Multiparameter Equations of State for Selected Siloxanes

April 25, 2006
Author(s)
P. Colonna, R. Nannan, A. Guardone, Eric Lemmon
The development of technical equations of state using the 12-parameter Span-Wagner functional form for four siloxanes is presented in two parts. The fluids under investigation include hexamethyldisiloxane (MM), tetradecamethylhexasiloxane (MD4M)

On the 60 mV/dec @300 K Limit for MOSFET Subthreshold Swing

April 26, 2010
Author(s)
Kin P. Cheung
The 60 mV/dec limit for subthreshold swing at 300K is generally considered a fundamental limit that cannot be defeated. The physical origin of this limit is revisited in this paper and the fact that this limit is in part determined by the density-ofstates

… by Petek and coworkers, a retrospective look at some fundamentals in the theory of ionic alkali adsorption on …

A Microelectromechanically Controlled Cavity Optomechanical Sensing System

July 17, 2012
Author(s)
Houxun H. Miao, Kartik A. Srinivasan, Vladimir A. Aksyuk
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have been applied to many measurement problems in physics, chemistry, biology and medicine. In parallel, cavity optomechanical systems have achieved quantum-limited displacement sensitivity and ground state cooling of

Phase noise suppression in frequency comb generators

June 2, 2010
Author(s)
Craig W. Nelson, Archita Hati, J F. Nava-garcia, David A. Howe
We propose an idea to suppress the flicker (1/f) noise in radio frequency (RF) multiplier based frequency comb generators. Comb generators are often used for frequency multiplication in frequency synthesis. In general, comb generators apply high power to a

The Ampere and Electrical Standards

January 1, 2001
Author(s)
Randolph Elmquist, Marvin E. Cage, Yi-hua D. Tang, Anne-Marie Jeffery, Joseph R. Kinard Jr., Ronald F. Dziuba, Nile M. Oldham, Edwin R. Williams
This paper describes some of the major contributions to metrology and physics made by the NIST Electricity Division, which has existed since 1901. It was one of the six original divisions of the National Bureau of Standards. The Electricity Division

A Comparative Study of CMM Flat-Surface Inspection Plans

July 1, 1992
Author(s)
J Hsu, T Hsu, James J. Filliben, Ted Hopp
This document reports on the findings from a collaborative effort by J. P. Hsu of the University of Texas at El Paso, T. W. Hsu (also of the same affiliation), James J. Filliben of the Statistical Engineering Division of the National Institute of Standards

Measuring the permittivity tensor of anisotropic DyScO3 to 110 GHz

August 14, 2023
Author(s)
Florian Bergmann, Meagan Papac, Nick Jungwirth, Bryan Bosworth, Tomasz Karpisz, Anna Osella, Lucas Enright, Eric Marksz, Angela Stelson, Chris Long, Nate Orloff
DyScO3 (DSO) is an attractive substrate on which to grow epitaxial thin films with extraordinary materials physics. However, its highly anisotropic permittivity makes some measurements exceedingly difficult: For instance, its permittivity tensor has not

NIST Spectroscopic Measurement Standards

May 1, 2018
Author(s)
Paul C. DeRose, Kenneth D. Cole, Aaron Urbas, Steven J. Choquette, Evelyn Solis, Erica V. Stein, John E. Schiel, Brian Lang, Hua-Jun He
Ultraviolet (UV) absorbance measurements provide a rapid and reliable method to determine protein concentrations. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed Standard Reference Material (SRM) 2082as a pathlength standard for UV

Finite element modeling of structural steel component failure at elevated temperatures

March 12, 2016
Author(s)
Mina S. Seif, Joseph A. Main, Jonathan M. Weigand, Therese P. McAllister, William E. Luecke
A key issue in evaluating the response of structural systems to fire effects is the representation of material behavior at elevated temperatures. In addition to stress-strain behavior, modeling of fracture is required to capture failure modes such as tear

Quantitative scheme for full-field polarization rotating fluorescence microscopy (PROM) using a liquid crystal variable retarder

May 14, 2015
Author(s)
John F. Lesoine, Ji Y. Lee, Hyeong G. Kang, Matthew L. Clarke, Robert C. Chang, Ralph Nossal, Jeeseong C. Hwang
We introduce real-time, full-field, polarization rotating fluorescence microscopy (PROM) to monitor the absorption dipole orientations of fluorescent molecules. A quarter-wave plate, in combination with a liquid crystal variable retarder (LCVR), provides a

Performance Evaluation Experiments on a Laser Spot Triangulation Probe

November 25, 2011
Author(s)
Balasubramanian Muralikrishnan, Wei Ren, Dennis S. Everett, Eric S. Stanfield, Theodore D. Doiron
Laser triangulation probes are increasingly used for dimensional measurements in a variety of applications. At the National Institute of Standards and Technology, we have recently explored the use of laser spot triangulation probes to determine dimensional

Reflectivity Study of Microwave Blackbody Targets

September 1, 2011
Author(s)
Dazhen Gu, Derek A. Houtz, James P. Randa, Dave K. Walker
We report on the characterization of blackbody target reflections as part of the recent progress on the development of brightness temperature standards for microwave remote sensing at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The very low

NIST Reference Material Scaffolds Characterized for Cell Response

April 24, 2011
Author(s)
Carl G. Simon Jr., Jeff M. Coles
Reference scaffolds characterized for cell response are being developed for use as a standard for biological characterization of new scaffolds. The need for reference scaffolds to serve as a calibration standard between labs has been identified as critical

Real-time polarization microscopy for probing local distributions of biomolecules

February 28, 2011
Author(s)
Jeeseong Hwang, Ji Y. Lee, John F. Lesoine, Hyeong G. Kang, Matthew L. Clarke, Robert C. Chang
We present real-time, full-field, fluorescence polarization microscopy and its calibration and validation methods to monitor the absorption dipole orientation of fluorescent molecules. A quarter-wave plate, in combination with a liquid crystal variable

Fracture of Ceramic/Ceramic/Polymer Trilayers for Biomechanical Applications
