Comparative Apex Electrostatics of Atom Probe Tomography Specimens

April 28, 2021
Author(s)
Qihua Zhang, B. Klein, Norman A. Sanford, Ann Chiaramonti Debay
Laser-assisted atom probe tomography (APT) is the only known analytical method that can simultaneously provide sub-nm 3D spatial resolution and quantitative sensitivity approaching 1 ppm. APT has been applied with great success to the analysis of metals

PSCR 2020_5G Security Evolution not Revolution

October 29, 2020
Author(s)
Jeffrey A. Cichonski
5G has promised to change the way we communicate with an ambitious slate of capabilities not yet available in the 5G networks deployed today, but rather are still being developed and specified by 3GPP. To understand the security posture of 5G networks

Direct kerr-frequency comb atomic spectroscopy

February 28, 2020
Author(s)
Liron Stern, Jordan R. Stone, Songbai Kang, Daniel C. Cole, Zachary L. Newman, Kerry Vahala
Microresonator-based soliton frequency combs- microcombs -have recently emerged to offer low- noise, photonic-chip sources for optical measurements. Owing to nonlinear-optical physics, microcombs can be built with various materials 1-3 and tuned or

Intricate Resonant Raman Response in Anisotropic ReS2

August 18, 2017
Author(s)
Amber McCreary, Jeffrey R. Simpson, Yuanxi Wang, Daniel Rhodes, Kazunori Fujisawa, Luis Balicas, Madan Dubey, Vincent H. Crespi, M. Terrones, Angela R. Hight Walker
Rhenium disulfide is an exciting material due to its strong in-plane anisotropy, thus offering an additional physical parameter that can be tuned for advanced applications. ReS2 provides a major advantage for optoelectronics as it is both stable in air and

Cannabinoid Vapor Pressures to Aid in Vapor Phase Detection of Intoxication

June 27, 2017
Author(s)
Tara Lovestead, Thomas J. Bruno
The quest for a reliable means to detect cannabis intoxication with a br eathalyzer is ongoing. In order to design such a device, it is important to understand the basic fundamental thermodynamics of the compounds of interest. Herein, the vapor pressures

Assessing the wavelength extensibility of optical patterned defect inspection

March 29, 2017
Author(s)
Bryan Barnes, Hui Zhou, Mark-Alexander Henn, Martin Sohn, Richard M. Silver
Qualitative comparisons have been made in the literature between the scattering off deep- subwavelength-sized defects and the scattering off spheres in free space to illustrate the challenges of optical defect inspection with decreasing patterning sizes

Entropy Theory of Polymer Glass-Formation in Variable Spatial Dimension

December 20, 2016
Author(s)
Jack F. Douglas, Wensheng Xu, Karl Freed
The importance of packing frustration is broadly appreciated to be an important aspect of glass formation. Recently, great interest has focused on probing the dependence on spatial dimension d as a theoretical tool for exploring essential aspects of glass

Effect of oxygen pressure on structure and ionic conductivity of epitaxial Li0.33La0.55TiO3 solid electrolyte thin films produced by pulsed laser deposition

December 16, 2016
Author(s)
Leonid A. Bendersky, Bharathi Kamala, Haiyan Tan, Saya Takeuchi, Haoting Shen, Jongmoon Shin, I. Takeuchi
We report on the ionic conductivity and the effect of oxygen partial pressure during the growth of Li0.33La0.55TiO3 (LLTO) epitaxial films grown on SrTiO3 (STO) (100) and (111) substrates and explore some distinct conductivity behavior. The films are
