Conformational Nature of DNAGrafted Chains on Spherical Gold Nanoparticles

September 10, 2016
Author(s)
Jack F. Douglas, Fernando Vargas-Lara
We investigate the conformational state of a simple, coarse–grained molecular model for single–stranded DNA chains (ss-DNA) grafted onto spherical symmetric gold nanoparticles (NPs) and of the grafted layer as a whole by molecular dynamic simulations. In

Effective Field Theory for Rydberg Polaritons

September 9, 2016
Author(s)
Michael Gullans, Yidan Wang, Jeff D. Thompson, Qiyu Liang, Vladan Vuletic, Mikhail D. Lukin, Alexey V. Gorshkov
We develop an effective field theory (EFT) to describe the few- and many-body propagation of one- dimensional Rydberg polaritons. We show that the photonic transmission through the Rydberg medium can be found by mapping the propagation problem to a

Development of Potential Organic-Molecule-Based Hydrogen Storage Materials: Converting C-N Bond-Breaking Thermolysis of Guanidine to N-H Bond-Breaking Dehydrogenation

September 8, 2016
Author(s)
Xiuquan Zhou, Wei Zhou, Terrence J. Udovic, Taner N. Yildirim, John J. Rush, Efrain E. Rodriguez, Hui Wu
The small organic molecule guanidine CN 3H 5 can be anionized via a facile reaction with alkali-metal hydrides or amides with the formation of metal guanidinates (MCN 3H 4) and their guanidine adducts. They crystal structures and thermal decomposition

Magnetic Yoking and Tunable Interactions in FePt-Based Hard/Soft Bilayers

September 8, 2016
Author(s)
Dustin Allen Gilbert, Jung-Wei Liao, Brian J Kirby, Michael Winklhofer, Chih-Huang Lai, Kai Liu
Assessing and controlling magnetic interactions in magnetic nanostructures are critical to nanomagnetic and spintronic explorations, such as magnetic recording media, permanent magnets, magnetic memory and logic devices, etc. Here we demonstrate an

Mechanical characterization of sequentially layered photo-clickable thiol-ene hydrogels

September 8, 2016
Author(s)
Aaron Aziz, Joseph Wahlquist, Aaron Sollner, Virginia L. Ferguson, Frank W. DelRio, Stephanie Bryant
Multi-layer hydrogels formed from crosslinked poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) have shown promise for applications in tissue engineering ranging from vasculature to musculoskeletal tissues. The objective of this work was to characterize the interface resulting

Networked Engineering Notebooks for Smart Manufacturing

September 8, 2016
Author(s)
Peter O. Denno
A goal of the industrial internet is to make information about manufacturing processes and resources available wherever decision making may be required. Agile use of information is a cornerstone of data analytics, but analytical methods more generally

Atom Probe Tomography Analysis of Ag Doping in 2D Layered Material (PbSe)5(Bi2Se3)3

September 7, 2016
Author(s)
Arunima Singh, Albert Davydov, Francesca M. Tavazza, Lincoln J. Lauhon, Xiaochen Ren, Mercouri G. Kanatzidis, Lei Fang
Impurity doping in two-dimensional (2D) materials can provide a route to tuning electronic properties, so it is important to be able to determine the distribution of dopant atoms within and between layers. Here we report the tomographic mapping of dopants

Depletion region surface effects in electron beam induced current measurements

September 7, 2016
Author(s)
Paul M. Haney, Heayoung Yoon, Benoit H. Gaury, Nikolai B. Zhitenev
Electron beam induced current (EBIC) is a powerful characterization technique which offers the high spatial resolution needed to study polycrystalline solar cells. Ideally, an EBIC measurement reflects the spatially resolved quantum efficiency of the

Entropy as a Service: Unlocking Cryptography's Full Potential

September 7, 2016
Author(s)
Apostol T. Vassilev, Robert L. Staples
Securing the Internet of Things (IoT) requires strong cryptography, which depends on the availability of good entropy for generating unpredictable keys and accurate clocks. Attacks abusing weak keys or old inputs portend challenges for IoT. EaaS is a novel
