Chao Wang, Yunlin Lei, Winnie Wong-Ng, Xingxing Wu, Qiang Gu, Wei Zhou, Shouyu Wang, Weifang Liu
Many ferroelectric (FE) organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites (OIHPs) show great promise in the fields of photovoltaic cells and information memory devices. We systematically investigated the FE, optical, and electric properties of quasi-one-dimensional

Motional Squeezing for Trapped Ion Transport and Separation

August 20, 2021
Author(s)
Robert Sutherland, Shaun Burd, Daniel Slichter, Stephen Libby, Dietrich Leibfried
Transport, separation, and merging of trapped ion crystals are essential operations for most large-scale quantum computing architectures. In this Letter, we develop a theoretical framework that describes the dynamics of ions in time-varying potentials with

Alec Saville, Emily Mitchell, Sven Vogel, Adam Abel Creuziger, Jake Benzing, Kester Clarke, Jonah Klemm-Toole, Amy Clarke
This work presents a detailed instructional demonstration using the Rietveld refinement software MAUD for evaluating the crystallographic texture of single- and dual-phase materials, as applied to High-Pressure-Preferred-Orientation (HIPPO) neutron

Mutual control of stochastic switching for two electrically coupled superparamagnetic tunnel junctions

August 19, 2021
Author(s)
Philippe Talatchian, Matthew Daniels, Advait Madhavan, Matthew Pufall, Emilie Jue, William Rippard, Jabez J. McClelland, Mark Stiles
Superparamagnetic tunnel junctions (SMTJs) are promising sources for the randomness required by some compact and energy-efficient computing schemes. Coupling them gives rise to collective behavior that could be useful for cognitive computing. We use a

Weyl-mediated helical magnetism in NdAlSi

Nondestructive microbeam X-ray fluorescence (µXRF) spectrometry has been used to investigate the elemental microheterogeneity in a candidate nuclear forensics reference material (RM), NIST SRM 4600: Surrogate Post-detonation Urban Debris. Using a principal

Feasability and Performance Analysis of Automating Engineering Change Requests

August 18, 2021
Author(s)
Michael Sharp, Thomas D. Hedberg Jr., William Z. Bernstein, Soonjo Kwon
Engineering change is a non-value-added activity that happens as a product progresses through its lifecycle. Engineering change is a significant cost sink in many projects. While avoiding and mitigating the risk of change is the ideal approach, mistakes

Segmentation of Addictive Manufacturing Defects Using U-Net

August 17, 2021
Author(s)
Vivian Wong, Max Ferguson, Kincho Law, Yung-Tsun Lee, Paul Witherell
Additive manufacturing (AM) provides design flexibility and allows rapid fabrications of parts with complex geometries. The presence of internal defects, however, can lead to deficit performance of the fabricated part. X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) is a

Use of Traveling Wave Signatures in Medium Voltage Distribution Systems for fault detection and location
