Author(s)
Carin Eklof-Osterberg, Reji Nedumkandathil, Ulrich Haussermann, Aleksander Jaworski, Andrew J. Pell, Madhu Sudan Tyagi, Niina H. Jalarvo, Bernhard Frick, Antonio Faraone, Maths Karlsson
Perovskite-type oxyhydrides, BaTiO 3-xH^ x, have been recently shown to exhibit hydride ion (H -) conductivity at elevated temperatures, but the underlying mechanism of hydride ion conduction and how it depends on temperature and oxygen vacancy

Magnetotransport in highly enriched 28Si for quantum information processing devices

November 25, 2018
Author(s)
Aruna N. Ramanayaka, Ke Tang, Joseph Hagmann, Hyun S. Kim, Curt A. Richter, Joshua M. Pomeroy
Elimination of unpaired nuclear spins can result in low error rates for quantum computation; therefore, isotopically enriched 28Si is regarded as an ideal environment for quantum information processing devices. Using mass selected ion beam deposition

A Soot Deposition Gauge for Fire Measurements

March 12, 2018
Author(s)
Amy E. Mensch, Thomas G. Cleary
The goal of this exploratory project is to demonstrate the feasibility of a conductometric measurement to determine the time-resolved soot deposition on surfaces in fire environments. Quantitative soot deposition data enabled by this measurement method is

Author(s)
Luis F. Vargas Lara, Ahmed M. Hassan, Marc A. Mansfield, Jack F. Douglas
The Newtonian capacity C of an object is defined by the equilibrium energy, EN =1/C, of a charge distribution on a conductive object and provides a classical measure of object shape. It is well known, for example, that C is minimized for a sphere for all
