2nd Annual Tri-National Workshop on Standards for Nanotechnology - (NIST presentations)

December 10, 2008
Author(s)
Ronald G. Dixson, Jon R. Pratt, Vincent A. Hackley, James E. Potzick, Richard A. Allen, Ndubuisi G. Orji, Michael T. Postek, Herbert S. Bennett, Theodore V. Vorburger, Jeffrey A. Fagan, Robert L. Watters
A new era of cooperation between North American National Measurement Institutes (NMIs) was ushered by the National Research Council of Canada Institute for National Measurement Standards (NRC-INMS) on February 7, 2007 when the first Tri-National workshop

MATRIX RELAXATION AFTER FRACTURE IN A TOUGHENED EPOXY

December 10, 2008
Author(s)
Aaron M. Forster, Cyril Clerici, Donald L. Hunston
An efficient method to increase the Mode I fracture energy of a polymer adhesive is to incorporate a rubbery phase within the glassy matrix. In general, the failure surface of a toughened polymer is characterized by cavitated rubber particles and plastic

Rotationally Resolved Studies of the Exciton Coupled S1/S2 Origin Regions of Diphenylmethane and the d12 Isotopologue

December 9, 2008
Author(s)
David F. Plusquellic, Kevin O. Douglass, Jaime Stearns, Nathan Pillsbury, Timothy Zwier, Christian Muller
Rotationally resolved microwave and ultraviolet spectra of jet-cooled diphenylmethane (DPM) and DPM-d^12 have been obtained in S 0, Sd1 and S2 electronic states using Fourier-transform microwave and UV laser/molecular beam spectrometers. The S0 and S1

Scatterometry for in situ measurement of pattern reflow in nanoimprinted polymers

December 9, 2008
Author(s)
Heather J. Patrick, Thomas A. Germer, Yifu Ding, Hyun Wook Ro, Lee J. Richter, Christopher L. Soles
We use optical scatterometry to extract the time evolution of the profile of nanoimprinted lines in low and high molecular mass polymer gratings during reflow at the glass transition temperature. The data are obtained continuously during the anneal using a

Development of backlighting sources for Compton radiography diagnostic of Inertial Confinement Fusion targets.

December 8, 2008
Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, A. Tommasini, A MacPhee, D. Hey, T Ma, C. Chen, N Izimi, W Unites, A. MacKinnon, P. Hatchett, B.A. Remington, H.S. Park, P. Springer, J. Koch, O.L. Landen, John F. Seely, G Holland
We present scaled demonstrations of backlighter sources, emitting Bremsstrahlung x rays with photon energies above 75 keV, that we will use to record x-ray Compton radiographic snapshots of cold dense DT fuel in inertial confinement fusion implosions at

Dislocation nucleation during nanoindentation of aluminum

December 8, 2008
Author(s)
Richard J. Wagner, Li Ma, Francesca M. Tavazza, Lyle E. Levine
Through multiscale simulations, we explore the influence of an atomically-rough indenter tip on the nucleation of dislocations during nanoindentation of single-crystal aluminum. We model the long-range strain with finite element analysis using anisotropic

HCI Reduced Barriers in Magnetic Tunnel Junctions

December 7, 2008
Author(s)
Joshua M. Pomeroy, Holger Grube
In this paper, the use of tunnel junctions as sensors for determining the interaction strength between highly charged ions (HCIs) and ultra-thin insulating films is experimentally explored. HCIs are known to strongly ablate insulating materials upon

Measuring the Effectiveness of the s-Metric to Produce Better Network Models

December 7, 2008
Author(s)
Isabel M. Beichl, Brian D. Cloteaux
Recent research has shown that while many complex networks follow a power-law distribution for their vertex degrees, it is not sufficient to model these networks based only on their degree distribution. In order to better distinguish between these networks

Infrared emission imaging as a tool for characterization of hydrogen storage materials

December 6, 2008
Author(s)
H. Oguchi, Edwin J. Heilweil, Daniel Josell, Leonid A. Bendersky
Combinatorial thin films provide an opportunity for studying a variety of properties over a wide range of compositions and microstructures on a single substrate, allowing substantial acceleration of both the fabrication and study of materials and their

A review of time and frequency transfer methods

December 5, 2008
Author(s)
Judah Levine
I will discuss three methods of transmitting time and frequency information: one-way, two-way and common-view. I will describe the advantages and limitations of the different methods including ncertainty estimates for systems that are based on them.

Improvements to the NIST Network Time Protocol Servers

December 5, 2008
Author(s)
Judah Levine
The National Institute of Standards and Technology operates 22 network time servers at various locations. These servers respond to requests for time in a number of different formats, and provide time stamps that are directly traceable to the NIST atomic

Realizing UTC (NIST) at a Remote Location

December 5, 2008
Author(s)
Judah Levine
I will describe the backup time scale system that I have constructed at the site of the NIST radio stations near Fort Collins, Colorado, and I will compare its performance to the primary ensemble in Boulder. The Fort Collins system is designed to be a

Silicon Nanowire NVM Cell Using High-k Dielectric Charge Storage Layer

December 5, 2008
Author(s)
Xiaoxiao Zhu, Yang Yang, Qiliang Li, D. E. Ioannou, John S. Suehle, Curt A. Richter
Si nanowire (SiNW) channel non-volatile memory (NVM) cells were fabricated by a 'self-alignment' process. First, a layer of thermal SiO2 was grown on a silicon wafer by dry oxidation, and the SiNWs were then grown by chemical vapor deposition in pre

A New Shape Benchmark for 3D Object Retrieval

December 3, 2008
Author(s)
Rui Fang, Afzal A. Godil, Xiaolan Li, Asim Wagan
Recently, content based 3D shape retrieval has drawn more and more attention by researchers. How to properly evaluate the result of shape searching algorithms is important. Benchmarking is one answer to this question. Due to the limitations of current

An Interaction-based Test Sequence Generation Approach for Testing Web Applications

December 3, 2008
Author(s)
Wenhua Wang, Sreedevi Sampath, Yu Lei, Raghu N. Kacker
Web applications often use dynamic pages that interact with each other by accessing shared objects, e.g., session objects. Interactions between dynamic pages need to be carefully tested, as they may give rise to subtle faults that cannot be detected by

Bio-Imaging Toolkit for Indexing, Searching, Navigation, Discovery and Annotation

December 3, 2008
