Thermodynamic modelling of liquids: CALPHAD approaches and contributions from statistical physics

December 20, 2013
Author(s)
Chandler A. Becker, J Agren, Marcello Baricco, Qing Chen, Sergei A. Decterov, Ursula R. Kattner, John Perepezko, Gernot Pottlacher, Malin Selleby
Here we describe current approaches to modelling liquids in CALPHAD. available experimental methods and results, and considerations in the use of molecular simulation and first-principles methods in thermodynamic modelling of liquids. We examine the two

Current-induced torques and interfacial spin-orbit coupling

December 19, 2013
Author(s)
Kyung-Jin Lee, H.-W. Lee, Aurelien Manchon, Mark D. Stiles, Paul M. Haney
In bilayer systems consisting of an ultrathin ferromagnetic layer adjacent to a metal with strong spin-orbit coupling, an applied in-plane current induces torques on the magnetization. The torques that arise from spin-orbit coupling are of particular

Dissipative production of a maximally entangled steady state of two quantum bits

December 19, 2013
Author(s)
John P. Gaebler, Yiheng Lin, Florentin Reiter, Ting Rei Tan, Ryan S. Bowler, Anders Sorensen, Dietrich G. Leibfried, David J. Wineland
Entangled states are a key resource in fundamental quantum physics, quantum cryptography, and quantum computation [1]. To date, controlled unitary interactions applied to a quantum system, so-called "quantum gates'', have been the most widely used method

Microscopic investigation of Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube Uptake by Daphnia magna

December 18, 2013
Author(s)
Aaron Edgington, Elijah Petersen, Andrew Herzing, Apparao Rao, Stephen Klaine
The objectives of this study were to determine the absorption of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) across the gut epithelial cells in Daphnia magna and to determine if absorption was influenced by their surface functionalization. This project utilized

Picometer Metrology for Precise Measurement of Refractive Index, Pressure, and Temperature

December 18, 2013
Author(s)
Jack A. Stone Jr., Patrick F. Egan, Donavon Gerty, Jay H. Hendricks, Douglas A. Olson, Jacob E. Ricker, Gregory E. Scace, Gregory F. Strouse
Fabry-Perot interferometers can be used for very precise measurement of the refractive index of gasses. This can enable increased accuracy of interferometer-based length measurement. In addition, because the refractive index of a gas depends on its

Review of alternative cooling technologies

December 18, 2013
Author(s)
S J. Brown, Piotr A. Domanski
This paper considers the alternative cooling technologies studied by Fisher et al. (1994) and assesses their current performance and market potential in reference to vapor compression technology. First, a taxonomy of cooling technologies based on the main

The National Vulnerability Database (NVD): Overview

December 18, 2013
Author(s)
Harold Booth, Doug Rike, Gregory A. Witte
The National Vulnerability Database (NVD), and its companion, the National Checklist Program (NCP), have provided a valuable and flexible set of services to users around the world since NVD was established in 2005. The NVD was established to provide a U.S

Does Your SEM Really Tell the Truth? - How would you know? Part 1

December 16, 2013
Author(s)
Michael T. Postek, Andras Vladar
The scanning electron microscope (SEM) has gone through a tremendous evolution to become a critical tool for many and diverse scientific and industrial applications. The high resolution of the SEM is especially suited for both qualitative and quantitative
