Author(s)
Samuel M. Brewer, Joan M. Dreiling, Nicholas D. Guise, Shannon M. Hoogerheide, Aung Naing, Joseph N. Tan
Multiple-ionized atoms can be captured at low energy in a compact Penning trap, allowing the isolation of a single charge state to measure the radiative lifetime of an atomic state that decays via weakly allowed transitions. Such a measurement is reported

We report on the structural details of Pr 2Zr 2O 6O', La 2Zr 2O 6O', and Yb 2Ti 2O 6O' in the A 2B 2O 6O' pyrochlore structure. X-ray and neutron powder diffraction indicate these materials are long-range ordered. On the local scale these materials appear

Brian C. Sales, Ke Jin, Hongbin Bei, John Nichols, Matthew F. Chisholm, F. May, Nicholas Butch, Andrew D. Christianson, Michael A. McGuire
Concentrated solid solutions of transition metal atoms, such as NiCoCr, have extreme chemical disorder within a simple face-centered-cubic crystal structure. These alloys can be grown as large single crystals, and are closely related to the recently

Peter J. Lowell, John A. Mates, William B. Doriese, Gene C. Hilton, Kelsey M. Morgan, Daniel S. Swetz, Joel N. Ullom, Daniel R. Schmidt
Low-temperature superconducting circuits have become important in modern science. However, there are presently no high-current-capacity switches with low power dissipation for sub-Kelvin operation. One candidate for a sub-Kelvin switch is the cryotron, a
