Quantum field theory for the chiral clock transition in one spatial dimension

May 3, 2021
Author(s)
Seth P. Whitsitt, Rhine Samajdar, Subir Sachdev
We describe the quantum phase transition in the N-state chiral clock model in spatial dimension d=1. With couplings chosen to preserve time-reversal and spatial inversion symmetries, such a model, is in the universality class of recent experimental studies

Residential net-zero energy buildings: Review and perspective

May 1, 2021
Author(s)
Wei Wu, Harrison Skye
Advancements in residential net-zero energy buildings (NZEBs) could significantly reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. NZEB design considerations broadly categorize into energy infrastructure connections, renewable energy sources, and energy

NIST on a Chip: Photonic and Quantum-Based Sensors for Measurements of Pressure, Vacuum, Temperature and Beyond!

April 29, 2021
Author(s)
Jay H. Hendricks, Zeeshan Ahmed, Daniel Barker, Stephen Eckel, James A. Fedchak, Nikolai Klimov, Julia Scherschligt
At the core of the NIST on a Chip (NoAC) program is the idea that measurement technology can be developed to enable metrology to be done "outside the National Metrology Institute" by virtue of deployed and often miniaturized standards (that can also serve

Outgassing rate comparison of seven geometrically similar vacuum chambers of different materials and heat treatments

April 23, 2021
Author(s)
James A. Fedchak, Julia Scherschligt, Sefer Avdiaj, Daniel Barker, Stephen Eckel, Ben Bowers, Scott O'Connell, Perry Henderson
We have measured the water and hydrogen outgassing rates of seven vacuum chambers of identical geometry but constructed of different materials and heat treatments. Chambers of five different materials were tested: 304L, 316L, and 316LN stainless steels

Blackbody Radiation Noise Broadening of Quantum Systems

April 22, 2021
Author(s)
Eric B. Norrgard, Stephen Eckel, Christopher L. Holloway, Eric L. Shirley
Precision measurements of quantum systems often seek to probe or must account for the interaction with blackbody radiation. Over the past several decades, much attention has been given to AC Stark shifts and stimulated state transfer. For a blackbody in

Quantum Blackbody Thermometry

April 22, 2021
Author(s)
Eric B. Norrgard, Stephen Eckel, Christopher L. Holloway, Eric L. Shirley
Blackbody radiation (BBR) sources are calculable radiation sources that are frequently used in radiometry, temperature dissemination, and remote sensing. Despite their ubiquity, blackbody sources, have a plethora of systematics (e.g., emissivity

Reference Correlation for the Viscosity of Xenon from the Triple Point to 750 K and up to 86 MPa

March 25, 2021
Author(s)
Dania Velliadou, K.A. Tasidou, K.D. Antoniadis, Marc J. Assael, Richard A. Perkins, Marcia L. Huber
This paper presents a new wide-ranging correlation for the viscosity of xenon based on the most recent theoretical calculations and critically evaluated experimental data. The correlation is designed to be used with an existing equation of state, and it is

Path-integral calculation of the fourth virial coefficient of helium isotopes

March 8, 2021
Author(s)
Giovanni Garberoglio, Allan H. Harvey
We use the path-integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) method and state-of-the-art two-body and three-body potentials to calculate the fourth virial coefficient D(T) of 4He and 3He as a function of temperature from 2.6 K to 2000 K. We derive expressions for the
