Effects of Surface Functionality and Humidity on The Adhesion Force and Chemical Contrast Measured With AFM

January 1, 2005
Author(s)
Tinh Nguyen, Xiaohong Gu, lijiang chen, Michael J. Fasolka, Kimberly Briggman, Jeeseong C. Hwang, Jonathan W. Martin
The ability to probe chemical heterogeneity with nanometer scale resolution is essential for developing a molecular level understanding of a variety of phenomena occurring at surfaces of materials. One area that could benefit greatly from nanoscale

Elastic Instability of Multilayer Films Coated on Substrates

January 1, 2005
Author(s)
Shu Guo, Martin Y. Chiang, Christopher M. Stafford
Mechanical properties of ultra-thin (submicrometer) films coated on a substrate are paramount in many applications. One question arises as to whether the physical and mechanical properties of supported thin films in applications can be significantly

Electron Probe Microanalysis

Dale Newbury, Kent D. Irwin, Gene C. Hilton, David A. Wollman, John A. Small, John M. Martinis

Enhanced Quantum State Detection Efficiency Through Quantum Information Processing

January 1, 2005
Author(s)
T Schaetz, Murray D. Barrett, Dietrich G. Leibfried, Joseph W. Britton, J Chiaverini, Wayne M. Itano, John D. Jost, E Knill, Christopher Langer, David J. Wineland
We investigate theoretically and experimentally how quantum state-detection efficiency is improved by the use of quantum information processing (QIP). Experimentally, we encode the state of one 9Be ion qubit with one additional ancilla qubit. By measuring

Errors Resulting From the Reflectivity of Calibration Targets

January 1, 2005
Author(s)
James P. Randa, Dave K. Walker, Robert L. Billinger, Amanda E. Cox
For a microwave total power radiometer, we consider the error introduced by neglecting the difference int he antenna reflection coefficient between when it views a distant scene and a nearby calibration target. An approximate expression is presented for

Evaluation and Selection Ad Hoc Group Update, IEEE 802.21-05-214-01

January 1, 2005
Author(s)
Nada T. Golmie
We have implemented a quantum key distribution (QKD) system with polarization encoding at 850 nm over 1 km of optical fiber. The high-speed management of the bit-stream, generation of random numbers and processing of the sifting algorithm are all handled
