Quasiparticle Density of States Measurements in Clean Superconducting AlMn Alloys

May 6, 2010
Author(s)
Galen C. O'Neil, Daniel R. Schmidt, Nathan A. Tomlin, Joel N. Ullom
Aluminum doped with Manganese (AlMn) forms a superconducting alloy with the transition temperature suppressed by the added Manganese. We present quasiparticle density of states measurements on superconducting AlMn alloys made by current-voltage

Variances of Plane Parameters Fitted to Range Data

May 5, 2010
Author(s)
Marek Franaszek
Formulas for variances of plane parameters fitted with Nonlinear Least Squares to points cloud acquired by 3D imaging systems (e.g., LADAR) are derived. Two different error functions used in minimization are discussed: the orthogonal and the directional

Deactivation of Sub-Melt Laser Annealed Arsenic Ultra Shallow Junctions in Silicon During Subsequent Thermal Treatment

May 4, 2010
Author(s)
Joseph C. Woicik, D. Giubertoni, G. Pepponi, S. Gennaro, M. Bersani, M. A. Sahiner, S. P. Kelty, M. Kah, K. J. Kirkby, R. Doherty, M. A. Foad, F. Meirer, C. Streli, P. Pianetta
The use of non-equilibrium annealing approaches can produce a very high level of arsenic electrical activation in Si but subsequent thermal treatments between 500 and 800 C easily deactivate the dopant to a level one order of magnitude below the solid

SANS from P85/Water-d Under Pressure

May 4, 2010
Author(s)
Bryna Clover, Boualem Hammouda
Pluronics are triblock copolymers of PEO-PPO-PEO. Pluronic P85 forms a rich phase behavior when dissolved in water. Unimers are observed at low temperature while micelles form at higher temperatures. Spherical, cylindrical and lamellar micelles are

Absence of the Hyperfine Magnetic Field at the Ru Site in Ferromagnetic Rare-Earth Intermetallics

May 3, 2010
Author(s)
D. Coffey, M. DeMarco, P.C. Ho, M. B. Maple, T. Sayles, Jeffrey W. Lynn, Qingzhen Huang, S. Toorongian, M. Haka
The Mossbauer Effect(ME) is frequently used to investigate magnetically ordered systems. One usually assumes that the magnetic order induces a hyperfine magnetic field, B hyper fine, at the ME active site. This is the case in the ruthenates, where the

Better IAQ using ASHRAE Guide

May 3, 2010
Author(s)
Andrew K. Persily, Martha Hewett
Over the years, there have been many important contributions directed towards improving IAQ in buildings, including Standard 62.1 and other publications (EPA and NIOSH 1991; SMACNA 2007). In addition, ASHRAE, the International Society for Indoor Air

Estimating Volumes of Near-spherical Molded Artifacts

May 3, 2010
Author(s)
David E. Gilsinn, Bruce R. Borchardt, Amelia Tebbe
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is conducting research on developing reference lung cancer cancer lesions, called phantoms, to test computed tomography (CT) scanners and their software. FDA loaned two semi-spherical phantoms to the National

Gate Dielectrics Year-In-Review

May 3, 2010
Author(s)
Jason P. Campbell
The gate dielectrics year-in-review includes a comprehensive examination of the past year s reports which detail gate stack reliability issues and the corresponding physical mechanisms which limit the performance and lifetimes of advanced devices. The

Novel CaF2 Nanocomposite with High Strength and F Ion Release

May 3, 2010
Author(s)
Hockin D. Xu, Jennifer L. Moreau, Limin Sun, Laurence Chow
Secondary caries and restoration fracture remain the two most common problems. The objectives of this study were to develop stress-bearing, fluoride-releasing nanocomposites. Novel CaF2 nanoparticles (56-nm) were synthesized via spray-drying and

Overview of the TREC-2009 Blog Track

May 3, 2010
Author(s)
Ian M. Soboroff, Craig Macdonald, Iadh Ounis
In TREC 2009, the Blog track has been markedly revamped with the use of a new and larger sample of the blogosphere, cal led Blogs08, which has a 13-month timespan covering a period ranging from 14th January 2008 to 10th February 2009, and the introdu c-

3D shape retrieval based on Multi-scale Integral Orientations

May 2, 2010
Author(s)
Afzal A. Godil, Stephane Bres, Asim Wagan
In this paper we describe a novel 3D shape retrieval method based on Multi-scale Integral Orientations. In our approach, a 3D model after normalization is represented by a set of depth images captured uniformly on a unit circle. Then the shape descriptor

Bilateral comparison of power measurement standards for KrF lasers between PTB and NIST

May 2, 2010
Author(s)
Marla L. Dowell, Christopher L. Cromer, Darryl A. Keenan, Stefan Kuck, Friedhelm Brandt
We report results of the first bilateral laser power comparison for 248-nm KrF excimer lasers accomplished by the National Metrology Institutes of Germany (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, PTB) and of the United States of America (National Institute

NBTI: Confusion, Frustration, and Promise?

May 2, 2010
Author(s)
Jason P. Campbell
The negative-bias temperature instability (NBTI) is a reliability problem that, in the last ten years, has risen from relative obscurity to become the most important reliability problem in advanced pMOSFET devices. Even though a significant effort has been

Product Modeling Framework and Language for Behavior Evaluation

May 2, 2010
Author(s)
Jae H. Lee, Steven J. Fenves, Conrad E. Bock, Hyo Won Suh, Sudarsan Rachuri, Xenia Fiorentini, Ram D. Sriram
Supporting different stakeholder viewpoints across the product s entire lifecycle requires semantic richness for representing product related information. This paper proposes a multi-layered product-modeling framework that enables stakeholders to define

SHREC '10 Track: Large Scale Retrieval

May 2, 2010
Author(s)
Zhouhui Lian, Afzal A. Godil, Geert-Jan Giezeman, Ryutarou Ohbuchi, Waqar Saleem, Takahiko Furuya, Thomas Baumbach, Hannah Bast, Joachim Giesen
We present the results of the ULDS track of the shape retrieval contest SHREC 2010. The task was to perform 40 queries in a dataset of 10000 shapes. We describe the methods used by the contestants and discuss the results.
