Non-thermal electron distributions, such as beams of electrons, are found in many laboratory and astrophysical plasma sources and can produce anisotropic and polarized emission. Theories used to model the emission require sublevel specific analysis, which

We demonstrate the application of mode-locked mid-infrared dual frequency comb spectroscopy for combustion analysis. With two settings of the same dual-comb system, the measurement spans 1500 cm-1 (2.8 to 5 microns) with 0.0067 cm-1 (200 MHz) point spacing
This study describes the use of inkjet printing for the preparation of test materials containing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on a biologically relevant matrix, and discusses the methods of using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) for
This is the first in a series of articles which present a new framework for computing the uncertainty in electron excited X-ray microanalysis measurements. This article will discuss the framework and apply it to a handful of simple but useful sub

The anisotropy of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) crystals gives rise to hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HPhPs), notable for their volumetric frequency-dependent angular propagation and strong confinement. For frustum (truncated nanocone) structures, theory

Existing sensors for gaseous species often degrade their performance because of the loss of the measurement accuracy in the presence of interferences. Thus, new sensing approaches are required with improved sensor selectivity. We are developing a new

This paper reports construction of an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation-triggered atom probe tomograph and describes the results from initial experiments on amorphous SiO2. Femtosecond-pulsed coherent EUV radiation of 29.6 nm wavelength (41.85 eV photon
The rheology of crystallizing polymers is critical to polymer processing, but our current understanding of how crystallinity affects rheology during crystallization is lacking. The challenge is twofold: first, we must measure rheology simultaneously with

Chiral pumping from optical electric fields oscillating at THz frequencies is observed in the Weyl material TaAs with electric and magnetic fields aligned along both the a- and c-axes. Free carrier spectral weight enhancement is measured directly for the
Multidimensional coherent spectroscopy measures the third-order polarization response of a system to reveal microscopic electronic and many-body phenomena. Applied to semiconductor nanostructures, it can distinguish homogeneous and inhomogeneous broadening
