Spinor Dynamics in an Antiferromagnetic Spin-1 Condensate

August 16, 2007
Author(s)
A T. Black, Eduardo Gomez, Lincoln Turner, Sebastian Jung, Paul D. Lett
We observed coherent spin oscillations in an antiferromagnetic spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate of sodium. The variation of the spin oscillations with magnetic field shows a clear signature of nonlinearity, in agreement with theoretical predictions that

Two-Phonon Infrared Spectra of Si and Ge: Calculating and Assigning Features

August 16, 2007
Author(s)
Eric L. Shirley, Hadley Lawler
Third-order density-functional perturbation theory yields the terahertz/far-infrared absorption spectra for silicon and germanium, including all two-phonon combination and difference features. Temperature-dependent spectra are compared to available

A Study of Comparability in AFLP Profiling Using a Simple Model System

August 15, 2007
Author(s)
Lina Partis, M J. Burns, Koichi Chiba, Ph Corbisier, Marcia J. Holden, J. Wang, Qing Y. Liu, Tomoya Okunishi, Sang-Ryoul Park, Maxim Vonsky, K R. Emslie
A simple AFLP model, using the relatively small bacteriophage lambda genome, was developed to test the reproducibility of this technique in an international study, CCQM-P53. Using either non-selective or selective primers, 9 fragments or a subset of 1 to 3

Collaborative Augmented Reality for Better Standards

August 15, 2007
Author(s)
Matthew L. Aronoff, John V. Messina
Concurrent engineering depends on clear communication between all members of the development process. As that communication becomes more and more complex -- including not only textual descriptions, but CAD models, diagnostic data, process control data, and

Facial Respirator Shape Analysis using 3D Anthropometric Head Data

August 15, 2007
Author(s)
Riley Fenlon
For firefighters and first response crews, the facial respirator is the first and last defense against hazardous and potentially harmful airborne agents. That defense is crippled if the seal of the respirator sprouts a leak, exposing the wearer to the

Demonstration of high-performance chip-scale magnetic shields

August 14, 2007
Author(s)
Elizabeth A. Donley, Eleanor Hodby, Leo W. Hollberg, John E. Kitching
We have designed and tested a set of five miniature nested magnetic shields constructed of high-permeability material, with volumes ranging from 0.01 to 2.5 cm^3. We present measurements of the longitudinal and transverse shielding factors (the ratio of

Relaxation Behavior of Polymer Structures Fabricated by Nanoimprint Lithography

August 14, 2007
Author(s)
Yifu Ding, Hyun Wook Ro, Thomas A. Germer, Jack F. Douglas, Brian C. Okerberg, Alamgir Karim, Christopher L. Soles
We study the decay of the imprinted polystyrene (PS) patterns under thermal annealing using light diffraction. The first order diffraction intensity from the imprinted gratings was measured as a function of annealing time. Local intensity maximum is

Where EAP Security Claims Fail

August 14, 2007
Author(s)
Katrin Hoeper, Lei Chen
The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is widely used as an authentication framework to control the access to wireless networks, e.g. in IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.16 networks. In this paper, we discuss limitations of EAP security and demonstrate how

Instability of Flatband Voltage in HfO2 Gate Stack Structures under Reducing/Oxidizing Annealing Conditions

August 13, 2007
Author(s)
K Ohmori, P Ahmet, M Yoshitake, T Chikyow, K Shiraishi, K Yamabe, H Watanabe, Y Akasaka, Kao-Shuo Chang, Martin L. Green, K Yamada
We have applied a combinatorial approach to fabricate work function (WF) tuned Pt-W alloy films and used the films as metal electrodes for HfO2/SiO2/Si capacitors. As the ratio RPt of Pt to W changes from 0 to 1, the WF value varies continuously from 4.7

Selectable Resistance-Area Product by Dilute Highly Charged Ion Irradiation

August 13, 2007
Author(s)
Joshua M. Pomeroy, Holger Grube, A C. Perrella, John D. Gillaspy
In order to provide high performance read heads for future hard drive densities, considerable effort worldwide has been invested in developing techniques for producing low resistance area product (RA) magnetic tunnel junction sensors. In this letter, we

Correlated photon-pair generation in reverse-proton-exchange PPLN waveguides with integrated mode demultiplexer at 10 GHz clock

August 6, 2007
Author(s)
Qiang Zhang, Xiuping Xie, Hiroki Takesue, Sae Woo Nam, Carsten Langrock, M. M. Fejer, Yoshihisa Yamamoto
We report 10-ps correlated photon pair generation in periodically-poled reverse-proton-exchange lithium niobate waveguides with integrated mode demultiplexer at a wavelength of 1.5-υm and a clock of 10 GHz. Using superconducting single photon detectors, we

Coupling Nanowire Chemiresistors With Microhotplate Platforms for Advanced Gas Sensing

August 6, 2007
Author(s)
Douglas C. Meier, Stephen Semancik, Bradley Button, Eugene Strelcov, Andrei Kilmakov
Recent advances in nanotechnology have yielded new materials and structures that offer great potential for improving sensitivity, selectivity and stability of the next generation of chemical gas sensors. To successfully fabricate practical devices, the
