A spin-wave Doppler technique is used to measure the spin-transfer velocity and the current polarization in current-carrying (Ni80Fe20)1-xGdx alloy wires. Reduced magnetization values with Gd doping suggest possible increases in the spin-transfer velocity
The invariant torus of a coupled system of Van der Pol oscillators is approximated using bicubic B-splines. The paper considers the case of strong nonlinear coupling. In particular, the shapes of invariant torii for the Van der Pol coupling parameter $

The optical extinction coefficients of post-flame soot have been measured in the wavelength range 2.8 micrometers to 4.1 micrometers. A laminar diffusion burner was combined with an infrared spectrograph and gravimetric measurements to determine the mass
Scientists in the Crystallography Section at NIST/NBS made several outstanidng contributions greatly influencing the development and advancement of high pressure x-ray crystallography during the second-half of the 20th century. These milestone achievements
… Low-energy [(20-500)-eV] spin-polarized electrons were used to probe the … made with scattering from the magnetic glass Fe 40 Ni 40 B 20 and an iron single crystal. Surface hysteresis curves as …
To replace the ageing reactor at the NIST Center for Neutron Research, a new reactor design is proposed, namely the NIST Neutron Source or NNS. The NNS will contain a light-water moderated and cooled core that would serve as a neutron source for a state-of

Here we present conclusive proof that when using electrical impedance to measure volumetric flow rate in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchannels a considerable fraction of the change in impedance, due to change in flow rate, is caused by the variation in
Accurate prediction of the energy consumption is critical for energy-efficient production systems. However, the majority of the existing prediction models aim at providing only point predictions and can be affected by the uncertainties in the model

This paper presents an application of micro glass blowing, in which multiple glass spheres are simultaneously shaped on top of a silicon wafer and subsequently filled with rubidium. The fabrication process is based on etching cavities in silicon, followed
The United States Government as well as the industrial controls sector has come to realize that securing computer systems that control industrial production and distribution is vital to the protection of key components of its critical infrastructure and
