Pinhole Coupling Strength in Giant Magnetoresistance Spin Valves: A Statistical Approach

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
D X. Yang, E J. Repetski, H D. Chopra, B J. Spencer, D Parks, P J. Chen, William F. Egelhoff Jr.
The nature of pinhole coupling and its strength in 'giant' magnetoresistance (GMR) spin valves is far from understood. In the present study, a statistical model has been developed that correctly predicts the coupling strength due to pinholes, using the

Incomplete reactions in nanothermite composites

February 3, 2017
Author(s)
Rohit J. Jacob, Diana Ortiz-Montalvo, Kyle R. Overdeep, Timothy P. Weihs, Michael R. Zachariah
Exothermic reactions between oxophilic metals and transition/ post transition metal-oxides have been well documented owing to their fast reaction time scales (10 μs). This article examines the extent of reaction in nano-aluminum based thermite systems

DNA Extraction and DNA Damage Measurement in the Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans

November 1, 2015
Author(s)
Leona D. Scanlan, Pawel Jaruga, Sanem Hosbas Coskun, Jamie L. Almeida, David N. Catoe, Jennifer McDaniel, Miral M. Dizdar
Little is known about endogenous DNA damage in the nematode. In this work, we standardized the growth of the nematode in two different growth media (axenic CeHR supplemented with 20% milk and S-basal with E. coli), and developed a novel high-salt, phenol

Calibration of Lightpipe Radiation Thermometers in a RTP Tool at 1000 C

April 1, 2000
Author(s)
Kenneth G. Kreider, D P. DeWitt, Christopher W. Meyer, Vincent P. Scheuerman
We are developing an instrumented calibration wafer for radiometric temperature measurements in rapid thermal processing (RTP) that uses Pt/Pd wire and noble metal thin-film thermocouples that are welded to thin-film pads of Pt. The Pt/Pd wire

Developing the United States GReenhouse gas And Air Pollutants Emissions System (GRA2PES)

October 11, 2025
Author(s)
Congmeng Lyu, Colin Harkins, Meng Li, Kimberly Mueller, Jack Prothero, Bert Verreyken, John Miller, Scott Lehman, Jeff Peischl, Jessica Gilman, CARSTEN WARNEKE, MATTHEW COGGON, Chelsea Stockwell, Steve Brown, Kristen Zuraski, Aaron Lamplugh, kevin gurney, Lech Gawuc, Pawlok Dass, Rachel Hoesly, Steve Smith, Tomohiro Oda, Lucy Hutyra, Conor Gately, claire granier, James Whetstone, BRIAN MCDONALD
In the U.S., emissions of greenhouse gas (GHG) and air quality (AQ) are often developed independent of one another. Here, we develop the GReenhouse gas And Air Pollutant Emissions System (GRA2PES), providing gridded emissions of fossil-fuel carbon dioxide

Surface photooxidation of polypropylene-based photovoltaic backsheets: A comprehensive spectroscopic investigation

December 8, 2024
Author(s)
Karissa Jensen, Ashlee Aiello, Stefan Mitterhofer, Chiara Barretta, Gernot Oreski, Christopher Stafford, Xiaohong Gu
The prospect of cost reduction, enhanced performance, and improved sustainability has been driving innovation in the development of new backsheet materials for photovoltaic (PV) modules in recent years. Among the materials of interest, polypropylene (PP)

Brominated nanoscale diamond enables room temperature and catalysis free functionalization chemistry

January 27, 2022
Author(s)
Cynthia Melendrez, Jorge Lopez-Rosas, Tsz Cheung, Camron Stokes, Sang-Jun Lee, Jan Vavra, Helena Raabova, Vaclav Vanek, Sami Sainio, Dennis Nordlund, W.Bertrand (Randy) Doriese, Galen O'Neil, Daniel Swetz, Joel Ullom, Kent Irwin, Peter Cigler, Polo Tran, Halim Muhammad, Virginia Altoe, Charles Titus, Jocelyn Valenzuela, Grace Jeanpierre, Abraham Wolcott
Bromination of diamond surfaces has not been explored and can potentially open new avenues for increased chemical reactivity. Aerobically oxidized high-pressure high-temperature nanoscale diamond (ND) is a widely used host for the nitrogen vacancy centers

Hydrogen in nonstoichiometric cubic titanium monoxides: X-ray and neutron diffraction, neutron vibrational spectroscopy and NMR studies

December 1, 2021
Author(s)
A. V. Skripov, A. V. Soloninin, A. A. Valeeva, A. I. Gusev, A. A. Rempel, Hui Wu, Terrence J. Udovic
Hydrogen-induced changes in the properties of transition-metal oxides have attracted much recent attention due to numerous applications of these materials including catalysis, H2 production, low-temperature H2 sensing, solar cells, and air purification

Effects of Lightpipe Proximity on Si Wafer Temperature in Rapid Thermal Processing Tools

September 1, 2003
Author(s)
Kenneth G. Kreider, D H. Chen, D P. DeWitt, William A. Kimes, Benjamin K. Tsai
curate temperature measurements are critical in rapid thermal processing (RTP) of silicon wafers for thermal oxidation and dopant anneals. Many RTP tools use lightpipe radiation thermometers (LPRTs) to measure the wafer temperatures during processing
