Measurement Traceability and Quality Assurance in a Nanomanufacturing Environment

March 8, 2011
Author(s)
Ndubuisi G. Orji, Ronald G. Dixson, Aaron Cordes, Benjamin Bunday, John Allgair
A key requirement for nano-manufacturing is maintaining acceptable traceability of measurements performed to determine size. Given that properties and functionality at the nanoscale are governed by absolute size, maintaining the traceability of dimensional

Merging Machining and Measurement for Cognitive Manufacturing

March 8, 2011
Author(s)
Fiona Zhao, Frederick M. Proctor, John A. Horst, Xun W. Xu
Machining process planning and measurement process planning have long received research attention from industry and academia. Machining and measurement process automation is well established for mass production in today's manufacturing systems. However

Up-conversion Single-photon Detector Using Multi-wavelength Sampling Techniques

March 8, 2011
Author(s)
Lijun Ma, Joshua Bienfang, Oliver T. Slattery, Xiao Tang
The maximum achievable data-rate of a quantum communication system can be critically limited by the efficiency and temporal resolution of the system s single-photon detectors. Frequency up-conversion technology can be used to increase detection efficiency

Bethe-Salpeter Equation Calculations of Core Excitation Spectra

March 4, 2011
Author(s)
Eric L. Shirley, Vinson T. John, John J. Rehr, Joshua J. Kas
We present a hybrid approach for GW/Bethe-Salpeter Equation (BSE) calculations of core excitation spectra, including x-ray absorption (XAS), electron energy loss spectra (EELS), and nonresonant inelastic x-ray scattering (NRIXS). The method is based on ab

High Accuracy Measurements of OH Reaction Rate Constants and IR and UV Absorption Spectra: Ethanol and Partially Fluorinated Ethyl Alcohols.

March 4, 2011
Author(s)
Vladimir L. Orkin, Victor Khamaganov, Larissa E. Martynova, Michael J. Kurylo III
Rate constants for the gas phase reactions of OH radicals with ethanol and three fluorinated ethyl alcohols, CH3CH2OH (k0), CH2FCH2OH (k1), CHF2CH2OH (k2), and CF3CH2OH (k3) were measured using a flash photolysis resonance-fluorescence technique over the

Soft Phonons and Structural Phase Transition in Superconducting Ba 0.59 K 0.41 BiO 3

March 3, 2011
Author(s)
Hye J. Kang, Y. S. Lee, Jeffrey W. Lynn, S. V. Shiryaev, S.N. Barilo
We have observed a softening of phonons and a structural phase transition in a superconducting Ba 0.6K 0.4BiO 3 (Tc = 31 K) single crystal using elastic and inelastic neutron scattering measurements. The soft phonon occurs for the [111] transverse acoustic

Time Dependent Acceleration Measurements Through Synthetic Gauge Fields

March 3, 2011
Author(s)
Brandon Anderson, Jacob Taylor, Victor Galitski
We propose an atom interferometry scheme for measuring weak, time- dependent accelerations. Our proposal uses an ensemble of dilute bosons with two internal states that couple to a synthetic gauge field with opposite charges. The gauge field couples spin to

A Component-based Approach for Manufacturing Simulation

March 2, 2011
Author(s)
Frank H. Riddick, Yung-Tsun T. Lee, Deogratias Kibira, Stephen B. Balakirsky
Manufacturing systems can be very complex and are often costly to develop and operate. Simulation technology has been shown to be an effective tool for optimizing manufacturing system design, operations, and maintenance procedures. However, each

Waterton, Walter Wolf, Gudrun Zahlmann, Brian E. Zimmerman, Daniel C. Sullivan
Medical imaging has seen significant and rapid technical advances over the last decade, including image acquisition devices, processing and analysis software, and agents to enhance specificity. Traditionally medical imaging has defined anatomy, but

Adopting the International System of Units to the 21st century

March 1, 2011
Author(s)
Peter J. Mohr, Ian M. Mills, Terry Quinn, Barry N. Taylor, Edwin R. Williams
We review the proposal of the International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM), currently being considered by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM), to revise the International System of Units, the SI. The proposal includes new
