Toward a New Primary Standardization of Radionuclide Massic Activity Using Microcalorimetry and Quantitative Milligram-Scale Samples

February 24, 2022
Author(s)
Ryan P. Fitzgerald, Bradley Alpert, Dan Becker, Denis E. Bergeron, Richard Essex, Kelsey Morgan, Svetlana Nour, Galen O'Neil, Dan Schmidt, Gordon A. Shaw, Daniel Swetz, R. Michael Verkouteren, Daikang Yan
We present a new paradigm for the primary standardization of radionuclide activity per mass of solution (Bq/g). Two key enabling capabilities are 4π decay-energy spectrometry using chip-scale sub-Kelvin microcalorimeters and direct realization of mass by

Absorption Spectra of Martian Dust Simulants

James Radney, Christopher D. Zangmeister
Understanding the climate of Mars requires a detailed understanding of the optical properties of Martian dust as it is a ubiquitous component of the atmosphere. The need for a consensus motivates measurements of terrestrial simulants under controlled

Thermal-light heterodyne spectroscopy with frequency comb calibration

Scott Diddams, Connor Fredrick, Franklyn Quinlan, Ryan Terrien, Suvrath Mahadevan, Freja Olsen
Precision laser spectroscopy is key to many developments in atomic and molecular physics and the advancement of related technologies such as atomic clocks and sensors. However, in important spectroscopic scenarios, such as astronomy and remote sensing, the

1-GHz mid-infrared frequency comb spanning 3 to 13 mm

Nazanin Hoghooghi, Sida XIng, Peter Chang, Daniel Lesko, Alexander Lind, Greg Rieker, Scott Diddams
Mid-infrared (MIR) spectrometers are invaluable tools for molecular fingerprinting and imaging. Among the available spectroscopic approaches, MIR dual-comb absorption spectrometers have the potential to simultaneously combine the high-speed, high spectral

Noble-metal dark-edge fermiology: core-hole memory and the "Zeeman Auger" effect

January 12, 2022
Author(s)
Eric L. Shirley, Joseph Woicik, Conan Weiland, Ahmed Rumaiz, Charles Cardot, Joshua Kas, John Rehr
Gold and platinum have the face-centered-cubic crystal structure, are considered noble metals, and differ by one in atomic number. Near-edge M4,5 x-ray absorption and resonant M4,5N6,7N6,7 Auger spectroscopy reveal "dark" edges and a photon-energy

Quantification of urban biogenic carbon fluxes using bottom-up inventory and satellite-based model

Joy Winbourne, Hrstiana Stoynova, Ian Smith, Conor Gately, Barry Logan, Jaret Reblin, Andrew Reinmann, David W. Allen, Lucy Hutyra
Cities across the globe are taking the lead on climate mitigation action with ambitious goals to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The implementation of effective mitigation policies will require accurate measurements to guide policy decisions and

Spectroscopic analysis of M- and N-intrashell transitions in Co-like to Na-like Yb ions

December 19, 2021
Author(s)
Yuri Ralchenko, Dipti Goyal, Roshani Silwal, Endre Takacs, Joan Dreiling, Samuel Sanders, Amy Gall, Hemalatha Rudramadevi, John Gillaspy
The M-intrashell spectra from Co-like Yb$^43+}$ through Na-like Yb$^59+}$ ions produced in an electron beam ion trap (EBIT) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have been studied in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) range. A few N-intrashell

Elucidating the local atomic and electronic structure of amorphous oxidized superconducting niobium films

December 16, 2021
Author(s)
Thomas Harrelson, Evan Sheridan, Ellis Kennedy, John Vinson, Alpha N'Diaye, M. Altoe, Alex Weber-Bargioni, Adam Schwartzberg, Irfan Siddiqi, D. Ogletree, Mary Scott, Sinead Griffin
Qubits made from superconducting materials are a mature platform for quantum information science application such as quantum computing. However, materials-based losses are now a limiting factor in reaching the coherence times needed for applications. In
