Available Data and Input Into Models.

June 10, 2004
Author(s)
R F. Fahy
There is a need for better data to improve our knowledge of human behavior in fire. This data can be used in the development and refinement of evacuation models and in the use of such models. Once collected, human behavior data must be published in peer

Controlled Vesicle Self-Assembly in Continuous Two Phase Flow Microfluidic Channels

June 10, 2004
Author(s)
Andreas Jahn, Wyatt N. Vreeland, Laurie E. Locascio, Michael Gaitan
The spontaneous self-assembly of phospholipids into liposomes in aqueous solution results in the encapsulation of reagents into quantized packets in a manner that mimics cellular life-processes. Since their discovery in 1965, liposomes have been used in a

Development and Application Issues of a Spectrally Tunable LED Source

June 8, 2004
Author(s)
George P. Eppeldauer, Steven W. Brown, G Dezsi, Irena Fryc, Yoshihiro Ohno
A spectrally tunable solid state source based on Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) is being developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The tunable source will emulate the spectral distributions of various light sources and can be

Radiometer Measurements of a Near-Ambient, Variable-Temperature Noise Standard

June 7, 2004
Author(s)
George Free, James P. Randa, Robert L. Billinger
A near-ambient, variable-temperature noise standard whose physical temperature can be accurately measured was constructed and then measured with the NIST total-power radiometer to test the accuracy of radiometer measurements in the temperature range of 263

Lan Gao, D. Q. Feng, L. Yuan, T. Yokota, R. Sabirianov, Sy-Hwang Liou, Michelle Chabot, Daniel Porpora, John M. Moreland
We have successfully fabricated single and paired 300 nm × 1.5 υm × 32 nm Ni 80Fe 20 bars on a microcantilever using focused ion beam milling. Magnetic interactions of these paired bars were studied by using magnetic force microscopy, microcantilever

Active Vibration Isolation for a Long-Range Scanning Tunneling Microscope

June 1, 2004

K J. Lan, J Y. Yen, John A. Kramar
Vibration Isolation or control is critical for the optimum operation of the Molecular Measuring Machine (M3), a high-resolution, length-metrology instrument at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. This paper describes the extension of the M3

Analysis of Some Combination-Overtone Infrared Bands of 32 S 16 O 3

June 1, 2004

A G. Maki, Thomas A. Blake, R L. Sams, J Frieh, J Barber, Tony Masiello, E T. Chrysostom, J Nibler, A Weber
Several new infrared absorption bands for 32S16O3 have been measured and analyzed. The principal bands observed were v1 + v2 (at 1561 cm-1), v1 + v4 (at 1594 cm-1, v3 + v4 at 1918 cm-1), and 3v3 (at 4136 cm-1). Except for 3v3, these bands are very

Artifacts in Ballistic Magnetoresistance Measurements

William F. Egelhoff Jr., L Gan, H Ettedgui, Y Kadmon, Cedric J. Powell, P J. Chen, Alexander J. Shapiro, Robert McMichael, J Mallett, Thomas P. Moffat, Mark D. Stiles, Erik B. Svedberg
We have studied the behavior of electrodeposited Ni and Fe nanocontacts in magnetic fields and the changes in resistivity (Δ}R) that occur. Metallic particles suspended in plating solution, created and collected from the electroplating bath of a

Artifacts in Ballistic Magnetoresistance Measurements

William F. Egelhoff Jr., L Gan, H Ettendgui, Y Kadmon, Cedric J. Powell, P J. Chen, Alexander J. Shapiro, Robert McMichael, J Mallett, Thomas P. Moffat, Mark D. Stiles
We have carried out an extensive search for credible evidence to support the existence of a ballistic magnetoresistance (BMR) effect in magnetic nanocontacts. We have investigated both thin-film and thin-wire geometries for both mechanically-formed and
