Thermographic Measurements of the Commercial Laser Powder Bed Fusion Process at NIST

August 27, 2015
Author(s)
Brandon M. Lane, Shawn P. Moylan, Eric P. Whitenton, Li Ma
Measurement of the high-temperature melt pool region in the laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) process is a primary focus of researchers to further understand the dynamic physics of the heating, melting, adhesion, and cooling which define this commercially

High Throughput Screening of Substrates for Synthesis and Functionalization of 2D Materials

August 26, 2015
Author(s)
Arunima Singh, Albert Davydov, Kiran Mathew, Richard G. Hennig, Francesca M. Tavazza
Several 2D materials have been synthesized experimentally, but many theoretically predicted 2D materials are yet to be synthesized. Here, we will review a density-functional theory based framework to enable high-throughput screening of suitable substrates

Wetting-Dewetting and Dispersion-Aggregation Transitions are Distinct for Polymer Grafted Nanoparticles in Chemically Dissimilar Polymer Matrix

August 26, 2015
Author(s)
Tyler B. Martin, Katrina Irene S. Mongcopa, Rana N. Ashkar, Paul Butler, Ramanan Krishnamoorti, Arthi Jayaraman
Simulations and experiments are conducted on polymer mixtures (or blends) containing polymer grafted nanoparticles in a chemically distinct polymer matrix, where the graft and matrix polymers exhibit attractive enthalpic interactions. Both coarse-grained

Direct Observation of Critical Adsorption on Colloidal Particles

August 25, 2015
Author(s)
Christopher E Bertrand, P. D. Godfrin, Yun Liu
Despite the fundamental role adsorbed solvent layers play in generating critical Casimir forces between colloidal particles, the structure of these layers has yet to be directly determined. Using small-angle neutron scattering ,we have measured critical

Re-Certification of SRM 2492: Bingham Paste Mixture for Rheological Measurements

August 25, 2015
Author(s)
Chiara F. Ferraris, Alex Olivas, William F. Guthrie, Blaza Toman
Rheological measurements are often performed using a rotational rheometer. In this type of rheometer, the tested fluid is sheared between two surfaces, one of which is rotating [1]. Usually, an angular velocity is imposed on the fluid (through the rotating

Diffraction limited focusing and directing of gap plasmons by a metal-dielectric-metal lens

August 24, 2015
Author(s)
Brian S. Dennis, David Czaplewski, Michael Haftel, Daniel Lopez, Girsh Blumberg, Vladimir Aksyuk
Passive optical elements can play key roles in photonic applications such as plasmonic integrated circuits. Here we experimentally demonstrate passive gap-plasmon focusing and directing in two-dimensions. This is accomplished using a high numerical

Investigation of PMU Response to Leap Second: 2015

August 24, 2015
Author(s)
Allen R. Goldstein, Dhananjay Anand, YaShian Li-Baboud
Between 22:30:00 June 30, 2015, and 00:30:00 July 2, 2015, UTC, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) tested eight Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) to investigate their response to the leap second adjustment to UTC which occurred

Microcalorimeter Spectroscopy at High Pulse Rates: a Multi-Pulse Fitting Technique

August 24, 2015
Author(s)
Joseph W. Fowler, Bradley K. Alpert, William B. Doriese, Young Il Joe, Galen C. O'Neil, Cherno Jaye, Joel N. Ullom, Daniel A. Fischer, Daniel S. Swetz
Transition edge sensor microcalorimeters can measure x-ray and gamma-ray energies with very high energy resolution and high photon-collection efficiency. For this technology to reach its full potential in future x-ray observatories, each sensor must be

Standards Landscape and Directions for Smart Manufacturing Systems

August 24, 2015
Author(s)
Yan Lu, Katherine C. Morris, Simon P. Frechette
The future of manufacturing lies in being able to adapt quickly to changing conditions. From smaller lot sizes, to more customization, to sudden changes in supply chain, the variability that manufacturers face is rapidly increasing. The key to enabling
