We generate hyperentangled (time-bin and polarization) photon-pairs using a microstructure-fiber Sagnac interferometer. Two-photon interference visibilities in both degrees of freedom are >83%, and the Bell s inequality is violated by 25 ? at 1-kHz

We show that thermal ink jet printheads can be used to place GaN nanowires on patterned substrates. The semiconductor nanowires have diameters ranging from 70 to 300 nm and lengths from 5 υm to 20 υm. They were dispersed in alcohol-water solutions for

Nucleation of GaN nanowires without catalysts in molecular beam epitaxy is shown to be a distinct process from nanowire propagation. Nanowire growth is relatively insensitive to starting conditions once the nanowire morphology is established, and is driven

Photoconductivity (PC) and persistent photoconductivity (PPC) were measured on c-axis GaN nanowires (NWs) grown by catalyst-free nitrogen plasma assisted MBE on Si(111) substrates. Unintentionally doped n-type NWs from two separate growth batches were
The success of many quantum-information applications demands entangled photon pairs emitted at a high rate, and in a single spatial mode with narrow spectral bandwidth to allow high two-photon interference visibility in creation and propagation. Here we

We report steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL & TRPL) measurements on individual GaN nanowires that were grown by nitrogen-plasma-assisted, molecular beam epitaxy on Si(111) and subsequently dispersed onto fused quartz substrates for
NIST hosted the sixth Annual Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Research Workshop on April 17-19, 2007. The two and a half day event brought together PKI experts from academia, industry, and government had a particular interest in novel approaches to

A comparison of the area measurements of the limiting apertures used for total solar irradiance measurements in the Active Cavity Radiometer Irradiance Monitor II (ACRIM II) and Active Cavity Radiometer Irradiance Monitor III (ACRIM III) were conducted

The frequency shift due to atomic collisions is a major, and in some cases the dominant, limitation to the accuracy of caesium fountain primary frequency standards. A correction for this shift is usually obtained by measuring the frequency of the standard

The National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) in its 2006 document, Environmental, Health, and Safety Research Needs for Engineered Nanoscale Materials (available at www.nano.gov), identifies standards and standard measurement protocols as a critical

The NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), scheduled for launch in 2008, incorporates a suite of instruments including the EUV Variability Experiment (EVE). The EVE instrument package contains grating spectrographs used to measure the solar extreme

The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) Extreme ultraviolet Solar Photometer (ESP), as a part of the Extreme ultraviolet Variability Experiment (EVE) suite of instruments, was calibrated at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on the

The shear influenced gelation of three aqueous suspensions consisting of silica particles of nominal diameter 7, 12 and 24 nm, respectively, is reported. It is shown that the viscosity/stress of a gelling system increases with time after gel initiation

We have used a Johnson-Noise Thermometer (JNT) with a Quantized Voltage Noise Source (QVNS) as a calculable reference to determine the ratio of temperatures near the Zn freezing point to those near the Sn freezing point. The temperatures are derived in a

High resolution spectroscopy is the foundation for many of the most challenging and productive of all astronomical observations. A highly precise, repeatable and stable wavelength calibration is especially essential for long term RV observations. The two

We present new advances in the development of chip-scale atomic frequency references. Coherent population trapping (CPT) resonances usually exhibit contrasts below 10 %, when interrogated with frequency modulated lasers. A relatively simple way to increase
Many information transfer standardization efforts focus excessively on minutiae of the transport format (such as XML), to the detriment of the data model. Information standards could be created more expeditiously if the attention lavished on the transport

Often biometric technology and system evaluators are concerned with capturing accurate performance estimates that predict performance for target populations of interest. Occasionally, predictions, and perhaps adjustments, for subpopulations based on

We adapted a time-resolved magneto-optic microprobe for use with the pulsed inductive microwave magnetometer apparatus, allowing us to measure the magnetization dynamics of a thin Permalloy film at micrometer and millimeter length scales under exactly the

We describe progress toward an optical lattice clock based on an even isotope of Yb. The 1S_0 - P_0 clock resonance in 174Yb is accessed using a magnetically induced spectroscopic technique. Using ~1 mT static magnetic fields and ~10 uW of probe light

We review the current status of the U.S. Primary Frequency Standard, NIST-F1. NIST-F1 is a laser-cooled cesium fountain based frequency standard with an inaccuracy of less than δ f/f {less than or equal to} 5×10 -16 limited mainly by the radiation field in

Single-trapped-ion frequency standards based on a 282 nm transition in 199Hg+ and on a 267 nm transition in 27Al+ have been developed at NIST over the past several years. Their frequencies are measured relative to each other and to the NIST primary

The structure-property relationship between atomic cation substitution and bulk scale conductivity in perovskites has been studied systematically. A series of Na-Nb perovskites has been synthesized via two methods (1) ion-exchange or (2) synthetic metal

We have covalently attached multiple fluorescent silicon nanocrystals (SNs) to streptavidin molecule. Selective conjugation of SNs to a target protein is accomplished using sequential silicon surface termination chemistry. In the first step, freshly
