Tiffany S. Williams, Nate Orloff, James S. Baker, Sandi G. Miller, Bharath N. Natarajan, Jan Obrzut, Linda S. McCorkle, Marisabel Lebron-Colon, James Gaier, Michael A. Meador, James Alexander Liddle
Carbon nanotube sheets are novel implementation of carbon nanotubes that enable the tailoring of electrical and mechanical properties for applications in the automotive and aerospace industries. Small molecule functionalization and/or post-processing

Mid-infrared molecular spectroscopy in the quantum noise limit

March 31, 2016
Author(s)
David A. Long, Adam J. Fleisher, Qingnan Liu, Joseph T. Hodges
A cavity ring-down spectrometer was used to reach the quantum noise limit in the mid-infrared spectral region. Quantum noise was observed not only in the individual ring-down decay events but also in the corresponding ensemble statistics with a magnitude

Behavior of molecules and molecular ions near a field emitter

Author(s)
Elizabeth A. Goldschmidt, Thomas L. Boulier, Roger C. Brown, Silvio B. Koller, Jeremy T. Young, Alexey V. Gorshkov, S L. Rolston, James V. Porto
We observe interaction-induced broadening of the two-photon 5s-18s transition in 87Rb atoms trapped in a 3D optical lattice. The measured linewidth increases by nearly two orders of magnitude with increasing atomic density and excitation strength, with

Identification and Quantification of Seven Fused Aromatic Rings C26H14 Peri-Condensed Benzenoid Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in a Complex Mixture of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons from Coal Tar

Lee J. Richter, Hyunbok Lee, Christopher McNeil, Eliot Gann, Lars Thomsen, S. Park, J. Jeong, Z. A. Page, Egle Puodziukynaite, Todd Emrick, Alejandro Briseno, John C. Stephenson, Dean M. DeLongchamp
Market demand for ubiquitous, increased functionality products at low cost (the internet of things) is spurring development in additive, solution processing of electronic devices. Performance in thin-film functional devices, be they transistors, diodes, or

A Description of the Clinical Proteomics Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) Common Data Analysis Pipeline

Ullom, Eberhard Widmann, Shinya Yamada, Johann Zmeskal, Daniel S. Swetz
A performance evaluation of superconducting transition-edge sensors (TESs) in the environment of a pion beam line at a particle accelerator is presented. Averaged across the 209 functioning sensors in the array, the achieved energy resolution is 5.2 eV

Spectrum and Energy Levels of Five-Times Ionized Zirconium (Zr VI)

January 5, 2016
Author(s)
Joseph Reader, Mark D. Lindsay
The spectrum of five-times-ionized zirconium Zr VI was observed from 160 Å to 2000 Å with sliding spark discharges on 10.7-m normal- and grazing-incidence spectrographs. The existing analysis of this spectrum [Khan Z. A. et al. 1985 Phys. Scr. 31 837] was

Beam-Scanning for Rapid Coherent Raman Hyperspectral Imaging

December 14, 2015
Author(s)
Seungwan Ryu, Charles Camp, Ying Jin, Marcus T. Cicerone, Young Jong Lee
Coherent Raman imaging requires high peak power laser pulses to maximize the nonlinear multiphoton signal generation, but accompanying photo-induced sample damage often poses a challenge to microscopic imaging studies. We demonstrate that a beam-scanning

Observation of Iron Spin-States using Tabletop X-ray Emission Spectroscopy and Microcalorimeter Sensors

Young Il Joe, Galen C. O'Neil, Luis Miaja Avila, Joseph W. Fowler, Kevin L. Silverman, Daniel S. Swetz, Joel N. Ullom, Ralph Jimenez
X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) is a powerful probe of the electronic and chemical state of elemental species embedded within more complex compounds. X-ray sensors that combine high resolving power and high collecting efficiency are desirable for photon

Abiotic bromination of soil organic matter

Bruce D. Ravel, Alessandra C. Leri
Biogeochemical transformations of plant-derived soil organic matter (SOM) involve complex abiotic and microbially mediated reactions. One such reaction is halogenation, which occurs naturally in the soil environment and has been associated with enzymatic
