Simulating Quantum Magnetism with Correlated Non-Neutral Ion Plasmas

August 27, 2012
Author(s)
John J. Bollinger, Joseph W. Britton, Brian C. Sawyer
By employing forces which depend on the internal atomic state (or spin) of an atomic ion, the Coulomb potential energy of a strongly coupled array of ions can be modified in a spin-dependent way to mimic effective quantum spin Hamiltonians. Both

The TriTon Transformation

August 27, 2012
Author(s)
Daniel C. Smith-Tone
Many new systems have been proposed which hide an easily invertible multivariate quadratic map in a larger structure by adding more variables and introducing some mixing of a random component to the structured system. While many systems which have been

Vertically Segregated Structure and Properties of small molecule-polymer blend semiconductors for organic thin film transistors

Esther Baumann, Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, Ian R. Coddington, Kevin O. Knabe, Laura C. Sinclair, William C. Swann, Nathan R. Newbury
A frequency-comb and MEMS-based external-cavity laser are integrated into a THz-bandwidth LIDAR system. Range to a diffuse target is measured at sub-msec update times, a comb-based precision/accuracy of 100 nm, and a resolution of 150 microns. Example 3D

Coherent Diabatic Ion Transport and Separation in a Multizone Trap Array

August 24, 2012
Author(s)
Ryan S. Bowler, John P. Gaebler, Yiheng Lin, Ting Rei Tan, David Hanneke, John D. Jost, J. Home, Dietrich G. Leibfried, David J. Wineland
We investigate ion motion dynamics during the transport between and separation into spatially distinct trap locations in a multi-zone trap array. We laser-cool a single $\ensuremath{^{9}{\rm {Be}^{+}}}$ ion held in a linear Paul trap to near its ground

Microwave Measurements and Systematic Circuit-Model Extraction of Nanowire Metal Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors

August 24, 2012
Author(s)
Dazhen Gu, Thomas M. Wallis, Pavel Kabos, Paul T. Blanchard, Kristine A. Bertness, Norman A. Sanford
We present detailed on-wafer scattering parameter measurements and equivalent circuit modeling of metal semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET) that incorporates a GaN nanowire (NW). A systematic procedure is established to extract intrinsic model

Recommendation for Applications Using Approved Hash Algorithms

August 24, 2012
Author(s)
Quynh H. Dang
Hash functions that compute a fixed-length message digest from arbitrary length messages are widely used for many purposes in information security. This document provides security guidelines for achieving the required or desired security strengths when

A high-bandwidth electromagnetic MEMS motion stage for scanning applications

August 23, 2012
Author(s)
Young M. Choi, Nicholas G. Dagalakis, Jason J. Gorman, Seung Ho Yang, Yong Sik Kim, Jae M. Yoo
This paper presents the design, fabrication and experimental results of an out-of-plane electromagnetic motion stage. The combination of electromagnetic actuation and a flexure-supported platform enables bidirectional motion with high precision as well as

New International Formulation for the Thermal Conductivity of H2O

August 23, 2012
Author(s)
Marcia L. Huber, Richard A. Perkins, Daniel G. Friend, Jan V. Sengers, Marc J. Assael, Ifigenia N. Metaxa, Kiyoshi Miyagawa, Robert Hellmann, Eckhard Vogel
The International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS) encouraged an extensive research effort to update the IAPS Formulation 1985 for the Thermal Conductivity of Ordinary Water Substance, leading to the adoption of a Release on the

MEMS-based universal fatigue test technique

August 22, 2012
Author(s)
Li-Anne Liew, David T. Read, Nicholas Barbosa
We have developed a MEMS (micro electro mechanical systems) -based method for fatigue testing of micro- to millimeter-sized specimens of any material (hence ‘universal’). The miniature, re- usable, stand-alone fatigue test frame is fabricated as a single

Kinematic Modeling and Calibration of a Flexure Based Hexapod Nanopositioner

August 21, 2012
Author(s)
Hongliang Shi, Hai-Jun Su, Nicholas Dagalakis, John A. Kramar
This paper covers the kinematic modeling of a flexure-based, hexapod nanopositioner and a new method of calibration for this type of nanopositioner. This six degrees of freedom tri-stage nanopositioner can generate small displacement, high-resolution

Andrew M. Herrero, Paul T. Blanchard, Aric W. Sanders, Matthew D. Brubaker, Norman A. Sanford, Alexana Roshko, Kristine A. Bertness
The development of Ni/Au contacts to Mg-doped GaN nanowires (NWs) is examined. Current-voltage (I-V) measurements of these Mg-doped nanowire devices frequently exhibit a strong degradation after annealing in N 2/O 2. This degradation originates from the
