Heterogeneous integration for on-chip quantum photonic circuits with single quantum dot devices

October 12, 2017
Author(s)
Marcelo I. Davanco, Liu Jin, Luca Sapienza, Chen-Zhao Zhang, Jose Vinicius De Miranda Cardoso, Varun B. Verma, Richard P. Mirin, Sae Woo Nam, Liu Liu, Kartik A. Srinivasan
Photonic integration is establishing itself as an enabling technology for photonic quantum science, offering considerably greater scalability, stability, and functionality than traditional bulk optics. Here, we develop a scalable, heterogeneous III-V /

Likelihood Ratio as Weight of Forensic Evidence: A Closer Look

October 12, 2017
Author(s)
Hariharan K. Iyer, Steven P. Lund
The forensic science community has increasingly sought quantitative methods for conveying the weight of evidence. Experts from many forensic laboratories summarize their fndings in terms of a likelihood ratio. Several proponents of this approach have

Proceedings of the 2017 Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) Summit

October 12, 2017
Author(s)
Thomas D. Hedberg, Mark G. Carlisle
On April 3-6, 2017, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) hosted the Model- Based Enterprise (MBE) Summit to identify challenges, research, implementation issues, and les- sons learned in manufacturing and quality assurance where a

Local Breaking of Fourfold Rotational Symmetry by Short-Range Magnetic Order in Heavily Overdoped Ba(Fe 1-x Cu x ) 2 As 2

October 11, 2017
Author(s)
Weiyi Wang, Yu Song, Ding Hu, Yu Li, Rui Zhang, Leland Harriger, Wei Tian, Huibo Cao, Pengcheng Dai
We investigate Cu-doped Ba(Fe 1-xCu x) 2As 2 with transport, magnetic susceptibility, and elastic neutron scattering measurements. In the heavily Cu-doped regime where long-range stripe-type antiferromagnetic order in BaFe 2As 2 is suppressed, Ba(Fe 1-xCu

Microwave SQUID Multiplexer for Cosmic Microwave Background Imagers

October 11, 2017
Author(s)
Bradley J. Dober, Daniel T. Becker, Douglas A. Bennett, Sean A. Bryan, Shannon M. Duff, Johnathon D. Gard, James P. Hays-Wehle, Johannes Hubmayr, John A. Mates, Carl D. Reintsema, Leila R. Vale
Key performance characteristics are demonstrated for the microwave SQUID multiplexer (µmux) coupled to transition edge sensor (TES) bolometers that have been optimized for cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations. In a 64-channel demonstration, we

Structural, Chemical, and Dynamical Frustration: Origins of Superionic Conductivity in closo-Borate Solid Electrolytes

October 11, 2017
Author(s)
Kyoung E. Kweon, Joel B. Varley, Patrick Shea, Nicole Adelstein, Prateek Mehta, Tae Wook Heo, Terrence J. Udovic, Vitalie Stavila, Brandon C. Wood
Li 2B 12H 12 and Na 2B^12^H 12 closoboranes exhibit unusually high ionic conductivity, making them attractive as a new class of candidate electrolytes in solid-state Li- and Na-ion batteries. However, further optimization of these materials requires a

Sucrose density gradient centrifugation for efficient separation of engineered nanoparticles from a model organism, Caenorhabditis elegans

October 11, 2017
Author(s)
Monique E. Johnson, Antonio R. Montoro Bustos, Elijah J. Petersen, Shannon K. Hanna, Karen E. Murphy, Lee L. Yu, Bryant C. Nelson, Michael R. Winchester
This protocol describes a strategy for separating Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) from engineered nanomaterials, a critical step for accurate quantification in uptake studies. Conventional rinsing procedures, typically comprised of water or buffer

Chain Conformation near the Buried Interface in Nanoparticle-Stabilized Polymer Thin Films

October 10, 2017
Author(s)
Deborah A. Barkley, Naisheng Jiang, Mani Sen, Maya K. Endoh, Jonathan G. Rudick, Tadanori Koga, Yugang Zhang, Oleg Gang, Guangcui Yuan, Sushil K. Satija, Daisuke Kawaguchi, Keiji Tanaka, Alamgir Karim
It is known that when nanoparticles are added to polymer thin films, they often migrate to the film-substrate interface and form an "immobile interfacial layer", which has been believed as the origin of suppression of dewetting. We here report an

Domain Formation in the Type-II/1 Superconductor Niobium: Interplay of Pinning, Geometry, and Attractive Vortex-Vortex Interaction

October 10, 2017
Author(s)
Tommy Reimann, Michael Schulz, David F. Mildner, Markus Bleuel, Annie Brulet, Ralph P. Harti, Georg Benka, Andreas Bauer, Peter Boni, Sebastian Muhlbauer
Vortex attraction which can cause a bundling of vortices has been observed in a multitude of type-II superconductors, While its underlying mechanisms have been extensively studied, the morphology of the emerging vortex superstructure has only been weakly

Exploratory Lens Model of Decision-Making in a Potential Phishing Attack Scenario

October 10, 2017
Author(s)
Franklin Tamborello, Kristen K. Greene
Phishing, the transmission of a message spoofing a legitimate sender about a legitimate subject with intent to perform malicious activity, causes a tremendous and rapidly-increasing amount of damage to American information systems and users annually. This

Liquid Structure with Nano-Heterogeneity Promotes Cationic Transport in Concentrated Electrolytes

October 10, 2017

Oleg Borodin, Liumin Suo, Mallory Gobet, Xiaoming Ren, Fei Wang, Antonio Faraone, Jing Peng, Marco Olguin, Marshall Schroeder, Michael S. Ding, Eric Gobrogge, Arthur von Wald Cresce, Stephen Munoz, Joseph Dura, Steve Greenbaum, Chunsheng Wang, Kang Xu
Using molecular dynamics simulations, small angle neutron scattering and a variety of spectroscopic techniques, we evaluated the ion solvation and transport behaviors in aqueous electrolytes containing bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI). We

vPROM: vSwitch Enhanced Programmable Measurement in SDN

October 10, 2017
Author(s)
An Wang, Yang Guo, Songqing Chen, Fang Hao, T.V. Lakshman, Douglas C. Montgomery, Kotikalapudi Sriram
Network programmability is a salient feature of Software Defined Networking (SDN), which allows users to program network applications with the perception that the underlying network is a single device. While still at an early stage of development, SDN

Vulnerability and Robustness of Civil Infrastructure Systems to Hurricanes

October 10, 2017
Author(s)
Shuoqi Wang, Dorothy Reed
Civil infrastructure systems play an important role in community resilience. Without proper functioning of the infrastructure, especially power delivery, society will not recover quickly from disruptive events, such as hurricanes. In this paper, the

Nanowire Aptasensors for Electrochemical Detection of Cell-Secreted Cytokines

Ying Liu, Ali Rahimian, Sergiy Krylyuk, Tam Vu, Bruno Crulhas, Gulnaz Stybayeva, Dong-Sik Shin, Albert Davydov, Alexander Revzin, Meruyert Imanbekova
Cytokines are small proteins secreted by immune cells in response to pathogens/infections; therefore these proteins can be used in diagnosing infectious diseases. For example, release of a cytokine interferon (IFN)-γ from T-cells is used for blood-based
