Intumescent Polydopamine Coatings for Fire Protection

March 9, 2020
Author(s)
Douglas M. Fox, Whirang Cho, Laura J. Dubrulle, Phillip Grutzmacher, Mauro Zammarano, Douglas M. Fox
Polydopamine coatings containing additional bioderived flame retardants were used as coatings for polyurethane foam and cardboard. The ability to form intumescing coatings was crucial for achieving good flame protection. Dopamine can effectively

Observation of a C-type Short-Range Antiferromagnetic Order in Lyaer Spacing Expanded FeS

March 9, 2020
Author(s)
Meng Wang, Ming Yi, Benjamin A. Frandsen, Junjie Yin, Hualei Sun, Zhijun Xu, Huibo Cao, Edith Bourret-Courchesne, Jeffrey W. Lynn, Robert J. Birgeneau
We report neutron diffraction studies of FeS single crystals obtained from Rb xFe 2-yS 2 single crystals via a hydrothermal method. While no √5 x √5 iron vacancy order or block antiferromagnetic order typical of RRb xFe 2-yS 2 is found in our samples, we

Targeted enrichment of 28Si thin films for quantum computing

March 9, 2020
Author(s)
Ke Tang, Hyun S. Kim, Aruna N. Ramanayaka, David S. Simons, Joshua M. Pomeroy
We report on the growth of isotopically enriched 28Si epitaxial films with precisely controlled enrichment levels, ranging from natural abundance ratio of 92.2% all the way to 99.99987 % (0.832 × 10-6 mol/mol 29Si). Isotopically enriched 28Si is regarded

Workshop on Machine Learning for Optical Communication Systems: a summary

March 8, 2020
Author(s)
Joshua A. Gordon, Abdella Battou, Dan Kilper
A summary and overview of a public workshop on machine learning for optical Communication systems held on August 2nd 2019, by the Communications Technology Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, CO.

Polarization Dependence of Charge Conduction in Conjugated Polymer Films Investigated with Time- Resolved Terahertz Spectroscopy

March 6, 2020
Author(s)
Timothy J. Magnanelli, Sebastian Engmann, Jared K. Wahlstrand, John C. Stephenson, Lee J. Richter, Edwin J. Heilweil
We interrogate polarization anisotropy associated with charge conduction in films of the block co polymer PCDTPT, consisting of alternating cyclopenta dithiophene (donor) and thiadiazolo pyridine (acceptor) units with respect to sample morphology. Film

Energy-efficient stochastic computing with superparamagnetic tunnel junctions

March 5, 2020
Author(s)
Matthew W. Daniels, Advait Madhavan, Philippe Talatchian, Alice Mizrahi, Mark D. Stiles
Stochastic computing has been limited by the inaccuracies introduced by correlations between the pseudorandom bitstreams used in the calculation. We hybridize a stochastic version of magnetic tunnel junctions with basic CMOS logic gates to create a

Pipe Flow of Sphere Suspensions having a Power-Law-Dependent Fluid Matrix

March 5, 2020
Author(s)
Nicos Martys, William L. George, Ryan P Murphy, Kathleen M Weigandt
Measurement and prediction of suspension flow properties in cylindrical geometries represents a significant challenge for both the experimentalist and modeller. In this paper, results of a computational study of suspension flow in a pipe geometry using a

Visualizing Shed Skin Cells in Fingerprint Residue using Dark Field Microscopy

March 5, 2020
Author(s)
Shinichiro N. Muramoto, William Alexander Osborn, J Greg Gillen
The proof of concept study was able to show that dark field microscopy could be used to provide sufficient contrast for cell visualization in fingerprints with high sebum content. Although the application is limited to smooth surfaces that do not scatter

Dielectronic resonances of LMn and LNn (? 4) series in highly-charged M-shell tungsten ions

March 4, 2020
Author(s)
Dipti Goyal, A. Borovik, Jr., R. Silwal, Joan M. Dreiling, Amy C. Gall, Endre Takacs, Yuri Ralchenko
We present accurate spectroscopic measurements and detailed theoretical analysis of inner-shell LM$n$ and LN$n$ ($n$ $\geq$ 4) dielectronic resonances (DR) in highly-charged M-shell ions of tungsten. The x-ray emission from W$^49+}$ through W$^64+}$ was

Effects of Stretch and Radiation on the Laminar Burning Velocity of R-32-Air Flames

March 4, 2020
Author(s)
Michael Hegetschweiler, John Pagliaro, Lukas Berger, Raik Hesse, Joachim Beeckmann, Heinz Pitsch, Gregory T. Linteris
Experiments are performed for outwardly propagating spherical flames of R-32/air mixtures at constant pressure. A high-speed video camera captures shadowgraph images from which the flame radius as a function of time is extracted. Direct numerical

Optical evidence of the chiral magnetic anomaly in the Weyl semimetal TaAs

March 4, 2020
Author(s)
Antonio L. Levy, Andrei Sushkov, Fengguang Liu, Bing Shen, Ni Ni, Howard D. Drew, Gregory Jenkins
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

Strain-Induced Majority Carrier Inversion in Ferromagnetic Epitaxial LaCoO^d3-d Thin Films

March 4, 2020
Author(s)
Vipul Chaturvedi, Jeff Walter, Arpita Paul, Alexander Grutter, Brian Kirby, Jong Seok Jeong, Hua Zhou, Zhan Zhang, Biqiong Yu, Martin Greven, K. Andre Mkhoyan, Turan Birol, Chris Leighton
Tensile-strained LaCoO 3-δ thin films are ferromagnetic, in sharp contrast to the zero-spin bulk, although no clear consensus has emerged as to the origin of this phenomenon. While magnetism has been heavily studied, relatively little attention has been

Location-specific Microstructure Characterization Within IN625 Additive Manufacturing Benchmark Test Artifacts
