Vacancy Dissociation in BCC Screw Dislocation Cores

July 1, 2017
Author(s)
Lucas M. Hale, Yuri Mishin, Chandler A. Becker
The interaction between screw dislocations and vacancies in body-centered cubic metals is investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. For thirteen different classical interatomic potentials, materials properties relating to vacancies, dislocations

A method to extrapolate the diffuse upwelling radiance attenuation coefficient to the surface as applied to the Marine Optical Buoy (MOBY)

June 30, 2017
Author(s)
Kenneth Voss, Howard Gordon, Stephanie J. Flora, B. Carol Johnson, Mark A. Yarbrough, Michael Feinholz, Terrance Houlihan
The upwelling radiance attenuation coefficient (KLu) in the upper 10 m of the water column can be significantly influenced by inelastic scattering processes, and thus will vary even with homogeneous water properties. The Marine Optical BuoY (MOBY), the

Compensated Ferrimagnetism in the Zero-Moment Heusler Alloy Mn 3 Al

June 30, 2017
Author(s)
Michelle Elizabeth Jamer, Yung Jui Wang, Gregory M. Stephen, Ian J. McDonald, Alexander J Grutter, George E. Sterbinsky, Dario A. Arena, Julie A. Borchers, Brian J Kirby, Laura H. Lewis, Bernardo Barbiellini, Arun Bansil, Don Heiman
While antiferromagnets have been proposed as components to limit stray magnetic fields in spintronics devices, their inability to be spin polarized inhibits their use. Compensated ferrimagnets are a unique solution to this dilemma since they have zero net

Flame Inhibition by Potassium-Containing Compounds

June 30, 2017
Author(s)
Valeri I. Babushok, Gregory T. Linteris, Pol Hoorelbeke
A kinetic model of inhibition by the potassium containing compound potassium bicarbonate is suggested. The model is based on the previous work concerning kinetic studies of suppression of secondary flashes, inhibition by alkali metals and the studies of

Non-Uniform Sampling for All: More Spectral Quality, Less Measurement Time

June 30, 2017
Author(s)
Frank Delaglio, Gregory S. Walker, Kathleen A. Farley, Raman Sharma, Jeffrey C. Hoch, Luke Arbogast, Robert Brinson, John Marino
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is an indispensable tool in pharmaceutical science, with uses in drug discovery, development, and manufacturing. Non-Uniform Sampling (NUS) is an acquisition method for NMR experiments with two or more

Optical Radiation from Integer Quantum Hall States in Dirac Materials

June 30, 2017
Author(s)
Michael Gullans, Jacob M. Taylor, Mohammad Hafezi
Quantum Hall systems exhibit topologically protected edge states, which can have a macroscopic spatial extent. Such edge states provide a unique opportunity to study a quantum emitter whose size far exceeds the wavelength of emitted light. To better

Precision measurement of the radiative beta decay of the free neutron

June 30, 2017
Author(s)
Christopher D. Bass, Maynard S. Dewey, Thomas R. Gentile, Hans Pieter Mumm, Alan Keith Thompson, M J. Bales, R. Alarcon, E J. Beise, H Breuer, Jim Byrne, T E. Chupp, Kevin Coakley, R L. Cooper, B. O'Neill, F E. Wietfeldt
The theory of quantum electrodynamics predicts that a continuous spectrum of photons is emitted in the beta decay of the free neutron in addition to a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino. We report the first precision test of the shape of the photon

Spin-wave propagation in cubic anisotropy materials

June 30, 2017
Author(s)
Koji Sekiguchi, Seo-Won Lee, Hiroaki Sukegawa, Nana Sato, Se-Hyeok Oh, Robert McMichael, Kyung-Jin Lee
The information carrier of modern technologies is the electron charge whose transport inevitably generates Joule heating. Spin-wave, the collective precessional motion of electron spins, does not involve moving charges and thus alleviates Joule heating [1

Frequency response of the external quantum efficiency in multijunction solar cells

June 29, 2017
Author(s)
Nicolas Marquez Peraca, D T. Bilir, Behrang Hamadani
The frequency dependence of the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of high-quality multijunction solar cells was examined by the modulated photocurrent spectroscopy method via an optical setup comprised of a light-pipe-coupled compact LED array. The optical

Qualitative characterization of SRM 1597a Coal Tar for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and methyl-substituted derivatives via normal-phase liquid chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry

June 29, 2017
Author(s)
Walter Wilson, Hugh Hayes, Lane Sander, Andres Campiglia, Stephen Wise
A normal-phase liquid chromatography (NPLC) fractionation procedure was developed for the characterization of a complex mixture of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from a coal tar sample (Standard Reference Material (SRM) 1597a). Using a semi

Quantum Critical Behavior in the Asymptotic Limit of High Disorder in the Medium Entropy Alloy NiCoCr 0.8

June 29, 2017
Author(s)
Brian C. Sales, Ke Jin, Hongbin Bei, John Nichols, Matthew F. Chisholm, F. May, Nicholas Butch, Andrew D. Christianson, Michael A. McGuire
Concentrated solid solutions of transition metal atoms, such as NiCoCr, have extreme chemical disorder within a simple face-centered-cubic crystal structure. These alloys can be grown as large single crystals, and are closely related to the recently

Report of the 101st National Conference on Weights and Measures (2016)

June 29, 2017
Author(s)
Tina G. Butcher, Linda D. Crown, Richard A. Harshman, David Sefcik, Lisa Warfield
The 101st Annual Meeting of the National of the National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM) was held July 24-28, 2016, at the Grand Hyatt Denver Hotel, Denver, Colorado. The theme of the meeting was "NCWM - Strengthening a Progressive Organization."
