Derived Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Credentials

August 27, 2019
Author(s)
William D. Newhouse
Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) Publication 201-2, “Personal Identity Verification (PIV) of Federal Employees and Contractors,” establishes a standard for a PIV system based on secure and reliable forms of identity credentials issued by the

Measurement of Oxidatively Induced DNA Damage in Caenorhabditis elegans with High-Salt DNA Extraction and Isotope-Dilution Mass Spectrometry

August 27, 2019
Author(s)
Leona D. Scanlan, Pawel Jaruga, Sanem Hosbas Coskun, Christopher Sims, Shannon Hanna, Jamie L. Almeida, David N. Catoe, Bryant C. Nelson, Miral M. Dizdar, Erdem Coskun
Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is used as a medical and systems toxicity model organism for environmental and developmental assays that include high-throughput methods and genetic studies. However, little is known about background levels of

Stress measurements in alumina by optical fluorescence: revisited

August 27, 2019
Author(s)
Robert F. Cook, Chris A. Michaels
Stress measurements in single crystal and polycrystalline alumina are revisited using a recently-developed optical fluorescence energy shift method. The method simultaneously utilizes the R1 and R2 Cr-related ruby line shifts in alumina to determine two

Screening for Next Generation Refrigerants

August 26, 2019
Author(s)
Piotr A. Domanski
The availability of refrigerants having low global warming potential (GWP) varies between different applications as it is demonstrated by four system types. Unitary air conditioning (high-pressure application) presents a particularly difficult challenge

Securing, Authenticating, and Visualizing Data-Links for Manufacturing Enterprises

August 26, 2019
Author(s)
William Z. Bernstein, Sylvere Krima, Laetitia Monnier, Mehdi Shahid
We introduce a prototype implementation of the Securing and Authenticating Data-Links (SADL) Interface, which interacts with a manufacturing handle registry to facilitate traceability of digital resources for engineering projects. This paper outlines the

Protein Translocation Activity in Surface-Supported Lipid Bilayers

August 25, 2019
Author(s)
Kanokporn Chattrakun, David Hoogerheide, Chunfeng Mao, Linda L. Randall, Gavin M. King
Surface-supported lipid bilayers are used widely throughout the nanoscience community as robust mimics of cellular membrane. For example, they are frequently employed in single molecule atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies to shed light on membrane

Thermodynamics of the New Refrigerants

August 24, 2019
Author(s)
Mark O. McLinden
As the refrigeration industry moves towards low-GWP refrigerants the number of acceptable refrigerants is decreasing due to new environmental constraints, but, at the same time, a variety of new options are becoming available. These "new" refrigerants

Temporal pattern recognition with delayed feedback spin-torque nano-oscillators

August 23, 2019
Author(s)
Mathieu Riou, Jacob Torrejon, B. Garitaine, Flavio Abreu Araujo, Paolo Bortolotti, Vincent Cros, Sumito Tsunegi, K. Yakushiji, Akio Fukushima, Hitoshi Kubota, Shinji Yuasa, Damien Querlioz, Mark D. Stiles, Julie Grollier
The recent demonstration of neuromorphic computing with spin-torque nano-oscillators has opened a path to energy efficient data processing. The success of this demonstration hinged on the intrinsic short-term memory of the oscillators. In this study, we

A compact, UHV ion source for enriching 28Si and depositing epitaxial thin films

August 22, 2019
Author(s)
Ke Tang, Hyun S. Kim, Aruna N. Ramanayaka, David S. Simons, Joshua M. Pomeroy
An ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) compatible Penning ion source for growing pure, highly enriched 28Si epitaxial thin films is presented. Enriched 28Si is a critical material for quantum information due to the elimination of nuclear spins and, in some cases, must

Background and Review of Cavity-Enhanced Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion

August 22, 2019
Author(s)
Oliver T. Slattery, Lijun Ma, Kevin Zong, Xiao Tang
Spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) in a nonlinear crystal has been a workhorse for the generation of entangled and correlated single-photon pairs used for quantum communications applications for nearly three decades. However, as a naturally

NIST Conference Papers Fiscal Year 2017, Volume 1: Engineering Laboratory

August 22, 2019
Author(s)
Andrea M. Medina-Smith, Kathryn Miller, Karen J. Wick
NIST is committed to the idea that results of federally funded research are a valuable national resource and a strategic asset. To the extent feasible and consistent with law, agency mission, resource constraints, and U.S. national, homeland, and economic

Preparation and calibration of a Protactinium-231 reference material

August 22, 2019
Author(s)
Richard Essex, Ross W. Williams, Kerri C. Treinen, Ronald Colle, Ryan P. Fitzgerald, Raphael Galea, John Keightley, Jerome LaRosa, Lizbeth Laureano-Perez, Svetlana Nour, Leticia Pibida
A 231Pa reference material has been characterized for amount of Pa. This reference material is primarily intended for calibration of 233Pa tracers produced for 231Pa - 235U model age measurements associated with nuclear forensics and nuclear safeguards

A semiclassical theory of phase-space dynamics of interacting bosons

August 21, 2019
Author(s)
Eite Tiesinga, Ranchu Mathew
We study the phase-space representation of dynamics of bosons in the semiclassical regime where the occupation number of the modes is large. To this end, we employ the van Vleck-Gutzwiller propagator to obtain an approximation for the Green’s function of
