In this paper, we combine the recently proposed spherical harmonic expansion (SHE) method [Phys. Rev. X 2017, 7, 031003] with a modified network model to analyze the small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) spectra from deformed entangled polymers. Focusing

Effects of Nitrogen on the Interface Density of States Distribution in 4H-SiC Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors: Super-hyperfine Interactions and Near Interface Silicon Vacancy Energy Levels

November 13, 2018
Author(s)
Mark Anders, Patrick M. Lenahan, Arthur H. Edwards, Peter A. Schultz, Renee M. Van Ginhoven
The performance of SiC-based metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) is greatly enhanced by a post oxidation anneal in NO. These anneals greatly improve effective channel mobilities and substantially decrease interface trap densities

Hierarchically Patterned Elastomeric and Thermoplastic Polymer Films through Nanoimprinting and Ultraviolet Light Exposure

November 13, 2018
Author(s)
Jack F. Douglas, Ying Chen, Manish Kulkarni, Allan Marshall, Alamgir Karim, ZiLu Wang, Xiaoteng Wang, Abdullah Al-Enizi, Ahmed Elzatahry, Andrey V. Dobrynin
We develop a simple and generally applicable method to fabricate hierarchical interfacial patterns in elastomer and thermoplastic polymer films through a combination of nanoimprinting and UVO microlithography. Using this method, tunable and hierarchically

Dephasing of InAs quantum dot p-shell excitons using two-dimensional coherent spectroscopy

November 12, 2018
Author(s)
Galan Moody, Takeshi Suzuki, Rohan Singh, Marc Assman, Manfred Bayer, Arne Ludwig, Andreas Wieck, Steven T. Cundiff
The dephasing mechanisms of p-shell and s-shell excitons in an InAs self-assembled quantum dot ensemble are examined using two-dimensional coherent spectroscopy (2DCS). 2DCS provides a comprehensive picture of how the energy level structure of dots affects

Operating Hydrogen Gas Transmission Pipelines at Pressures above 21 MPa

November 12, 2018
Author(s)
Andrew Slifka, Elizabeth S. Drexler, Robert L. Amaro, Peter Bradley, Damian Lauria
The economical and efficient transportation of hydrogen gas is necessary for it to become a widespread source of energy. One way to improve the economics is to lower the cost of building hydrogen gas pipelines. The recent modification to the ASME B31.12

Evaluation of WRF-Chem Simulated Carbon Dioxide Atmospheric Transport and Emissions in the Baltimore / Washington Metropolitan Area
