Simulation-aided Correlations for the Dielectric Constant of H2S, SO2, and SF6

August 16, 2017
Author(s)
Allan H. Harvey, Raymond D. Mountain
A new method is developed for correlating the static dielectric constant of polar fluids over wide ranges of conditions where few experimental data exist. Molecular dynamics simulations are used to establish the temperature and density dependence of the

Single Molecule Nanopore Spectrometry for Peptide Detection

August 15, 2017
Author(s)
Amy Chavis, Joseph Robertson, Joseph E. Reiner, Kyle Brady, Grrace Hatmaker, Nuwan Kothalawala
Sensing and characterization of water-soluble peptides is of critical importance in a wide variety of bioapplications. Single molecule nanopore spectrometry (SMNS) is based on the idea that one can use biological protein nanopores to resolve different

Epitaxially-grown self-assembled Bi2Se3/Bi2MnSe4 multilayer heterostructures

August 14, 2017
Author(s)
Joseph A. Hagmann, Xiang Li, Si-Ning Dong, Sergei Rouvimov, Sujitra J. Pookpanratana, Kin Man Yu, Tatyana Orlova, Curt A. Richter, David G. Seiler, Xinyu Liu, Jacek K. Furdyna, Margaret Dobrowolska
Progress in understanding topologically non-trivial systems offers the promise of predicting novel systems that demonstrate the remarkable properties associated with topological systems, such as unidirectional spin-polarized surface current and the

A Photonic MEMS Accelerometer with a Low-Finesse Hemispherical Microcavity Readout

August 13, 2017
Author(s)
Yiliang Bao, Feng Zhou, Thomas W. LeBrun, Jason J. Gorman
This paper describes the design, fabrication, and testing of a photonic MEMS accelerometer that uses a hemispherical microcavity to transduce the motion of the proof mass. The cavity design provides stable operation that is relatively tolerant of

Surface interaction parameter measurement of solvated polymers via model end-tethered chains

August 11, 2017
Author(s)
Richard J. Sheridan, Sara V. Orski, Ronald L. Jones, Sushil K. Satija, Kathryn L. Beers
We present a method for the direct measurement of the relative energy of interaction between a solvated polymer and a solid interface. By tethering linear chains covalently to the surface, we ensured the idealized and constant configuration of polymer

Weld formation during material extrusion additive manufacturing

August 11, 2017
Author(s)
Jonathan E. Seppala, Seung Hoon Han, Kaitlyn E. Hillgartner, Chelsea S. Davis, Kalman D. Migler
Material extrusion (ME) is a layer-by-layer additive manufacturing process that is now used in personal and commercial production where prototyping and customization are required. However, parts produced from ME frequently exhibit poor mechanical

A Boltzmann Constant Determination Based on Johnson Noise Thermometry

August 10, 2017
Author(s)
Nathan E. Flowers-Jacobs, Alessio Pollarolo, Kevin J. Coakley, Anna E. Fox, Horst Rogalla, Weston L. Tew, Samuel P. Benz
A value for the Boltzmann constant was measured electronically using an improved version of the Johnson Noise Thermometry (JNT) system at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), USA. This system is different from prior ones, including

Acid-Induced Assembly of a Reconstituted Silk Protein System

August 10, 2017
Author(s)
A. Pasha Tabatabai, Kathleen Weigandt, Daniel L. Blair
The chemical reconstitution of silk cocoons into stable aqueous suspensions allows for the creation of new classes of strong, biocompatible, and biodegradable silk materials. The addition of 8 mM hydrochloric acid to a reconstituted silk solution induces

Baseline assessment of 25-hydroxyvitamin D reference material and proficiency testing/external quality assurance material commutability - a vitamin D standardization program study

August 10, 2017
Author(s)
Karen W. Phinney, Christopher T. Sempos, Hubert W. Vesper, Julianne C. Botelho, M Dasti, Yasamin Rahmani, Susan Tai, Johanna Camara, Stephen A. Wise, Gary L. Myers, Ramon Durazo-Arvizu, Lu Tian, John H. Eckfeldt, Andrew N. Hoofnagle, W. Greg Miller, Lorin M. Bachmann, Ian S. Young, J Pettit, G. Caldwell, A Liu, S P. Brooks, K. Sarafin, M. Thamm, C. Scheidt-Nave, G. B. Mensink, M. Busch, M. Rabenberg, Kevin Cashman, Mairead Kiely, Albert Flynn, Kirsten D. Dowling, B. Quinn, K OH, S. W. Lee, C. L. Jung, L. Cox, G. Goldberg, K. Guberg, S. Meadows, A. Prentice, G. Swan, Alison Tedstone, Schleicher Rosemary, Christine M. Pfeiffer, Graham D. Carter, Julia Jones, P. Brannon, R. M. Lucas, Neil C. Binkley, P. M. Crump, Donald Wiebe, Glenville Jones, J. M. Betz, C. D. Faigen, Joyce Merkel, Elizabeth A. Yetley, Paul M. Coates
The Vitamin D Standardization Program (VDSP) coordinated a study to assess the commutability of reference materials and proficiency testing/external quality assurance materials for total 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] in human serum, the primary indicator

A Collaborative Data Management System for Additive Manufacturing

August 9, 2017
Author(s)
Yan Lu, Paul W. Witherell, M A. Donmez
As additive manufacturing (AM) continues to mature as a production technology, the limiting factors that have hindered its adoption in the past still exist, for example, process repeatability and material availability issues. Overcoming many of these

Continuous Laser Scan Strategy for Faster Build Speeds in Laser Powder Bed Fusion System

August 9, 2017
Author(s)
Ho Yeung, Brandon Lane, Jason Fox, Felix Kim, Jarred C. Heigel, Jorge Neira
Research has shown significant influence of laser scan strategy on various part qualities in the laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing process. The National Institute of Standards and Technology developed the Additive Manufacturing Metrology
