Comparisons by PTB, NIST, and LNE-LADG in Air and Natural Gas With Critical Venturi Nozzles Agree Within 0.05 %

May 16, 2006
Author(s)
B Mickan, Roland H. Kraemer, D Dopheide, Hans-Jurgen Hotze, Heino-Michael Hinze, Aaron Johnson, John D. Wright, J-P Vallet
The PTB, NIST, and LNE-LADG conducted a comparison of gas flow measurement standards in air and natural gas in the pressure range from 0.9 to 42 bar. The artifacts used in the intercomparisons were four critical venturis with ISO standard toroidal shape

Diverter Uncertainty Less Than 0.01 percent for Water Flow Calibrations

May 16, 2006
Author(s)
Iryna V. Marfenko, Tsyh Tyan Yeh, John D. Wright
Measurement uncertainties introduced by liquid flow diverters are often one of the major contributors to the total uncertainty of static gravimetric liquid flow calibration facilities. This paper describes the primary water flow standard at NIST and tests

Fluid Dispensing and Dispersion

May 16, 2006
Author(s)
Jiann C. Yang, David R. Keyser
This paper is a condensed version of a chapter in the forthcoming Next Generation Program (NGP) final report edited by the authors. It summarizes the research conducted during the NGP program on fluid dispensing and dispersion within aircraft engine

Further Studies of Cup-Burner Flame Extinguishment.

May 16, 2006
Author(s)
F Takahashi, Gregory T. Linteris, Vishwanath R. Katta
The structure and extinguishment of heptane-air co-flow diffusion flames formed on a cup burner in normal earth gravity have been studied experimentally and computationally. A gaseous fire-extinguishing agent (CO2) was introduced gradually into a coflowing

Structure, ferromagnetic resonance and permeability of nanogranular fe-Co-B-Ni films

May 16, 2006
Author(s)
Pasquale Massimo, Celegato Federica, Coisson Marco, Magni Alessandro, Perero Sergio, Pavel Kabos, Teppati Valeria, Han Suk Hee, Kim Jongryoul, Lim Sang Ho
The static and microwave magnetic properties of soft nanogranular (Fe0.7)Co0.3)71B22Ni films with a 2T saturation magnetization are presented as a function of thickness, ranging from 135 to 235 nm. Microwave permeability values from 10 to 50 are measured

NIST Measurement Services: Specular Gloss

May 15, 2006
Author(s)
Maria E. Nadal, E A. Early, E A. Thompson
This document describes the instrumentation, standards, and measurement techniques used at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to measure specular gloss. The organization of this document is as follow. Section 1 describes the

Phase-stabilized ultrafast lasers signal new era in measurement and research

May 15, 2006
Author(s)
Tara M. Fortier, A Bartels, Scott A. Diddams
The development of short-pulsed lasers has progressed steadily over the past 30 years. In the search for better techniques and materials to generate shorter and shorter pulses, the 1990?s witnessed the arrival of Kerr-lens mode-locked Ti:sapphire lasers as

TDR Permittivity Measurements of Dielectric Films

May 15, 2006
Author(s)
Jan Obrzut, R Nozaki
We have developed a time-domain reflectometry (TDR) technique to measure the dielectric permittivity of film specimens. The test specimen consists of a planar capacitor terminating coaxial waveguide. The complex permittivity is obtained from analysis of

High-resolution spectroscopic measurements of InGaAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots

May 12, 2006
Author(s)
Joseph J. Berry, Martin Stevens, Richard Mirin, Kevin L. Silverman
We report development of two absorption-based spectroscopic methods that have been adapted from atomic physics techniques to elucidate the basic physical properties of InGaAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots(SAQDs). Absorptive spectroscopic measurements

Characterization of the Skin Orientation of Thermotropic Liquid-Crystalline Copolyester Moldings with Near-Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure

May 11, 2006
Author(s)
Robert A. Bubeck, L S. Thomas, S Rendon, W R. Burghardt, A Hexemer, Daniel A. Fischer
The process of injection molding net-shape parts from thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers (TLCPs) results in a skin-core macrostructure. The underlying orientation in the core and the skin may differ both in magnitude and direction. A combination of

Effect of Self-Assembled Monolayer Film Order on Nanofriction

May 11, 2006
Author(s)
S Sambasivan, S Hsieh, Daniel A. Fischer, Stephen M. Hsu
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) have increasingly being explored as potential protective films in devices friction and adhesion. However, accurate determination of the nanomechanical properties of monolayer films is difficult and fraught with

Probing the Ordering of Semiconducting Fluorene-Thiophene Copolymer Surfaces on Rubbed Polyimide Substrates by Near-Edge X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure

May 11, 2006
Author(s)
L R. Pattison, A Hexemer, E. J. Kramer, Sitaraman Krishnan, P Petroff, Daniel A. Fischer
The temperature-dependent alignment of semiconducting liquid crystalline fluorene-thiophene copolymer (F8T2) thin film surfaces was investigated using the near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) technique. Partial electron yield spectra were

A Two-Dimensional Terahertz Imaging System Using Hot Electron Bolometer

May 10, 2006
Author(s)
Dazhen Gu, Eyal Gerecht, Fernando Rodriquez Morales, Sigfrid Yngvesson
We present first results with a two-dimensional(2D)scanning, terahertz passive heterodyne imaging system currently under development. The imager is based on a phonon-cooled quasi-optically coupled HEB mixer integrated with an InP MMIC IF low-noise
