To achieve the future goals for logic device dielectric film thickness and composition metrology, a set of well-characterized calibration reference material standards are needed for validating real-time diagnostic techniques used during production. However
This, the second in a series of articles present a new framework for considering the computation of uncertainty in electron excited X-ray microanalysis measurements, will discuss matrix correction. The framework presented in the first article will be
The NBS involvement in the development of single atom electron spectroscopy at surfaces, as realized in field emission resonance tunneling and reported in the seminal paper by E.W. Plummer, J.W. Gadzuk and R.D. Young is described.
We present results in the final part of a three-part of a three-part study employing standard test data (STD) to estimate errors in peak parameters derived from data analysis procedures used in x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). XPS-STD are simulated

In situ and ex situ VR-SFG studies of mercaptopropylsulfonate (MPSA) molecules adsorbed on metal/electrolyte interfaces prove the molecular conformation is sensitive to hydration. MPSA catalyses electrodeposition of copper interconnection for semiconductor
A short description is given of data resources that are available from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). NIST currently has three databases available: an XPS Database (SRD 20), an Elastic
The paper first overviews the CIE system of colorimetry, covering CIE 1931 color matching functions, XYZ tristimulus values, the x, y diagram, the 1976 u', v' diagram, and the evolvement of CIELUV and CIELAB color spaces and color difference formulae. The

Near-field Raman spectroscopy can be used to obtain images with both chemical specificity and the subwavelength spatial resolution of near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM). In the absence of signal intensification factors, such as surface

Cosmic plasma conditions created in an Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT) make it possible to simulate the dependencies of Key diagnostic x-ray lines on density, temperature, and excitation conditions that exist in astrophysical sources. We used a

The novel nonlinear optical method second harmonic generation-circular dichroism (SHG-CD) has been used to follow the adsorption and redox properties of a peripheral membrane protein horse heart cytochrome c, adsorbed at several model membrane surfaces

An improved x-ray microscope with a fully electronic CCD detector system has been constructed that allows improved laboratory-based microstructural investigations of materials with hard x-rays. It uses the Kirkpatrick-Baez multilayer mirror design to form
Standard test data for x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS-STD) have been developed for determining bias and random error in peak parameters derived from curve fitting in XPS. The XPS-STD are simulated C 1s spectra from spline polynomial models of
The Fano-Anderson model for a discrete state embedded within a continuum is revisited within the context of excitation and decay processes which lead to some manifestations of Fano lineshape profiles. The phenomenon of resonance tunneling between an STM
We have performed an evaluation of calculated and measured electron inelastic mean free paths (IMFPs) for selected materials and for electron energies between 50 eV and 10,000 eV. This evaluation is based on IMFPs calculated from experimental optical data
This Paper describes the NIST development of standards and procedures for the calibration of the Raman Spectral Intensity. The work is based on the NIST proposal of the use of luminescent glass standards for the transfer of the white light calibration to

Decanethiol was coadsorbed with tetradecylmethyl viologen (C 14MV; 1-Methyl-1 -tetradecyl-4,4 -bipyridinium chloride) on gold electrodes in order to improve stability of C 14MV as an electrochemical mediator for coupling to nitrate reductase enzymes

The backbone dynamics of uniformly 15N-labeled reduced and oxidized putidaredoxin (Pdx) have been studied by 2D 15N NMR relaxation measurements. 15N T 1 and T 2 values and 1H- 15N NOE s have been measured for the diamagnetic region of the protein. These

We have observed dynamical diffraction in the [024024] and[046046] reflections of the icosahedral quasicrystal A1PdMn in the back-reflection geometry (θ B = 90 ). The x-ray fluorescence from the Al and Pd atoms exhibits strong standing wave behavior
The theory and implementation of quantitative gas phase absorption measurements based on cavity-ringdown spectroscopy with pulsed lasers is discussed. The response of ringdown cavities is modeled using an eigenmode description of the electromagnetic field
Lee J. Richter, T Petralli-Mallow, John C. Stephenson
We present a novel procedure for vibrationally-resolved sum-frequency generation (SFG) in which a broad-bandwidth IR pulse is mixed with a narrow-bandwidth visible pulse. The resultant SFG spectrum is dispersed with a spectrograph and detected in parallel
