Solvent-Pore Interactions in the Easgle Ford Shale Formation

February 15, 2019
Author(s)
Victoria H. DiStefano, Joanna McFarlane, Andrew G. Stack, Edmund Perfect, David F. Mildner, Markus Bleuel, Steve J. Chipera, Kenneth C. Littrell, Michael C. Cheshire, Katherine E. Manz, Lawrence M Anovitz
The effect of solvent extraction on pore space was examined on a suite of samples from the Eagle Ford Shale Formation with varying lithologies and maturities. Several solvents were contacted with shales, extracting the compatible organic matter. The

A General Methodology for Deriving Network Propagation Models of Computer Worms

February 14, 2019
Author(s)
Shuvo Bardhan, Douglas C. Montgomery, James J. Filliben, Nathanael A. Heckert
Externally-launched computer worms which maliciously propagate within networks are one of the most serious and dangerous security threats facing the commercial, political, military, and research community today. With an eye to the ultimate goal of

Author(s)
Qingbin Fan, Wenqi Zhu, Yuzhang Liang, Pengcheng Huo, Cheng Zhang, Amit Agrawal, Kun Huang, Xiangang Luo, Yanqing Lu, Chengwei Qiu, Henri Lezec, Ting Xu
Bending light along arbitrary curvatures is a captivating and popular notion, triggering unprecedented endeavors in achieving quasi-diffraction-free propagation along a curved path in free-space. Much effort has been devoted to achieving this goal in

Monitoring Fast, Voxel-Scale Cure Kinetics via Sample-Coupled-Resonance Photorheology

February 13, 2019
Author(s)
Callie I. Higgins, Lewis M. Cox, Frank W. DelRio, Jason P. Killgore
Photopolymerizable materials are the focus of extensive research across a variety of fields ranging from additive manufacturing to regenerative medicine. However, poorly understood material mechanical and rheological properties during polymerization at the

Porous Zero-Mode Waveguides for Picogram-Level DNA Capture

February 13, 2019
Author(s)
Vivek Jadhav, David Hoogerheide, Jonas Korlach, Meni Wanunu
We have recently shown that nanopore zero-mode waveguides are effective tools for capturing picogram levels of long DNA fragments for single-molecule DNA sequencing. Despite these key advantages, manufacturing of large arrays is not practical due to the

ASTM E2677: Web-based International Standard on Limit of Detection for Explosive Trace Detectors (and More) - Opioids and Ozone

February 12, 2019
Author(s)
R M. Verkouteren, Nathanael A. Heckert, Stefan D. Leigh, Edward R. Sisco, James E. Norris, Jeffrey A. Lawrence, Amber Burns
The performance characteristics of explosive and narcotic trace detectors are mission-critical to agencies worldwide that are charged with protection of the public, defense for mass transit and infrastructure, and the safety of first responders. Commercial

Design, Manufacturing, and Inspection Data for a Three-Component Assembly

February 12, 2019
Author(s)
Thomas D. Hedberg, Michael E. Sharp, Toby M. Maw, Mostafizur M. Rahman, Swati Jadhav, James J. Whicker, Allison Barnard Feeney, Moneer M. Helu
To better understand and address the challenges faced in linking all stages of a manufacturing and design process, an investigative fabrication process was designed and enacted as part of a collaboration between the National Institute of Standards and

Low-Carrier Density and Fragile Magnetism in a Kondo Lattice System

February 12, 2019
Author(s)
Binod K. Rai, Iain W. H. Oswald, Wenjing Ban, C.-L. Huang, V. Loganathan, A. M. Hallas, M. N. Wilson, G. M. Luke, Leland Harriger, Qingzhen Huang, Y. Li, Sami Dzsaber, Julia Y. Chan, N. L. Wang, Silke Paschen, Jeffrey W. Lynn, Andriy H. Nevidomskyy, Pengcheng Dai, Q. Si, E. Morosan
Known low carrier Kondo systems evolve from metallic non-magnetic analogues, while a recent theoretical model for the dilute carrier Kondo limit predicts semimetallic behavior. Very few 4f low carrier Kondo systems have been reported, mostly based on Ce

RF waveform synthesizers with quantum-based voltage accuracy for communications metrology

February 11, 2019
Author(s)
Peter F. Hopkins, Justus A. Brevik, Manuel C. Castellanos Beltran, Nathan E. Flowers-Jacobs, Anna E. Fox, David I. Olaya, Christine A. Donnelly, Paul D. Dresselhaus, Samuel P. Benz
We report on NIST’s development of Josephson junction-based programmable reference sources to synthesize quantum-accurate, spectrally-pure waveforms for characterizing and improving next generation communication devices and systems. The goal is to provide

Stacked Josephson Junctions as inductors for SFQ circuits

February 11, 2019
Author(s)
Manuel C. Castellanos Beltran, David I. Olaya, Adam J. Sirois, Paul D. Dresselhaus, Samuel P. Benz, Peter F. Hopkins
In order for Single Flux Quantum (SFQ) circuits to be scaled to densities needed for large-scale integration, typical lithographically-patterned circuit components should be made to be as compact as possible. In this work, we characterize the performance

In Situ Back-Contact Passivation Improves Photovoltage and Fill Factor in Perovskite Solar Cells

Lee J. Richter, Ahmad R. Kirmani, Furui Tan, Hairen Tan, Wei Mingyang, Makhsud I. Saidaminov, Mengxia Liu, Mei Anyi, Peicheng Li, Chih-Shan Tan, Xiwen Gong, Yongbiao Zhao, Ziru Huang, James Z. Fan, Rafael Quintero-Bermudez, Kim Junghwan, Yicheng Zhao, Oleksandr Voznyy, Zheng-Hong Lu, Weifeng Zhang, Edward H. Sargent, Bowen Zhang, Yueye Gao, Feng Zhang
Organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have seen a rapid rise in power conversion efficiencies in recent years; however, they still suffer from interfacial recombination and charge extraction losses at interfaces between the perovskite

Defining 'kind of quantity'

February 8, 2019
Author(s)
David W. Flater
The definition of 'kind of quantity' given in the International Vocabulary of Metrology (VIM), 3rd edition, does not cover the historical meaning of the term as it is most commonly used in metrology. Most of its historical meaning has been merged into

Editorial: (Slight) Expansion in Scope for JPCRD

February 8, 2019
Author(s)
Allan H. Harvey, Donald R. Burgess Jr.
Editorial describing expansion of journal Scope for JPCRD to accept some original experimental and theoretical work if it provides "reference data" that can be used, for example, as a reference for calibrations.
