The Geometric Characterization of Rockwell Diamond Indenters

January 1, 1994
Author(s)
Jun-Feng Song, F Rudder, Theodore V. Vorburger, A Hartman, Brian R. Scace, J Smith
By using a stylus instrument, a series of calibration and check standards, and calibration and uncertainty calculation procedures, we have calibrated Rockwell diamond indenters with a traceability to fundamental measurements. The combined measurement

Universal electronic synthesis by microresonator-soliton photomixing

May 13, 2025
Author(s)
Jizhao Zang, Travis Briles, Jesse Morgan, Andreas Beling, Scott Papp
Access to electrical signals across the millimeter-wave (mmW) and terahertz (THz) bands offers breakthroughs for high-performance applications. Despite generations of revolutionary development, integrated electronics are challenging to scale at 100-1000

Quantifying Uncertainties in Solvation Procedures for Modeling Aqueous Phase Reaction Mechanisms

January 4, 2021
Author(s)
Kathleen Schwarz, Alex Maldonado, Tae Hoon Choi, Frank Eckert, Satoshi Hagiwara, Minoru Otani, Ravishankar Sundararaman, John Keith
Computational quantum chemistry provides fundamental chemical and physical insights into solvated reaction mechanisms across many areas of chemistry, especially in homogeneous and heterogeneous renewable energy catalysis. Such reactions may depend on

Fire Dynamics Simulator: Technical Reference Guide (NISTIR 6467)

January 1, 2000
Author(s)
Kevin B. McGrattan, Howard R. Baum, Ronald G. Rehm, Anthony P. Hamins, Glenn P. Forney
The idea that the dynamics of a fire might be studied numerically dates back to the beginning of the computer age. Indeed, the fundamental conservation equations governing fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and combustion were first written down over a century

Calculation of the Electron Self Energy for Low Nuclear Charge

January 1, 1999
Author(s)
U Jentschura, Peter J. Mohr, G Soff
We present a nonperturbative numerical evaluation of the one-photon electron self-energy for hydrogen like ions with low nuclear charge numbers Z = 1 to 5. Our calculation for 1S state has a numerical uncertainty of 0.8 Hz for hydrogen and 13 Hz for singly

Rydberg states of alkali atoms in atomic vapor as SI-traceable field probes and communications receivers

May 8, 2024
Author(s)
Noah Schlossberger, Nik Prajapati, Samuel Berweger, Andrew Rotunno, Aly Artusio-Glimpse, Abrar Sheikh, Eric Norrgard, Christopher L. Holloway, Stephen Eckel
Rydberg states of alkali atoms are highly sensitive to electric fields because their electron wavefunction has a large spatial extent, leading to large polarizabilities for static fields and large transition dipole moments for time-varying fields

New Standards Working Group on Semantic Maps and More to Come!

September 30, 2022
Author(s)
Jaeho Lee, Craig I. Schlenoff
The Robotics and Automation Society's (RAS) standards working groups continue to grow. Our current working groups are pursuing standards and guidelines in the following areas. - Autonomous Robots - Ethically Driven Nudging for Robotic, Intelligent and

Quantum-enhanced interferometry with large heralded photon-number states

June 14, 2020
Author(s)
G Thekkadath, M.E. Mycroft, B.A. Bell, C.G. Wade, A. Eckstein, David Phillips, R.B Patel, A. Buraczewski, Adriana Lita, Thomas Gerrits, Sae Woo Nam, M. Stobinska, A.I. Lvovsky, Ian Walmsley
Quantum phenomena such as entanglement can improve fundamental limits on the sensitivity of a measurement probe. In optical interferometry, a probe consisting of N entangled photons provides up to a sqrt(N) enhancement in phase sensitivity compared to a

Ultrafast optically induced spin transfer in ferromagnetic alloys

January 17, 2020
Author(s)
Moritz Hofherr, Soren Hauser, J. K. Dewhurst, Phoebe Tengdin, S Sakshath, Hans Nembach, Tobias Weber, Justin Shaw, Thomas J. Silva, H C. Kapteyn, M Cinchetti, B Rethfeld, M M. Murnane, D Steil, B Stadtmuller, S Sharma, Martin Aeschlimann, S Mathias
The vision of using light to manipulate electronic and spin excitations in materials on their fundamental time and length scales requires new approaches in experiment and theory to observe and understand these excitations. The ultimate speed limit for all

Transport properties of topologically non-trivial bismuth tellurobromides BinTeBr

September 9, 2019
Author(s)
Falk Pabst, Dean Hobbis, Alzahrani Noha, Hsin Wang, I.P. Rusinov, E.V. Chulkov, Joshua B. Martin, Michael Ruck, George S. Nolas
Temperature dependent transport properties of the recently discovered layered bismuth-rich tellurobromides BinTeBr (n = 2, 3) are investigated for the first time. Dense homogeneous polycrystalline specimens prepared for different electrical and thermal

Structural, chemical, electrical and thermal properties of n-type NbFeSb

January 26, 2019
Author(s)
Dean Hobbis, Raphael P. Hermann, Hsin Wang, David S. Parker, Tribhuwan Pandey, Joshua B. Martin, Katharine L. Page, George S. Nolas
We report on the structural, chemical, electrical and thermal properties of n-type polycrystalline NbFeSb synthesized by induction melting of the elements. Although several studies on p-type conduction of this half-Heusler composition have recently been

Helical Magnetism in Sr-Doped CaMn 7 O 12 Films

December 19, 2018

Amanda Huon, Anuradha M. Vibhakar, Alexander Grutter, Julie Borchers, Steven Disseler, Yaohua Liu, Wei Tian, Fabio Orlandi, Pascal Manuel, Dmitry D. Khalyavin, Yogesh Sharma, Andreas Herklotz, Ho Nyung Lee, Michael R. Fitzsimmons, Roger D. Johnson, Steven J. May
Noncollinear magnetism can play an important role in multiferroic materials but is relatively understudied in oxide heterostructures compared to their bulk counterparts. Using magnetometry and neutron diffraction, we demonstrate the presence of helical

Spatial Dimensions in Atomic Force Microscopy: Instruments, Effects, and Measurements

August 15, 2018
Author(s)
Ronald G. Dixson, Ndubuisi G. Orji, Ichiko Misumi, Gaoliang Dai
Atomic force microscopes (AFMs) are commonly and broadly regarded as being capable of three dimensional imaging. However, conventional AFMs suffer from both significant functional constraints and imaging artifacts that render them less than fully three
