3:1 Magnetization Plateau and Suppression of Ferroelectric Polarization in an Ising Chain Multiferroic

January 26, 2009
Author(s)
Y.-J. Jo, Seoungsu Lee, E. Choi, H. Yi, William D. Ratcliff, Y. Choi, V. Kiryukhin, S.-W. Cheong, L. Balicas
Ferroelectric Ising chain magnet Ca3Co2−xMnxO6 (x≃0.96) was studied in magnetic fields of up to 33 T. Magnetization and neutron-scattering measurements reveal successive metamagnetic transitions from the zero-field ↑↑↓↓ spin configuration to the ↑↑↑↓ state

Origin and Tuning of the Magnetocaloric Effect in the Magnetic Refrigerant Mn1.1Fe0.9(P0.8Ge0.2)

January 26, 2009
Author(s)
Danmin Liu, Ming Yue, Jiuxing Zhang, T. M. McQueen, Jeffrey Lynn, Xiaolu Wang, Ying Chen, Jiying Li, R. J. Cava, X. Liu, Zaven Altounian, Qingzhen Huang
Neutron-diffraction and magnetization measurements have been carried out on a series of samples of the magnetorefrigerant Mn1+yFe1−yP1−xGex. The data reveal that the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases correspond to two very distinct crystal structures

Local Bounds on Effective Hamiltonians for Stabilizer Codes

January 22, 2009
Author(s)
Stephen Bullock, Dianne M. O'Leary
This paper introduces various notion of k-locality of stabilizer codes inherited from the associated stabilizer groups. A choice of generators for the group leads to a Hamiltonian with the code in its groundspace, while a Hamiltonian holding the code in

Nuclear quadrupole resonances in compact vapor cells: The crossover between the NMR and the nuclear quadrupole resonance interaction regimes

January 22, 2009
Author(s)
Elizabeth A. Donley, Jonathan Long, Tara C. Liebisch, Eleanor Hodby, Ted Fisher, John E. Kitching
We trace the transformation of I = 3/2 131-Xe nuclear spin resonances from the pure nuclear quadrupole regime to the quadrupole-perturbed Zeeman regime. We achieve large nuclear quadrupole shifts by using a 1mm 3 cubic cell with walls of different

Fire Fighting Tactics under Wind Driven Conditions: Laboratory Experiments

January 21, 2009
Author(s)
Daniel M. Madrzykowski, Stephen Kerber
Eight full scale experiments were conducted to examine the impact of wind on fire spread through a multi-room structure and examine the capabilities of wind control devices (WCD) and externally applied water streams to mitigate the hazard. The principle

Information Technology Laboratory Brochure

January 21, 2009
Author(s)
Elizabeth B. Lennon
This brochure describes the Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) at NIST, including mission, core competencies, resources, products, and customers. It details ITL's eight programs and concludes with contact information.

Simple Connections in Alkali Adsorption

January 21, 2009
Author(s)
John William Gadzuk
Stimulated by recent two-photon photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) studies by Petek and coworkers, a retrospective look at some fundamentals in the theory of ionic alkali adsorption on metal surfaces is presented that provides a

Thermal Decomposition Kinetics of Propylcyclohexane

January 21, 2009
Author(s)
Jason A. Widegren, Thomas J. Bruno
As part of a large-scale thermophysical property measurement project, the decomposition kinetics of propylcyclohexane was investigated. Decomposition reactions were performed at 375, 400, 425, and 450 °C in stainless steel ampoule reactors. At each

Introducing "Insecure IT"

January 20, 2009
Author(s)
David R. Kuhn, Hart Rossman, Simon Liu
This article introduces a new department for IT Professional that will cover security in IT systems, ranging from desktops to global e-commerce networks. Our goal is to offer ideas to improve IT security, both by looking at ways it can go wrong as well as

Properties of Smoke from Overheated Materials in Low-Gravity

January 20, 2009
Author(s)
David L. Urban, Gary A. Ruff, Thomas Cleary, Jiann Yang, George Mulholland, Zeng-guang Yuan
Smoke particle size measurements were obtained under low-gravity conditions by overheating several materials typical of those found in spacecraft. The measurements included integral measurements of the smoke particles and physical sample of the particles

Dimensional measurement traceability of 3D imaging data

January 19, 2009
Author(s)
Steven D. Phillips, Craig M. Shakarji, Michael Krystek, K Summerhays
This paper discusses the concept of metrological traceability to the SI unit of length, the meter. We describe how metrological traceability is realized, give a recent example of the standardization of laser trackers, and discuss progress and challenges to

Target Penetration of Laser-Based 3D Imaging Systems

January 19, 2009
Author(s)
Geraldine S. Cheok, Kamel S. Saidi, Marek Franaszek
The ASTM E57.02 Test Methods Subcommittee is developing a test method to evaluate the ranging performance of a 3D imaging system. The test method will involve either measuring the distance between two targets or between an instrument and a target. The

Predicting Failure in Mammalian Enamel

January 16, 2009
Author(s)
Brian R. Lawn, James J. Lee, Paul Constantino, Peter Lucas
Dentition is a vital element of human and animal function, yet there is little fundamental knowledge about how tooth enamel endures under stringent oral conditions. This paper describes a novel approach to the issue. Model glass dome specimens fabricated

Bifurcations, Center Manifolds, and Periodic Solutions

January 15, 2009
Author(s)
David E. Gilsinn
Nonlinear time delay differential equations are well known to have arisen in models in physiology, biology, and population dynamics. They have also arisen in models of metal cutting processes. Machine tool chatter, from a process called regenerative

Creating a supersolid in one-dimensional Bose mixtures

January 15, 2009
Author(s)
Ludwig G. Mathey, Ippei Danshita, Charles W. Clark
We identify a one-dimensional supersolid phase in a binary mixture of near-hardcore bosons with weak, local interspecies repulsion. We find realistic conditions under which such a phase, defined here as the coexistence of quasi-superfluidity and quasi
