Radio Frequency and Analog/Mixed-Signal Technologies

January 20, 2012
Author(s)
Herbert S. Bennett, John J. Pekarik
This 2011 roadmap for radio frequency and analog/mixed-signal (RF and AMS) technologies presents the challenges, technology requirements, and potential solutions for the basic technology elements (transistors and passive devices). RF and AMS technologies

Spin-Charge-Density Wave in a Squircle-Like Fermi Surface for Ultracold Atoms

January 20, 2012
Author(s)
Ian B. Spielman, Dima Makogon, Christiane de Morais Smith
We derive and discuss an experimentally realistic model describing ultracold atoms in an optical lattice including a commensurate, but staggered, Zeeman field. The resulting band structure is quite exotic; fermions in the third band have an unusual rounded

Internal Curing - Constructing More Robust Concrete

January 19, 2012
Author(s)
Jason Weiss, Dale P. Bentz, Anton Schlinder, Pietro Lura
It is often said that there are two types of concrete: concrete that has cracked and concrete that is going to crack. Unfortunately, this is true all too frequently. Many of these unwanted cracks develop shortly after the concrete is placed and in addition

A Model for Calculating Diffraction Elastic Constants

January 18, 2012
Author(s)
Thomas H. Gnaeupel-Herold, Adam A. Creuziger, Mark A. Iadicola
An alternate model is proposed to calculate the diffraction elastic constants from the elastic constants of the single crystal. It is based on the inverse elastic susceptibility and thus it is related to the elastic polarization approach widely known as

Anisotropic surface-state-mediated RKKY interaction between adatoms

January 18, 2012
Author(s)
Paul N. Patrone, T L. Einstein
Motivated by recent numerical studies of Ag on Pt(111), we derive a far-field expression for the RKKY interaction mediated by surface states on a (111) FCC surface. The main contribution to the interaction comes from electrons whose Fermi velocity is

Relationship between Length and Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy signal Strength in Metal Nanoparticle Chains: Idea Models versus Nanofabrication

January 18, 2012
Author(s)
Angela R. Hight Walker, K. Stec, Shunpig Zhang, Hongxing Xu, Rene Lopez
We have employed capillary force deposition on ion beam patterned substrates to fabricate chains of 60nm gold nanospheres ranging in length from 1 to 9 nanoparticles. Measurements of the surface-averaged SERS enhancement factor strength for these chains

Analysis of Early-Age Bridge Deck Cracking in Nevada and Wyoming

January 17, 2012
Author(s)
Dale P. Bentz, Paul E. Stutzman, Aaron R. Sakulich, William J. Weiss
In late 2009, the Echo Wash and Valley of Fire bridge decks were constructed in the Lake Mead National Recreation area in Nevada. Within six months, in early 2010, both decks exhibited considerable transverse cracking, with some cracks extending through

Direct Observation of Hydrogen Spillover in Ni-Loaded Pr-Doped Ceria

January 17, 2012
Author(s)
Vaneet Sharma, Peter A. Crozier, Renu Sharma, James B. Adams
Hydrogen-spillover in Ni-loaded Pr-doped ceria (PDC) was directly observed using an environmental transmission electron microscope (ETEM). Localized reduction of ceria in a H2 atmosphere was observed and attributed to gas-Ni-ceria interactions at the three

Fourier, Gauss, Fraunhofer, Porod and the Shape from Moments Problem

January 17, 2012
Author(s)
Gregg M. Gallatin
We show how the Fourier transform of a shape in any number of dimensions can be simplified using Gauss' law and evaluated explicitly for polygons in two dimensions, polyhedra three dimensions, etc. We also show how this combination of Fourier and Gauss can

First high-resolution analysis of the nu15, nu12, nu5, nu10 and nu2 bands of oxirane

January 15, 2012
Author(s)
Walter J. Lafferty, Jean-Marie Flaud, F. Kwabia Tchana, A. Perrin
Fourier transform spectra of Oxirane (ethylene oxide, c-C2H4O) have been recorded in the 730 cm-1 to 1560 cm-1 (6.4 to 13.7 µm) spectral region using a Bruker IFS125HR spectrometer at a resolution of 0.0019 cm-1. A total of six vibration bands, ν15, ν12
