Combinatorial and High-Throughput Measurement of the Modulus of Thin Polymer Films

June 1, 2005
Author(s)
Christopher M. Stafford, Shu Guo, Martin Y. Chiang, C Harrison
Considerable attention has been devoted to developing fabrication strategies for constructing combinatorial material libraries as well as tools for characterizing the chemical and physical properties of such libraries. Less attention has been dedicated to

Compressive Prestrain in High-Niobium-Fraction Nb 3 Sn Superconductors

June 1, 2005
Author(s)
John (Jack) W. Ekin, Najib Cheggour, Mike Abrecht, Cameron C. Clickner, Michael Field, Seungok Hong, Jeffrey Parrell, Y. Zhang
Multifilamentary Nb 3Sn superconducting strands fabricated with high niobium fractions have exceptionally high critical-current densities but are sometimes marginally stable during testing. We report a technique for determining the pre-strain in such

Damage to Solid-State Photodiodes by Vacuum Ultraviolet Radiation

June 1, 2005
Author(s)
Uwe Arp, Ping-Shine Shaw, R Gupta, Keith R. Lykke
We report experimental results on the stability of photodiodes obtained at three different wavelengths in the vacuum ultraviolet spectral region. Two of these experiments were based on radiation damage inflicted with excimer lasers at 193 nm and 157 nm and

Development of Multiple Beam Optical Tweezers

June 1, 2005
Author(s)
Dongjin Lee, Thomas W. LeBrun, Arvind Balijepalli, Jason J. Gorman, Cedric V. Gagnon, Daehie Hong, Esther H. Chang
This paper presents the design of a multiple beam optical tweezers instrument used for manipulating micro/nano-sized components. The basic equations used in designing the optical tweezers are derived and the stable and time-sharing multiple beam optical

Development of Traceable Small Force Standards

June 1, 2005
Author(s)
Gordon A. Shaw, Jon R. Pratt
Although instrumented indentation and atomic forcve microscope (AFM) are utilized extensively for the measurement of forces in the piconewton to millinewton regime, accurate calibration of these forces remains an obstacle to quantitative research

Dynamic Factors Contributing to Buckling and Birdnesting During GMAW Wire Feeding

June 1, 2005
Author(s)
Toby Padilla, Timothy P. Quinn, D. R. Munoz, R. A. Rorrer, John R. Berger
This study provides experimental data for determining the factors affecting wire feeding performance. Full-scale experiments show that feeding performance, in terms of wire feed speed and wire feeding force, varies with the material system and with the

Dynamics of Nonlinear and Dispersion Managed Solitons

June 1, 2005
Author(s)
Qudsia Quraishi, Steven T. Cundiff, I Boaz, Mark J. Ablowitz
The relation between the fundamental parameters of energy, temporal duration and dispersion are demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally in a solid-state modelocked laser. An asymptotic theory for the nonlinear and dispersion managed solitons

Effect of Conduit Material on CICC Performance Under High Cycling Loads

June 1, 2005
Author(s)
Nicolai N. Martovetsky, Pierluigi Bruzzone, Boris Stepanov, Rainer Wesche, Chen-yu Gung, J V. Minervini, M Takayasu, Loren F. Goodrich, John (Jack) W. Ekin, Arend Nijhuis
Recent International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Model Coils and tests on Nb 3Sn Cable in Conduit Conductors (CICC) showed a significant and unexpected increase in the broadness of the transition to the normal state, resulting in degradation

Exchanging Technical Product Data, The Story of ISO TC 184/SC4

June 1, 2005
Author(s)
Sharon J. Kemmerer
Developing exchange standards for technical product data started historically as multiple, and isolated, national efforts in the 1970s and early 80s. The industrial domain leading the way in the 70s was primarily the transportation sector (automotive and

Fabrication and Measurement of Tall Stacked Arrays of SNS Josephson Junctions

June 1, 2005
Author(s)
Nicolas Hadacek, Paul Dresselhaus, Yonuk Chong, Samuel Benz, John E. Bonevich
We have made tall, uniform stacked Josephson junction arrays by developing an etch process using an inductively coupled plasma etcher. This process produces vertical profiles in thin-film multilayers of alternating superconducting and normal metals. Such a

First-Order Raman Spectra of AB' 1/2 B'' 1/2 O 3 Double Perovskites

June 1, 2005
Author(s)
S A. Prosandeev, U Waghmare, Igor Levin, James E. Maslar
First principles computations of Raman intensities were performed for perovskite-like compound CaAl1/2Nb1/2O3 (CAN). This compound features 1:1 (NaCl-type) ordering of Al and Nb superimposed onto the b-b-c+ octahedral tilting. Raman tensor for CAN was

Flexible Cryo-packages for Josephson Devices

June 1, 2005
Author(s)
Charles J. Burroughs, Samuel Benz, Paul Dresselhaus, Yonuk Chong, Hirotake Yamamori
We have developed a method of bonding superconductive integrated-circuit chips to interchangeable, microwave-compatible, flexible cryo-packages. This new 'flip-chip on flex' technology will greatly improve the service life and reliability of our Josephson

High-Temperature Guarded Hot Plate Apparatus Control of Edge Heat Loss

June 1, 2005
Author(s)
Daniel R. Flynn, William M. Healy, Robert R. Zarr
The guarded hot plate (GHP) apparatus is the most common type of absolute apparatus for measurement of the thermal transmission properties of thermal insulation. As the name implies, the hot meter plate is surrounded by a coplanar guard plate, separated by
