Author(s)
Sonia M. Buckley, Alexander N. Tait, Galan Moody, Kevin L. Silverman, Sae Woo Nam, Richard P. Mirin, Jeffrey M. Shainline, Stephen Olson, Joshua Hermann, Satyvalu Papa Rao
W centers are trigonal defects generated by self-ion implantation in silicon that exhibit photoluminescence at 1.218\textmu m. We have shown previously that they can be used in waveguide-integrated all-silicon light-emitting diode sources. Here we optimize

Entropy Scaling of Viscosity – I: A Case Study of Propane

May 12, 2020
Author(s)
Ian H. Bell
In this work a broadly-applicable and simple approach for developing high accuracy viscosity correlations yielding uncertainties approximately equal to the uncertainties of the underlying data is presented. The approach is based on the combination of a

Influence of Machine Anvil Wear on Charpy Test Results

May 12, 2020
Author(s)
Enrico Lucon, Raymond L. Santoyo
We investigated the influence of the state of wear of Charpy machine anvils on test results by performing impact tests on NIST specimens of three energy levels with a machine equipped with new anvils (compliant with both ASTM E23 [1] and ISO 148-2 [2]) and

Open-system tensor networks and Kramers' crossover for quantum transport

May 12, 2020
Author(s)
Gabriela Wojtowicz, Justin E. Elenewski, Marek Rams, Michael P. Zwolak
Tensor networks are a powerful tool for many-body ground-states with limited entanglement. These methods can nonetheless fail for certain time-dependent processes - such as quantum trans- port or quenches - where entanglement growth is linear in time

Assessing the Robustness of Powder Rheology and Permeability Measurements

May 11, 2020
Author(s)
Louis-Philippe Lefebvre, Justin Whiting, Boris Nijikovski, Sallah Eddine Brika, Haniyeh Fayazfar, Ola Lyckfeldt
Powder metallurgy processes rely on powder flowability. However, flowability is not an intrinsic property and depends on the measurement conditions. Standards have been developed to adjust measurement methods to various flow conditions but there is

Atomic-scale control of tunneling in donor-based devices

Author(s)
Xiqiao Wang, Jonathan E. Wyrick, Ranjit V. Kashid, Pradeep N. Namboodiri, Scott W. Schmucker, Andrew Murphy, Michael D. Stewart, Richard M. Silver
Atomically precise donor-based quantum devices are a promising candidate for scalable solid- state quantum computing. Atomically precise design and implementation of the tunnel coupling in these devices is essential to realize gate-tunable exchange

Kelley, David Sinton, Edward H. Sargent
The carbon dioxide electroreduction reaction (CO2RR) provides avenues to the production renewable ethanol, a high-energy-density fuel. Unfortunately, until now, the ethanol Faradaic efficiency (FE) has lain below 27% in CO2RR studies reported at total
