Demonstration of Achromatic Cold-Neutron Microscope Utilizing Axisymmetric Focusing Mirrors.

April 21, 2013
Author(s)
Daniel S. Hussey, D. Liu, M. V. Gubarev, D Ramsey, David L. Jacobson, Muhammad D. Arif, D. E. Moncton, B. Khaykovich
An achromatic cold-neutron microscope with magnification 4 is demonstrated. The image-forming optics is made of nested coaxial mirrors of full figures of revolution, so-called Wolter optics. The spatial resolution, field of view, and depth of focus are

Temperature Effect on the Nanostructure of SDS Micelles in Water

April 11, 2013
Author(s)
Boualem Hammouda
Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactants form micelles when dissolved in water. These are formed of a hydrocarbon core and hydrophilic ionic surface. The small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) technique was used with deuterated water (D 2O) in order to

Design of remnant magnetization FeCoV films as compact, heatless neutron spin rotators

April 5, 2013
Author(s)
Michael G. Huber, M. O. Abutaleb, Dimitry A. Pushin, Charles F. Majkrzak, Muhammad Arif, D G. Cory
We introduce a design of a neutron spin rotator for applications with space and temperature constraints. These passive devices employ remnant magnetization Fe- CoV thin films and can be tuned experimentally to achieve arbitrary rotation of an incident

Event Identification in He-3 Proportional Counters Using Risetime Discrimination

April 2, 2013
Author(s)
Jeffrey S. Nico, T J. Langford, Christopher D. Bass, E J. Beise, D. K. Erwin, Craig Heimbach
We present a straightforward method for particle identification and background rejection in He-3 proportional counters for use in neutron detection. By measuring the risetime and pulse height of the preamplifier signals, one may define a region in the

Solution Conformations of Prototype Foamy Virus Integrase and Its Stable Synaptic Complex with U5 Viral DNA

November 1, 2012
Author(s)
Kushol Gupta, Joseph E. Curtis, Susan N. Krueger, Young Hwang, Peter Cherepanov, Frederic Bushman, Gregory D. Van Duyne
The recently determined crystal structures of prototype foamy virus integrase (PFV IN) in complex with viral DNA and target DNA reveal the first high-resolution insights into the nucleoprotein intermediates involved in retroviral integration. Using small

Search for a T-odd, P-even Triple Correlation in Neutron Decay

September 14, 2012
Author(s)
Jeffrey S. Nico, T E. Chupp, K P. Coulter, R L. Cooper, S. J. Freeman, B. K. Fujikawa, A. Garcia, Gordon L. Jones, Hans P. Mumm, Alan K. Thompson, C A. Trull, F. E. Wiefeldt, J. F. Wilkerson
Time-reversal-invariance (T) violation, or equivalently, assuming charge-conjugation-parity-time-reversal (CPT) invariance, CP violation may explain the observed cosmological baryon asymmetry as well as signal physics beyond the Standard Model. In the

A New Limit on Time-Reversal Violation in Beta Decay

September 2, 2012
Author(s)
Hans P. Mumm, T E. Chupp, K P. Coulter, R L. Cooper, S J. Freedman, B. K. Fujikawa, A. Garcia, Gordon L. Jones, Jeffrey S. Nico, Alan K. Thompson, C A. Trull, J. F. Wilkerson, F. E. Wiefeldt
We report the results of an improved determination of the triple correlation DP • (p_e × p_v) that can be used to limit possible time-reversal invariance in the beta decay of polarized neutrons and constrain extensions to the Standard Model. Our result is

Vertically Segregated Structure and Properties of small molecule-polymer blend semiconductors for organic thin film transistors

August 27, 2012
Author(s)
Nayool Shin, Dean DeLongchamp, Jihoon Kang, Regis J. Kline, Lee J. Richter, Vivek Prabhu, Balaji Purushothamanc, John E. Anthony, Do Y. Yoon
The phase-segregated structure and the electrical properties of thin film blends of the small-molecule semiconductor fluorinated 5,11-bis(triethylsilylethynyl) anthradithiophene with insulating binder polymers were studied for organic thin film transistor

High-resolution neutron radiography of through-plane liquid water distribution in polymer electrolyte membrane and gas diffusion layer

August 14, 2012
Author(s)
Daniel S. Hussey, David L. Jacobson, Richard Fu, Ugur Pasaogullari, Takeshi Shiomi, Yuichiro Tabuchi
We re-investigate our previously studied water transport phenomena under nonisothermal conditions by measuring the through-plane liquid water distribution across PEFC components with the state-of-the-art high-resolution neutron radiography. A corrective

Solution-phase and Magnetic Approach Towards Understanding Iron Gall Inks

August 13, 2012
Author(s)
Harshita Kumari, Steven R. Kline, Cindi L. Dennis, Andrew V. Mossine, Rick L. Paul, Carol A. Deakyne, Jerry L. Atwood
Crystallization of compounds of iron with polyphenols, such as iron gall inks, has been an ongoing challenge. As with iron-gall inks, iron complexes of 1,2,3-trihydroxphenol-containing marocycles have also proved difficult to crystallize. Despite this

A gamma and X-ray dector for cryogenic, high magnetic field applications

July 13, 2012

Thomas R. Gentile, R L. Cooper, R. Alarcon, M J. Bales, E J. Beise, H Breuer, J. Byrne, T E. Chupp, Kevin J. Coakley, Maynard S. Dewey, Changbo Fu, Hans P. Mumm, Jeffrey S. Nico, B. O'Neill, K. Pulliam, Alan Keith Thompson, F E. Wietfeldt
As part of an experiment to measure the spectrum of photons emitted in beta-decay of the free neu- tron, we developed and operated a detector consisting of 12 bismuth germanate (BGO) crystals coupled to avalanche photodiodes (APDs). The detector was

In-situ Polarized 3He system for the Magnetism Reflectometer at the Spallation Neutron Source

We report on the in-situ polarized 3He neutron polarization analyzer developed for the time-of-flight Magnetism Reflectometer (MAGICS) at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Using the spin exchange optical pumping

Pronounced micro-segregation in a sorbitol water mixture observed through variable temperature neutron scattering

Shin G. Chou, Sheila Khodadadi, Joseph E. Curtis, Susan Krueger, Evgenyi Shalaev, Alan Soper, Andy Fitch, T Narayanan, Michael Szutucki, Marcus T. Cicerone
In this study, we use small and wide angle X-ray and neutron scattering measurements, to study the structure of concentrated sorbitol solutions and glasses at different temperatures. The analysis of the data suggests the water forms clusters with a

Neutron reflectivity characterization of the photoacid reaction-diffusion latent and developed images of molecular resists for extreme-ultraviolet lithography

Lithographic feature size requirements have approached a few radius of gyration of chemically-amplified photoresist polymers used in thin film patterning. Further, the feature dimensions are commensurate with the photoacid diffusion length that defines the
