Magnetic damping in sputtered Co2MnGe Heusler compounds with A2, B2 and L21 order: Experiment and Theory

March 19, 2018
Author(s)
Justin M. Shaw, Eric R. Edwards, Martin A. Schoen, Michael L. Schneider, Matthew R. Pufall, Thomas J. Silva, Hans T. Nembach, Erna Delczeg
We show that very low values of the magnetic damping parameter can be achieved in sputter deposited poly-crystalline films of Co2MnGe annealed at relatively low temperatures ranging from 240 oC to 400 oC. Damping values as low as 0.0014 are achieved with

Spin currents and spin-orbit torques in ferromagnetic trilayers

March 19, 2018
Author(s)
Seung-heon C. Baek, Vivek P. Amin, Young-Wan Oh, Gyungchoon Go, Seung-Jae Lee, Geun-Hee Lee, Kab-Jin Kim, Mark D. Stiles, Byong-Guk Park, Kyung Jin Lee
Spin current generation by the spin-orbit interaction is one of the central themes in condensed matter physics. The spin Hall effect, for instance, is a bulk spin-orbit coupling effect that converts a charge current to a spin current. A recent theory

The Influence of Walls, Corners and Enclosures on Fire Plumes

March 19, 2018
Author(s)
Kevin B. McGrattan, Michael J. Selepak, Edward J. Hnetkovsky
This report documents two series of compartment fire experiments in which a natural gas burner is positioned in a corner, or against a wall, or inside a steel cabinet, to assess the effects on the plume and compartment temperatures. The measurements

Topological lattice using multi-frequency radiation

March 19, 2018
Author(s)
Ian B. Spielman, Gediminas Juzeli?nas, Tomas Andrijauskas
We describe a novel technique for creating an artificial magnetic field for ultra-cold atoms using a periodically pulsed pair of counter propagating Raman lasers that drive transitions between a pair of internal atomic spin states: a multi-frequency

Effectiveness of Laser Safety Eyewear under Real-World Conditions

March 18, 2018
Author(s)
Christopher J. Stromberg, Edwin J. Heilweil, Joshua A. Hadler
Ultrafast lasers have become increasingly important as research tools in chemistry, which means laser safety is becoming more important. Laser safety glasses represent the last line of defense to protect users from potentially life-altering eye injuries

Enhancing optical microscopy illumination to enable quantitative imaging

March 18, 2018
Author(s)
Emil Agocs, Ravikiran Attota
There has been an increasing push to derive quantitative measurements using optical microscopes. While several aspects of microscopy have been identified to enhance quantitative imaging, non- uniform angular illumination asymmetry (ANILAS) across the field

Qualification of NISTmAb charge heterogeneity control assays

March 18, 2018
Author(s)
Abigail Turner, John E. Schiel
The NISTmAb is a monoclonal antibody Reference Material from the National Institute of Standards and Technology; it is a class-representative IgG1κ intended serve as a pre-competitive platform for harmonization and technology development in the

Glassy Phases in Organic Semiconductors

March 17, 2018
Author(s)
Chad R. Snyder, Dean M. DeLongchamp
Organic semiconductors may be processed from fluids using graphical arts printing and patterning techniques to create complex circuitry. Because organic semiconductors are weak van der Waals solids, the creation of glassy phases during processing is quite

Public Safety User Interface R&D Summit Report

March 16, 2018
Author(s)
Scott A. Ledgerwood, Marc Leh
The User Interface Roadmap R&D Summit allowed PSCR stakeholders to build on the findings published in the recent Public Safety User Interface R&D Roadmap. It provided an avenue for public safety end-users, industry and academic experts, and federal

Zero-field current switching of magnetic domains via chiral domain walls

March 16, 2018
Author(s)
Yufan Li, Qinli Ma, Daniel Gopman, Yury Kabanov, Robert D. Shull, C Chien
In ferromagnetic (FM) materials, the inherent exchange interaction, magnetic anisotropy, & dipolar forces dictate the domain walls (DWs), Bloch or N´eel, that separate magnetic moments. However, in FM thin films in contact with heavy metal (HM) with strong

Direct DC 10 V comparison between two Programmable Josephson Voltage Standards made of Niobium Nitride (NbN)-based and amorphous niobium silicon (NbxSi1-x)-based Josephson Junctions

March 15, 2018
Author(s)
Alain Rufenacht, Stephane Solve, M Maruyama, Chiharu Urano, Nobu Kaneko
For the first time, the BIPM’s new transportable programmable Josephson voltage standard (PJVS) has been used for an on-site comparison at the National Metrology Institute of Japan (NMIJ), the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and

Formation of Nb-rich droplets in laser deposited Ni-matrix microstructures

March 15, 2018
Author(s)
Supriyo Ghosh, Mark R. Stoudt, Lyle E. Levine, Jonathan E. Guyer
Ni-rich $\gamma$ cells/dendrites and Nb-rich eutectic droplets that form during laser power bed fusion (LPBF) solidification of Ni-Nb alloys are studied in the present work using numerical simulations. Finite element simulations estimate the local cooling

Inductive detection of fieldlike and dampinglike ac inverse spin-orbit torques in ferromagnet/normal-metal bilayers

March 15, 2018
Author(s)
Andy Berger, Eric R. Edwards, Hans T. Nembach, Justin M. Shaw, Alexy D. Karenowska, Mathias Weiler, Thomas J. Silva
Phenomena that result from strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) at ferromagnet/normal metal (FM/NM) interfaces hold great promise for the development of efficient and scalable spintronic devices. SOC drives non-equilibrium spin-charge conversion, manifest as

Enabling Robot Agility in Manufacturing Kitting Applications

March 14, 2018
Author(s)
Zeid Kootbally, Craig I. Schlenoff, Brian Antonishek, Frederick M. Proctor, Thomas Kramer, William Harrison, Satyandra K. Gupta
For the most part, robots perform best in highly structured environments, where objects are in well-known, predictable loca-tions. Another way to describe this is that robots are not considered agile. But, in order for them to be useful to small manu

Fog Computing Conceptual Model

Author(s)
Michaela Iorga, Larry Feldman, Robert Barton, Michael J. Martin, Nedim S. Goren, Charif Mahmoudi
Managing the data generated by Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and actuators is one of the biggest challenges faced when deploying an IoT system. Traditional cloud-based IoT systems are challenged by the large scale, heterogeneity, and high latency

Craig I. Schlenoff, Stephen B. Balakirsky, Henrik I. Christensen
Today's state-of-the-art robots are capable of sub-millimeter movement accuracy when performing highly repeatable tasks. They perform extremely well in highly structured environments, where objects are in well-known, predictable locations. However, robots

Because of its inherent crystal anisotropy, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) supports naturally hyperbolic phonon polaritons, i.e. polaritons that can propagate with arbitrarily large wavevectors within the material volume, thereby enabling optical

Reply to comment on "Relativistic Theory of the Falling Cube Gravimeter"

March 14, 2018
Author(s)
Neil Ashby
The comment\cite{kren17} claims that the paper Relativistic theory of the falling cube gravimeter \cite{ashby17} is incorrect. The authors of this comment assert that optical paths in the two interferometer arms of an absolute gravimeter shift only the
