Independent single-wavelength ellipsometric measurements of thermally grown silicon dioxide thin films on silicon substrates and data analyses were compared between two laboratories (NIST and VLSI Standards, Inc.) under a Cooperative Research and

This paper presents a technique for permittivity measurements that can be used for either liquids or solid coaxial samples from near dc to gigahertz frequencies.

Sulfur-K [beta] x-ray emission spectra from carbonyl sulfide (OCS) have been measured with resonant excitation at the sulfur K absorption threshold and compared with results of [Δ]SCF and [Δ]DCI calculations. For excitation to the strong 4[pi] absorption
The National Institute of Standards and Technology, in conjunction with the Measurement Science Conference, conducted an industry-needs workshop on February 4, 1998, on issues with U.S. manufacturing companies, particularly smaller ones, may have in
The collection and analysis of software error, fault, and failure data from many high integrity systems may yield reference data for matching development and assurance methods to characteristics of a specific system. Profiles derived from the data may help

This paper examines the measurement uncertainty of small circular features as a function of the sampling strategy; i.e., the number and distribution of measurement points. Specifically, we examine measuring a circular feature using a three-point sampling
Cement-based materials are usually composites, where the matrix consists of cement paste. Cement paste is a material formed from the hydration reaction of cement, usually a calcium silicate material, with water. The microstructure of cement paste changes

We investigate limits on the thermal-response time of supercondcuting transition-edge microcalorimeters. For operation at 0.1 K, we show that the lower limit on the response time of a superconducting transition-edge microcalorimeter is of order 1 5m due to
Supplementary cementitious materials like silica fume, which are added to the cement mix and react with calcium ions in the pore solution, enhance the production of calcium-silicate-hydrate gel and modify the microstructure in other ways. By combining
Over a period of more than a decade the Atomic Spectroscopy Group at NIST has carried out laboratory research to support the observing program of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Our Initial effort concerned the wavelength calibration of GHRS by means of

Additives that increase the amount of charcoal-like residue of carbonaceous char that forms during polymer combustion are very effective fire retardants. However, very little is understood about the detailed structure of char or how it forms. Our research
Beginning on or about April 1, 1997, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) received partial support from SEMATECH to collaborate in a program designated 1997-1998 NIST/SEMATECH Collaboration for Improvement of High-Accuracy Critical
X-ray diffraction topography has been used as a nondestructive characterization tool to investigate single-crystal sapphire for window and dome applications. A variety of examples are shown that demonstrate the utility of x-ray diffraction imaging as a
This bibliography covers publications by the Electricity Division, Electronics and Electrical Engineering Laboratory, National Institute and Technology, plus those of the former Electrosystems and Electricity Divisions beginning with 1968. For convenience

Ceramic-element transducers have been used successfully to calibrate aluminum flat-bottom-hole (FBH) reference blocks according to the American Society for Testing and Materials [ASTM] E127 protocol. Six different transducers with nominal resonance
This paper describes a prototype security testing tool that is currently under development at NIST. This prototype tool uses autonomous mobile agents to perform distributed, fault-tolerant, and adaptive network security testing. The security testing
This bulletin summarizes the findings of a U.S. General Accounting Office (GA)) study of the information security programs and management practices of eight non-federal organizations. The focus was on the management framework that the organizations had
The partitioning of lead between phases in the nominal five-phase assemblage: (Pb,Bi) 3Sr 2Ca 2CuO x + (Ca,Sr) 2PbO 4 + (Bi,Pb) 2Sr 2CaCu 2O x + (Ca,Sr)O + Liquid has been investigated in an atmosphere of 7.5% O 2925% Ar. Samples were studied using a
