Non-Resonant Valence-to-Core X-ray Emission Spectroscopy of Niobium

March 23, 2018
Author(s)
Bruce D. Ravel, A. J. Kropf, Dali Yang, Mengen Wang, Mehmet Topsokal, Deyu Lu, M. C. Stennett, N. C. Hyatt
The valence-to-core (V2C) portion of X-ray Emission Spectroscopy (XES) measures the electron 15 states close to the Fermi level. These states are involved in bonding, thus provide a measure of the 16 chemistry of the material. In this manuscript, we show

Spin-torque excitation of perpendicular standing spin waves in coupled YIG/Co heterostructures

March 23, 2018
Author(s)
Stefan Klinger, Vivek P. Amin, Stephan Gepraegs, Kathrin Ganzhorn, Hannes Maier-Flaig, Matthias Althammer, Hans Huebl, Rudolf Gross, Robert McMichael, Mark D. Stiles, Sebastian Goennenwein, Mathias Weiler
We investigate yttrium iron garnet (YIG)/cobalt (Co) heterostructures using broadband ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). We observe an efficient excitation of perpendicular standing spin waves (PSSWs) in the YIG layer when the resonance frequencies of the YIG

Surviving Unpatchable Vulnerabilities through Multi-Option Network Hardening

March 23, 2018
Author(s)
Daniel Borbor, Lingyu Wang, Sushil Jajodia, Anoop Singhal
The administrators of a mission critical network usually have to worry about non-traditional threats, e.g., how to live with known, but unpatchable vulnerabilities,and how to improve the network's resilience against potentially unknown vulnerabilities. To

Determination of spin Hall effect and spin diffusion length of Pt from self-consistent fitting of damping enhancement and inverse spin-orbit torque measurements

March 22, 2018
Author(s)
Andy Berger, Eric R. Edwards, Hans T. Nembach, Olof Karis, Mathias Weiler, Thomas J. Silva
Understanding the evolution of spin-orbit torque (SOT) with increasing heavy-metal thickness in ferromagnet/normal metal (FM/NM) bilayers is critical for the development of magnetic memory based on SOT. However, several experiments have revealed an

Reducing the impact of transport model error in urban greenhouse gas inversion models using the Aliso Canyon natural gas leak as a natural tracer experiment

March 22, 2018
Author(s)
Sharon M. Gourdji, Vineet Yadav, Anna Karion, Kimberly L. Mueller, T. Conley, Stephen Conley, Tom Ryerson, Thomas Nehrkorn, Eric Kort
Urban greenhouse gas (GHG) flux estimation with atmospheric measurements and modeling, i.e., the “top-down” approach, can potentially support emission reduction policies by providing continuous data streams for trend and anomaly detection in conjunction

AFM Scan Speed Phenomena

March 21, 2018
Author(s)
Jason P. Killgore, Christopher C. Glover, Ryan Tung
This work presents data confirming the existence of a scan speed related phenomenon in contact mode atomic force microscopy. Specifically, contact resonance spectroscopy is used to interrogate this phenomenon. A monotonic decrease in the recorded contact

Nanocomposite Electrolytes for Lithium Batteries with Reduced Flammability

March 21, 2018
Author(s)
Mauro Zammarano, Apostolos Enotiadis, Nikhil Fernandes, Natalie A. A. Becerra, Emmanuel P. Giannelis
We report a family of flame-retardant electrolytes for lithium batteries based on ionic nanocomposites. The nanocomposites are synthesized in one pot by dispersing SiO2 nanoparticles charge-balanced by both Li ions and mono-amino-terminated polyether (PEO

Probing the Optical Properties and Strain-Tuning of Ultrathin Mo1-xWxTe2

Author(s)
Ozgur B. Aslan, Isha M. Datye, Michal J. Mleczko, Karen Lau, Sergiy Krylyuk, Alina Bruma, Irina Kalish, Albert Davydov, Eric Pop, Tony F. Heinz
Ultrathin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have recently been extensively investigated to understand their electronic and optical properties. Here we study ultrathin Mo0.91W0.09Te2, a semiconducting alloy of MoTe2, using Raman, photoluminescence

Errors in Rate of Rise Gas Flow Measurements from Flow Work

March 20, 2018
Author(s)
John D. Wright, Aaron Johnson, Gina Kline, Michael R. Moldover
The rate of rise (RoR) method measures the time rate of change of the mass of gas in a collection volume as it is filled via a flow meter under test. The mass of gas is calculated from time-stamped pressure and temperature data gathered from the known

Examining epitaxial graphene surface conductivity and quantum Hall device stability with Parylene passivation

March 20, 2018
Author(s)
Albert F. Rigosi, Chieh-I Liu, Bi Y. Wu, Hsin Y. Lee, Mattias Kruskopf, Yanfei Yang, Heather M. Hill, Jiuning Hu, Emily G. Bittle, Jan Obrzut, Angela R. Hight Walker, Randolph E. Elmquist, David B. Newell
When it comes to the advancement of quantized Hall resistance (QHR) standards, homogeneous, single-crystal, monolayer epitaxial graphene (EG) is the most promising candidate. EG-based quantum Hall devices, though emerging as a useful tool for metrology

NIST Customer Demographics: Collaborative Research and Development Agreements

March 20, 2018
Author(s)
Nicole K. Gingrich, Isaac S. Patterson
This economic analysis brief summarizes the efforts and results of the data collection and analysis of NIST's CRADA partner information. Summary statistics for CRADA partners are provided for fiscal years 2006 through 2015. Included in the analysis are

Wafer-Level Electrically Detected Magnetic Resonance:Magnetic Resonance in a Probing Station

Duane J. McCrory, Mark Anders, Jason Ryan, Pragya Shrestha, Kin P. Cheung, Patrick M. Lenahan, Jason Campbell
We report on a novel semiconductor reliability technique that incorporates an electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR) spectrometer within a conventional semiconductor wafer probing station. EDMR is an ultrasensitive electron paramagnetic resonance

3D printed ABS-MOF composite materials and their gas storage properties

March 19, 2018
Author(s)
Michael Bible, Makfir Sefa, Julia Scherschligt, Zeeshan Ahmed, James A. Fedchak, Hartings Mathew
Metal organic framework materials (MOFs) have been primarily recognized for their ability to promote selective storage of gas molecules. In their as-synthesized (powdered) form, MOFs are not easily processed for use in end-devices where their properties

Standard Reference Material (SRM) 2372a is intended for use in the value assignment of human genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) forensic quantitation materials. A unit of SRM 2372a consists of three well-characterized human genomic DNA materials

Local Randomness: Examples and Application

March 19, 2018
Author(s)
Honghao Fu, Carl Miller
When two players achieve a superclassical score at a nonlocal game, their outputs must contain intrinsic randomness. This fact has many useful implications for quantum cryptography. Recently it has been observed (C. Miller, Y. Shi, Quant. Inf. & Comp. 17
