Interferometric Testing of Photomask Blank Flatness

February 28, 2001
Author(s)
Christopher J. Evans, R E. Parks, L Z. Shao, Tony L. Schmitz, Angela Davies
Conventional interferometric testing of the flatness of photomask blanks is rendered difficult by the long coherence length of the HeNe laser sources typically used in commercially available phase measuring interferometers appropriate for flatness testing

Introduction to Public Key Technology and the Federal PKI Infrastructure

February 26, 2001
Author(s)
D. Richard Kuhn, Vincent C. Hu, William Polk, Shu-jen H. Chang
This publication was developed to assist agency decision-makers in determining if a PKI is appropriate for their agency, and how PKI services can be deployed most effectively within a Federal agency. It is intended to provide an overview of PKI functions

Applying X-Ray Topography and Diffractometry to Improve Protein Crystal Growth

February 21, 2001
Author(s)
David R. Black, L Arnowitz, David T. Gallagher
In order to obtain adequate diffraction data to determine the structure of the protein of interest, crystal quality is important. Although in this context there may be no single concise definition of quality, it must involve adequate size, singleness

Hysteresis and Related Error Mechanisms in the NIST Watt Balance Experiment

February 16, 2001
Author(s)
J. Schwarz, Ruimin Liu, David B. Newell, Richard L. Steiner, Edwin R. Williams, Douglas T. Smith, A Erdemir, J Woodford
The NIST Watt Balance experiment is being completely rebuilt after its 1998 determination of the SI Volt and Planck's constant. That measurement yielded a result with approximately 1 x 10 -7 standard relative uncertainty. Because the goal of the new

Index of Refraction of Air

February 16, 2001
Author(s)
Jack A. Stone Jr., Jay H. Zimmerman
These Web pages are intended primarily as a computational tool that can be used to calculate the refractive index of air for a given wavelength of light and given atmospheric conditions (air temperature, pressure, and humidity). The calculations are

Block Copolymer Thin Films: Physics and Applications

February 15, 2001
Author(s)
Michael J. Fasolka, A M. Mayes
A two-part review of research concerning block copolymer thin films is presented. The first section summarizes experimental and theoretical studies of the fundamental physics of these systems, concentrating upon the forces that govern film morphology. The

Stability of Diamond Turning Processes That Use Round Nosed Tools?

February 12, 2001
Author(s)
David E. Gilsinn, B Balachandran, Matthew A. Davies
In this article, a multi-mode model is developed for a diamond-turning process which takes into account the cutting forces that result from the geometry of the chip area cut by a round nosed tool. These cutting forces are assumed proportional to the uncut

Superconducting Nb DHEB Mixer Arrays for Far-Infrared Spectroscopy

February 12, 2001
Author(s)
Eyal Gerecht, Carl D. Reintsema, Erich N. Grossman, A. L. Betz, R. T. Boreiko
We are developing a heterodyne focal plane array with up to eight elements to study lines with frequencies of 2 THz and above. It is intended for studies of the interstellar medium and planetary atmospheres. Our fabricatin process utilizes selective ion

Test Chip for Electrical Linewidth of Copper-Interconnection Features and Related Parameters

February 6, 2001
Author(s)
Michael W. Cresswell, N. Arora, Richard A. Allen, Christine E. Murabito, Curt A. Richter, Ashwani K. Gupta, Loren W. Linholm, D. Pachura, P. Bendix
This paper reports a new electrical test structure for measuring the barrier-layer thickness and total physical linewidth of copper-cored interconnect features. The test structure has four critical dimension (CD) reference segments of different drawn

Normal Modes for a Stratified Viscous fluid Layer

February 2, 2001
Author(s)
Katharine F. Gurski, R L. Pego
We consider internal gravity waves in a stratified fluid layer with rigid horizontal boundaries and periodic boundary conditions on the sides at constant temperature with a small constant viscosity, modeled using the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations

85 Rb BEC Near a Feshbach Resonance

February 1, 2001
Author(s)
N R. Claussen, S L. Cornish, J L. Roberts, Eric A. Cornell, C E. Wieman
Bose-Einstein condensation has been achieved in a magnetically trapped sample of 85Rb atoms. Stable condensates of up to 10 4 atoms have been created by using a magnetic-field-induced Feshbach resnance to reverse the sign of the zero-field scattering

A Novel Microshear Test to Measure Dental Adhesion

February 1, 2001
Author(s)
Joseph M. Antonucci, Walter G. McDonough, Gary E. Schumacher, Y Shimada
A key factor in determining the strength and durability of polymeric dental restorative composites, sealants and adhesives is the quality of their interfaces/interphases. Bulk mechanical strength tests such as tensile, transverse and shear tests are

Ab Initio Structure of the Active Site of Phosphotriesterase

February 1, 2001
Author(s)
Morris Krauss
This research exploits two recent developments to obtain a fundamental understanding of the metalloenzyme active site using the bi-metallic enzyme phosphotriesterase as an example of this class. First, is the theoretical prediction that the structure and
