NIST Handbook 150-18 NVLAP Fasteners and Metals: 2006 Edition

December 22, 2006
Author(s)
Thomas R. Davis
NIST Handbook 150-18 presents technical requirements and guidance for the accreditation of laboratories under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program(NVLAP)Fasteners and Metals Program. It is intended for information and use by accredited

Elastic mapping and quantitative nanoscale modulus measurements of SnO2 nanobelts

December 21, 2006
Author(s)
Yuegui Zheng, Robert E. Geer, Malgorzata Kopycinska-Mueller, Donna C. Hurley
A comparative study of the elastic uniformity and modulus of single-crystal SnO2 nanobelts is presented employing two nondestructive techniques based on atomic force microscopy: differential ultrasonic force microscopy (d-UFM) and atomic force acoustic

Is NO 3 Formed During the Decomposition of Nitramine Explosives?

December 21, 2006
Author(s)
Karl K. Irikura, Russell D. Johnson III
Quantum chemistry calculations reveal that it is both thermodynamically and kinetically reasonable to produce NO3 (nitrate radical) during the thermal decomposition of RDX (1,3,5-trinitrohexahydro-s-triazine) and other nitramines. However, experimental

Laser Cooled Atoms as a Focused Ion Beam Source

December 21, 2006
Author(s)
James L. Hanssen, Jabez J. McClelland, E Dakin, M Jacka
The evolving field of nanofabrication demands that more precise fabrication and evaluation tools be developed. We describe a method for creating a high quality focused ion beam with enhanced capabilities using an ion source based on laser-cooled neutral

Evaluation Campaigns and TRECvid

December 20, 2006
Author(s)
Alan Smeaton, Paul D. Over, Wessel Kraaij
The TREC Video Retrieval Evaluation (TRECvid) is an international benchmarking activity to encourage research in video information retrieval by providing a large test collection, uniform scoring procedures, and a forum for organizations interested in

Manipulation of magnetic particles by patterned arrays of magnetic spin-valve traps

December 20, 2006
Author(s)
Elizabeth Mirowksi, John M. Moreland, Stephen E. Russek, Michael J. Donahue
A novel magnetic for microfluidic manipulation of magnetic particles is discussed. The particles are confined by an array of magnetic spin valves with bistable ferromagnetic "ON" and antiferromagnetic "OFF" net magnetization states. The switchable fringing

Single-photon detection using a quantum dot optically gated field-effect transistor with high internal quantum efficiency

December 19, 2006
Author(s)
Mary A. Rowe, Eric Gansen, Marion Greene, Danna Rosenberg, Robert Hadfield, Todd E. Harvey, Sae Woo Nam, Mark Su, Richard Mirin
We investigate the operation of a quantum dot, optically gated, field-effect transistor as a photon detector. The detector exhibits time-gated, single-shot, single-photon sensitivity, a linear response, and an internal quantum efficiency of up to [68±18] %

Quantum key distribution at 1550 nm with twin superconducting single-photon detectors

December 15, 2006
Author(s)
Robert Hadfield, Jonathan L. Habif, John Schlafer, Robert E. Schwall, Sae Woo Nam
The authors report on the full implementation of a superconducting detector technology in a fiber-based quantum key distribution (QKD) link. Nanowire-based superconducting single-photon detectors (SSPDs) offer single-photon detection with low dark counts

Office of Microelectronics Programs (Programs, Activities and Accomplishments)

December 14, 2006
Author(s)
Stephen Knight, Joaquin (. Martinez, Michele L. Buckley
The microelectronics industry supplies vital components to the electronics industry and to the U.S. economy, enabling rapid improvements in productivity and in new high technology growth industries such as electronic commerce and biotechnology. The

Photocurable Oil/Water Interfaces as a Universal Platform for 2-D Self-Assembly

December 14, 2006
Author(s)
Jason Benkoski, Ronald L. Jones, Jack F. Douglas, Alamgir Karim
We present a novel platform for the creation of 2-D assemblies from nanoscale building blocks. The system consists of an oil/water interface in which the oil phase can be flash-cured upon UV exposure. The photopolymerizable material, 1,12-dodecanediol
