The EtherNet/IP interoperability recommendations are a result of work generated by the ongoing series of EtherNet/IP Implementors Workshops. The recommendations were created to promote EtherNet/IP device interoperability through product functionality

Itinerant spin excitations near the hidden order transition in URu2Si2

April 22, 2009

J. A. Janik, H. D. Zhou, Y.-J. Jo, L. Balicas, G. J. MacDougall, G. M. Luke, J. D. Garrett, K. J. McClellan, E. D. Bauer, J. L. Sarrao, Yiming Qiu, John R. Copley, Z. Yamani, W. J. Buyers, C. R. Wiebe
By means of neutron scattering we show that the high-temperature precursor to the hidden order state of the heavy fermion superconductor URu 2Si 2 exhibits heavily damped incommensurate paramagnons whose strong energy dispersion is very similar to that of

Robust, conductive ordered mesoporous films based on carbon-silica composites

A microfabricated photonic magnetometer

April 20, 2009
Author(s)
Jan Preusser, Svenja A. Knappe, John Kitching, Vladislav Gerginov
We present initial measurements of an atomic magnetometer in which the microfabricated sensor head is coupled to the control system by optical fibers. Since there are no electrical connections, the sensor head is largely non-magnetic and degradation of the

Frequency comb spectroscopy with coherent optical sampling

April 20, 2009
Author(s)
Ian R. Coddington, Nathan R. Newbury, William C. Swann
A stabilized frequency comb provides a broadband array of highly resolved comb lines. Using a multiheterodyne technique, we measure the amplitude and phase of every comb line, allowing for massively parallel, high-resolution spectroscopy.

Markov Chain Analysis for Large-Scale Grid Systems

April 20, 2009
Author(s)
Christopher E. Dabrowski, Fern Y. Hunt
In large-scale grid systems with decentralized control, the interactions of many service providers and consumers will likely lead to emergent global system behaviours that result in unpredictable, often detrimental outcomes. This possibility argues for

A Ferroelectric Oxide Directly on Silicon

Joseph C. Woicik, Maitri P. Warusawithana, Cheng Cen, Charles R. Sleasman, Yulan Li, Jeffery Kluga, Lena F. Kourkoutis, Hao Li, Li-Peng Wang, Michael Bedzyk, David A. Muller, Long-Qing Chen, Jeremy Levy, Darrell G. Schlom
Silicon and silicon dioxide form what is arguably the most important technological interface. With the end of Moore s-law scaling for silicon fast approaching, alternatives to silicon dioxide are being pursued that may enable new device architectures and

Advancing Manufacturing Research Through Competitions

April 17, 2009
Author(s)
Stephen B. Balakirsky, Rajmohan Madhavan
Competitions provide a technique for building interest and collaboration in targeted research areas. This paper will present a new competition that aims to increase collaboration amongst Universities, automation end-users, and automation manufacturers

High Fidelity Transport of Trapped-Ion Qubits through an X-Junction Trap Array

April 17, 2009
Author(s)
Brad R. Blakestad, Aaron Vandevender, Christian Ospelkaus, Jason Amini, Joseph W. Britton, Dietrich G. Leibfried, David J. Wineland
Trapped ions are a useful system for studying the elements of quantum information processing. Simple alogrithms have been demonstrated, but scaling to much larter tasks requires the ability to manipulate many qubits. To achieve this, ions could be

Probing interactions between ultracold fermions

April 17, 2009
Author(s)
G K. Campbell, M M. Boyd, J W. Thomsen, M J. Martin, S Blatt, M D. Swallows, Travis L. Nicholson, Tara Fortier, Christopher W. Oates, Scott Diddams, Nathan D. Lemke, Pascal Naidon, Paul S. Julienne, Jun Ye, Andrew Ludlow
At ultracold temperatures, the Pauli exclusion principle suppresses collisions between identical fermions. This has motivated the development of atomic clocks using fermionic isotopes. However, by probing an optical clock transition with thousands of

Electromagnetically induced transparency in a superconducting three-level system

April 16, 2009
Author(s)
Mika Sillanpaa, Katarina Cicak, Fabio Altomare, Jae Park, Raymond Simmonds, Jian Li, G. S. Paraoanu, Pertti Hakonen
When a three-level quantum system is irradiated by an intense coupling field resonant with two of the three possible transitions, the resonant absorption of the system from its ground state by an additional radiation field is suppressed. This effect, where
