Enhancing Image Contrast Using Coherent States and Photon Number Resolving Detectors

March 15, 2010
Author(s)
Aaron Pearlman, Alexander E. Ling, Elizabeth A. Goldschmidt, Jingyun Fan, Christoph Wildfeuer, Alan L. Migdall
We experimentally map the transverse profile of diffraction-limited beams using photon number resolving detectors. We observe strong compression of diffracted beam profiles for high detected photon number. This effect leads to higher contrast than a

March 15, 2010
Author(s)
Mariona Coll Bau, Oana Jurchescu, Nadine Gergel-Hackett, Curt A. Richter, Christina Hacker
Flip Chip Lamination approach to fabricate top metal contacts on organic-based devices ; M.Coll, O.D. Jurchescu, N. Gergel-Hackett, C.A. Richter, C,A, Hacker, American Physical Society (APS), March 2010, Portland, OR, USA (oral)

Investigation of Gd3N@C2n family by Raman and inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy

March 15, 2010
Author(s)
James G. Kushmerick, Brian G. Burke, Tsz-Wah Chan, Keith A. Williams, Jiechao Ge, Chunying Shu, Wujun Fu, Harry C. Dorn, Alexander Puretzky, David B. Geohegan
The structure and vibrational spectrum of Gd3N@C80 is studied through Raman and inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) as well as density functional theory (DFT) and universal force field (UFF) calculations. Hindered rotations, shown by both

Neutron radioscopy: industrial and scientific applications

March 15, 2010
Author(s)
Daniel Hussey, Michael A. Hickner
Neutron imaging has been a unique, precise, measurement tool for water transport in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), enabling the direct measurement of the water distribution in standard, commercially viable fuel cell hardware. Thus, in the

The Color Quality Scale

March 15, 2010
Author(s)
Wendy L. Davis, Yoshihiro Ohno
The Color Rendering Index (CRI) has been shown to have deficiencies when applied to white light-emitting diode (LED) based sources. Further, evidence suggests that the restricted scope of the CRI unnecessarily penalizes some light sources with desirable

Reflective attenuators for high energy laser measurements

March 14, 2010
Author(s)
John H. Lehman, David J. Livigni, Christopher L. Cromer, Xiaoyu X. Li, Marla L. Dowell
A high-energy laser attenuator in the range of 250 mJ (20 nsec pulse width, 10 Hz repetition rate, 1064 nm, 1574 nm wavelengths) is described. The optical elements that constitute the attenuator are mirrors with relatively low reflectance, oriented at 45°

Interoperability Test of IEEE 1451.5 Standard-Based Wireless Sensors

March 13, 2010
Author(s)
Kang B. Lee, Yuyin Song
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1451 standard provides plug-and-play capability of smart transducers (sensors and actuators). Plug-and-play is an important aspect of interoperability, which is the ability of two or more systems

Uncertainties in Electron Probe Microanalysis

March 12, 2010
Author(s)
Ryna B. Marinenko, Stefan D. Leigh
This tutorial discusses the importance of citing valid uncertainties when reporting analytical results and the need for a universally accepted approach for evaluating uncertainties. Today, the CIPM procedure has been accepted by numerous international

Grating-Enhanced Narrow-Band Spontaneous Parametric Down Conversion

March 10, 2010
Author(s)
Xiao Tang, Lijun Ma
We propose a new method to narrow the linewidth of entangled photons from spontaneous parametric down conversion incorporated with an internal Bragg grating. We study and show that it is a promising way to generate narrow-line entangled photons.

Manipulation of crystallinity boundary via process space investigations of pulsed laser deposited high-k HfO2-TiO2-Y2O3 combinatorial thin films

March 10, 2010
Author(s)
Jennifer L. Klamo, Peter K. Schenck, Peter G. Burke, Kao-Shuo Chang, Martin L. Green
Combinatorial library films of HfO2-TiO2-Y2O3, a high-k dielectric system, grown by pulsed laser deposition, exhibit visible boundary lines separating amorphous and crystalline phases. By changing processing space parameters, specifically substrate

Molecular Simulation Study of Anisotropic Wetting

March 10, 2010
Author(s)
Eric M. Grzelak, Vincent K. Shen, Jeffrey R. Errington
We study anisotropic wetting in systems governed by Lennard-Jones interactions. Molecular simulation is used to obtain the macroscopic contact angle a fluid adopts on face-centered-, body-centered-, and simple-cubic lattices with the (100), (110), or (111)

Theta-like specimen to determine tensile strength at the micro-scale

March 10, 2010
Author(s)
Michael S. Gaither, Frank W. DelRio, Richard S. Gates, Edwin R. Fuller, Robert F. Cook
Micro- and nano-electromechanical systems are typically formed via lithographic and etching processes that leave residual surface features, stresses, and chemistry that ultimately control component strength and device reliability. Here, we describe a new

Synthesis of Photoactive Magnetic Nanoparticles with Atomic Layer Deposition

March 8, 2010
Author(s)
Yun Zhou, David M. King, Jianhua Li, Kathryn S. Barrett, Ronald B. Goldfarb, Alan W. Weimer
Iron-based magnetic nanoparticles have been produced by decomposition of iron oxalate powder. The micron-sized iron oxalate powder was first ground using a cryogenic milling process. A titanium dioxide (TiO 2) thin film was then deposited on the

Thin lm dielectric microstrip kinetic inductance detectors

March 8, 2010
Author(s)
David P. Pappas, Jiansong Gao, Benjamin Mazin, Daniel Sank, Erik Lucero, John M. Martinis, Andrew Merrill, Sunil Golwala, David Moore, Jonas Zmuidzinas
Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors, or MKIDs, are a type of low temperature detector that exhibit intrinsic frequency domain multiplexing at microwave frequencies. We present theory and measurements on a new type of MKID based on a microstrip

Vertically Graded Anisotropy in Co/Pd Multilayers

March 8, 2010
Author(s)
Brian J. Kirby, Joseph E. Davies, Kai Liu, Shannon Watson, G. T. Zimanyi, Robert D. Shull, Paul A. Kienzle, Julie A. Borchers
It has been theoretically predicted that depth-grading the magnetic anisotropy in perpendicular magnetic media should reduce the field required to write data, without affecting the thermal stability. To study this prediction, we have produced a series of
