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

High Effeciency Fast Scintillators for the Development of Optical Soft X-Ray Arrays for Laboratory Plasma Diagnostics

August 20, 2007
Author(s)
L F. Delgado-Aparicio, R Vero, D Stutman, M Finkenthal, K Tritz, G Suliman, H W. Moos, R Kaita, R Majeski, B Stratton, L Roquemore, D Johnson, Charles Tarrio
Scintillator-based optical soft x-ray (OSXR) arrays may in the near future, replace the conventional diode arrays used for plasma imaging, tomographic reconstruction, magnetohydrodynamics, transport and turbulence studies in magnetically confined fusion

Micropatterning Neuronal Cells on Polyelectrolyte Multilayers

July 7, 2004
Author(s)
Darwin Reyes-Hernandez, Elizabeth M. Perruccio, Patricia Becerra, Laurie E. Locascio, Michael Gaitan
This paper describes an approach to adhere retinal cells on micropatterned polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) lines adsorbed on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surfaces, using microfluidic networks. PEMs were patterned on flat oxidized PDMS surfaces by

Finite Element Simulation of Straight Plunge Grinding for Advanced Ceramics

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
Tze J. Chuang, S Jahanmir, Hai C. Tang
The objective of this work is to model the grinding forces and the associated stress and deformation fields generated in a ceramic workpiece during surface plunge grinding. A two-dimensional finite element model is constructed with the grinding parameters

Role of Flaw Statistics in Contact Fracture of Brittle Coatings

October 1, 2001
Author(s)
P Miranda, Antonia Pajares, F Guiberteau, F Cumbrera, Brian R. Lawn
A flaw statistics analysis is here developed to account for systematic differences between experimentally observed and theoretically predicted critical loads for the initiation of contact-induced radial cracks in brittle coatings on compliant substrates
