Recommended Auger Parameters for 42 Elemental Solids

December 4, 2011
Author(s)
Cedric J. Powell
Values of the Auger parameter are presented for 42 elemental solids. These values were determined from evaluated Auger-electron kinetic energies and photoelectron binding energies (BEs). Small adjustments were made to earlier values of photoelectron BEs to

A Large-Signal Model of Ferroelectric Thin-Film Transmission Lines"

December 1, 2011
Author(s)
Eduard Rocas, Juan C. Collado Gomez, Jordi Mateu, Nate Orloff, James Booth, Juan M. O'C allaghan
"This work evaluates the microwave nonlinear properties and tuning at RF frequencies of ferroelectric Ba0.3Sr0.7TiO3 thin-films by on-wafer measurements of the second and third-order harmonics and intermodulation products of several coplanar transmission

Development and Certification of Green Tea-Containing Standard Reference Materials

November 30, 2011

Lane C. Sander, Mary Bedner, Michael C. Tims, James H. Yen, David L. Duewer, Barbara J. Porter, Steven J. Christopher, Russell D. Day, Stephen E. Long, John L. Molloy, Karen E. Murphy, Brian E. Lang, Rachel A. Lieberman, Laura J. Wood, M. Payne, M. C. Roman, J. M. Betz, A. NguyenPho, Katherine E. Sharpless, Stephen A. Wise
A suite of three green tea-containing Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) has been issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The materials are characterized for catechins, xanthine alkaloids, theanine, and toxic elements. As many

Environmental Analysis: Persistent Organic Pollutants

November 29, 2011
Author(s)
Lane C. Sander, Michele M. Schantz, Stephen A. Wise
The term “persistent organic pollutants” (POPs) describes a broad range of anthropogenic compounds that are present in the environment. Persistent organic pollutants can be grouped into subclasses based on their original intended uses or chemical

Isotope Dilution Liquid Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry Methods for Fat- and Water-Soluble Vitamins in Nutritional Formulations

November 24, 2011
Author(s)
Karen W. Phinney, Catherine A. Rimmer, Jeanice M. Brown Thomas, Lane C. Sander, Katherine E. Sharpless, Stephen A. Wise
Vitamins are essential to human health, and dietary supplements containing vitamins are widely used by individuals hoping to ensure they have adequate intake of these important nutrients. Measurement of vitamins in nutritional formulations is necessary to

Capacitive readout technique for studies of dissipation in GaN nanowire mechanical resonators

November 11, 2011
Author(s)
Kristine A. Bertness, Joshua R. Montague, Norman A. Sanford, Victor Bright, Charles T. Rogers
A variable-temperature, homodyne reflectometry measurement technique for detecting nanoscale mechanical motion has recently been developed. We have extended this technique to make the first all-electrical measurements of an ensemble of as-grown, c-axis

Characterization of (1-3,1-6)-b-D-Glucan Side Chain Structure Provides the Basis for a New Model of Fungal Cell Wall Rigidity and Flexibility

November 11, 2011
Author(s)
Daniel W. Bearden, Douglas W. Lowman, Lara J. West, Michael F. Wempe, Trevor D. Power, Harry E. Ensley, Ken Haynes, David L. Williams, Michael D. Kruppa
Glucan is a (1-3)-β-linked glucose polymer with (1-6)-β-linked side chains and a major component of fungal cell walls. Glucans provide structural integrity to the fungal cell wall. The nature of the (1-6)-β-linked side chain structure of fungal (1-3,1-6)-β

In situ monitoring of enzyme-catalyzed (co)polymerizations by Raman spectroscopy

November 10, 2011
Author(s)
Matthew T. Hunley, Atul Bhangale, Santanu S. Kundu, Peter M. Johnson, Michael S. Waters, Richard Gross, Kathryn Beers
In situ, fiber optic-based Raman spectroscopy provided real time monitoring of enzyme-catalyzed ring-opening homo- and copolymerizations of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) and δ-valerolactone (δ-VL). A custom designed reactor equipped with in situ fiber optic probe

Findings and Recommendations from the Joint NIST AGA Workshop on Odor Masking

November 1, 2011
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Nancy Rawson, Ali Quaraishi
Since the days of the alchemist, the observation that some substances have a smell while other substances do not has been a source of fascination. The sense of smell, or olfaction, is our least understood sense, however it is important for many human

Microwave measurements of proton tunneling and structural parameters for the propiolic acid - formic acid dimer.

October 21, 2011
Author(s)
Adam M. Daly, Kevin O. Douglass, Laszlo C. Sarkozy, Justin L. Neill, Matt T. Muckle, Daniel P. Zaleski, Brooks H. Pate, Stephen G. Kukolich
Microwave spectra of the propiolic acid-formic acid, (Pro-FA) doubly hydrogen bonded complex were measured in the 1-21 GHz range. Rotational spectra for seven isotopomers were obtained and fit. For the parent isotopomer, a total of 138 a-dipole transitions

Determination of Moisture Content of Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes

October 17, 2011
Author(s)
Rolf L. Zeisler, Rabia Oflaz, Ralph E. Sturgeon, Rick L. Paul, Brian E. Lang, Jeffrey A. Fagan, Joseph W. Lam, Anthony Windust, P Grinberg, Benoit Simard, Christopher T. Kingston
Several techniques were evaluated for the establishment of reliable water/moisture content of single-wall carbon nanotubes. Karl Fischer titration (KF) provides for a direct measure of the water content and was used for benchmarking against results
