Patrick Egan, Yuanchao Yang
Single-isotherm n(p, T90) results are reported for the gases Ar, N2, H2O, and D2O at vacuum wavelength λ = 1542.383(1) nm. The argon and nitrogen isotherms were measured near 303 K; the water isotherms were measured near 373 K. Combined with the two

Electronic K x rays emitted by muonic Ar atoms in the gas phase were observed using a superconducting transition-edge-sensor microcalorimeter. The high-precision energy spectra provided a clear signature of the presence of muonic atoms accompanied by a few

SINGLE-MODULATOR, DUAL COMB SERRODYNE SPECTROSCOPY

July 3, 2024
Author(s)
Jasper Stroud, David Long, David Plusquellic
Dual optical frequency comb spectroscopy allows for high speed, broadband measurements without any moving parts. Here, we combine differential chirp down conversion to probe large spectral bandwidths in the near-infrared (NIR) and serrodyne modulation to

Laser Offset Stabilization with Chip-Scale Atomic Diffractive Elements

Achieving precise and adjustable control over laser frequency is an essential requirement in numerous applications such as precision spectroscopy, quantum control, and sensing. In many of such applications it is desired to stabilize a laser with a variable

Observation of a promethium complex in solution

Ravel, Darren Driscoll, Frankie White, SUBHAMAY PRAMANIK, Jeffrey Einkauf, Dmytro Bykov, Santanu Roy, Richard Mayes, Laetitia Delmau, Samantha Schrell, Thomas Dyke, April Miller, Matt Silveira, Silveira2 van Cleve, Roy Copping, Sandra Davern, Santa Jansone-Popova, Ilja Popovs, Alexander Ivanov
Lanthanide rare earth metals are ubiquitous in modern technologies, but we know little about chemistry of the 61st element, promethium (Pm), a lanthanide which is highly radioactive and inaccessible. Despite its significance, Pm has conspicuously been

Understanding the Origin and Implication of the Indirect-to-Direct Bandgap Transition in Multilayer InSe

Semiconductor devices are noted for ever-decreasing dimensions but now are also becoming more complex. While scanning probe microscopy can still resolve the smallest features, it does not have the throughput for high-volume characterization of full wafers

Benford's law in atomic spectra and opacity databases

April 21, 2024
Author(s)
Yuri Ralchenko, Jean-Christophe Pain
The intriguing law of anomalous numbers, also named Benford's law, states that the significant digits of data follow a logarithmic distribution favoring the smallest values. In this work, we test the compliance with this law of the atomic databases

Evaluating Models That Predict Epoxy Conversion Using Rheological Properties

April 15, 2024
Author(s)
Stian Romberg, Paul Roberts, Chad R. Snyder, Anthony Kotula
Simultaneous rheology and conversion measurements of neat and composite epoxy resins reveal that conventional models neither accurately nor fully describe the relationship between rheology and conversion. We find that models predicting thermoset conversion
