Quantum Phase Transitions in a Quasi-One-Dimensional Ising Quantum Magnet in Transverse Fields

April 15, 2021
Author(s)
Xiaowen Zhang, Zheng He, Yiqing Hao, Yao Shen, Shoudong Shen, Yu Feng, Guangyong Xu, Nicholas Butch, Goran J. Nilsen, Wenbin Wang, Jun Zhao
We report neutron scattering and thermodynamic measurements of the quasi-one-dimensional Ising magnet SrCo 2V 2O 8 under transverse fields along the tetragonal a/b direction. Our experiments reveal a Neel-type magnetic order in zero field, which

A Comprehensive Analysis on Multicast and Unicast Performance and Selection

April 14, 2021
Author(s)
Chen Shen, Chunmei Liu, Richard A. Rouil
Multicast transmission has long been studied along with its evolved standards, but few work provides comprehensive comparisons to Long Term Evolution (LTE) unicast transmissions. With focus on LTE Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN)

A Standard System Phantom for Magnetic Resonance Imaging

April 13, 2021
Author(s)
Maureen Ainslie, Michael A. Boss, Cecil Charles, Laurence Clarke, Jeffrey L. Evelhoch, Paul Finn, Derek L. Hill, Kathryn Keenan, Guoying Liu, Karl Stupic, Chun Yuan, Michele Martin, Maureen Ainslie, Nikki Rentz
A standard MRI system phantom has been designed and fabricated to assess scanner performance, scanner stability, scanner inter-comparability and accuracy of quantitative relaxation time imaging. The phantom is unique in having SI-traceability, a high level

Broadband generation of perfect Poincare beams via dielectric spin-multiplexed metasurface

April 13, 2021
Author(s)
Mingze Liu, Pengcheng Huo, Wenqi Zhu, Cheng Zhang, Si Zhang, Maowen Song, Song Zhang, Qianwei Zhou, Lu Chen, Henri Lezec, Amit Agrawal, Yanqing Lu, Ting Xu
Poincaré beam, which describes the space-variant polarization of a light beam carrying spin angular momentum (SAM) and orbital angular momentum (OAM), plays an important role in various optical applications. Since the radius of a Poincaré beam depends on

Implementing a Registry Federation for Materials Science Data Discovery

April 13, 2021
Author(s)
Raymond L. Plante, Chandler Becker, Andrea M. Medina-Smith, Kevin G. Brady, Alden A. Dima, Benjamin J. Long, Laura M. Bartolo, Robert Hanisch
As a result of a number of national initiatives, we are seeing rapid growth in the data important to materials science that are available over the web. Consequently, it is becoming increasingly difficult for researchers to learn what data are available and

Magnetic Particle Self-Assembly at Functionalized Interfaces

April 13, 2021
Author(s)
Apurve Saini, Katharina Theis-Brohl, Alexandros Koutsioubas, Kathryn L. Krycka, Julie Borchers, Max Wolff
We study the assembly of magnetite nanoparticles in water-based ferrofluids in wetting layers close to silicon substrates with different functionalization without and with an out-of-plane magnetic field. For particles of nominal sizes 5 nm, 15 nm and 25 nm

Role of low molecular weight polymers on the dynamics of silicon anodes during casting

April 13, 2021
Author(s)
Mary Burdette, Beth Armstrong, Ryan Murphy, Luke Heroux, Mathieu Doucet, Stephen Trask, Alexander Rogers, Gabriel Veith
This work probes the slurry architecture of a high silicon content electrode slurry with and without low molecular weight polymeric dispersants as a function of shear rate to mimic electrode casting conditions for poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and lithium

Systematic Merging of Nonfullerene Acceptor p-Extension and Tetrafluorination Strategies Affords Polymer Solar Cells with > 16% Efficiency

April 13, 2021
Author(s)
Subhrangsu Mukherjee, Dean DeLongchamp, Guoping Li, Xiaohua Zhang, Leighton Jones, Joaquin Alzola, Liang-Wen Feng, Weigang Zhu, Charlotte Stern, Junsheng Yu, Vinod K. Sangwan, Kevin L. Kohlstedt, Michael R. Wasielewski, Mark C. Hersam, George C. Schatz, Antonio Facchetti, Tobin Marks
The end-capping group (EG) is the essential electron-withdrawing component of nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) in bulk heterojunction (BHJ) organic solar cells (OSCs). To systematically probe the impact of two frequent EG functionalization strategies, π

Anisotropic resonant x-ray diffraction of a conjugated polymer at the sulfur K-edge

April 12, 2021
Author(s)
Eliot Gann, Christopher McNeill, Guillaume Freychet
The planar, aromatic nature of the backbone of conjugated polymers endow them with anisotropic properties. Here we show that the resonant x-ray diffraction of a sulfur containing semicrystalline conjugated polymer at the sulfur K-edge is highly anisotropic

Certification of Standard Reference Material(R) 2686b Portland Cement Clinker

April 12, 2021
Author(s)
N. Alan Heckert, Laura Mundy, Paul E. Stutzman
A new Standard Reference Material® (SRM) for portland cement clinker has been produced for the Office of Standard Reference Materials at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The SRM clinkers are intended for use in developing and

Challenge Design and Lessons Learned from the 2018 Differential Privacy Challenges

April 12, 2021
Author(s)
Diane Ridgeway, Mary Theofanos, Terese Manley, Christine Task
The push for open data has made a multitude of datasets available enabling researchers to analyze publicly available information using various statistical and machine learning methods in support of policy development. An area of increasing interest that is

Combinatorial Testing Metrics for Machine Learning

April 12, 2021
Author(s)
Erin Lanus, Laura Freeman, D. Richard Kuhn, Raghu N. Kacker
This short paper defines a combinatorial coverage metric for comparing machine learning (ML) data sets and proposes the differences between data sets as a function of combinatorial coverage. The paper illustrates its utility for evaluating and predicting

Laboratory Tests of a Prototype Carbon Dioxide Ground-Source Air Conditioner

April 12, 2021
Author(s)
Harrison M. Skye, Wei Wu
Environmental concerns are driving regulations to reduce the use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) with high global warming potential (GWP) as refrigerants in heat pumps. CO2 is an attractive alternative refrigerant because is it 'environmentally friendly' in

Robust Biological Hydrogen-Bonded Organic Framework with Post-Functionalized Rhenium(I) Sites for Efficient Heterogeneous Visible Light-Driven CO 2 Reduction
