Atomic Scale Defects Associated with the Negative Bias Temperature Instability

January 1, 2014
Author(s)
Jason P. Campbell, P. M. Lenahan
We utilize magnetic resonance measurements to identify the fundamental atomic-scale defect structures involved in the negative bias temperature instability. In gate stacks composed of pure silicon dioxide, we find a degradation mechanism directly involving

Nanomechanical standards based on the intrinsic mechanics of molecules and atoms

June 7, 2010
Author(s)
Jon R. Pratt, Gordon A. Shaw, Douglas T. Smith
For more than a decade, instruments based on local probes have allowed us to touch objects at the nanoscale, making it possible for scientists and engineers to probe the electrical, chemical, and physical behaviors of matter at the level of individual

Assignment, Fit, and Theoretical Discussion of the nu-10 Band of Acetaldehyde Near 509 cm -1

September 4, 2008
Author(s)
I Kleiner, N Moazzen-Ahmadi, A R. McKellar, Thomas A. Blake, G Moruzzi, Jon T. Hougen
The lowest small-amplitude vibration in acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) is the in-plane aldehyde scissors mode ?10 at 509 cm?1. This mode lies about 100 cm?1 above the top of the barrier to internal rotation of the methyl group and is relatively well separated from

Report of the Workshop on Reliability Issues in Nanomaterials

January 1, 2007
Author(s)
Robert Keller, David T. Read, Roop L. Mahajan
The Workshop on Reliability Issues in Nanomaterials was held at the Boulder Laboratories of the U. S. Department of Commerce on August 17-19, 2004. It was organized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and was designed to promote a

Assessment of intra-build variations in tensile strength in electron beam powder-bed fusion Ti-6Al-4V part 1: Effects of build height

June 2, 2022
Author(s)
Nicholas Derimow, Alejandro Romero, Aldo Rubio, Cesar Terrazas, Newell Moser, Orion Kafka, Jake Benzing, Francisco Medina, Ryan Wicker, Nik Hrabe
In this work, rectangular blocks of electron beam powder-bed fusion (PBF-EB) additively manufactured (AM) Ti-6Al-4V were built, such that a total of 68 mini-tensile test coupons could be extracted for mechanical testing over a range of build height and

Embedding a Rydberg Atom-Based Sensor into an Antenna for Phase and Amplitude Detection of Radio Frequency Fields and Modulated Signals

October 22, 2019
Author(s)
Christopher L. Holloway, Matthew T. Simons, Abdulaziz H. Haddab, Joshua A. Gordon, David R. Novotny
We demonstrate a Rydberg atom-based sensor embedded in a parallel-plate waveguide (PPWG) for amplitude and phase detection of a radio-frequency (RF) electric field. This embedded atomic sensor is also capable of receiving modulated communications signals

Elastic residual strain and stress measurements and corresponding part deflections of 3D AM builds of IN625 AM-Bench artifacts using neutron diffraction, synchrotron X-ray diffraction, and contour method

July 29, 2019
Author(s)
Thien Q. Phan, Maria Strantza, Michael R. Hill, Thomas H. Gnaupel-Herold, Jarred C. Heigel, Christopher D'Elia, DeWald Adrian, Bjorn Clausen, Darren C. Pagan, J. Y. Peter Ko, Donald W. Brown, Lyle E. Levine
One of the primary barriers for acceptance of additive manufacturing (AM) has been the uncertainty in the performance of AM parts due to residual stresses/strains. The rapid heating and cooling rates, along with the thermal history of the laser melting

High x-ray resolving power (up to 4000) utilizing asymmetric diffraction from a quartz transmission crystal measured in the 6 keV to 22 keV energy range

June 27, 2019
Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, John F. Seely, Eric Galtier, Uri Feldman, Albert Henins
A Cauchois type spectrometer utilizing the (203) lattice planes at an oblique angle of 11.53o to the surface of a quartz transmission crystal recorded the Kα and Kβ spectral lines of six elements from Fe to Ag in the 6 keV to 22 keV energy range from a

Free Space Microwave Non Destructive Characterization of Composite Materials

May 4, 2015
Author(s)
Jan Obrzut, Ahmed M. Hassan, Edward J. Garboczi
We present a free-space microwave experimental measurement system for the non-destructive testing of composite materials. The system operates in the Q- frequency band of 30 GHz to 50 GHz with fixed wave propagation distance between free-space antennas

Non-imaging Winston Cone Concentrators for Submillimeter-wave, Overmoded Waveguide

January 1, 2014
Author(s)
Erich N. Grossman, Oscar D. Friedman, Andrew O. Nelson
We describe the design, simulation, and measured performance of concentrators designed to couple submillimeter wavelength radiation from free space into highly overmoded, rectangular, WR-10 waveguide. They consist of a combination of a Winston cone, (also

Monolayer Formation of PBLG-PEO Block Copolymers at the Air-Water Interface

November 11, 2004
Author(s)
Y Park, Y W. Choi, SK Park, C S. Cho, Michael J. Fasolka, Daeson Sohn
Physicochemical properties of PBLG (poly(gamma-benzyl-L-glutamate))-PEO (poly(ethylene oxide)) diblock copolymers composed of PBLG as the hydrophobic rod component and PEO as the hydrophilic component were investigated at the air-water interface. Surface

Techniques for Primary Acoustic Thermometry to 800 K

September 1, 2003
Author(s)
Dean C. Ripple, Dana R. Defibaugh, Michael R. Moldover, Gregory F. Strouse
The NIST Primary Acoustic Thermometer will measure the difference between the International TemperatureScale of 1990 and the Kelvin Thermodynamic Scale throughout the range 273 K to 800 K with uncertainties of only afew millikelvins. The acoustic

Acoustic Emission of Structural Materials Exposed to Open Flames

December 1, 1992
Author(s)
William L. Grosshandler, M A. Jackson
The use of acoustic emission (AE) as an early indicator of structural materials exposed to a flame has been investigated and found to be possible. Piezoelectric transducers have been mounted directly on 0.5 m long, simply supported beams of aluminum
