretchen K. Campbell
We present an ultra-low noise, high-voltage driver suited for use with piezoelectric actuators and other low- current applications. The architecture uses a flyback switching regulator to generate up to 250V in our current design, with an output of 1 kV or

When "Optimal Filtering" Isn't

The so-called ''optimal filter'' analysis of a microcalorimeter's x-ray pulses is statistically optimal only if all pulses have the same shape, regardless of energy. The shapes of pulses from a nonlinear detector can and do depend on the pulse energy

Quantum Electromechanics on Silicon Nitride Nanomembranes

Johannes Fink, Mahmoud Kalaee, Alessandro Pitanti, Richard Norte, Lukas Heinzle, Marcelo I. Davanco, Kartik Srinivasan, Oskar Painter
We present a platform based upon silicon nitride nanomembranes for integrating superconducting microwave circuits with planar acoustic and optical devices such as phononic and photonic crystals. Utilizing tensile stress and lithographic patterning of a

Measurement-induced decoherence and information in double-slit interference

July 20, 2016

Joshua Kincaid, Kyle McLelland, Michael P. Zwolak
The double slit experiment provides the classic example of both interference and the effect of observation in quantum physics. When particles are sent individually through a pair of slits, a wave-like interference pattern develops; no such interference is

Coherent and incoherent coupling dynamics between neutral and charged excitons in Monolayer MoSe2

July 18, 2016
Author(s)
Kai Hao, Lixiang Xu, Philip Nagler, Akshay Singh, Kha Tran, Chandriker K. Dass, Rupert Huber, Tobias Korn, Xiaoqin Li, Galan Moody
The optical properties of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides are dominated by both neutral excitons (electron-hole pairs) and charged excitons (trions) that are stable even at room temperature. While trions directly influence charge transport

Contact resistance and phase slips in mesoscopic superfluid atom transport

June 15, 2016
Author(s)
Stephen Eckel, Jeffrey Lee, Fred Jendrejewski, Christopher Lobb, Gretchen K. Campbell, Wendell Hill
We have experimentally measured both resistive flow and superflow with bosonic atoms in a mesoscopic transport experiment. Our system, consisting of two Bose-Einstein condensates coupled by a narrow channel, shows resistive flow for currents above a
