Ionizing Radiation Induced Degradation of a Tetrachlorobiphenyl in Transformer Oil

November 1, 1999
Author(s)
M Chaychian, Joseph Silverman, M I. Al-Sheikhly, Dianne L. Poster, Pedatsur Neta
Complete degradation of 2,2',6,6'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB 54) in transformer oil is achieved by ionizing radiation without degradation of the oil. Gamma irradiation of transformer oil containing PCB 54 (0.27 mg/g) with a dose of 200 kGy results in

NIST 101. Computational Chemistry Comparison and Benchmark Database

November 1, 1999
Author(s)
Russell D. Johnson III
The CCCBDB is a collection of experimental and theoretical thermochemical properties for 580 neutral gas-phase species. The goal of the database/website is to provide a benchmark set of molecules and reactions for the evaluation of ab initio computational

Influence of Secondary Tip Shape on Illumination-Mode Near-Field Scanning Optical Microscopy Images

August 1, 1999
Author(s)
Lee J. Richter, C E. Dentinger, Richard R. Cavanagh, Garnett W. Bryant, A Liu, Stephan J. Stranick, C D. Keating, M J. Natan
We report illumination-mode near-field optical microscopy images of individual 80-115 nm diameter Au particles recorded with metal-coated fiber probes. It is found that the images are strongly influenced by the metal-coating thickness. This dependence is

Si Resonant Interband Tunnel Diodes Grown by Low-Temperature Molecular Beam Epitaxy

August 1, 1999
Author(s)
P E. Thompson, K D. Hobart, M E. Twigg, G Jernigan, T E. Dillon, S L. Rommel, P R. Berger, David S. Simons, P Chi, R Lake, A C. Seabaugh
Si resonant interband tunnel diodes that demonstrate negative differential resistance at room temperature are presented. The structures were grown using low temperature (320 C) molecular beam epitaxy followed by a post-growth anneal. After a 650 C, 1 min

SRM 2806 (ISO Medium Test Dust in Hydraulic Oil): A Particle-Contamination Standard Reference Material for the Fluid Power Industry

August 1, 1999
Author(s)
Robert A. Fletcher, Jennifer R. Verkouteren, Eric S. Windsor, David S. Bright, Eric B. Steel, John A. Small, Walter S. Liggett Jr
Standard Reference material (SRM) 2806 is composed of ISO medium test dust (ISO 12103-A3), a mineral dust, suspended in MIL-H-5606 hydraulic oil. SRM 2806 is a traceable particle count standard and is certified for number of particles larger than a

A Unique Institution: The History of NBS, 1950-1969

June 30, 1999
Author(s)
E Passaglia, K A. Beal
A follow-on to Measures for Progress by Rexmond C. Cochrane, this work covers the history of the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) from 1950-1969. While the book focuses on technical work, the management and administration of the Bureau are also discussed

A primary pressure standard at 100 kPa

June 1, 1999
Author(s)
James W. Schmidt, Y Q. Cen, Robert G. Driver, Walter J. Bowers Jr., J C. Houck, S A. Tison, Charles D. Ehrlich
Primary pressure standards in the atmospheric pressure range are often established using mercury manometers. To a lesser extent controlled-clearance dead-weight testers in which one component (normally the piston) has been dimensionally measured have also

Elemental and Molecular Imaging of Human Hair Using Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry

April 1, 1999
Author(s)
John G. Gillen, S V. Roberson, C M. Ng, M Stranick
Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is used to image the spatial distribution of elemental and molecular species on the surface and in cross-sections of doped human hair using a magnetic sector SIMS instrument operated as an ion microprobe. Analysis of
