Characterization of Chinese Ink in Size and Surface

July 1, 2003
Author(s)
J R. Swider, Vincent A. Hackley, J Winter
Chinese lnk, a mixture of soot and animal glue, has been used in East Asia for centuries as the sole black paint of choice. The combination of animal glue and soot particles creates a distinctive dispersion system giving Chinese Ink its unique properties

Coherent imagin of nanoscale plasmon patterns with a carbon nanotue optical probe

July 1, 2003
Author(s)
R Hillenbrand, F Keilmann, P Hanarp, D S. Sutherland, J Aizpurua
We introduce a carbon nanotube as optical near-field probe and apply it to visualize the plasmon fields of metal nanostructures in both amplitude and phase at 30 nm resolution. With 91 nm Au disks designed for fundamental plasmon resonance, we observe the

Combinatorial Edge Delamination Test for Thin Film Adhesion Concept, Procedure, Results

July 1, 2003
Author(s)
Martin Y. Chiang, J He, R Song, Alamgir Karim, Wen-Li Wu, Eric J. Amis
A high-throughput combinatorial approach to edge delamination test is proposed to map the failure of adhesion as a function of both temperature and film thickness in a single step. In this approach, a single specimen of a thin film bonded to a substrate

Cosolvent-assisted Spray Pyrolysis for the Generation of Metal Particles

July 1, 2003
Author(s)
Valeri I. Babushok, S H. Ehrman, Thomas Germer, Jae H. Kim, George W. Mulholland
A co-solvent assisted spray pyrolysis process was developed for the formation of pure metal particles from metal salt precursors without the direct addition of hydrogen or other reducing gas. Generation of pure copper and nickelparticles from aqueous

Crystal Structure of the YchF Protein Reveals Binding Sites for GTP and Nucleic Acid

July 1, 2003
Author(s)
A Teplyakov, G Obmolova, S Y. Chu, J Toedt, E Eisenstein, A J. Howard, G L. Gilliland
The bacterial protein encoded by the gene ychF is 1 of 11 universally conserved GTPases, and the only one whose function is unknown. The crystal structure determination of YchF was sought to help with the the functional assignment of the protein. The YchF

Delivery of High Stability Optical and Microwave Frequency Standards Over an Optical Fiber Network

July 1, 2003
Author(s)
Jun Ye, J L. Peng, R J. Jones, K W. Holman, John L. Hall, D J. Jones, Scott A. Diddams, John E. Kitching, S Bize, James C. Bergquist, Leo W. Hollberg, Lennart Robertsson, L -. Ma
Optical and radio frequency standards located in JILA and NIST laboratories have been connected through a 6.9 km roundtrip optical fiber link. An optical frequency standard based on an Iodine stabilized Nd:YAG laser at 1064 nm with an instability of

Effects of Different Whiskers on the Reinforcement of Dental Resin Composites

July 1, 2003
Author(s)
Hockin D. Xu, Janet Quinn, Douglas T. Smith, Anthony A. Giuseppetti, F Eichmiller
Objective: Whiskers were recently used to reinforce dental composites to extend their use to large stress-bearing restorations. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different types of whiskers on composite properties. It was hypothesized

Electron Backscatter Diffraction for Studies of Localized Deformation

July 1, 2003
Author(s)
Roy H. Geiss, Alexana Roshko, Kristine A. Bertness, R R. Keller
Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) was used to study localized deformation in two types ofconstrained-volume materials. We present a study of deformation in narrow aluminum interconnects afterlow frequency, AC cycling at high current density. Joule

Energetics of Li Atom Displacements in K1-xLixTa03: First-Principles Calculations

July 1, 2003
Author(s)
S A. Prosandeev, Eric J. Cockayne, Benjamin P. Burton
K 1-xLi xTaO 3 (KLT) solid solutions exhibit a variety of interesting physical phenomena related to large local displacements of Li-ions from ideal perovskite A-site positions. First-principles calculations for KLT supercells were used to investigate these

Excess Noise Generation During Spectral Boradening in Microstructure Fiber

July 1, 2003
Author(s)
J N. Ames, S Ghosh
We observe that nanojoule femtosecond pulses that are spectrally broadened in microstructure fiber acquire excess noise. The excess noise is namifest as an increase in the noise floor of the rf spectrum of the photocurrent from a photodetector illuminated

Fourier Analysis Near-Field Polarimetry for Measurement of Local Optical Properties of Thin Films

July 1, 2003
Author(s)
Lori S. Goldner, Michael J. Fasolka, S Nougier, H P. Nguyen, Garnett W. Bryant, Jeeseong Hwang, K D. Weston, Kathryn L. Beers, A Urbas, Edwin L. Thomas
We present measurements of the local dichroism and birefringence of thin film specimens us ing techniques that combine near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) and a novel polarization modulation (PM) polarimetry utilizing Fourier analysis of the

GMAW Wire Feedability: A Friction Model

July 1, 2003
Author(s)
A Padilla, D. R. Munoz, Timothy P. Quinn, R. A. Rorrer
A Hertzian-based contact model of the friction between the welding wire and the wire liner has been developed to predict the wire pulling force for gas metal arc welding (GMAW). The model predicts a 2.5:1 exponential increase inwire pulling force as the

High-frequency noise measurements in spin-valve Devices

July 1, 2003
Author(s)
N. A. Stutzke, S. L. Burkett, Stephen E. Russek
High-frequency magnetic noise in magnetoresistive devices being developed for read-sensor and magnetic random access memory applications may present fundamental limitations on the performance of sub-micrometer magnetic devices. High- frequency magnetic

IEEE 1451 Smart Wireless Machinery Monitoring and Control for Naval Vessels

July 1, 2003
Author(s)
T Brooks, S Chen, Kang B. Lee
The IEEE 1451 family of standards makes it easy to create solutions using existing networking technologies, standardized connections to smart devices, and a common software architecture. The standards allow the choice of application software, field network
