Representing Egress Behaviour in Engineering Terms

June 16, 2010
Author(s)
Steve M. Gwynne, Erica D. Kuligowski, Daniel Nilsson
When using engineering tools to calculate RSET, the engineer must have sufficient expertise to identify actual human factors that will influence the outcome of an evacuation in a particular situation. The engineer must then represent these factors in the

The coefficient of thermal expansion of highly enriched 28Si

October 1, 2009
Author(s)
Ernest G. Kessler Jr., Guido Bartl, Arnold Nicolaus, Rene Schodel, Peter Becker
For the new definition of the SI-unit mass based on a fundamental constant, a redetermination of Avogadro s constant is the goal of an international collaboration of numerous national laboratories and universities. Since a relative uncertainty of about 2

Trapped-Ion Quantum Logic Gates Based on Oscillating Magnetic Fields

August 29, 2008
Author(s)
Christian Ospelkaus, Christopher Langer, Jason Amini, Kenton R. Brown, Dietrich G. Leibfried, David J. Wineland
Oscillating magnetic fields and field gradients can be used to implement single-qubit rotations and entangling multi-qubit quantum gates for trapped-ion quantum information processing (QIP). With fields generated by currents in microfabricated surface

Coherent transfer of an optical carrier over 251 km

October 15, 2007
Author(s)
Nathan R. Newbury, Paul A. Williams, William C. Swann
We transfer of an optical frequency over 251 km of optical fiber with a residual instability of 6×10 -19 at 100 s. This instability and the associated timing jitter are limited fundamentally by the noise on the optical fiber and link length. We give a

Effect of Photoacid Generator Concentration and Developer Strength on the Patterning Capabilities of a Model EUV Photoresist

February 25, 2007
Author(s)
Kwang-Woo Choi, Vivek Prabhu, Kristopher Lavery, Eric K. Lin, Wen-Li Wu, John T. Woodward IV, Michael Leeson, H Cao, Manish Chandhok, George Thompson
Current extreme ultraviolet (EUV) photoresist materials do not yet meet requirements on exposure-dose sensitivity, line-width roughness (LWR), and resolution. Fundamental studies are required to quantify the trade-offs in materials properties and

Improvement in the Low Energy Collection Efficiency of Si(Li) X-Ray Detectors

April 7, 2005
Author(s)
C E. Cox, Daniel A. Fischer, W G. Schwarz, Y Song
Soft X-ray beam-line applications are of fundamental importance to material research, and commonly employ high-resolution Si(Li) detectors for Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy. However, the measurement of X-rays below 1 keV compromised by absorption in the

Non-Linear Charge Transport in Polythiophene Under High AC Field

January 1, 2005
Author(s)
Jan Obrzut, Tatiana Psurek, C. K. Chiang, Dean DeLongchamp
Complex impedance and conductivity were measured for regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) at alternating current (AC) voltages using a waveform technique. The waveforms were Fourier transformed from time domain to frequency domain and analyzed at

The Cesium Physics Package Design for the PARCS Experiment

August 23, 2004
Author(s)
Eric A. Burt, William Klipstein, Steven R. Jefferts
The Primary Atomic Reference Clock in Space (PARCS) is a collaboration between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and the University of Colorado to build a laser-cooled cesium-beam atomic clock as

Material Modeling and Experimental Study of Serrated Chip Morphology

April 1, 2004
Author(s)
T Mabrouki, Laurent Deshayes, J F. Rigal, Kevin K. Jurrens, Robert W. Ivester
Machining chip morphology stems from mechanical, thermal, and chemical phenomena. Chip morphology prediction depends on a fundamental understanding of these phenomena and is industrially important for cutting force prediction and surface integrity control

Nitrogen-Activated Bowing of Dilute In y Ga 1-y As 1- x N x Based on Photoreflectance Studies

December 1, 2003
Author(s)
M M. Fahmi, A Kahn, J A. Griffin, G L. Harris, Larry Robins, Anthony G. Birdwell, Youn S. Kang, D J. Smith, T Steiner, S N. Mohammad
The dependence of the fundamental band gap and higher-lying critical-point energies of dilute-nitrogen Ga 1-yIn yAs 1-xN x epilayers on nitrogen mole fraction (x), for x less than or equal to} 0.0125, and temperature, from 20 K to 295 K, was investigated

High-Throughput Measurements of Polymer Adhesion and Mechanical Properties

Polymer adhesion is important to numerous technologies including electronic packaging, coatings and paints, biomedical implants, and pressure-sensitive adhesives. The challenge is to understand the fundamental driving forces for the development of adhesive

Polyelectrolyte Effects in Model Photoresist Developer Solutions

August 1, 2003
Author(s)
Vivek M. Prabhu, Ronald L. Jones, Eric K. Lin, Wen-Li Wu
We demonstrate that the industrially relevant deprotected photoresist poly(4-hydroxy styrene) is a polyelectrolyte when dissolved in aqueous base solutions. These findings demonstrate the well-known monomer-monomer correlations indicative of

B C. Baker, Thomas P. Moffat, Daniel Josell, Daniel Wheeler
Successful superfilling of lines and vias will be shown with a commercial, silver-cyanide electrolyte. Hysteretic i-V behavior and chronoamperometric transients on planar electrodes are used to extract parameters that quantify the kinetics of the

Towards Near Perfect Crystals With Only Well-Characterized Imperfections
