Contrasting Transport and Electrostatic Properties of Selectively Fluorinated Alkanethiol Monolayers with Embedded Dipoles

February 7, 2018
Author(s)
Robert C. Bruce, Lin You, Anja Forster, Sujitra J. Pookpanratana, Olivia Pomerenk, Han Ju Lee, Maria D. Marquez, Rashid Ghanbaripour, Oussama Zensani, T R. Lee, Christina A. Hacker
Surface dipoles are a powerful tool in interfacial modification for improving device output via energy level matching. Fluorinated alkanethiols show strong promise for these applications as they can generate large and tunable dipoles based on fluorine

High coherence plane breaking packaging for superconducting qubits

February 7, 2018
Author(s)
David P. Pappas, Xian Wu, Nicholas T. Bronn, Salvatore B. Olivadese, Vivekananda P. Adiga, Jerry M. Chow
Wedemonstrate a pogo pin package for a superconducting quantum processor specifically designed with a nontrivial layout topology (e.g., a center qubit that cannot be accessed from the sides of the chip). Two experiments on two nominally identical

Valence, loop formation and universality in self-assembling patchy particles

February 7, 2018
Author(s)
Debra J. Audus, Francis W. Starr, Jack F. Douglas
Patchy particles have emerged as an attractive model for phase separation and self-assembly in globular proteins solutions, colloidal patchy particles, and molecular fluids where directional interactions are operative. In our previous work, we extensively

Keyring models: An Approach to Steerability

February 6, 2018
Author(s)
Carl A. Miller, Roger Colbeck, Yaoyun Shi
If a measurement is made on one half of a bipartite system then, conditioned on the outcome, the other half achieves a new reduced state. If these reduced states defy classical explanation -- that is, if shared randomness cannot produce these reduced

Energy Renormalization to Coarse-Graining of the Dynamics of a Model Glass-Forming Liquid

February 5, 2018
Author(s)
Wenjie Xia, Jake Song, Nitin Hansoge, Frederick R. Phelan Jr., Sinan Keten, Jack F. Douglas
Soft condensed matters characteristically exhibit a strong temperature dependence of relaxation properties due to glass formation, but currently no effective temperature transferable coarse- graining method exists that allows for the prediction of their

Fatigue measurement of pipeline steels for application of gaseous hydrogen transport

February 5, 2018
Author(s)
Andrew J. Slifka, Elizabeth S. Drexler, Robert L. Amaro, Louis E. Hayden, Damian S. Lauria, Nikolas W. Hrabe, Douglas G. Stalheim
A comprehensive testing program to determine the fatigue crack growth rate of pipeline steels in pressurized hydrogen gas was completed; the project was sponsored by the Department of Transportation, and was conducted in close collaboration with the ASME

Future Generation Wireless R&D Gaps Report

February 5, 2018
Author(s)
Nada T. Golmie
This report identifies and describes several of the most significant gaps within various components of the wireless industry. This report is intended to serve solely as a knowledge product that recognizes the major challenges facing the broader research

High Quality Oxide Films Deposited at Room Temperature by Ion Beam Sputtering

February 5, 2018
Author(s)
Gerard E. Henein, Juraj Topolancik, Kerry NMN Siebein
SiO2, Al2O3 and ITO have been deposited via ion beam sputtering at room temperature. The SiO2 films, 100 nm thick, were highly insulating with a resistivity of 10 16 Ω·m and breakdown field in excess of 7x108 V/m. The Al2O3 films, 3 to 4 nm in thickness

Optics Contamination

Self-Similar Architectures for Smart Manufacturing and Logistics Systems

February 5, 2018
Author(s)
Timothy A. Sprock
Self-similar architectures can simplify some design and interoperability challenges for smart manufacturing and logistics systems. To be effective, self-similar architectures for these domains must extend existing models of self-similar controller

The Boltzmann Project

February 5, 2018
Author(s)
Samuel P. Benz, Joachim Fischer, Bernd Fellmuth, Christof Gaiser, Laurent Pitre, Fernando Sparasci, Lara Risegari, Roberto M. Gavioso, D M. Rippa, Bengt Hallstedt, Jifeng Qu, XiaoJuan Feng, Jianqiang Zhang, David R. White, L Gianfrani, A Castrillo, L Moretti, B Darquie, C Daussy, S Briaudeau, O Kozlova, J J. Segovia, M C. Martin, D del Campo, Michael R. Moldover
The International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM), at its meeting in October 2017 followed the recommendation of the Consultative Committee for Units (CCU) on the redefinition of the kilogram, ampere, kelvin and mole. For the redefinition of the

Differential degradation patterns of photovoltaic backsheets at the array level

February 4, 2018
Author(s)
Andrew W. Fairbrother, Matthew Boyd, Yadong Lyu, Julien Avenet, Peter Illich, Michael Kempe, Brian P. Dougherty, Laura Bruckman, Xiaohong Gu
Photovoltaic backsheet degradation is commonly related to end-of-life failure of a module, and as such is an important factor in system reliability and longevity. Some module manufacturers have recently begun utilizing non-fluoropolymer-based backsheets in

From Microparticles to Nanowires and Back: Radical Transformations in Plated Li Metal Morphology Revealed via in situ scanning electron microscopy

February 3, 2018
Author(s)
Alexander Yulaev, Vladimir P. Oleshko, Paul M. Haney, Jialin Liu, Yue Qi, Talin Alec, Leite Marina, Andrei A. Kolmakov
Li metal is the preferred anode material for all-solid-state Li batteries due to its high theoretical capacity and low voltage vs. standard hydrogen electrode. However, stable plating and stripping of Li metal in contact with a solid electrolyte at high
