Study of the neutron spin-orbit interaction in silicon

September 30, 2019
Author(s)
Thomas R. Gentile, Michael G. Huber, Muhammad D. Arif, Daniel S. Hussey, David L. Jacobson, Donald D. Koetke, Murray Peshkin, Thomas Dombeck, Paul Nord, Dimitry A. Pushin, Robert Smither
The neutron spin-orbit interaction, which results from the interaction of a moving neutron's magnetic dipole moment (MDM) with the atomic electric elds, induces a small rotation of the neutron's spin in one Bragg re ection. In our experiment neutrons

Systematic uncertainty due to background-gas collisions in trapped-ion optical clocks

September 30, 2019
Author(s)
Aaron M. Hankin, Ethan Clements, Huang Yao, Samuel M. Brewer, Jwo-Sy Chen, Chin-wen Chou, David Hume, David Leibrandt
We describe a framework for calculating the frequency shift and uncertainty of trapped-ion optical atomic clocks caused by background-gas collisions, and apply this framework to an 27Al+ quantum-logic clock to enable a total fractional systematic

Agreement Behavior of Isolated Annotators for Maintenance Work-Order Data Mining

September 27, 2019
Author(s)
Emily Hastings, Thurston Sexton, Michael Brundage, Melinda Hodkiewicz
Maintenance work orders (MWOs) are an integral part of the maintenance workflow. These documents allow technicians to capture vital aspects of a maintenance job: observed symptoms, potential causes, solutions implemented, etc. These MWOs have often been

Discriminative potential of ion mobility spectrometry for the detection of fentanyl and fentanyl analogues relative to confounding environmental interferents

September 27, 2019
Author(s)
Thomas Forbes, Jeffrey Lawrence, Jennifer R. Verkouteren, R. Michael Verkouteren
The opioid crisis and emergence of fentanyl, fentanyl analogues, and other synthetic opioids has highlighted the need for sensitive and robust detection for interdiction at screening points, notably vehicles at border crossings and packages at postal

Kerr Microresonator Soliton Frequency Combs at Cryogenic Temperatures

September 27, 2019
Author(s)
Gregory Moille, Xiyuan Lu, Ashutosh Rao, Qing Li, Daron Westly, Leonardo Ranzani, Scott Papp, Mohammad Soltani, Kartik Srinivasan
We present measurements of silicon nitride nonlinear microresonators and frequency comb generation at cryogenic temperatures as low as 7 K. A resulting two orders of magnitude reduction in the thermo-refractive coefficient relative to room-temperature

Pumpless Microfluidic Devices for Generating Healthy and Diseased Endothelia

September 27, 2019
Author(s)
Yang Yang, Parinaz Fathi, Glenn Holland, Dipanjan Pan, Nam Wang, Mandy Esch
We have developed a pumpless cell culture platform that can recirculate small amounts of cell culture medium (400 µL) in a unidirectional or bidirectional flow pattern. The device produces an average wall shear stress of up to 0.587 Pa ± 0.006 Pa without

QUANTUM-LIMITED 2D SENSORS FOR PH AND BIOSENSING

September 27, 2019
Author(s)
Arvind K. Balijepalli, Son T. Le, Harish C. Pant, Curt A. Richter
We have developed biosensors based on dual-gated field-effect transistors (FETs) that operate at the quantum capacitance limit. The FETs are fabricated with atomically thin MoS2 semiconducting films and top-gated with a room temperature ionic-liquid. The

Tensile Testing of Aged Flexible Unidirectional Composite Laminates for Body Armor

September 27, 2019
Author(s)
Amy E. Engelbrecht-Wiggans, Faraz A. Burni, Amanda L. Forster
Flexible Unidirectional (UD) composite laminates are commonly being used for ballistic- resistant body armor. These laminates are comprised of UD layers, each constructed by laminating thin layers of high-performance fibers held in place using binder

Screening of Chemical Libraries Using a Yeast Model of Retinal Disease

September 26, 2019
Author(s)
Benjamin M. Scott
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a degenerative retinal disease, often caused by mutations in the G protein-coupled receptor rhodopsin. The majority of pathogenic rhodopsin mutations cause rhodopsin to misfold, including P23H, disrupting its crucial ability to

The Interfacial Zone in Thin Polymer Films and Around Nanoparticles in Polymer Nanocomposites

September 26, 2019
Author(s)
Jack F. Douglas, Wengang Zhang, Hamed Emamy, Fernando Vargas-Lara, Beatriz Betancourt, Francis W. Starr
We perform coarse-grained simulations of model unentangled polymer materials to quantify the range over which interfaces alter the structure and dynamics in the vicinity of the interface. We study both model polymer-nanoparticle (NP) composites with

A demonstration of Low Power Wide Area Networking for city-scale monitoring applications

September 25, 2019
Author(s)
Sebastian Barillaro, Dhananjay Anand, Avi Gopstein, Julian Barillaro
Networks of sensors are key components of an Internet of Things. This paper outlines a demonstration of a wireless technology called LoRa/LoRaWAN that may be used to network sensors over a range of several kilometers. LoRa is an example of a Low Power Wide

Characterization of Zinc Carboxylates in an Oil Paint Test Panel

September 25, 2019
Author(s)
Christine Romano, Thomas Lam, G. Asher Newsome, Joshua A. Taillon, Nicole Little, Jia-sun Tsang
Zinc (carboxylate) soaps, formed by reactions between zinc oxide (ZnO) and fatty acids in a drying oil, are known to cause deterioration in the paint layers of modern and contemporary oil paintings. This study investigates zinc carboxylates that developed

Effects of Al-Si Coating and Zn Coating on the Hydrogen Uptake and Embrittlement of Ultra-High Strength Press-Hardened Steel

Kyoung Rae Jo, Lawrence Cho, Dimas H. Sulistiyo, Eun Jung Seo, Seong Woo Kim, Bruno C. De Cooman
Press-hardened steel (PHS), used for automotive safety-related structure parts, is sensitive to hydrogen embrittlement due to its martensitic microstructure. Hydrogen is introduced in PHS during the hot press forming (HPF) process, by an atmospheric
