Design and Capabilities of the Assistive Clock Fusion Testbed

February 4, 2021
Author(s)
Dhananjay Anand
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been working with industry and academia to develop algorithms and technologies to improve the resilience of timing subsystems used in high-performance sensing and control hardware. Resilience

Spectropolarimetry of primitive phototrophs as global surface biosignatures

February 4, 2021
Author(s)
William Sparks, M. N. Parenteau, Robert E. Blankenship, Thomas Germer, C.H. L. Patty, Kimberly M. Bott, Charles M. Telesco, Victoria S. Meadows
Photosynthesis is an ancient metabolic process that began on the early Earth, offering plentiful energy to organisms that utilize it, to the extent that they can achieve global significance. The potential exists for similar processes to operate on

optbayesexpt: Sequential Bayesian Experiment Design for Adaptive Measurements

February 3, 2021
Author(s)
Robert McMichael, Sean M. Blakley, Sergey Dushenko
Optbayesexpt is a free, open-source python package that provides adaptive algorithms for efficient estimation/measurement of parameters in a model function. Parameter estimation is the type of measurement one would conventionally tackle with a sequence of

Single-Flux-Quantum Multiplier Circuits for Synthesizing Gigahertz Waveforms With Quantum-Based Accuracy

February 3, 2021
Author(s)
Manuel C. Castellanos Beltran, David I. Olaya, Adam J. Sirois, Christine A. Donnelly, Paul Dresselhaus, Samuel Benz, Peter F. Hopkins
We designed, simulated, and experimentally demonstrated components for a microwave frequency digital-to-analog converter (DAC) based on rapid single flux quantum (RSFQ) circuits and a superconducting amplifier based on SQUID stacks. These are key

Structural Performance of Nuclear Power Plant Concrete Structures Affected by Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) - Task 2: Assessing Bond and Anchorage of Reinforcing Bars in ASR-Affected Concrete

February 3, 2021
Author(s)
Travis E. Thonstad, Jonathan Weigand, Fahim H. Sadek, Sorin Marcu, timothy J. barrett, Hai S. Lew, Long Phan, Adam L. Pintar
This report describes the results of Task 2 of a five-task comprehensive research program being conducted at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the sponsorship of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The overall study

A Combinatory Ferroelectric Compound Bridging Simple ABO 3 and A-Site-Ordered Quadruple Perovskite

February 2, 2021
Author(s)
Jianfa Zhao, Jiacheng Gao, Wenmin Li, Yuting Qian, Xiao Wang, Xi Shen, Zhiwei Hu, Cheng Dong, Qingzhen Huang, Lipeng Cao, Zhi Li, Jun Zhang, Chongwen Ren, Lei Duan, Qingqing Liu, Richeng Yu, Yang Ren, Shih-Chang Weng, Hong-Ji Lin, Chien-Te Chen, Liu-Hao Tjeng, Youwen Long, Zheng Deng, Jinlong Zhu, Xiancheng Wang, Hongming Weng, Runze Yu, Martha Greenblatt, Changqing Jin

Graphene Quantum Hall Effect Parallel Resistance Arrays

February 2, 2021
Author(s)
Alireza Panna, I Fan Hu, Mattias Kruskopf, Dinesh K. Patel, Dean G. Jarrett, Chieh-I Liu, Shamith Payagala, Dipanjan Saha, Albert Rigosi, David B. Newell, Chi-Te Liang, Randolph Elmquist
As first recognized in 2010, epitaxial graphene on SiC(0001) provides a platform for quantized Hall resistance (QHR) metrology unmatched by other 2D structures and materials. Here we report graphene parallel QHR arrays, with metrologically precise

Hybrid InP and SiN integration of an octave-spanning frequency comb

February 2, 2021
Author(s)
Travis Briles, Su P. Yu, Lin Chang, Chao Xiang, Joel Guo, David Kinghorn, Gregory Moille, Kartik Srinivasan, John E. Bowers, Scott Papp
Implementing optical-frequency combs with integrated photonics will enable wider use of precision timing signals. Here, we explore the generation of an octave-span, Kerr-microresonator frequency comb, using hybrid integration of an InP distributed-feedback

Under-reporting of greenhouse gas emissions in U.S. cities

February 2, 2021
Author(s)
Kimberly Mueller, Kevin R. Gurney, Thomas Lauvaux, Geoffrey Roest, Jianming Liang, Yang Song
Cities dominate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and are emerging as climate mitigation leaders. Many have generated self-reported GHG emission inventories (SRIs) but their accuracy and value to emissions mitigation policymaking is untested. The Vulcan

Absolute energies and emission line shapes of the x-ray lines of lanthanide metals

February 1, 2021
Author(s)
Joseph Fowler, Galen O'Neil, Bradley K. Alpert, Douglas Bennett, Edward V. Denison, William Doriese, Gene Hilton, Lawrence T. Hudson, Young I. Joe, Kelsey Morgan, Daniel Schmidt, Daniel Swetz, Csilla I. Szabo-Foster, Joel Ullom
We use an array of transition-edge sensors, cryogenic microcalorimeters with 4 eV energy resolution, to measure the x-ray emission-line profiles of four elements of the lanthanide series: praseodymium, neodymium, terbium, and holmium. The spectrometer also

Algorithms and Data Structures for New Models of Computation

February 1, 2021
Author(s)
Paul Black, David W. Flater, Irena Bojanova
In the early days of computer science, the community settled on a simple standard model of computing and a basic canon of general purpose algorithms and data structures suited to that model. With isochronous computing, heterogeneous multiprocessors, flash

Electrolyte Layer Gas Triggers Cathode Potential Instability in CO2 Electrolyzers

February 1, 2021
Author(s)
Kevin Krause, Jason K. Lee, ChungHyuk Lee, Hisan W. Shafaque, Pascal J. Kim, Kieran F. Fahy, Pranay Shrestha, Jacob LaManna, Elias Baltic, David Jacobson, Daniel Hussey, Aimy Bazylak
Electrolytic carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction is becoming increasingly promising for managing anthropogenic CO2 emissions; however, issues related to unstable performance and ineffective gas management are still not fully accounted for in the field. Here, we

Implementation of a Self-Consistent Slab Model of Bilayer Structure in the SasView Suite

February 1, 2021
Author(s)
Luoxi Tan, James G. Elkins, Brian H. Davison, Elizabeth Kelley, Jonathan Nickels
Slab models are simple and useful structural descriptions which have long been used to describe lyotropic lamellar phases, such as lipid bilayers. Typically, slab models break a bilayer structure into three pieces, an inner solvent-free core and two
