Bridging the Micro to Macro Gap: A New Application for Milli-probe X-ray Fluorescence

June 1, 2011
Author(s)
Jeffrey M. Davis, Dale E. Newbury, Nicholas W. Ritchie, Edward P. Vicenzi, Dale P. Bentz, Albert J. Fahey
X-ray elemental mapping and x-ray spectrum imaging are powerful microanalytical tools. However, their scope is limited spatially by the raster area of a scanning electron microscope or microprobe. Limited sampling size becomes a significant issue when

Certification of Standard Reference Material 660b

June 1, 2011
Author(s)
David R. Black, Donald A. Windover, Albert Henins, James J. Filliben, James P. Cline
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) certifies a suite of Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) to address specific aspects of instrument performance of powder diffractometers. This report describes SRM 660b, the third generation of this

Challenges and Opportunities in Smart Grid: A Position Article

June 1, 2011
Author(s)
George W. Arnold
This introductory article overviews the concepts and purpose of the Smart Grid and the important role of communications technology in its development. It identifies some of the challenges and opportunities that are explored in more detail in the articles

Electromagnetic Energy Density in Dispersive and Dissipative Media

June 1, 2011
Author(s)
Frederico D. Nunes, Thiago Vasconcelos, Marcel Bezerra, John Weiner
The description of the energy density associated with an electromagnetic field propagating through matter must treat two different phenomena: dispersion, the variation of the refractive index with frequency, and dissipation, the loss of field energy by

Electromagnetic Metrology on Concrete and Corrosion

June 1, 2011
Author(s)
Sung Kim, Jack T. Surek, James R. Baker-Jarvis
To go beyond current electromagnetic nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods for reinforcing bar (rebar) corrosion we are exploring unique magnetic or electric spectral features and whether these might be prominent enough at the concrete cover depth to

Electromechanical Characterization of Bi-2212 Strands

June 1, 2011
Author(s)
Xifeng Lu
The uniaxial strain dependence of the critical current was measured both in tension and compression in Bi-2212 high-temperature superconducting round wires. We observed that permanent damage to the critical current can easily occur due to strain. To

Evaluation of Self Diffusion Data Using Weighted Means Statistics

June 1, 2011
Author(s)
Carelyn E. Campbell, Andrew L. Rukhin
Several CALPHAD-based assessments of the self-diffusion mobility of Ni in pure Ni and Al in pure Al have been published. In an effort to determine which assessment best represents the experimental data, weighted means statistics are used to determine

Graphene Production for Electrical Metrology

June 1, 2011
Author(s)
Randolph E. Elmquist, David B. Newell, George R. Jones, Felipe L. Marquez-Hernandez, Mariano A. Real, Tian T. Shen
Many material and electronic contributions must be favorable to produce devices with strong quantum Hall effect (QHE) plateaus that are suitable for precise resistance metrology. Even so, metrologically interesting QHE plateaus have been observed in
