MODELING THE BURNING OF COMPLICATED OBJECTS USING LAGRANGIAN PARTICLES

July 4, 2010
Author(s)
Kevin B. McGrattan, Randall J. McDermott, William E. Mell, Glenn P. Forney, Jason E. Floyd, Simo A. Hostikka
A methodology is described for representing complicated objects within a computational fluid dynamics model. These objects are typically collections of similar items that are too small to define on the numerical grid that is used to solve the governing

Programmable Vector Point-Spread Function Engineering

April 1, 2006
Author(s)
M R. Beversluis, L Novotny, Stephan J. Stranick
We use a nematic liquid crystal spatial light modulator (SLM) to control the vector point spread function of a microscope objective by manipulating the pupil field polarization. In combination with an achromatic quarter-wave plate, the SLM acts as a

Non-volatile Multi-level Switching in Artificial Synaptic Transistors Based on Epitaxial LiCoO2 Thin Films

October 26, 2021
Author(s)
Heshan Yu, Megan E. Holtz, Yunhui Gong, Justin Pearson, Yaoyu Ren, Andrew Herzing, Xiaohang Zhang, Ichiro Takeuchi
… Li-ion synaptic transistors offer non-volatile multi-level switching through Li-ion exchange between channel and electrolyte, and thus are … investigate of the multi-switching operation in the Li-ion synaptic devices fabricated on epitaxial Li1-xCoO2 (LCO) …

Report on High Energy Arcing Fault Experiments - Experimental Results from Open Box Enclosures

December 29, 2021
Author(s)
Gabriel Taylor, Anthony D. Putorti Jr., Scott Bareham, Christopher U. Brown, Wai Cheong Tam, Edward Hnetkovsky, Andre Thompson, Michael Selepak, Philip Deardorff, Kenneth Hamburger, Nicholas Melly, Kenneth Miller, Kenneth Armijo, Paul Clem, Alvaro Cruz-Cabrera, Byron Demosthenous, Austin Glover, Chris LaFleur, Raymond Martinez, James Taylor, Rana Weaver, Caroline Winters
This report documents an experimental program to investigate High Energy Arcing Fault (HEAF) phenomena. The experiments provide data to better characterize the arc to improve the prediction of arc energy emitted during a HEAF event. An open box allows for

Behaviour of high-strength bolts at elevated temperatures under double-shear loading

September 13, 2017
Author(s)
Mina S. Seif, Jonathan M. Weigand, Rafaela Peixoto, Luiz Vieira
During fire events, connections in steel structures may be subjected to large unanticipated deformations and loads. Those fire effects can produce failures of connections, including local buckling of the connection zone, rupture of connection plates, shear

Whisker & Hillock Formation on Sn, Sn-Cu and Sn-Pb Electrodeposits

November 11, 2005
Author(s)
William J. Boettinger, C E. Johnson, Leonid A. Bendersky, Kil-Won Moon, Maureen E. Williams, Gery R. Stafford
Bright Sn, Sn-Cu and Sn-Pb layers, 3, 7 and 16 mm thick were electrodeposited on phosphor bronze cantilever beams in a rotating disk apparatus. Over a period of several days, Sn-Cu deposits develop 50 mm contorted hillocks and 200 mm whiskers, pure Sn

Accuracy and Versatility of the NIST M48 Coordinate Measuring Machine

October 1, 2001
Author(s)
John R. Stoup, Theodore D. Doiron
The NIST Is continuing to develop the ability to perform accurate, traceable measurements on a wide range of artifacts using a very precise, error-mapped coordinate measuring machine (CMM). The NIST M48 CMM has promised accuracy and versatility for many

Dark state optical lattice with sub-wavelength spatial structure

February 20, 2018
Author(s)
Sarthak Subhankar, Tsz-Chun Tsui, James V. Porto, Steve Rolston, Przemek Bienias, Alexey Gorshkov, Mateusz Lacki, Michael Baranov, Peter Zoller
We report on the experimental realization of a conservative optical lattice for cold atoms with sub-wavelength spatial structure. The potential is based on the nonlinear optical response of three- level atoms in laser-dressed dark states, which is not

The Mott Transition in a Bose Gas Measured Through Time of Flight

January 1, 2014
Author(s)
Ian B. Spielman, Karina Jimenez-Garcia
Ultracold atoms in optical lattices can realize nearly perfect analogs to condensed matter model systems without the complexity present in materials. In this chapter, we thoroughly describe our experimental characterization of the transition from

Aqueous blackbody calibration source for millimeter-wave/terahertz metrology

October 20, 2008
Author(s)
Charles Dietlein, Zoya Popovic, Erich N. Grossman
… The water is constrained to a specific shape (an optical trap geometry) in an expanded polystyrene (EPS) container and … present at a water interface is minimized by the trap geometry, ensuring that radiation incident on the …

Point-source atom interferometer gyroscope

December 1, 2021
Author(s)
Azure Hansen, Yun-Jhih Chen, John Kitching, Elizabeth Donley
Point-source atom interferometry (PSI) with cold atoms in a centimeter-scale vacuum cell has applications in inertial navigation. PSI uses light pulses in a Raman configuration to interfere atomic wavepackets in an expanding cloud of laser-cooled atoms

Programmable System on Chip for controlling an atomic physics experiment

July 23, 2021
Author(s)
Ananya Sitaram, Gretchen K. Campbell, Alessandro Restelli
Most atomic physics experiments are controlled by a digital pattern generator used to synchronize all equipment by providing triggers and clocks. Recently, the availability of well-documented open-source development tools has lifted the barriers to using

High-Contrast CPT Resonances

February 7, 2006
Author(s)
John E. Kitching
The performance of an atomic clock or magnetometer based on CPT is determined by the resonance width and the signal-to-noise ratio. In particular, a large signal amplitude results in a high stability for a clock or a high sensitivity for a magnetometer
