Optical Lattice Clocks

January 1, 2015
Author(s)
Andrew D. Ludlow, Christopher W. Oates
Here we introduce and give a basic description of optical lattice clocks. We also briefly describe recent advances in these atomic frequency standards, looking to future work and applications.

Particle-based simulation of nanoscale systems and materials

January 1, 2015
Author(s)
Alexander Y. Smolyanitsky, Vinod K. Tewary
This book chapter is focused on the introduction of molecular dynamics (MD) and molecular statics (MS), as well as some of their uses for studying the thermomechanical and (indirectly) electronic properties at the nanoscale. We first introduce the general

Rapid DNA melting analyses using a microfabricated electrochemical platform

January 1, 2015
Author(s)
Zuliang Shen, Stephen Semancik, Herman O. Sintim
A new microscale platform is reported which is based on microfabrication methods that integrate thermal control and multi-electrode components to enable rapid temperature-dependent electrochemical measurements on small volume fluid samples. We demonstrate

Atomic Clock with 1x10 -18 Room-Temperature Blackbody Stark Uncertainty

December 31, 2014
Author(s)
Kyle P. Beloy, Nathan M. Hinkley, Nate B. Phillips, Jeffrey A. Sherman, Marco Schioppo, John H. Lehman, Ari D. Feldman, Leonard M. Hanssen, Christopher W. Oates, Andrew D. Ludlow
The Stark shift due to blackbody radiation (BBR) is a key factor limiting the performance of many atomic frequency standards, with the BBR environment inside the clock apparatus being difficult to characterize at a high level of precision. Here we

Monitoring Techniques for the Net-Zero Energy Residential Test Facility

December 31, 2014
Author(s)
Mark W. Davis, William M. Healy, Matthew Boyd, Lisa Ng, William V. Payne, Harrison Skye, Tania Ullah
NIST has constructed a Net-Zero Energy Residential Test Facility that will be used as a testbed for investigating the measurement science related to systems, components, and operations that will lead to homes that generate as much energy over a course of a

New Ion Source for High Precision FIB Nanomachining and Circuit Edit

December 31, 2014
Author(s)
Adam V. Steele, Brenton Knuffman, Jabez J. McClelland
We present a review of the Low Temperature Ion Source (LoTIS): its aims, design, performance data collected to date, and focused spot size projections when integrated with a FIB. LoTIS provides a Cs+ beam that has been measured to have high brightness (>

Optical Properties of CdSe/ZnS Nanocrystals

December 31, 2014
Author(s)
Paul C. DeRose, Yu-Zhong Zhang, Adolfas Gaigalas
Measurements are presented of the absorbance, fluorescence emission, fluorescence quantum yield, and fluorescence lifetime of CdSe/ZnS nanocrystals, also known as quantum dots (QDs). The study included three groups of nanocrystals whose surfaces were

Quantitative, label-free characterization of stem cell differentiation at the single-cell level by broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy

December 31, 2014
Author(s)
Marcus T. Cicerone, Young J. Lee, Khaled A. Aamer, Prabhas V. Moghe, Sebastian L. Vega, Parth J. Patel
We use broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (BCARS) microscopy to characterize lineage commitment of individual human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) cultured in adipogenic, osteogenic, and basal culture media. We treat hyperspectral images
