The Cooper Pair Transistor

September 17, 2010
Author(s)
Jose A. Aumentado
The Cooper pair transistor (CPT) is a superconducting electrometer that has applications in quantum information as well as fundamental superconductivity studies. Since it operates in a near-dissipationless mode, it has potential as a minimally invasive

A Statistical Test Suite for Random and Pseudorandom Number Generators for Cryptographic Applications

September 16, 2010
Author(s)
Lawrence E. Bassham, Andrew L. Rukhin, Juan Soto, James R. Nechvatal, Miles E. Smid, Stefan D. Leigh, M Levenson, M Vangel, Nathanael A. Heckert, D L. Banks
This paper discusses some aspects of selecting and testing random and pseudorandom number generators. The outputs of such generators may be used in many cryptographic applications, such as the generation of key material. Generators suitable for use in

Photoresist latent and developer images as probed by neutron reflectivity methods

September 16, 2010
Author(s)
Vivek M. Prabhu, Shuhui Kang, David L. VanderHart, Eric K. Lin, Wen-Li Wu
Photoresist materials enable the fabrication of advanced integrated circuits with ever decreasing feature sizes. As next-generation light sources are developed, using extreme ultraviolet light of wavelength 13.5 nm, these highly-tuned formulations must

Stability and Surface Topography Evolution in Nanoimprinted Polymer Patterns under a Thermal Gradient

September 16, 2010
Author(s)
Christopher Soles, Yifu Ding, H. Jerry Qi, Kyle J. Alvine, Hyun W. Ro, Dae Up Ahn, Jack F. Douglas, Sheng Lin-Gibson
Nanostructures created in polymer films by nanoimprint lithography are subject to large stresses, both those from the imprinting processes as well as stresses arising from the intrinsic thermodynamic instabilities. These stresses can induce nanostructure

Thermochemistry of Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquids:Experiment and First-Principles Calculations

September 16, 2010
Author(s)
Chris D. Muzny, Sergey P. Verevkin, Vladimir N. Emel'yanenko, Dzmitry H. Zaitsau, Andreas Heintz, Michael D. Frenkel
In this work the molar enthalpy of formation of the ionic liquid ethyl-methylimidazolium dicyanoamide in the gaseous phase [C2MIM][N(CN)2] was measured by means of combustion calorimetry and enthalpy of vaporization using transpiration. Available scarce

Vacancy-Hydrogen Defects in Aluminum Formed During Aqueous Dissolution

September 16, 2010
Author(s)
K. R. Hebert, J. Ai, Gery R. Stafford, K. M. Ho, C. Z. Wang
Aqueous dissolution of aluminum is accompanied by extensive absorption of hydrogen, along with formation of hydride and voids. We used in situ stress measurements to discriminate between absorption mechanisms leading to either interstitial or vacancy

Applicability of Nonlinear Multiple-Degree-of-Freedom Modeling for Design

September 15, 2010
Author(s)
Michael Valley, Mark Aschheim, Craig Comartin, William Holmes, Helmut Krawinkler, Mark Sinclair
In 2008, NIST initiated Task Order 68241 entitled "Improved Nonlinear Static Seismic Analysis Procedures – Multiple-Degree-of-Freedom Modeling." The purpose of this project was to conduct further studies on multiple-degree-of-freedom effects as outlined in
