We have succeeded in operating a transition-edge sensor (TES) spectrometer and evaluating its performance at the SPring-8 synchrotron x-ray light source. The TES spectrometer consists of a 240 pixel National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) TES

Remote sensing using open-path dual-comb spectroscopy

Open-path dual-comb spectroscopy (DCS) is an emerging technique for long open-path measurements across km-scale paths. It provides both broad spectral coverage over hundreds of wavenumbers with high spectral resolution and negligible instrument lineshape

Josephson Microwave Sources Applied to Quantum Information Systems

Adam J. Sirois, Manuel C. Castellanos Beltran, Anna E. Fox, Samuel P. Benz, Peter F. Hopkins
Quantum computers with thousands or millions of qubits will require a scalable solution for qubit control and readout electronics. Colocating these electronics at millikelvin temperatures has been proposed and demonstrated, but there exist significant

Comparison of primary laser spectroscopy and mass spectrometry methods for measuring mass concentration of gaseous elemental mercury

December 10, 2020

Abneesh Srivastava, Stephen E. Long, James E. Norris, Colleen E. Bryan Sallee, Jennifer Carney, Joseph Hodges
We present a direct comparison between two independent methods for the measurement of gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) mass concentration: isotope dilution cold-vapor inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ID-CV-ICP-MS) and laser absorption

Endothermic reaction at room temperature enabled by deep-ultraviolet plasmons

Sequestration and conversion of CO2 is a promising method for remedying climate change. However, current technologies remain limited due to infeasible system demands and outputs, such as high-temperature/pressure conditions, use of precious metals, or low

Improved plutonium and americium photon branching ratios from microcalorimeter gamma spectroscopy

October 11, 2020

M. D. Yoho, K. E. Koehler, Dan Becker, Douglas Bennett, M. H. Carpenter, M. P. Croce, J. D. Gard, John Mates, D. J. Mercer, Nathan Ortiz, Dan Schmidt, C. M. Smith, Daniel Swetz, A. D. Tollefson, Joel Ullom, Leila R. Vale, Abigail Wessels, D. T. Vo
Photon branching ratios are critical input data for activities such as nuclear materials protection and accounting because they allow material compositions to be extracted from measurements of gamma-ray intensities. Uncertainties in these branching ratios

Rheology of Crystallizing LLDPE

Polymer crystallization occurs in many plastic manufacturing processes, from injection molding to film blowing. Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) is one of the most commonly processed polymers, wherein the type and extent of short chain branching

Development of a transition-edge sensor bilayer process providing new modalities for critical temperature control

September 21, 2020
Author(s)
Joel Weber, Kelsey Morgan, Daikang Yan, Christine Pappas, Abigail Wessels, Galen O'Neil, Douglas Bennett, Gene C. Hilton, Daniel Swetz, Joel Ullom, Dan Schmidt
Transition-edge sensors (TESs) are thermal detectors in which a superconducting film that is electrically biased in the superconducting-to-normal transition is used as a thermometer. In most TESs, the film is a superconductor-normal metal bilayer where the
