Diffractive Optics From Self-Assembled DNA

August 1, 2002
Author(s)
Zachary H. Levine
An algorithm is presented for assembling tiles into a variable spaced grating, the one-dimensional analogue of Fresnel zone plate. The algorithm supports blazing. The x-ray properties of such a grating, assumed to be constructed form DNA are estimated

A versatile bilayer resist for laser lithography at 405 nm on glass substrates

October 23, 2013
Author(s)
Quandou (. Wang, Ulf Griesmann
We describe a simple bilayer photoresist that is particularly well suited for laser lithography at an exposure wavelength of 405 nm on glass substrates, which is often used for the fabrication of binary diffractive optics and computer generated holograms

New Connections for Enhancing Robustness of Precast Concrete Frame Structures

February 24, 2018
Author(s)
Travis E. Thonstad, Yihai Bao, Jonathan M. Weigand, Joseph A. Main, Hai S. Lew
A recent experimental and computational study of two precast concrete moment-frame assemblies under a column removal scenario revealed vulnerabilities in the moment connections arising from (a) local bending of reinforcing bars due eccentricity in the

A Novel CMM Interim Testing Artifact

January 1, 1994
Author(s)
Steven D. Phillips, Bruce R. Borchardt, Gregory W. Caskey, David E. Ward, Bryon S. Faust, Daniel S. Sawyer
NIST is currently developing equipment and techniques to rapidly access the performance of Coordinate Measuring machines (CMMs). This will allow the frequent testing of CMMs to insure that they measure parts accurately. A novel interim testing artifact

In Search of Better Pressure Standards

August 1, 2014
Author(s)
Jay H. Hendricks, Jacob E. Ricker, Patrick F. Egan, Gregory F. Strouse
Based on highly accurate optical interferometry and fundamental quantum calculations, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the US are developing an improved definition of the SI unit for pressure that will consign the

Absolute energies and emission line shapes of the x-ray lines of lanthanide metals

February 1, 2021
Author(s)
Joseph Fowler, Galen O'Neil, Bradley K. Alpert, Douglas Bennett, Edward V. Denison, William Doriese, Gene Hilton, Lawrence T. Hudson, Young I. Joe, Kelsey Morgan, Daniel Schmidt, Daniel Swetz, Csilla I. Szabo-Foster, Joel Ullom
We use an array of transition-edge sensors, cryogenic microcalorimeters with 4 eV energy resolution, to measure the x-ray emission-line profiles of four elements of the lanthanide series: praseodymium, neodymium, terbium, and holmium. The spectrometer also

Precision measurement of the radiative beta decay of the free neutron

June 30, 2017
Author(s)
Christopher D. Bass, Maynard S. Dewey, Thomas R. Gentile, Hans Pieter Mumm, Alan Keith Thompson, M J. Bales, R. Alarcon, E J. Beise, H Breuer, Jim Byrne, T E. Chupp, Kevin Coakley, R L. Cooper, B. O'Neill, F E. Wietfeldt
The theory of quantum electrodynamics predicts that a continuous spectrum of photons is emitted in the beta decay of the free neutron in addition to a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino. We report the first precision test of the shape of the photon
