Models for an Ultraviolet-C Research and Development Consortium

March 25, 2022
Author(s)
Dianne L. Poster, C Cameron Miller, Yaw S. Obeng, John J. Kasianowicz, Michael T. Postek, Norman Horn, Troy Cowan, Richard Martinello
The development of an international, precompetitive, collaborative, ultraviolet (UV) research consortium is discussed as an opportunity to lay the groundwork for a new UV commercial industry and the supply chain to support this industry. History has

Recent Advances in Weyl Semimetal ( MnBi2Se4) and Axion Insulator (MnBi2Te4)

March 25, 2022
Author(s)
Sugata Chowdhury, Kevin Garrity, Francesca Tavazza
Extensive research is currently focused on 2D and 3D magnetic topological insulators (MTIs), as their many novel properties make them excellent candidates for applications in spintronics and quantum computing. Practical MTIs requires a combination of

Entropy transfer from a quantum particle to a classical coherent light field

March 23, 2022
Author(s)
John Bartolotta, Simon Jager, Jarrod Reilly, Matthew Norcia, James K. Thompson, Graeme Smith, Murray Holland
In the eld of light-matter interactions, it is often assumed that a classical light field that interacts with a quantum particle remains almost unchanged and thus contains nearly no information about the manipulated particles. To investigate the validity

Influence of Dimensionality on the Charge Density Wave Phase of 2H-TaSe2

March 23, 2022
Author(s)
Sugata Chowdhury, Albert Rigosi, Heather Hill, David Newell, Angela Hight Walker, Francesca Tavazza, Andrew Briggs
Metallic transition metal dichalcogenides like tantalum diselenide (TaSe2) exhibit exciting behaviors at low temperatures including the emergence of charge density wave (CDW) states. In this work, density functional theory (DFT) is used to classify the

NIST Time and Frequency Bulletin

March 17, 2022
Author(s)
Kelsey Rodriguez
The Time and Frequency Bulletin provides information on performance of time scales and a variety of broadcasts (and related information) to users of the NIST services.

Quantifying Receiver Nonlinearities in VNA Measurements for the WR-15 Waveguide Band

March 15, 2022
Author(s)
Angela Stelson, Aaron Hagerstrom, Jeffrey Jargon, Chris Long
Scattering (S-) parameters are fundamental to numerous microwave quantities including antenna factors, microwave power, and phase. The uncertainty in S-parameter measurements is influenced by the test setup, including instrument noise, drift, position of

Negative quasiprobabilities enhance phase estimation in quantum-optics experiment

March 1, 2022
Author(s)
Noah Lupu-Gladstein, Y. Batuhan Yilmaz, David Arvidsson-Shukur, Aharon Brodutch, Arthur Pang, Aephraim Steinberg, Nicole Halpern
Operator noncommutation, a hallmark of quantum theory, limits measurement precision, according to uncertainty principles. Wielded correctly, though, noncommutation can boost precision. A recent foundational result relates a metrological advantage with

Erratum: Collisions of room temperature helium with ultra-cold lithium and the van-der-Waals bound state of HeLi [Phys. Rev. A 101, 012702 (2020)]

February 28, 2022
Author(s)
Constantinos Makrides, Daniel Barker, James A. Fedchak, Julia Scherschligt, Stephen Eckel, Eite Tiesinga
We have found an error in the computation of the thermally-averaged total elastic rate coefficient for the collision of a room-temperature helium atom with an ultra-cold lithium atom presented. We omitted the factor $2/\sqrt\pi}$ in the normalization over

Towards improved FAIRness of the ThermoML Archive

February 28, 2022
Author(s)
Demian Riccardi, Zachary Trautt, Ala Bazyleva, Eugene Paulechka, Vladimir Diky, Joe W. Magee, Andrei F. Kazakov, Scott Townsend, Chris Muzny
The ThermoML archive is a subset of Thermodynamics Research Center (TRC) data holdings corresponding to cooperation between NIST TRC and five journals: Journal of Chemical Engineering and Data (ISSN: 0021-9568), The Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics (ISSN

Characterization Method of Ionization Chamber Type Detectors

February 25, 2022
Author(s)
Leticia Pibida, Ronaldo Minniti, Miles McCord
A wide variability in accuracy exists among commercial radiation detection instruments used to measure exposure rate or ambient dose equivalent rate. These instruments are used to measure both the radiation background and the radiation field produced by

Toward a New Primary Standardization of Radionuclide Massic Activity Using Microcalorimetry and Quantitative Milligram-Scale Samples

February 24, 2022
Author(s)
Ryan P. Fitzgerald, Bradley Alpert, Dan Becker, Denis E. Bergeron, Richard Essex, Kelsey Morgan, Svetlana Nour, Galen O'Neil, Dan Schmidt, Gordon A. Shaw, Daniel Swetz, R. Michael Verkouteren, Daikang Yan
We present a new paradigm for the primary standardization of radionuclide activity per mass of solution (Bq/g). Two key enabling capabilities are 4π decay-energy spectrometry using chip-scale sub-Kelvin microcalorimeters and direct realization of mass by
