Multi-Energy X-Ray Tomography of an Optical Fiber: The Role of Spatial Averaging

March 14, 2019
Author(s)
Zachary H. Levine, Adele P. Peskin, Edward J. Garboczi, Andrew Holmgren
Using a commercial X-ray tomography instrument, we have obtained reconstructions of a graded-index optical fiber with voxels of edge length 1.05 µm at 12 tube voltages. The fiber manufacturer created a graded index in the central region by varying the

Spectral tuning of localized surface phonon-polariton modes in selective area epitaxy GaN nanowire arrays

May 1, 2018
Author(s)
Bryan T. Spann, J. Ryan Nolen, Matthew D. Brubaker, Thomas G. Folland, Chase T. Ellis, Joseph G. Tischler, Todd E. Harvey, Joshua D. Caldwell, Kristine A. Bertness
Polar semiconductor materials, such as GaN, InP, SiC et al., offer a basis to manufacture innovative long-wavelength photonic devices.1 Such semiconductors can support propagating and localized surface phonon-polariton (SPhP) resonances that provide highly

Instrumented impact testing of miniaturized Charpy specimens of AM Ti-6Al-4V

April 11, 2018
Author(s)
Enrico Lucon, Nikolas W. Hrabe
An investigation on the impact toughness properties of wrought and additively-manufactured (AM) Ti 6Al 4V was conducted at NIST Boulder, by means of instrumented impact tests on miniaturized Charpy specimens. Full transition curves for absorbed energy and

Estimating Error Rates for Firearm Evidence Identifications in Forensic Science

March 1, 2018
Author(s)
Jun-Feng Song, Theodore V. Vorburger, Wei Chu, James H. Yen, Johannes A. Soons, D Ott, Nien F. Zhang
Estimating error rates for firearm evidence identification is a fundamental challenge in forensic science. This paper describes the recently developed Congruent Matching Cells (CMC) method for image comparisons, its application to firearm identification

Differential degradation patterns of photovoltaic backsheets at the array level

February 4, 2018
Author(s)
Andrew W. Fairbrother, Matthew Boyd, Yadong Lyu, Julien Avenet, Peter Illich, Michael Kempe, Brian P. Dougherty, Laura Bruckman, Xiaohong Gu
Photovoltaic backsheet degradation is commonly related to end-of-life failure of a module, and as such is an important factor in system reliability and longevity. Some module manufacturers have recently begun utilizing non-fluoropolymer-based backsheets in

Tolerances and Uncertainty in Robotic Systems

November 8, 2017
Author(s)
Frederick M. Proctor, John L. Michaloski, Marek Franaszek
… Automating this optimization is a goal of smart manufacturing. With its trend of increasing connectivity …

Techniques to Evaluate Terrestrial Laser Scanner Errors

July 26, 2017
Author(s)
Bala Muralikrishnan, Prem K. Rachakonda
Forensic photography has been one of the most important tool for investigators over many decades. They preserve the history of the scene and provides a way for investigators to revisit the scene. However, it is difficult to ascertain any objective

Resonant Acoustic Frequency Shifts Associated with Cracks in Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors

June 6, 2017
Author(s)
Ward L. Johnson, Jaemi Herzberger, Sudook A. Kim, Kirsten L. Peterson, Paul R. Heyliger, Grady S. White
Resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS) was used in this study to measure shifts in resonant frequency that arise from the presence of cracks in barium-titanate-based multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs). This work was motivated by an industrial need for

Process improvements in the production of silicon immersion gratings

June 26, 2016
Author(s)
Cynthia Brooks, Benjamin Kidder, Michelle Grigas, Daniel Jaffe, Ulf Griesmann, Daniel Wilson, Richard Muller
We have explored a number of lithographic techniques and improvements to produce the resist lines that then define the grating groove edges of silicon immersion gratings. In addition to our lithographic process using contact printing with photomasks, which

Design of a breast phantom for quantitative MRI

January 1, 2016
Author(s)
Kathryn E. Keenan, Sheye O. Aliu, Lisa J. Wilmes, David C. Newitt, Ella F. Jones, Wen Li, Michael A. Boss, Nola M. Hylton
Purpose: We present a breast phantom designed to enable quantitative assessment of measurements of T 1 relaxation time, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), and other attributes of breast tissue, with long-term support from a national metrology institute

"Weighing" a Gas With Microwave and Acoustic Resonances

March 24, 2015
Author(s)
Keith A. Gillis, James B. Mehl, James W. Schmidt, Michael R. Moldover
With calibrations of large flow meters in mind, we established the feasibility of determining the mass Mof argon gas contained within a 0.3 m 3 commercially manufactured pressure vessel ("tank") with a relative uncertainty of u r(M) = 0.0015 at 0.6 MPa by
