Yohan Yoon, Wei-Chang Yang, Dongheon Ha, Paul M. Haney, Daniel Hirsch, Heayoung Yoon, Renu Sharma, Nikolai Zhitenev
In this work, we employ two techniques, near-field scanning photocurrent microscopy (NSPM) and transmission electron microscope based cathodoluminescence spectroscopy (TEM-CL), to analyze the nanoscale electrical and optical properties of CdTe solar cells

Cast Vote Records Common Data Format Specification Version 1.0

November 19, 2019
Author(s)
John P. Wack
This document is a specification for a common data format for cast vote records (CVR) produced by vote-capture devices such as ballot scanners. It supports the interoperable export of CVRs from these devices and the interoperable import and export of CVRs

Damping Enhancement in Coherent Ferrite-Insulating-Paramagnet Bilayers

November 19, 2019
Author(s)
Jacob J. Wisser, Alexander Grutter, Dustin A. Gilbert, Alpha T. N'Diaye, Christoph Klewe, Padraic Shafer, Elke Arenholz, Yuri Suzuki, Satoru Emori
High-quality epitaxial ferrites, such as low-damping MgAl-ferrite (MAFO), are promising nanosclae building blocks for all-oxide heterostructures driven by pure spin current. However, the impact of oxide interfaces on spin dynamics in such heterostructures

Dynamic Equivalence between Soft Star Polymers and Hard Spheres

November 19, 2019
Author(s)
Zhe Wang, Antonio Faraone, Panchao Yin, Lionel Porcar, Yun Liu, Changwoo Do, Kunlun Hong, Wei-Ren Chen
We measure a series of star polymer dispersions to study the dynamics of soft colloidal liquids. We find that as the concentration increases, the slowing of the long-time self-diffusivity of the star polymer, normalized by the short-time self-diffusivity

Eutectic Formation, V/III Ratio and Controlled Polarity Inversion in Nitrides on Silicon

November 19, 2019
Author(s)
Alexana Roshko, Matthew D. Brubaker, Paul T. Blanchard, Todd E. Harvey, Kristine A. Bertness
The crystallographic polarity of AlN grown on Si(111) by plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy is intentionally inverted from N-polar to Al-polar at a planar boundary. The position of the inversion boundary is controlled by a two-step growth process that

Forced Edges and Graph Structure

November 19, 2019
Author(s)
Brian D. Cloteaux
For a degree sequence, its set of forced edges are the edges that appear in every realization of that sequence, while its forbidden edges appear in no realization. We examine sequences with forced or forbidden edges, showing relationships between these

Geometry Entrapment in Walk-on-Subdomains

November 19, 2019
Author(s)
Walid Keyrouz, Preston Hamlin, W. J. Thrasher, Michael V. Mascagni
One method of computing the electrostatic energy of a biomolecule in a solution combines the Walk-On-Spheres and Walk-On-Subdomains Monte Carlo algorithms. In the course of examining an implementation of this method, a performance issue was discovered in

Separation of Specific Single Enantiomer Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes in the Large Diameter Regime

Jeffrey A. Fagan, Ming Zheng, Sofie Cambre, Wim Wenseleers, Benjamin Flavel, Han Li, Stephanie Reich, Georgy Gordeev, Oisin Garrity, Naga Peyyety, Ralph Krupke, Pranauv Selvasundaram
Enantiomer level isolation of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in high concentration and purity for nanotubes greater than 1.1 nm in diameter is demonstrated for the first time using a twostage aqueous two-phase extraction (ATPE) technique. In total 5

A kilopixel array of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors

November 18, 2019

Varun Verma, Adriana Lita, Sae Woo Nam, R P. Mirin, Emma Wollman, William Farr, Matthew Shaw
We present a 1024-element imaging array of superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) using a 32x32 row-column multiplexing architecture. Large arrays are desirable for applications such as imaging, spectroscopy, or particle detection.

NIST Big Data Interoperability Framework: Volume 2, Big Data Taxonomies

November 18, 2019
Author(s)
Wo L. Chang, Nancy Grady
Big Data is a term used to describe the large amount of data in the networked, digitized, sensor-laden, information-driven world. While opportunities exist with Big Data, the data can overwhelm traditional technical approaches and the growth of data is

Quantum interference between photons from an atomic ensemble and a remote atomic ion

Many remote-entanglement protocols rely on the generation and interference of photons produced by nodes within a quantum network. Quantum networks based on heterogeneous nodes provide a versatile platform by utilizing the complimentary strengths of the

Influence of Board Spacing on Mitigating Wood Decking Assembly Ignition

November 17, 2019
Author(s)
Samuel L. Manzello, Sayaka Suzuki
As part of recent building code change discussions, it has been suggested that by increasing the spacing of boards, it may be possible to mitigate ignition of wood decking assemblies from wind-driven firebrand showers. An experimental series was undertaken
