EXPOSING SIDING TREATMENTS AND WALLS FITTED WITH EAVES TO FIREBRAND SHOWERS

February 2, 2011
Author(s)
Samuel L. Manzello, Sayaka S. Suzuki, Yoshihiko Hayashi
An experimental campaign was undertaken to determine vulnerabilities of siding treatments and walls fitted with eaves to firebrand bombardment using the NIST Dragon installed in the Building Research Institute’s Fire Research Wind Tunnel Facility (FRWTF)

Photoluminescence from an Nd3+ doped AlGaAs semiconductor structure

May 16, 2004
Author(s)
Kirk Ullmann, Mark Su, Kevin L. Silverman, Joseph J. Berry, Todd E. Harvey, Richard Mirin
We report room temperature photoluminescence from a Nd3+ doped AlGaAs semiconductor. Oxidation of the AlGaAs greatly improves the luminescence efficiency of the Nd3+ ions.

Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy of CeO 2 -x Nanoparticles

January 7, 2003
Author(s)
W Lijun, H J. Wiesmann, A R. Moodenbaugh, Daniel A. Fischer, Y Zhu, M Suenaga
ria has been widely studied due to its applications, such as a catalyst in vehicle emissions system and an electrolyte material in solid oxide fuel cells. Recently, it has been reported that CeO2-x nanoparticles exhibit lattice expansion and valence

Site-Specific Valence-Band Photoemission Study of A-Fe 2 O 3

August 1, 2002
Author(s)
C Y. Kim, Michael Bedzyk, E J. Nelson, Joseph Woicik, L E. Berman
We have measured the site-specific valence-electronic structure of α-Fe 2O 3 by using a spatially modulated X-ray standing wave as the excitation source for photoemission. Contributions to the valence band density of states from oxygen and iron ions are

Long-Term Stability of Chip-Scale Atomic Clock Physics Packages

January 20, 2007
Author(s)
Svenja A. Knappe, Vladislav Gerginov, V Shah, Alan Brannon, Hugh Robinson, Leo W. Hollberg, John E. Kitching
We present measurements regarding the long-term stability of chip-scale atomic clock (CSAC) physics packages. The tight requirements for the temperature stability of vapor cell and laser in these packages currently limit their frequency stability after 100

Chip-Scale Atomic Devices at NIST

January 25, 2006
Author(s)
John E. Kitching
The NIST program on chip-scale atomic devices (CSAD) seeks to design, build and characterize miniature atomic instruments and sensors based on fabrication techniques traditionally used in the field of microelectronics and micro-electric-mechanical systems

The Bose-Einstein condensate

January 1, 1998
Author(s)
Eric A. Cornell, C E. Wieman
In June 1995, our research group at the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics in Bolder, Colorado, succeeded in creating a miniscule but marvelous droplet. By cooling 2,000 rubidium atoms to a temperature less than 100 billionths of a degree above

Thomas-Fermi approximation for double condensates

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
B D. Esry, C H. Greene, J P. Burke, J L. Bohn
We present calculations of the Thomas-Fermi wave functions for two simultaneously trapped and condensed hyperfire states of 87rb which has recently observed [C.J. Myatt,et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. (preprint)]. We show that the suppression of the spin exchange

An Observable Measure of Multiqubit Entanglement for Pure States

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
G K. Brennen
Recently, Meyer and Wallach [D.A. Meyer and N.R. Wallach (2002), J. of Math. Phys., 43, pp. 4273] proposed a measure of multi-qubit entanglement that is a function on pure states. We find that this function can be interpreted as a physical quantity related

Atomic Collisions in Ultracold Atomic Gases

July 1, 1997
Author(s)
Paul S. Julienne, Kevin Jones, Paul D. Lett, William D. Phillips, Eite Tiesinga, U Volz, Carl J. Williams
Cold collisions between trapped atoms are very important in the context of Bose-Einstein condensation. The meaning of the scattering length, and its determination through the precision measurements of photoassociation spectroscopy, are described. This is

Toward Achieving Harmonization in a Nano-cytotoxicity Assay Measurement through an Interlaboratory Comparison Study

September 29, 2016
Author(s)
John T. Elliott, Matthias Roesslein, Nam W. Song, Blaza Toman, Agnieszka Kinsner-Ovaskainen, Rawiwan Maniratanachote, Marc L. Salit, Elijah J. Petersen, Fatima Sequeira, Jieun Lee, Francois Rossi, Cordula Hirsch, Harald Krug, Wongsakorn Suchaoin, Peter Wick
Design and development of reliable cell-based nanotoxicology assays is important for ranking of potential hazardous engineered nanomaterials. Challenges to producing a reliable assay protocol include working with nanoparticle dispersions and living cell

Two Applications of Small Feature Dimensional Measurements on a CMM with a Fiber Probe

September 4, 2013
Author(s)
Eric S. Stanfield, Bala Muralikrishnan, Theodore D. Doiron, Xiaoyu Alan Zheng, Shahram Orandi, david Duquette
We describe two interesting applications of dimensional measurements performed using a contact fiber probe on a commercial Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM). Both examples involve artifacts that serve as material standards and contain features in the 100

Scaling studies with the dual crystal spectrometer at the OMEGA-EP laser facility

October 26, 2010
Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, C.I Szabo, J. Workman, K. Flippo, Uri Feldman, Albert Henins
The dual crystal spectrometer (DCS) is an approved diagnostic at the OMEGA and the OMEGA-EP laser facilities for the measurement of high energy x-rays in the 11 90 keV energy range, e.g., for verification of the x-ray spectrum of backlighter targets of

Explanation of (hhl) f Habit Planes in Ferrous Alloys

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
H M. Ledbetter, Martin Dunn
We give a possible explanation of the remarkable habit-plane measurements reported by Kajiwara for Fe-Ni-Mn alloys. Examining small, thin (early-stage), martensite plates, Kajiwara found that all habit-plane normals fall on the (hhl)f line, spanning about

Computational Model Predictions of Suspension Rheology: Comparison to Experiment

July 25, 2007
Author(s)
Nicos Martys, Chiara F. Ferraris, V Gupta, Josephine H. Cheung
Predicting the rheological properties of fresh concrete, mortars, and cement paste from first principles remains a great challenge. While progress has been made in modeling the rheological properties of idealized hard sphere-like suspensions, there is
