Chemical Pressure Tuning of URu 2 Si 2 via Isoelectronic Substitution of Ru with Fe

February 26, 2015
Author(s)
Pinaki Das, N. Kanchanavatee, Joel Helton, K. Huang, R. E. Baumbach, E. D. Bauer, B. D. White, V. W. Burnett, M. B. Maple, Jeffrey W. Lynn, M. Janoschek
We have used specific heat and neutron diffraction measurements on single crystals of UR 2-xFe xSi 2 for Fe concentrations X less than or equal to} 0.7 to establish that chemical substitution of Ru with Fe acts as "chemical pressure" P ch as previously

Gradual Release of Strongly-Bound Nitric Oxide from Fe 2 (NO) 2 (dobdc)

February 24, 2015
Author(s)
Eric D. Bloch, Wendy L. Queen, Sachin Chavan, Paul S. Wheatley, Joseph M. Zadrozny, Russell E. Morris, Craig Brown, Carlo Lamberti, Silvia Bordiga, Jeffrey R. Long
An iron-based metal-organic framework featuring coordinatively-unsaturated redox-active metal cation sites, Fe 2(dobdc) (dobdc 4- = 1,4-dioxido-2,5-benzenedicarboxylate), is shown to strongly bond nitric oxide at 298 K. Adsorption isotherms indicate an

Environment-assisted quantum control of a solid state spin via 2-color coherent dark states

September 7, 2014
Author(s)
Jacob M. Taylor, Jack Hansom, Carsten Schulte, Claire Le Gall, Clemens Matthiesen, Edmund Clarke, Maxime Hugues, Mete Atature
Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) offer an efficient and scalable interface between single spins and optical photons. However, the solid-state environment of the QD represents an inherent source of noise, generally considered detrimental to coherent control

Enriching 28Si beyond 99.9998 % for semiconductor quantum computing

August 5, 2014
Author(s)
Kevin J. Dwyer, Joshua M. Pomeroy, David S. Simons, June W. Lau, Kristen L. Steffens
Using a laboratory-scale apparatus, we enrich 28Si and produce material with 40 times less residual 29Si than previously reported. Starting from natural abundance silane gas, we offer an alternative to industrial gas centrifuges for providing materials

Method for determining the irreversible strain limit of Nb 3 Sn wires

June 6, 2011
Author(s)
Loren F. Goodrich, Najib Cheggour, Xifeng Lu, Jolene D. Splett, Theodore C. Stauffer, Bernard J. Filla
We have defined a rigorous and reliable method for determining the irreversible strain limit of Nb 3Sn wires. The critical current (I c) is measured as a function of applied longitudinal strain (ε), I c(ε), at one magnetic field and a temperature of 4.0 K

Structure and Hydration of Membranes Embedded with Voltage-Sensing Domains

November 26, 2009
Author(s)
Dmitriy Krepkiy, Mihaela Mihailescu, J. Alfredo Freites, Eric V. Schow, David Worcester, Klaus Gawrisch, Douglas Tobias, Stephen White, Kenton J. Swartz
Despite the growing number of atomic-resolution membrane protein structures, direct structural information about proteins in their native membrane environment is scarce. This problem is particularly relevant in the case of the highly-charged S1-S4 voltage

Microwave SQUID multiplexers for low-temperature detectors

January 10, 2006
Author(s)
Kent D. Irwin, James A. Beall, W.Bertrand (Randy) Doriese, William Duncan, Gene C. Hilton, John Mates, Carl D. Reintsema, Dan Schmidt, Joel Ullom, Leila R. Vale, Barry L. Zink, Konrad Lehnert
We report on the development of a SQUID multiplexer operated at microwave frequencies. This multiplexer can accommodate any detector that can be read out with SQUIDs, including transition-edge sensors, magnetic calorimeters, and superconductor-insulator

Artifacts in Ballistic Magnetoresistance Measurements

June 1, 2004
Author(s)
William F. Egelhoff Jr., L Gan, H Ettendgui, Y Kadmon, Cedric J. Powell, P J. Chen, Alexander J. Shapiro, Robert McMichael, J Mallett, Thomas P. Moffat, Mark D. Stiles
We have carried out an extensive search for credible evidence to support the existence of a ballistic magnetoresistance (BMR) effect in magnetic nanocontacts. We have investigated both thin-film and thin-wire geometries for both mechanically-formed and

Reversible axial-strain effect and extended strain limits in Y-Ba-Cu-O coatings on deformation-textured substrates

November 17, 2003
Author(s)
Najib Cheggour, John (Jack) W. Ekin, Cameron C. Clickner, D. T. Verebelyi, C. L. H. Thieme, Ron Feenstra, P Goyal
The dependence of transport critical-current density (J c) on axial tensile strain (ε) was measured at 76 K and self-magnetic field for YBa 2Cu 3O 7-δ (YBCO) coatings on buffered, deformation-textured substrates of pure Ni, Ni-5at.%-W, and Ni-10-at.%Cr-2

Transverse Compressive Stress Effect in Y-Ba-Cu-O Coatings on Biaxially Textured Ni and Ni-5at.%W Substrates

Author(s)
Najib Cheggour, John (Jack) W. Ekin, Cameron C. Clickner, D. T. Verebelyi, C. L. H. Thieme, Ron Feenstra, P Goyal, D F. Paranthaman
Electromechanical properties of yttrium-barium-copper-oxide (YBCO) coatings on both pure Ni and Ni-5at.%W alloy rolling-assisted, biaxially-textured substrates (RABiTS) were investigated. The effect of transverse compressive stress on transport critical

Crystal Structure of Ba 27 Fe 16 Ti 33 O 117

July 1, 2002

T Siegrist, Terrell A. Vanderah, C Svensson, Robert S. Roth
Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies indicate that the compound Ba 27Fe 16Ti 33O 117- crystallizes in the rhombohedral space group R-3m, with a hexagonal unit cell a=5.7400(8) , c=127.11(3) ; Z=1.5. The arrangement may be described as a 54-layer (54L)

Ping-Shine Shaw, Keith R. Lykke, R Gupta, Uwe Arp, Thomas B. Lucatorto, Albert C. Parr
The Synchrotron Ultraviolet Radiation Facility (SURF III) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides a unique opportunity for high-accuracy VUV to visible radiometry with the completion of a recent upgrade to improve the

Special Issue - Crystallography at NIST/NBS

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
Alan D. Mighell, Winnie K. Wong-Ng
The Centennial Celebration of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), formerly known as the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), takes place in the year 2001. NIST has a long history (> 50 years) of crystallographic research, and has made

A New Determination of the Newtonian Constant of Gravity Using the Free Fall Method

June 1, 1999
Author(s)
J. Schwarz, D S. Robertson, T M. Niebauer, J E. Faller
We report on a recent determination of the Newtonian constant of gravity, G, using a new free fall method. This method uses a freely falling test object to sense the gravitational field of a ring-shaped mass placed alternately above and below the drop
