Micro-Mirror Array Control of Optical Tweezer Trapping Beams

August 28, 2002
Author(s)
Nicholas Dagalakis, Thomas W. LeBrun, J Lippiatt
The efficiency of optical tweezer manufacturing depends on the number of trapping beams available. Micro optics technology offers the opportunity to significantly increase the number of trapping beams without a significant increase of the cost or size of

Structure Formation in Micro-Confined Polymeric Emulsions

August 1, 2002
Author(s)
Jai A. Pathak, Steven D. Hudson, Kalman D. Migler
Application of a shear field to a concentrated emulsion induces a complex spatial and temporal response. The behavior of a concentrated system is treated as an extrapolation of the well-understood behavior of isolated droplets (or of the behavior of two

The Impact-Echo Method: An Overview

May 1, 2001
Author(s)
Nicholas J. Carino
The impact-echo method is a technique for flaw detection in concrete. It is based on monitoring the surface motion resulting from a short-duration mechanical impact. The method overcomes many of the barriers associated with flaw detection in concrete based

Acoustic Methods for Transport Properties Measurements in Gases

June 1, 1998
Author(s)
Keith A. Gillis, J B. Mehl, Michael R. Moldover
Two novel acoustic resonators have been developed, one for measuring the viscosity and a second for measuring the Prandtl number of gases. For viscosity measurements, we use a double Helmholtz resonator called the Greenspan viscometer. The Greenspan

Off-stoichiometric semiconductors Cu1.33+xZn1.33-xIn1.33Se4 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3): Synthesis, structure, and thermal and electrical properties

January 12, 2021
Author(s)
Alzahrani Noha, Hagen Poddig, Hsin Wang, Joshua Martin, Wencong Shi, Lilia M. Woods, George S. Nolas
The synthesis, structure, and temperature dependent thermal and electrical properties of off-stoichiometric polycrystalline modified zinc blende quaternary chalcogenides Cu1.33+xZn1.33-xIn1.33Se4, where x ​= ​0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3, are investigated

Quantum receiver for large alphabet communication

February 21, 2018
Author(s)
Sergey Polyakov, Ivan Burenkov, Olga Tikhonova
Quantum mechanics allows measurements that surpass the fundamental sensitivity limits of classical methods. To benefit from the quantum advantage in a practical setting, the receiver should use communication channel resources optimally; this can be done

Chapter 9. Radio frequency scanning probe measurements of materials

September 17, 2017
Author(s)
Thomas M. Wallis, Pavel Kabos
Preceding chapters have described the near field scanning microwave microscope (NSMM), while discussing both the underlying theory of operation and practical considerations for instrumentation. A primary application area for NSMMs and related microscopes

Color Quality (book chapter)

Assessing Effects of Asymmetries, Dynamics, and Failures on a Cloud Simulator

March 29, 2015
Author(s)
Kevin L. Mills, James J. Filliben, Christopher E. Dabrowski
We characterize the effects of asymmetries, dynamics, and failures when introduced into a cloud computing simulator, which had previously been characterized under static, homogeneous configurations with various patterns of demand and supply. We aim to

The Pan-STARRS1 Photometric System

May 10, 2012
Author(s)
J. L. Tonry, Christopher W. Stubbs, Keith R. Lykke, Peter Doherty, I. S. Shivvers, W. S. Burgett, K. C. Chambers, K. W. Hodapp, N. Kaiser, R -. Kudritzki, E. A. Magnier, J. S. Morgan, P. A. Price, R. J. Wainscoat
The Pan-STARRS1 survey is collecting multi-epoch, multi-color observations of the sky north of declination −30 to unprecedented depths. These data are being photometrically and astrometrically calibrated and will serve as a reference for many other

High-stability transfer of an optical frequency over long fiber-optic links

August 1, 2008
Author(s)
Paul A. Williams, William C. Swann, Nathan R. Newbury
We present theoretical predictions and experimental measurements for the achievable phase noise, timing jitter, and frequency stability in the coherent transport of an optical frequency over a fiber-optic link. Both technical and fundamental limitations to

NIST Program to Support Testing and Evaluation of Trace Explosive Detection

October 1, 2007
Author(s)
R M. Verkouteren, John G. Gillen, Jennifer R. Verkouteren, Robert A. Fletcher, Eric S. Windsor, Wayne Smith
Trace detection is a primary strategy for thwarting terrorism activities in the US and abroad. The development of effective reference materials and methods for this purpose relies on fundamental knowledge regarding the size, mass, morphologies, and

Form of Deprotection in Chemically Amplified Resists

September 1, 2003
Author(s)
Ronald L. Jones, T J. Hu, Vivek M. Prabhu, Christopher L. Soles, Eric K. Lin, Wen-Li Wu, D L. Goldfarb, M Angelopoulos
The push to mass production of patterns with sub-100 nm dimensions will require nanometer level control of feature size, including line edge roughness (LER). Control of LER and sidewall roughness within the length scale of individual molecules requires a

Electron Collision Cross Sections Derived from Critically Assessed Data

July 1, 1999
Author(s)
Loucas G. Christophorou, James K. Olthoff
Electron-molecule collisions are among the most fundamental processes in gas discharges. They are also the precursors of the ions and the radicals which drive the etch, cleaning, or deposition processes in plasma reactors. Hence, there is a need for a

Electron Collision Data for Plasma-Processing Gases

October 1, 2000
