E. A. Bengio, Damir Senic, Lauren W. Taylor, Robert J. Headrick, Michael King, Peiyu Chen, Charles A. Little, John M. Ladbury, Chris Long, Christopher L. Holloway, Aydin Babakhani, James Booth, Nate Orloff
Early work on carbon nanotube (CNT) antennas indicated that their performance could not match that of metals such as copper. However, recent improvements in fluid phase CNT processing have yielded macroscopic CNT materials with better alignment and

pyLLE: a Fast and User Friendly Lugiato-Lefever Equation Solver

May 24, 2019
Author(s)
Gregory T. Moille, Qing Li, Xiyuan Lu, Kartik Srinivasan
The Lugiato-Lefever Equation (LLE), first developed to provide a description of spatial dissipative structures in optical systems, has recently made a significant impact in the integrated photonics community, where it has been adopted to help understand

Root-cause analysis of wear-induced error motion changes of machine tool linear axes

May 23, 2019
Author(s)
Gregory W. Vogl, Jordan Jameson, Andreas Archenti, Karoly Szipka, M A. Donmez
Manufacturers need online methods that give updated information of system capabilities to know and predict the performance of their machine tools. Use of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) is attractive for on-machine condition monitoring, so methods based

The Design and Development of a Tabletop Kibble Balance at NIST

May 23, 2019
Author(s)
Leon S. Chao, Frank C. Seifert, Darine El Haddad, Julian Stirling, David B. Newell, Stephan Schlamminger
On November 16, 2018, the 26th General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) voted unanimously to revise the International System of Units (SI) from a system built on seven base units to one built on seven defining constants and will officially become

Classical polarimetry with a twist: a compact, geometric approach

May 22, 2019
Author(s)
William Sparks, Thomas Germer, Rebecca M. Sparks
We present an approach to classical polarimetry which requires no moving parts, is compact and robust, and which encodes the complete polarization information on a single data frame, accomplished by replacing the rotation of components such as wave plates

Controlled Growth of Polyamide Films atop Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Hydrogels using Gel- Liquid Interfacial Polymerization

May 22, 2019
Author(s)
Mengyuan Wang, Christopher Stafford, Lewis M. Cox, Adrienne K. Blevins, Masoud Aghajani, Jason Killgore, Yifu Ding
Interfacially polymerized polyamide (PA) layers dictate the permselective performance of thin film composite (TFC) membranes. Extensive effort has been focused on understanding and ultimately controlling the structure and morphology of the PA layers on

Manufacturing Profile Implementation Methodology for a Robotic Workcell

May 22, 2019
Author(s)
Timothy A. Zimmerman
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has constructed a testbed to measure the performance impact of cybersecurity technologies on Industrial Control Systems (ICS). The testbed was chosen to support the implementation of the Cybersecurity

Scatter corrections in x-ray computed tomography: a physics-based analysis

May 22, 2019
Author(s)
Zachary H. Levine, Timothy Blattner, Adele Peskin, Adam L. Pintar
Fundamental limits for the calculation of scattering corrections within X-ray computed tomography (CT) are found within the independent atom approximation from an analysis of the cross sections, CT geometry, and the Nyquist sampling theorem, suggesting

The role of Si in GaN/AlN/Si(111) PAMBE Epitaxy: Polarity and Inversion

May 22, 2019
Author(s)
Alexana Roshko, Matthew D. Brubaker, Paul T. Blanchard, Todd E. Harvey, Kristine A. Bertness
The microstructure, polarity and Si distribution in AlN/GaN layers grown by PAMBE on Si(111) was assessed by STEM. Samples grown under both metal- and nitrogen-rich conditions contained defects at the AlN/Si interface which suggest formation of an Al-Si

Development and Interlaboratory Evaluation of a NIST Reference Material RM 8366 for EGFR and MET Gene Copy Number Measurements
