Versatile silicon-waveguide supercontinuum for coherent mid-infrared spectroscopy

March 6, 2018
Author(s)
Nima Nader, Daniel Maser, Flavio Caldas da Cruz, Abijith S. Kowligy, Henry R. Timmers, Jeffrey T. Chiles, Connor D. Fredrick, Daron A. Westly, Richard P. Mirin, Jeffrey M. Shainline, Scott A. Diddams
Infrared spectroscopy is a powerful tool for basic and applied science. The rich “spectral fingerprints” of compounds in the 3 um - 20 um region provide a means to uniquely identify the molecular structure for applications that include fundamental

Detection and Quantification of Graphene Family Nanomaterials in the Environment

March 5, 2018
Author(s)
David Goodwin, Adeyemi Adeyele, Li Piin Sung, Kay Ho, Robert Burgess, Elijah Petersen
An increase in production of commercial products containing graphene-family nanomaterials (GFNs) has led to concern over their release into the environment. The fate and potential ecotoxicological effects of GFNs in the environment are currently unclear

Imaging catalytic CO2 reduction on Cu2O (110) -- A First-Principles study

March 5, 2018
Author(s)
Eric L. Shirley, John T. Vinson, Liang Li, Maria K. Chan, Jeffry Greeley, Jeffrey R. Guest, Rui Zhang
Balancing global energy needs against increasing greenhouse gas emissions requires new methods for efficient CO2 reduction. While photoreduction of CO2 is promising, the rational design of photocatalysts hinges on precise characterization of the surface

Relating the Electrical Resistance of Fresh Concrete to Mixture Proportions

March 5, 2018
Author(s)
K H. Obla, Rongjin Hong, Stuart Sherman, Dale P. Bentz, Scott Jones
Characterization of fresh concrete is critical for assuring the quality of our nation's constructed infrastructure. While fresh concrete arriving at a job site in a ready-mixed concrete truck is typically characterized by measuring temperature, slump, unit

Remote Bias Induced Electrostatic Force Microscopy for Subsurface Imaging

March 5, 2018
Author(s)
Joseph J. Kopanski, Lin You, Yaw S. Obeng
Contrast in electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) depends on the electrostatic force between the tip and sample. In the related technique, scanning Kelvin force microscopy (SKFM), contrast arises from the force due to the capacitance gradient with tip-to

Intrinsic Orbital Angular Momentum States of Neutrons

March 2, 2018
Author(s)
Ronald L. Cappelletti, Terrence J Jach, John T. Vinson
A recent neutron interferometry experiment attempted to observe the orbital angular momentum (OAM) of neutron de Broglie waves of neutron de Broglie waves using a spiral phase (SPP) (Nature 525, 504 (2015) [1]). Based upon conventional neutron optical

NIST Standards for Measurement, Instrument Calibration, and Quantification of Gaseous Atmospheric Species

March 2, 2018
Author(s)
George C. Rhoderick, Michael E. Kelley, Walter R. Miller Jr., James E. Norris, Jennifer Carney, Lyn Gameson, Christina Cecelski, Cassie Goodman, Abneesh Srivastava, Joseph Hodges
There are many gas species present in the atmosphere that are associated with the earth’s climate. These compounds absorb and emit radiation, a process which is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect. The major greenhouse gases in the earth’s

Synthetic Antiferromagnetic Spintronics

March 2, 2018
Author(s)
Rembert Duine, Kyung Jin Lee, Stuart S. Parkin, Mark D. Stiles
Spintronic and nanomagnetic devices often derive their functionality from layers of different materials and the interfaces between them. This is especially true for synthetic antiferromagnets — two or more ferromagnetic layers aligned in antiparallel

A Framework to Enable Multiple Coexisting Internet of Things Applications

March 1, 2018
Author(s)
Wei Yu, Hanlin Zhang, Yalong Wu, David W. Griffith, Nada T. Golmie
Internet of Things (IoT) uses modern information communication technologies to connect massive numbers of objects and support numerous smart critical infrastructure applications (smart grid, smart cites, etc.). To meet the diverse performance requirements

A Multiscale Framework for the Prediction of Concrete Self-Desiccation

March 1, 2018
Author(s)
Madura Pathirage, Dale P. Bentz, Giovanni Di Luzio, Enrico Masoero, Gianluca Cusatis
Cement hydration in concrete and mortar has been studied thoroughly over the past 50 years. To fully understand hydration in concrete and predict the evolution of the hygral, thermal, and mechanical properties at the structural level, one needs to study

Characterization of the NISTmAb Reference Material using Small-Angle Scattering and Molecular Simulation Part I: Dilute Protein Structures

March 1, 2018
Author(s)
Maria Monica Castellanos Mantilla, Steven C Howell, David T. Gallagher, Joseph E. Curtis
Both conformational and colloidal stability of therapeutic proteins must be closely monitored and thoroughly characterized to assess the long-term viability of drug products. In these series of papers on small-angle scattering, we characterize the IgG1

Development of an LC-MS/MS peptide mapping protocol for the NISTmAb

March 1, 2018
Author(s)
Catherine A. Mouchahoir, John E. Schiel
Peptide mapping is a component of the analytical toolbox used within the biopharmaceutical industry to aid in the identity confirmation of a protein therapeutic and to monitor degradative events such as oxidation or deamidation. These methods offer the

Do archaea need an origin of replication?

March 1, 2018
Author(s)
Lori Kelman, Zvi Kelman
Chromosomal DNA replication starts at a specific sequence called an origin of replication. Until recently, all archaeal organisms were thought to require origins to replicate their chromosomes. It was recently discovered that some species do not utilize

Estimating Error Rates for Firearm Evidence Identifications in Forensic Science

March 1, 2018
Author(s)
Jun-Feng Song, Theodore V. Vorburger, Wei Chu, James H. Yen, Johannes A. Soons, D Ott, Nien F. Zhang
Estimating error rates for firearm evidence identification is a fundamental challenge in forensic science. This paper describes the recently developed Congruent Matching Cells (CMC) method for image comparisons, its application to firearm identification

FEASST: Free Energy and Advanced Sampling Simulation Toolkit

March 1, 2018
Author(s)
Harold W. Hatch, Nathan Mahynski, Vincent K. Shen
The Free Energy and Advanced Sampling Simulation Toolkit (FEASST) is a free, open-source, modular program to conduct molecular and particle-based simulations with Metropolis, Wang-Landau and Transition-Matrix Monte Carlo methods. FEASST is implemented in C
