Nanoscale Pattern Decay Monitored via in-situ Heated Atomic Force Microscopy

March 12, 2020
Author(s)
Sonal Bhadauriya, Jianan Zhang, Jaejun Lee, Michael R. Bockstaller, Alamgir Karim, Richard J. Sheridan, Christopher Stafford
We combine in-situ heated atomic force microscopy (AFM) with automated line-by-line spectral analysis to quantify the relaxation or decay of nanopatterned polymer films at temperatures above the glass transition. This approach enables assessment of pattern

The Measurement of the Acceleration Due to Gravity

March 12, 2020
Author(s)
J E. Faller
Instrumental capabilities for both relative and absolute gravity measurements can be made at the parts in 10 9 level of precision. Large but still portable absolute gravimeters have also reached the parts in 10 9 level of accuracy. Present emphasis is on

A MULTIDIMENSIONAL LANDSCAPE MODEL FOR DETERMINING CELLULAR NETWORK THERMODYNAMICS

March 11, 2020
Author(s)
Joseph B. Hubbard, Michael W. Halter, Anne L. Plant
The distribution of phenotypic responses within an isogenic population of cells reflects the thermodynamics of a stationary state that results from coordinated intracellular reactions. The distribution of phenotypes is the result of both deterministic and

Long-Range Magnetic Order in Hydroxide-Layer-Doped (Li 1-x-y Fe x Mn y OD)FeSe

March 11, 2020
Author(s)
Brandon Wilfong, Xiuquan Zhou, Huafei Zheng, Navneeth Babra, Craig Brown, Jeffrey W. Lynn, Keith M. Taddei, Johnpierre Paglione, Efrain E. Rodriguez
The (Li 1-xFe xOH)FeSe superconductor has been suspected to exhibit long-range magnetic ordering due to Fe substitution in the LiOH layer. However, no direct observation such as magnetic reflection from neutron diffraction has be reported. Here, we use a

Large Enhancement of Magnetocaloric and Barocaloric Effects by Hydrostatic Pressure in La(Fe 0.92 Co 0.08 ) 11.9 Si 1.1 with a NaZn 13 -Type Structure

March 10, 2020
Author(s)
Jiazheng Hao, Fengxia Hu, Jian-Tao Wang, Fei-Ran Shen, Zibing Yu, Houbo Zhou, Hui Wu, Qingzhen Huang, Kaiming Qiao, Jing Wang, Jun He, Lunhua He, Ji-Rong Sun, Baogen Shen
Solid state refrigeration based on caloric effect has been regarded as an attractive alternative to conventional gas compression technique. Boosting the caloric effect of a system to its optimum is a long-term pursuit. Here, we report enhanced

Passwords Protect My Stuff a Study of Childrens Password Practices

March 10, 2020
Author(s)
Yee-Yin Choong, Mary F. Theofanos, Karen Renaud, Suzanne Prior
Children use technology from a very young age, and often have to authenticate. The goal of this study is to explore children’s practices, perceptions, and knowledge regarding passwords. Given the limited work to date and that the world’s cyber posture and

Photonic spin-multiplexing metasurface for switchable spiral phase contrast imaging

March 10, 2020
Author(s)
Pengcheng Huo, Cheng Zhang, Wenqi Zhu, Mingze Liu, Song Zhang, Si Zhang, Lu Chen, Henri Lezec, Amit Agrawal, Yanqing Lu, Ting Xu
As the two most representative operation modes in an optical imaging system, bright-field imaging and phase contrast imaging can address different dimensionalities of an object. Developing a miniature and low-cost system capable of switching between these

Quantities and Units for Software Product Measurements

March 10, 2020
Author(s)
David W. Flater
International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 80000, the International System of Quantities, collects and organizes the most important physical quantities into a coherent system. In a similar fashion

Hydrodynamic Factors Influencing Mineral Dissolution Rates

March 9, 2020
Author(s)
Nicos Martys, Jeffrey W. Bullard, Pan Feng, Shaoxiong Ye
Solution flow profiles near a mineral surface can have significant influences on the local thermodynamic driving force and, potentially, the rate-controlling kinetic mechanism of its dissolution or precipitation. These influences are investigated here both

Intumescent Polydopamine Coatings for Fire Protection

March 9, 2020
Author(s)
Douglas M. Fox, Whirang Cho, Laura J. Dubrulle, Phillip Grutzmacher, Mauro Zammarano, Douglas M. Fox
Polydopamine coatings containing additional bioderived flame retardants were used as coatings for polyurethane foam and cardboard. The ability to form intumescing coatings was crucial for achieving good flame protection. Dopamine can effectively

Observation of a C-type Short-Range Antiferromagnetic Order in Lyaer Spacing Expanded FeS

March 9, 2020
Author(s)
Meng Wang, Ming Yi, Benjamin A. Frandsen, Junjie Yin, Hualei Sun, Zhijun Xu, Huibo Cao, Edith Bourret-Courchesne, Jeffrey W. Lynn, Robert J. Birgeneau
We report neutron diffraction studies of FeS single crystals obtained from Rb xFe 2-yS 2 single crystals via a hydrothermal method. While no √5 x √5 iron vacancy order or block antiferromagnetic order typical of RRb xFe 2-yS 2 is found in our samples, we

Targeted enrichment of 28Si thin films for quantum computing

March 9, 2020
Author(s)
Ke Tang, Hyun S. Kim, Aruna N. Ramanayaka, David S. Simons, Joshua M. Pomeroy
We report on the growth of isotopically enriched 28Si epitaxial films with precisely controlled enrichment levels, ranging from natural abundance ratio of 92.2% all the way to 99.99987 % (0.832 × 10-6 mol/mol 29Si). Isotopically enriched 28Si is regarded

Workshop on Machine Learning for Optical Communication Systems: a summary

March 8, 2020
Author(s)
Joshua A. Gordon, Abdella Battou, Dan Kilper
A summary and overview of a public workshop on machine learning for optical Communication systems held on August 2nd 2019, by the Communications Technology Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, CO.

Polarization Dependence of Charge Conduction in Conjugated Polymer Films Investigated with Time- Resolved Terahertz Spectroscopy

March 6, 2020
Author(s)
Timothy J. Magnanelli, Sebastian Engmann, Jared K. Wahlstrand, John C. Stephenson, Lee J. Richter, Edwin J. Heilweil
We interrogate polarization anisotropy associated with charge conduction in films of the block co polymer PCDTPT, consisting of alternating cyclopenta dithiophene (donor) and thiadiazolo pyridine (acceptor) units with respect to sample morphology. Film
