Absolute spectroscopy of N2O near 4.5 um with a comb-calibrated, frequency-swept quantum cascade laser spectrometer

January 14, 2013
Author(s)
Kevin O. Knabe, Paul A. Williams, Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, Michael Radunsky, Chris Armacost, Sam Crivello, Nathan R. Newbury
We present absolute line center frequencies for 24 fundamental nu-3 ro-vibrational P-branch transitions near 4.5 um in N2O with an absolute frequency uncertainty of 800 kHz. The spectra were acquired with a swept laser spectrometer consisting of an

SHREC12 Track: Generic 3D Shape Retrieval

May 13, 2012
Author(s)
Bo Li, Afzal A. Godil
Generic 3D shape retrieval is a fundamental research area in the field of content-based 3D model retrieval. The aim of this track is to measure and compare the performance of generic 3D shape retrieval methods implemented by different participants over the

Estimating Common Parameters in Heterogeneous Random Effects Models

April 13, 2011
Author(s)
Andrew L. Rukhin
A question of fundamental importance for meta-analysis of heterogeneous data studies is how to form a best consensus estimator of common parameters, and what uncertainty to attach to the estimate. This issue is addressed for a class of unbalanced linear

Observation of Quantum Destructive Interference in Inelastic Two-Wave Mixing

February 23, 2007
Author(s)
Kaijun Jiang, Lu Deng, Marvin G. Payne
Using room-temperature 87Rb atoms we demonstrate a quantum destructive interference between two one-photon excitation pathways in an inelastic two-wave mixing scheme that corresponds to the strong-storage and weak-regeneration regime. This destructive

Laser Transition Probabilities in Xe I

July 1, 2006
Author(s)
Abhijit Dasgupta, J P. Apruzes, O Zatsarinny, K Bartschat, Charlotte F. Fischer
The atomic xenon laser is among the most efficient and powerful of the near-infrared gas lasers, especiallywhen pumped by molecular ions in an Ar-Xe mixture. Accurate transition probabilities for the laser transitionsare critical in developing a

Charge Transport and Morphology in Conjugated Polymers

January 1, 2006
Author(s)
Regis J. Kline, Michael D. McGehee
Polymer semiconductors (conjugated polymers) open up new opportunities for devices and applications that could not be imagined with conventional silicon technology. Polymer semiconductors have much lower fabrication costs and can be deposited on flexible

Method for Estimating the Dielectirc Constant of Natural Gas Mixtures

January 11, 2005
Author(s)
Allan H. Harvey, Eric W. Lemmon
A method is developed for calculating the static dielectric constant (relative permittivity) of fluid mixtures, with an emphasis on natural gas. The dielectric constant is calculated as a function of temperature, density, and composition; the density is

Continuously Tunable Precise, Single Frequency Optical Signal Generator

June 1, 2002
Author(s)
J D. Jost, John L. Hall, Jun Ye
To realize a genuine CW optical frequency synthesizer, a continuously tunable single-frequency CW laser has been employed to track preciselyany arbitrary component of a wide bandwidth phase-stabilized optical comb. We dermnstrate in experiment two

Rockwell Hardness - A Method-Dependent Standards Reference Material

July 1, 1999
Author(s)
Samuel Low, R Gettings, Walter S. Liggett Jr, Jun-Feng Song
Rockwell hardness is a method-dependent measurement of the deformation of a material in response to an applied force. It is not a fundamental physical property of a material. There are no alternative measurement systems to directly or independently measure

Mass Metrology at NIST

April 23, 1997
Author(s)
Zeina J. Kubarych
The mission of the mass group of the Automated Production Technology Division at NIST is to maintain the mass unit, disseminate it to U.S. industry, government, and academia, and provide traceability to the International Prototype Kilogram. Efforts are

Quantum Projection Noise: Population Fluctuations in 2-Level Systems

January 1, 1993
Author(s)
Wayne M. Itano, James C. Bergquist, John J. Bollinger, J M. Gilligan, D J. Heinzen, F L. Moore, M G. Raizen, David J. Wineland
Measurements of internal energy states of atomic ions confined in traps can be used to illustrate fundamental properties of quantum systems, because long relaxation times and observation times are available. In the experiments described here, a single ion

Influence of solidification structure on austenite to martensite transformation in additively manufactured hot-work tool steels

August 15, 2021
Author(s)
Chia-Ying Chou, Niklas H. Pettersson, Durga A, Fan Zhang, Christos Oikonomou, Annika Borgenstam, Joakim Odqvist, Greta Lindwall
The microstructure of a hot-work tool steel additively manufactured using laser powder-bed fusion (L-PBF), and its response to post heat treatment, is studied in detail by microstructure characterization and computational thermodynamics and kinetics. The

Effects of Environmental Temperature and Humidity on the Geometry and Strength of Polycarbonate Specimens Prepared by Fused Filament Fabrication

October 3, 2020
Author(s)
Lichen Fang, Yan Yishu, Ojaswi Agarwal, shengyu Yao, Jonathan Seppala, Sung Hoon Kang
It is widely known that the printing quality of fused filament fabrication (FFF) is heavily affected by environmental temperature and humidity, as the case of warping and porosity. However, there is little understanding about the quantitative relations
