Laboratory Astrophysics Survey of Key X-Ray Diagnostic Lines Using a Microcalorimeter on an Electron Beam Ion Trap

September 1, 2000
Author(s)
E Silver, H. Schnopper, Simon R. Bandler, N Brickhouse, S Murray, M Barbera, E Takacs, John D. Gillaspy, James V. Porto, I Kink, J M. Laming, N. Madden, D Landis, J. Beeman, E. E. Haller
Cosmic plasma conditions created in an Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT) make it possible to simulate the dependencies of Key diagnostic x-ray lines on density, temperature, and excitation conditions that exist in astrophysical sources. We used a

Metastable States in Large Angle Magnetization Rotations

September 1, 2000
Author(s)
Pavel Kabos, Shehzaad F. Kaka, Stephen E. Russek, Thomas J. Silva
Large angle rotations were studied in Permalloy thin films and spin valve devices. It is shown that edge effects or inhomogeneities strongly influence the magnetization behavior under certain initial conditions. Complicated intermediate states can form

Micromechanical Detectors for Ferromagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

September 1, 2000
Author(s)
John M. Moreland, Pavel Kabos, Albrecht Jander, M. Loehndorf, Robert McMichael, C G. Lee
We demonstrate micromechanical detection of ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) in thin magnetic films. FMR spectroscopy is performed on nanometer scale samples integrated with a micromachined silicon cantilever. We present several techniques by which the FMR

Model for Cyclic Fatigue of Quasi-Plastic Ceramics in Contact with Spheres

September 1, 2000
Author(s)
K -. Lee, Yeon-Gil G. Jung, I M. Peterson, Brian R. Lawn, D H. Kim, S K. Lee
A model of contact damage accumulation from cyclic loading with spheres and ensuing strength degradation in relatively tough, heterogeneous ceramics is developed. The damage takes the form of a quasiplastic zone beneath the contact, consisting of an array

Molecular Dynamics Study of Ions in Water

September 1, 2000
Author(s)
Raymond D. Mountain
The results of a molecular dynamics simulation study of the structure of the solvation shell about sodium, chlorine, and strontium ions in water are reported for ambient conditions and for three densities on the supercritical, T = 673 K isotherm. The

Nonlinear Ultrasonic Assessment of Precipitation Hardening in ASTM A710 Steel

September 1, 2000
Author(s)
Donna C. Hurley, Davor Balzar, P T. Purtscher
We investigated several specimens of ASTM A710 steel containing copper-rich precipitates with variations in the final aging treatment. X-ray diffraction line-broadening and small-angle neutron-scattering experiments revealed the existence of the

On the Dispersion of Lightning Current After a Direct Flash to a Building

September 1, 2000
Author(s)
Francois D. Martzloff
Simplifications often made when simulating the dispersion of lightning current can yield results that depart too much from the complex reality of a direct lightning flash to a building. The unpredictable occurrence of side-flashes increases even more the

Radiometric Calibration History of Visible and Near-Infrared Portable Radiometers

September 1, 2000
Author(s)
Bettye C. Johnson, Steven W. Brown, Howard W. Yoon
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), with the support of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), has built several transfer radiometers that are used in radiometric measurement comparisons to validate spectral

Refrigerant/Lubricant Mixture Boiling Heat Transfer Research at NIST

September 1, 2000
Author(s)
Mark A. Kedzierski
This paper overviews the boiling heat transfer research of the recent few years at NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) on refrigerant/lubricant mixtures. The aim of the research was to fundamentally understand the effects of lubricant

Relationship Between Thermocouple and Radiation Thermometer Measurements

September 1, 2000
Author(s)
D P. DeWitt
The purpose of this vuegraph presentation is to describe the relationship between temperatures measured by thermocouples (contact) and radiation thermometers (RTs). The procedures are discussed for calibration of light-pipe RTs (LPRTs) using blackbodies

Repeatability of Energy Consumption Test Results for Compact Refrigerators

September 1, 2000
Author(s)
David A. Yashar
Recently, the United States Department of Energy (DOE) has been interested in examining the current procedure that is used to measure the energy consumption of compact refrigerators (ANSI/AHAM HRF-1). As part of the DOE's Appliance Standards Program, NIST
