Author(s)
William C. Griffith, Ricardo Jimenez Martinez, Vishal Shah, Svenja A. Knappe, John E. Kitching
A major limitation on the sensitivity of alkali atomic magnetometers, spin-exchange relaxation, can be completely eliminated by operating at low magnetic field and high alkali density. This allows the miniaturization of atomic magnetometers while retaining

Author(s)
William F. Egelhoff Jr., John E. Bonevich, Philip Pong, John Unguris, Robert D. McMichael, Gery R. Stafford, Carlos R. Beauchamp
The buildup of stress with increasing thickness of magnetic thin films is a common phenomenon that often induces undesirable saturation fields that can convert an otherwise magnetically soft film into a magnetically hard one. We have found that by

We report the synthesis and temperature dependent transport properties of a new type II germanium clathrate, Cs8Na16Cu5Ge131 (space group Fd3m; a = 15.42000(9) ) . In comparison to the parent compound Cs8Na16Ge136, Cu substitution for Ge on the clathrate

Laser-produced X-Ray Sources

January 12, 2009
Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, J Seely
A formidable array of advanced laser systems are emerging that produce extreme states of light and matter. By irradiating solid and gaseous targets with lasers of increasing energy densities, new physical regimes of radiation effects are being explored for

Slap Fingerprint Segmentation Evaluation II - Procedures and Results

January 12, 2009
Author(s)
Craig I. Watson
In 2004, NIST conducted a fingerprint slap segmentation study [1] to assess the state-of-the-art in fingerprint segmentation technology. Given the development of new technology it has become necessary to reassess the current state-of-the-art of

Striped Domains at the Pentacene:C 60 Interface

January 12, 2009
Author(s)
Dan B. Dougherty, W Jin, J Cullen, J Reutt-Robey, Steven W. Robey
STM observations of the initial growth stages of the first layer of pentacene on a monolayer film of C60 on Ag(111) are presented. Pentacene films nucleate and grow with molecules standing up at the Pentacene:C60 interface similar to the well known thin
