HBAR-Based 3.6GHz Oscillator with Low Power Consumption and Low Phase Noise

February 1, 2009
Author(s)
Hongyu Yu, Chuang-yuan Lee, Wei Pang, Hao Zhang, Alan Brannon, John E. Kitching, Eun Sok Kim
We have designed and built two oscillators, based on High-overtone Bulk Acoustic Resonators (HBAR) for application in Chip-Scale Atomic Clocks (CSAC). The measured phase noise of the 3.6-GHz oscillator is -67 dBc/Hz at 300 Hz offset and ?102 dBc/Hz at 10

Author(s)
Ken D. Hill, D. J. Gee, Christina D. Cross, Gregory F. Strouse
The use of liquid-in-glass thermometers is described in many documentary standards in the fields of environmental testing, material testing, and material transfer. Many national metrology institutes, including the National Institute of Standards and

ASME B89.4.19 Performance Evaluation Tests and Geometric Misalignments in Laser Trackers

January 30, 2009
Author(s)
Balasubramanian Muralikrishnan, Daniel S. Sawyer, Christopher J. Blackburn, Steven D. Phillips, Bruce R. Borchardt, William T. Estler
Small and unintended offsets, tilts, and eccentricity of the mechanical and optical components in laser trackers introduce systematic errors in the measured spherical coordinates (angles and range readings), and possibly in the calculated lengths of

Author(s)
Therese P. McAllister
Errata to the NIST Reports of the Federal Building and Fire Investigation of the World Trade Center Disaster,NCSTAR 1A, NIST NCSTAR 1-9, and NIST NCSTAR 1-9A. (January 2009, April 2012 and June 2012) These changes do not alter the findings, conclusions, or

Extending Measurement Science to Interactive Visualization Environments

Judith E. Terrill, William L. George, Terence J. Griffin, John G. Hagedorn, John T. Kelso, Thomas M. Olano, Adele P. Peskin, Steven G. Satterfield, James S. Sims, Jeffrey W. Bullard, Joy P. Dunkers, Nicos Martys, Agnes A. O'Gallagher, Gillian Haemer
We describe a method for creating a visual laboratory to interactively measure and analyze scientific data. We move the normal activities that scientists perform to understand their data into the visualization environment. The visualization environment is

GaN nanowire carrier concentration calculated from light and dark resistance measurements

January 30, 2009
Author(s)
Lorelle Mansfield, Kristine A. Bertness, Paul T. Blanchard, Todd E. Harvey, Aric W. Sanders, Norman A. Sanford
We obtained limits on the carrier concentration and mobility of silicon-doped gallium nitride nanowires at room temperature with light and dark resistance data. Current-voltage measurements were performed on single-nanowire devices in the dark and under

Half-life Measurements of Sr82

January 30, 2009
Author(s)
Leticia S. Pibida, Ryan P. Fitzgerald, Michael P. Unterweger, Michelle M. Hammond, Daniel B. Golas
Half-life measurements of 82Sr were performed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) using gamma-ray spectrometry and a 4 pressurized ionization chamber. The 82Sr half-life was determined to be 25.36 ± 0.03 days (k=1) using the

Interlaboratory Comparison Study of Serum Total Testosterone [corrected] Measurements Performed by Mass Spectrometry Methods

January 30, 2009
Author(s)
Susan S. Tai, Hubert W. Vesper, S. Bhasin, C. Wang, L. A. Dodge, R. J. Singh, J. Nelson, S. Ohorodnik, N. J. Clarke, W. A. Salameh, C. R. Parker, Jr., R. Razdan, E. A. Monsell, Gary L. Myers
BACKGROUND: Though mass spectrometry (MS) assays are increasingly used for routine clinical measurements of serum total testosterone (TT), information about the variability of results is limited. This study assessed the variability of TT measurement

Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy of Ruddlesden-Popper Sr(n+1)Ti(n)O(3n+1) (n= 1, 2, 3) Thin Films

Author(s)
Nathan D. Orloff, Ichiro Takeuchi, James C. Booth, Dazhen Gu, Jordi Mateu, C. J. Fennie, K. M. Rabe, W Tian, D.G. Schlom
We explore the frequency dependent permittivity of Ruddlesden-Popper series Sr(n+1)Ti(n)O(3n+1) (n= 1, 2, 3) thin films as a function of temperature and dc electric-field. Interdigitated capacitors and coplanar waveguides are used to extract the frequency
