Perspectives for a new realization of the pascal by optical methods

October 24, 2017
Author(s)
Jay H. Hendricks, Karl Jousten, Jack A. Stone Jr., Patrick F. Egan, Tom Rubin, Christof Gaiser, Rene Schodel, James A. Fedchak, Jacob E. Ricker, Jens Fluegge, Stephen P. Eckel, Julia K. Scherschligt, Daniel S. Barker, Kevin O. Douglass, Gregory F. Strouse, Uwe Sterr, Waldimir Sabuga
Since the beginning of measurement of pressure in the 17th century, the unit of pressure has been defined by the relationship of force per unit area. The present state of optical technology now offers the possibility of using a thermodynamic definition

Electronic and Chemical Structure of 2D materials

October 3, 2017
Author(s)
Sujitra Pookpanratana
The drive to produce smaller, faster, lower power electronic components for computing is pushing the semiconductor industry to nanometer-scale device structures. Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials such as transitional metal dichalcogenides

Nanophotonic atomic force microscope transducers enable chemical composition and thermal conductivity measurements at the nanoscale

Author(s)
Jungseok Chae, Sangmin An, Georg Ramer, Vitalie Stavila, Glenn Holland, Yohan Yoon, Alec Talin, Mark Allendorf, Vladimir Aksyuk, Andrea Centrone
The atomic force microscope (AFM) offers a rich observation window on the nanoscale, yet many dynamic phenomena are too fast and too weak for direct detection, urging measurement innovation. Integrated cavity-optomechanics is revolutionizing

The structural phases and vibrational properties of Mo1-xWxTe2 alloys

September 1, 2017
Author(s)
Sean M. Oliver, Ryan Beams, Sergiy Krylyuk, Arunima Singh, Irina Kalish, Alina Bruma, Francesca Tavazza, Iris Stone, Stephan J. Stranick, Albert Davydov, Patrick M. Vora
The structural polymorphism in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) provides exciting opportunities for developing advanced electronics. For example, MoTe2 crystallizes in the 2H semiconducting phase at ambient temperature and pressure, but transitions

Broadband, high-resolution investigation of advanced absorption lineshapes at high temperature

August 23, 2017
Author(s)
Ian R. Coddington, William C. Swann, Nathan R. Newbury, Paul J. Schroeder, Matthew J. Cich, Jinyu Yang, Brian J. Drouin, Gregory B. Rieker
Spectroscopic studies of planetary atmospheres and high-temperature processes (e.g. combustion) require absorption lineshape models that are accurate over extended temperature ranges. To date, advanced lineshapes, like the speed-dependent Voigt and Rautian

Intricate Resonant Raman Response in Anisotropic ReS2

August 18, 2017
Author(s)
Amber McCreary, Jeffrey R. Simpson, Yuanxi Wang, Daniel Rhodes, Kazunori Fujisawa, Luis Balicas, Madan Dubey, Vincent H. Crespi, M. Terrones, Angela R. Hight Walker
Rhenium disulfide is an exciting material due to its strong in-plane anisotropy, thus offering an additional physical parameter that can be tuned for advanced applications. ReS2 provides a major advantage for optoelectronics as it is both stable in air and

Interface Engineering for Nanoelectronics

August 16, 2017
Author(s)
Christina A. Hacker, Robert C. Bruce, Sujitra J. Pookpanratana
Innovation in the electronics industry is tied to interface engineering as devices increasingly incorporate new materials and shrink. Molecular layers offer a versatile means of tuning interfacial electronic, chemical, physical, and magnetic properties

Simultaneous readout of 128 X-ray and Gamma-ray Transition-edge Microcalorimeters using Microwave SQUID Multiplexing

Author(s)
John Mates, Dan Becker, Douglas Bennett, Johnathon Gard, James P. Hays-Wehle, Joseph Fowler, Gene C. Hilton, Carl D. Reintsema, Dan Schmidt, Daniel Swetz, Leila R. Vale, Joel Ullom
The number of elements in most cryogenic sensor arrays is limited by the technology available to multiplex signals from the array into a smaller number of wires and readout amplifiers. The largest demonstrated arrays of transition-edge sensor (TES)

Open-path dual-comb spectroscopy to an airborne retroreflector

July 20, 2017
Author(s)
Kevin C. Cossel, Eleanor M. Waxman, Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, Michael A. Cermak, Dan Hesselius, Shalom Ruben, William C. Swann, Gregory B. Rieker, Nathan R. Newbury
We demonstrate a new technique for spatial mapping of multiple atmospheric gas species. This system is based on high-precision dual-comb spectroscopy to a retroreflector mounted on a flying multicopter. We measure the atmospheric absorption over long open

Photochemical Properties of CH2=CH-CFCl-CF2Br (4-bromo-3-chloro-3,4,4-trifluoro-1-butene) and CH3-O-CH-(CF3)2 (methyl 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl-1-trifluoromethyl ether): OH Reaction Rate Constant, UV and IR Absorption Spectra.

Abstract Rate constants for the reactions of hydroxyl radicals (OH) with methyl 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl-1-trifluoromethyl ether (CH3-O-CH-(CF3)2 and 4-bromo-3-chloro-3,4,4-trifluoro-1-butene (CH2=CH-CFCl-CF2Br) have been measured over the temperature range

A Reassessment of Absolute Energies of X-ray L Lines of Lanthanide Metals

June 28, 2017

Bradley Alpert, W.Bertrand (Randy) Doriese, Gene C. Hilton, Lawrence T. Hudson, Young I. Joe, Kelsey Morgan, Carl D. Reintsema, Dan Schmidt, Daniel Swetz, Csilla Szabo-Foster, Joel Ullom, Joseph Fowler, Galen O'Neil, Douglas Bennett
We introduce a new technique for determining x-ray fluorescence line energies and widths, and we present measurements made with this technique of 22 x-ray L lines from lanthanide-series elements. The technique uses arrays of transition-edge sensors

Approaches for Characterizing Nonlinear Mixtures in Hyperspectral Imagery

June 21, 2017
Author(s)
Robert S. Rand, Ronald G. Resmini, David W. Allen
This study considers a physics-based and a kernel-based approach for characterizing pixels in a scene that may be linear (areal mixed) or nonlinear (intimately mixed). The physics-based method is based on earlier studies that indicate nonlinear mixtures in
