The importance of international standards for the graphene community

March 15, 2021
Author(s)
Charles Clifford, Erlon H. Martins Ferreira, Toshiyuki Fujimoto, Jan Herrmann, Angela R. Hight Walker, Denis Koltsov, Christian Punckt, Lingling Ren, Gregory J. Smallwood, Andrew J. Pollard
If graphene and related 2D materials are to be used commercially, buyers need to have confidence in the measured properties of the material they obtain from suppliers. Scientists from international standards committees describe how the first joint ISO/IEC

Optimizing optical precision of an image using curved focal plane technology

March 14, 2021
Author(s)
Sujay Swain, Sudhish Swain, Dianne L. Poster, Michael T. Postek
The quality of an image captured by the human eye is typically better than that obtained relative to artificial images created by cameras or telescopes. This is because humans have curved retinas. In contrast, conventional imaging cameras have at sensors

Author(s)
Daniel Lesko, Henry R. Timmers, Sida Xing, Abijith S. Kowligy, Alexander Lind, Scott Diddams
A coherent, compact and robust light source with coverage from the ultraviolet to the infrared is desirable for heterodyne super-resolution imaging1, broadband infrared microscopy2, protein structure determination3 and standoff trace-gas detection4. To

Classical Spin Liquid or Extended Critical Range in h-YMnO 3 ?

Sofie Janas, Jakob Lass, Ana-Elena Tutueanu, Morten L. Haubro, Christof Niedermayer, Uwe Stuhr, Guangyong Xu, Dharmalingam Prabhakaran, Pascale P. Deen, Sonja Holm-Dahlin, Kim Lefmann
Inelastic neutron experiments on the classical triangular-lattice frustrated antiferromagnet h-YMnO 3 reveal diffuse, gapless magnetic excitations present both far below and far above the ordering temperature, TN. The correlation length of the excitations

Contactless Fingerprint Capture and Data Interchange Best Practice Recommendation

March 11, 2021
Author(s)
Shahram Orandi, John M. Libert, Craig I. Watson, Gregory Fiumara, John Grantham
While contactless fingerprint capture devices stand to provide for many benefits, images from this nascent technology are sufficiently different than traditional contact-collected images thereby warranting the separation of these new contactless

Mitigating finite bandwidth effects in time-division- multiplexed SQUID readout of TES arrays

March 11, 2021
Author(s)
Malcolm Durkin, Joseph S. Adams, Simon Bandler, James A. Chervenak, Ed Denison, William Doriese, Shannon Duff, Fred M. Finkbeiner, Joseph Fowler, Johnathon Gard, Gene C. Hilton, Ruslan Hummatov, Kent Irwin, Young I. Joe, Richard L. Kelley, Caroline A. Kilbourne, Antoine R. Miniussi, Kelsey Morgan, Galen O'Neil, Christine Pappas, Frederick S. Porter, Carl Reintsema, Kazuhiro Sakai, Stephen J. Smith, Robert W. Stevens, Daniel Swetz, Paul Szypryt, Joel Ullom, Leila Vale, Nicholas A. Wakeham
Time division multiplexing (TDM) is being developed as the readout technology of the X-ray integral field unit (X-IFU), a 3,168-pixel X-ray transition-edge sensor (TES) imaging spectrometer that is part of the European Space Agency's Athena satellite

Phonon redshift and Hubble friction in an expanding BEC

March 11, 2021
Author(s)
Stephen Eckel, Ted Jacobson
We revisit the theoretical analysis of an expanding ring-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate. Starting from the action and integrating over dimensions orthogonal to the phonon's direction of travel, we derive an effective one-dimensional wave equation for

A new model dielectric function for loss functions and electron damping

March 10, 2021
Author(s)
Eric L. Shirley
Trends in the zeroth frequency moment of the imaginary part of the dielectric function are studied for a wide range of metals, semiconductors and insulators. These results are combined with estimates for the inverse-first moment (related by Kramers-Kronig
