Laser Cooled Atoms as a Focused Ion Beam Source

December 21, 2006
Author(s)
James L. Hanssen, Jabez 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

Nucleation conditions for catalyst-free GaN nanowires

December 8, 2006
Author(s)
Kristine A. Bertness, Alexana Roshko, Lorelle Mansfield, Todd E. Harvey, Norman Sanford
We have examined the initial steps for catalyst-free growth of GaN using molecular beam epitaxy on Si (111) substrates using AlN buffer layers. These wires form spontaneously under high N-to-Ga ratios for a growth temperature range of about 810 to 830 °C

Changes in Electronic Structure of the Electrochemically Li-Ion Deintercalated LiNiO 2 System Investigated by Soft X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy

December 7, 2006
Author(s)
W S. Yoon, Kyung Y. Chung, James McBreen, Daniel A. Fischer, Xiao-Qing Yang
The electronic structures of Li1-xNiO2 system after electrochemically delithiated to various x values have been investigated using soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) for oxygen K-edge and Ni LII,III-edge. By comparing the O K-edge XAS spectra of Li1

Nonparametric Analysis of Fingerprint Data on Large Data Sets

December 7, 2006
Author(s)
Jin Chu Wu, Charles Wilson
By executing different fingerprint-image matching algorithms on large data sets, it reveals that the match and non-match similarity scores have no specific underlying distribution function. Thus, it requires a nonparametric analysis for fingerprint-image
