Author(s)
Jeffrey Schwartz, ?Hsun-Jen Chuang, Matthew R. Rosenberger, Saujan V. Sivaram, Kathleen M. McCreary, B.T. Jonker, Andrea Centrone
Van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) leverage the characteristics of two-dimensional (2D) material building blocks to create a myriad of structures with unique and desirable properties. Several commonly employed fabrication strategies rely on polymeric

Author(s)
Moshe Shuker, Juniper Wren Y. Pollock, Rodolphe Boudot, V. I. Yudin, A. V. Taichenachev, John E. Kitching, Elizabeth A. Donley
Sophisticated Ramsey-based interrogation protocols using composite laser pulse sequences have been recently proposed to provide in next-generation high-precision atomic clocks a near perfect elimination of frequency shifts induced during the atom-probing

Energy-level statistics in strongly disordered systems with power-law hopping

July 16, 2018
Author(s)
Paraj T. Bhattacharjee, Victor L. Quito, Sergey V. Syzranov
Motivated by neutral excitations in disordered electronic materials and systems of trapped ultracold particles with long-range interactions, we study energy-level statistics of quasiparticles with the power-law hopping Hamiltonian $\propto 1/r^\alpha$ in a

Deepak K. Sharma, Matin Amani, Abhishek Motayed, Pankaj B. Shah, A. Glen Birdwell , Sina Najmaei, Pulickel M. Ajayan, Jun Lou, Madan Dubey, Qiliang Li, Albert Davydov
We have studied temperature-dependent (300K to 77K) electrical characteristics and low-frequency noise (LFN) in chemical vapor deposited (CVD) single layer molybdenum disulfide MoS_(2) based back-gated field-effect transistors (FETs). Electrical

Structural Irreversibility in Enhanced Brittleness under Fatigue in Zr-Based Amorphous Solids

December 19, 2012
Author(s)
Peng Tong, Despina Louca, Gongyao Wang, Peter K. Liaw, Yoshihiko Yokoyama, Anna Llobet, Hiroshi Kawaji, Yiming Qiu, Yunfeng Shi
Amorphous metals are solid metallic materials devoid of periodicity, with disordered atomic structures achieved by supercooling the viscous liquid to avoid crystallization. Whilst trapped in this supercooled state with an atomic topology that resembles

Pore Size Distribution and Accessible Pore Size Distribution in Bituminous Coals

October 1, 2012
Author(s)
Richard Sakurovs, Lilin He, Yuri B. Melnichenko, Andrzej P. Radlinski, Tomasz Blach, Hartmut Lemmel, David F. Mildner
Contrast-matching ultra-small-angle neutron scattering (USANS) and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) techniques have been used to determine the fraction of the pores that are inaccessible to deuterated methane, CD 4, in 23 coals over the range of pores

Characterization of the Photoacid Diffusion Length

February 27, 2009
Author(s)
Shuhui Kang, Vivek Prabhu, Wen-Li Wu, Eric K. Lin, Kwang-Woo Choi, Manish Chandhok, Todd Younkin, Wang Yueh
The photoacid diffusion length is a critical issue for EUV photoresists and photolithography because it governs critical dimension (CD), line-edge-roughness (LER) and line-width-roughness (LWR). This paper provides an approach to characterize the photoacid

Controlled Exchange Interaction Between Pairs of Neutral Atoms in an Optical Lattice

July 26, 2007
Author(s)
M Anderlini, Patricia J. Lee, Ben L. Brown, Jennifer Sebby-Strabley, William D. Phillips, James V. Porto
Ultra-cold atoms trapped by light, with their inherent quantum coherence and controllability, provide an attractive system for quantum information and for the simulation of complex problems in condensed matter physics. Quantum information processing

Optical and structural study of GaN nanowires grown by catalyst-free molecular beam epitaxy. II. Sub-band-gap luminescence and electron irradiation effects

June 4, 2007
Author(s)
Larry Robins, Kristine A. Bertness, Joy Barker, Norman Sanford, John B. Schlager
GaN nanowires with diameters of 50-250nm, grown by catalyst-free molecular beam epitaxy, were characterized by photoluminescence (PL) and cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy at temperatures from 3 to 297 K. Both as-grown samples and dispersions of

Jabez J. McClelland, H Y. Ban, Marcus Jacka, James L. Hanssen, Joseph Reader
We have identified five closed, or nearly-closed, J ? J + 1 transitions in atomic erbium at wavelengths of 401 nm, 583 nm, 631 nm, 841 nm, and 1299 nm. These transitions can be reached by common tunable single-frequency laser systems, and are thus in

100 Years of Photometry and Radiometry Harnessing Light

June 1, 2001
Author(s)
Jonathan E. Hardis
Measurement of light is an old subject, though the past 100 years have seen significant advances. 100 years ago, photometry the art and science of measuring light as it is preceived by people had the greatest technological importance. Even today, SI (the

Likelihood Models for Two-Stage Neutron Lifetime Experiments

January 1, 2001
Author(s)
Grace L. Yang, Kevin J. Coakley
At the NIST Cold Neutron Research Facility, a multiple run neutron lifetime experiment is underway. Each run of the two-stage experiment consists of a neutron production stage and a neutron decay stage. Salient features of the experimental data are that
