Evidence for multiple mechanisms underlying surface-electric field noise in ion traps

December 27, 2018
Author(s)
J. A. Sedlacek, J. Stuart, Daniel Slichter, C. D. Bruzewicz, R. McConnell, J. M. Sage, J. Chiaverini
Energetic ion bombardment, or ion milling, of ion-trap electrode surfaces has previously been shown to reduce electric-field noise, a limit to quantum-logic gate fidelity, generated by the surface. Here, using motional heating of a single trapped strontium

In-situ near-field probe microscopy of plasma processing

December 27, 2018
Author(s)
Alexander Tselev, Jeffrey Fagan, Andrei Kolmakov
There exists a great necessity for in situ nanoscale characterization of surfaces and thin films during plasma treatments. To address this need, the current approaches rely on either ‘post mortem' sample microscopy, or in situ optical methods. The latter

Effects of Ionic Strength, Salt, and pH on Aggregation of Boehmite Nanocrystals: Tumbler Small-Angle Neutron and X-ray Scattering and Imaging Analysis

December 26, 2018
Author(s)
L. M. Anovitz, X. Zhang, J. Soltis, E. Nakouzi, A. J. Krzysko, J. Chun, G. K. Schenter, T. R. Graham, K. M. Rosso, J. J. De Yoreo, A. G. Stack, Markus Bleuel, Cedric V. Gagnon, David F. Mildner, J. Ilavsky, I. Kuzmenko
The U.S. government currently spends significant resources annually managing the legacies of the Cold War, including 300 million liters of highly radioactive wastes stored in hundreds of tanks at the Hanford Site (WA) and the Savannah River Site (SC). The

Black phosphorus tunneling field-effect transistors

December 21, 2018
Author(s)
Albert Davydov, Huairuo Zhang, Leonid A. Bendersky
Band-to-band tunneling field-effect transistors (TFETs)1-7 have emerged as promising candidates to replace conventional metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) for low-power integration circuits and have been demonstrated to overcome

Generating Domain Terminologies using Root- and Rule-Based Terms

December 21, 2018
Author(s)
Talapady N. Bhat, John T. Elliott, Ursula R. Kattner, Carelyn E. Campbell, Eswaran Subrahmanian, Ram D. Sriram, Jacob Collard, Monarch Ira
Motivated by the need for exible, intuitive, reusable, and normalized ter- minology for the semantic web, we present a general approach for generat- ing sets of such terminologies from nat- ural language documents. The terms that this approach generates

Hidden Hyperuniformity in Bottlebrush Polymer Melts

December 21, 2018
Author(s)
Alexandros Chremos, Jack F. Douglas
We show that the backbone chains of bottlebrush polymer melts exhibit a hidden hyperuniform packing over a wide temperature range above glass transition temperature. These findings open a venue for a practical design of hyperuniform polymeric materials for

Performance-based design to achieve community resilience

December 21, 2018
Author(s)
Bruce Ellingwood, Naiyu Wang, James Harris, Therese P. McAllister
The resilience of communities depends on the performance of the built environment and on supporting social, economic and public institutions on which the welfare of the community depends. The built environment is susceptible to damage due to a spectrum of

Phonon Localization in Heat Conduction

December 21, 2018
Author(s)
M. N. Luckyanova, J. Mendoza, H. Lu, B. Song, S. Huang, J. Zhou, M. Li., Y. Dong, H. Zhou, J. Garlow, L. Wu, Brian Kirby, Alexander Grutter, Alex A. Puretzky, Y. Zhu, M. S. Dresselhaus, A. Gossard, G. Chen
We report localization-like behavior in phonon heat conduction observed both in measurement of the thermal conductivities of GaAs/AlAs superlattice (SL) thin films with interfacial disorder caused by ErAs nanodots randomly distributed at the interfaces

Spin Waves Across Three-Dimensional, Close-Packed Nanoparticles

December 21, 2018
Author(s)
Kathryn Krycka, James Jennings Rhyne, Samuel D Oberdick, Ahmed M. Abdelgawad, Julie A. Borchers, Yumi Ijiri, Sara A. Majetich, Jeffrey W. Lynn
Inelastic neutron scattering is utilized to measure the spin waves, or magnons, which arise from inter-particle coupling between 8.4 nm ferrite nanoparticles that are self-assembled into a close-packed lattice, yet physically separated by oleic acid

Threat Modeling for Cloud Infrastructures

December 21, 2018
Author(s)
Nawaf Alhebaishi, Lingyu Wang, Anoop Singhal
Today's businesses are increasingly relying on the cloud as an alternative IT solution due to its flexibility and lower cost. Compared to traditional enterprise networks, a cloud infrastructure is typically much larger and more complex. Understanding the

A Study of Capsule Endoscopy Orientation Estimation Using Received Signal Strength

December 20, 2018
Author(s)
Kamran Sayrafian, Katjana Krhac, Mehdi Alasti, Kamya Yazdandoost, Dina Simunic
Comprehensive study of wireless communication for ingestible electronics is a very challenging task. To initiate the study on wireless capsule endoscopy, an innovative immersive platform containing an enhanced 3D human body model has been developed. This
