FIPS 140-3 Adopts ISO/IEC Standards

May 20, 2019
Author(s)
Kim B. Schaffer
This bulletin summarizes the information found in FIPS 140-3: Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules which is applicable to all federal agencies that use cryptographic-based security systems to provide adequate information security for all agency

Quantum Frequency Conversion of a Quantum Dot Single-Photon Source on a Nanophotonic Chip

May 20, 2019
Author(s)
Anshuman Singh, Qing Li, Shunfa Liu, Ying Yu, Xiyuan Lu, Christian Schneider, Sven Hofling, John Lawall, Varun Verma, Richard Mirin, Sae Woo Nam, Jin Liu, Kartik Srinivasan
Single self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots are promising bright sources of indistinguishable photons for quantum information science. However, their distribution in emission wavelength, due to inhomogeneous broadening inherent to their growth, has

Uncertainty in global downwelling plane irradiance estimates from sintered polytetra fluoroethylene plaque radiance measurements

May 20, 2019
Author(s)
Alexandre Castagna, B. Carol Johnson, Kenneth Voss, Heidi M. Dierssen, Heather Patrick, Thomas Germer, Zhehai Shang
Global downwelling plane irradiance is a necessary variable to normalize the water-leaving radiance measurements, reducing the magnitude and spectral variabilities introduced by the incident light field. As a result, the normalized measurements, known as

Mechanisms of spontaneous chain formation and subsequent microstructural evolution in shear- driven strongly confined drop monolayers

May 18, 2019
Author(s)
Sagnik Singha, Abhilash R. Malipeddi, Mauricio Zurita-Gotor, Kausik Sarkar, Kevin Shen, Michael Loewenberg, Kalman D. Migler, Jerzy Blawzdziewicz
It was experimentally demonstrated by Migler and his collaborators [Phys. Rev. Lett. 2001, 86, 1023; Langmuir 2003, 19, 8667] that a strongly confined drop monolayer sheared between two parallel plates can spontaneously develop a flow-oriented drop-chain

A Review of Organotin Contamination in Arctic and Subarctic Regions

May 17, 2019
Author(s)
John Kucklick, MIchael Ellisor
Organotin (OT) compounds are of continued arctic concern as they still widely used despite the most well-studied OT, tributyl tin (TBT), being restricted for use on marine vessels to prevent fouling by marine organisms. The highest OT concentrations found

Measuring Ion-Pairing and Hydration in Variable Charge Supramolecular Cages with Microwave Microfluidics

May 17, 2019
Author(s)
Angela C. Stelson, Cynthia M. Hong, Mitchell C. Groenenboom, Charles A. Little, James C. Booth, Nathan D. Orloff, Robert G. Bergman, Kenneth N. Raymond, Kathleen A. Schwarz, F. D. Toste, Christian J. Long
MetaMetal–organic supramolecular cages can act as charged molecular containers that mediate reactions, mimic enzymatic catalysis, and selectively sequester chemicals.1,2 The hydration of these cages in solution plays a crucial role in their interactions

Spatial strain correlations, machine learning, and deformation history in crystal plasticity

May 16, 2019
Author(s)
Andrew C. Reid, Stefanos Papanikolaou, Hengxu Song, Erik Van der Giessen, Stephen A. Langer, Michail Tzimas
Digital image correlation (DIC) is a well-established, non-invasive technique for tracking and quantifying the deformation of mechanical samples under test. While it provides an obvious way to observe incremental and aggregate displacement information, it

Spin-orbit coupled bosons in one dimension: Emergent gauge field and Lifshitz transition

May 16, 2019
Author(s)
Ian B. Spielman, William Cole, Junhyun Lee, Khan Mahmud, Yahya Alavirad, Jay Sau
We propose the two component spin-orbit coupled Bose liquid as a platform for studying quantum criticality in itinerant magnets. Apart from being pervasive in the solid state, quantum critical fluctuations in such itinerant systems often involve the

Stable Postfullerene Solar Cells via Direct C-H Arylation Polymerization. Morphology-Performance Relationships

May 16, 2019
Author(s)
Subhrangsu Mukherjee, Thomas Aldrich, Weigang Zhu, Lee J. Richter, Eliot Gann, Dean DeLongchamp, Antonio Facchetti, Ferdinand Melkonyan, Tobin Marks
The scope of the environmentally benign direct C-H arylation polymerization (DARP) process is validated and significantly extended in the synthesis of a high-performance benzodithiophene- based copolymer series, PBDT(Ar)-FTTE, with previously untested and

Structured Illumination Mueller Matrix Imaging

May 16, 2019
Author(s)
Joseph P. Angelo, Thomas Germer, Maritoni Litorja
We perform Mueller matrix imaging (MMI) of diffusely scattering phantoms under sinusoidal irradiance of varying spatial frequency. Quantitative polarimetric sensing via MMI completely characterizes a sample's polarimetric properties, while structured

Electromagnetically induced transparency in inhomogeneously broadened solid media

May 15, 2019
Author(s)
Kumel H. Kagalwala, Fan Haoquan, Sergey Polyakov, Alan L. Migdall, Elizabeth A. Goldschmidt
We study, theoretically and experimentally, electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in two di erent solid-state systems. Unlike many implementations in homogeneously broadened media, these systems exhibit inhomogeneous broadening of their optical

Incommensurate Magnetism near Quantum Criticality in CeNiAsO

May 15, 2019
Author(s)
Shan Wu, W. A. Phelan, L. Liu, J. R. Morey, J. A. Tutmaher, J. C. Neuefeind, Ashfia Huq, Matthew B. Stone, M. Feygenson, David W. Tam, Benjamin A. Frandsen, Benjamin Trump, Cheng Wan, S. R. Dunsiger, Tyrel M. McQueen, Y. J. Uemura, Collin L. Broholm

On the Importance of Firebrand Processes in Large Outdoor Fires

May 15, 2019
Author(s)
Samuel L. Manzello
Firebrands are produced from combustion of both vegetative and structural fuels in large outdoor fires. It is well known that firebrand generation, transport, and ignition mechanisms result in rapid and potentially devastating fire spread processes in

Post-Quantum Cryptography and 5G Security: Tutorial

May 15, 2019
Author(s)
T. Charles Clancy, Robert W. McGwier, Lidong Chen
The Fifth Generation (5G) mobile broadband standards make a fundamental shift in cryptography. Prior generations based their security and privacy principally on symmetric key cryptography. The Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) and its successors contain a
