Void-based Assembly of Colloidal Crystals

June 1, 2017
Author(s)
Nathan Mahynski, Lorenzo Rovigatti, Christos Likos, Athanassios Panagiotopoulos
We have used computer simulations to reveal how colloidal crystals may be assembled by engineering the shape and charge of polymeric additives, which act as structure-directing agents (SDAs). Using these agents, only a single desired polymorph may be

Channel Modeling and Performance of Zigbee Radios in an Industrial Environment

May 31, 2017
Author(s)
Mehrdad Damsaz, Derek Guo, Jeff Peil, Wayne Stark, Nader Moayeri, Rick Candell
In this paper we describe measurements of wireless propagation characteristics to develop path loss models in industrial environments. The models for path loss we develop are two-slope models in which the path loss is a piecewise linear relation with the

Comprehensive circuit model of auto-limiting superconductor devices and systems

May 31, 2017
Author(s)
Jordi Mateu, C Collado, A Hueltes, D Garcia-Pastor, R Perera, Nikhil M. Joshi, Xifeng Lu, Nate Orloff, Jim Booth
This paper presents a phenomenological equivalent circuit to model the phenomenon occurring when a section of superconducting transmission line transits from the superconductor to the normal state. This phenomenon allows the use of superconductors for the

Gapped Excitations in the High-Pressure Antiferromagnetic Phase of URu 2 Si 2

May 31, 2017
Author(s)
T. J. Williams, H. Barath, Z. Yamani, Jose Rodriguez Rivera, Juscelino Leao, J. D. Garrett, G. M. Luke, W.J. L. Buyers, Collin L. Broholm
We report a neutron scattering study of the magnetic excitation spectrum in each of the three temperature and pressure phases of URu 2Si 2. We find qualitatively similar excitations throughout the (H0L)scattering plane in the hidden order and large moment

Phase Diagram of a-RuCl 3 in an In-Plane Magnetic Field

May 31, 2017
Author(s)
J. A. Sears, Yang Zhao, Zhijun Xu, Jeffrey W. Lynn, Young-June Kim
The low-temperature magnetic phases in the layered honeycomb lattice material α-RuCl 3 have been studied as a function of in-plane magnetic field. In zero field this material orders magnetically below 7 K with so-called zigzag order within the honeycomb

Temperature and Radiation Effects at the Fluorine K-edge in LiF

May 30, 2017
Author(s)
Craig P. Schwartz, Francisco Ponce, Stephan Friedrich, Stephen P. Cramer, John Vinson, David Prendergast
The F K-edge of LiF is studied both experimentally and theoretically as a function of temperature. Instantaneous thermal fluctuations in atomic positions are shown in molecular dynamics simulations to increase in amplitude from 0.029 - 0.064 Å in the

A bottom-up approach for traceable nano dimensional metrology

May 29, 2017
Author(s)
Gaoliang Dai, Jens Fluegge, Harald Bosse, Ronald G. Dixson
This paper presents a bottom-up approach which uses the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the reference value of the crystal silicon lattice constant as a pathway for traceability to the SI metre for applications in dimensional nanometrology

An On/Off Berry Phase Switching with Circular Graphene Resonators

May 26, 2017
Author(s)
Fereshte Ghahari Kermani, Daniel T. Walkup, Christopher Gutierrez, Joaquin R. Nieva, Yue Y. Zhao, Jonathan E. Wyrick, Donat F. Natterer, William G. Cullen, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi, Leonid Levitov, Nikolai B. Zhitenev, Joseph A. Stroscio
Berry phase is an example of anholonomy, where the phase of a quantum state may not return to its original value after its parameters cycle around a closed path; instead the quantum system’s wavefunction may acquire a real measurable phase difference

Interacting nanoscale magnetic cluster arrays in molybdenum oxide bronzes

May 26, 2017
Author(s)
Joseph A. Hagmann, Son T. Le, Lynn F. Schneemeyer, Joseph A. Stroscio, Tiglet Besara, Theo Siegrist, Curt A. Richter, David G. Seiler
In this study, we examine several reduced ternary molybdates in the family of rare earth molybdenum bronzes produced by electrochemical synthesis with composition LnMo16O44. These compounds contain an array of electrically isolated but magnetically

Morphological characterization of fullerene and fullerene-free organic photovoltaics by combined real and reciprocal space techniques

May 26, 2017
Author(s)
Donglin Zhao, Qinghe Wu, Luping Yu, Harald Ade, Dean DeLongchamp, Lee J. Richter, Subhrangsu Mukherjee, Andrew Herzing
Morphology can play a critical role in determining function in organic photovoltaic (OPV) systems. Recently molecular acceptors have showed promise to replace¬ fullerene derivatives as acceptor materials in bulk heterojunction solar cells and have achieved

Overlap junctions for high coherence superconducting qubits

May 26, 2017
Author(s)
Xian Wu, Junling Long, Hsiang S. Ku, Russell Lake, Mustafa Bal, David P. Pappas
Fabrication of sub-micron Josephson junctions is demonstrated using standard processing techniques for high-coherence, superconducting qubits. These junctions are made in two separate lithography steps with normal-angle evaporation. Most significantly

Electrical stabilization of surface resistivity in epitaxial graphene systems by amorphous boron nitride encapsulation

May 25, 2017
Author(s)
Albert F. Rigosi, Chieh-I Liu, Nicholas R. Glavin, Yanfei Yang, Heather M. Hill, Jiuning Hu, Angela R. Hight Walker, Curt A. Richter, Randolph E. Elmquist, David B. Newell
Homogeneous monolayer epitaxial graphene (EG) is an ideal candidate for the development of millimeter-sized devices with single-crystal domains. A clean fabrication process was used to produce EG-based devices with n-type doping level of order 10^12 cm^-2

Imposing Fine-grain Next Generation Access Control over Database Queries

May 25, 2017
Author(s)
David F. Ferraiolo, Serban I. Gavrila, Gopi Katwala, Joshua D. Roberts
In this paper we describe a system that leverages ANSI/INCITS Next Generation Access Control (NGAC) standard called Next-generation Database Access Control (NDAC) for accessing data in tables, rows, and columns in existing RDBMS products. NDAC imposes

Inferring previously uninstalled applications from digital traces

May 25, 2017
Author(s)
Jim Jones, Tahir Kahn, Kathryn B. Laskey, Alexander J. Nelson, Mary T. Laamanen, Douglas R. White
In this paper, we present an approach and experimental results to suggest the past presence of an application after the application has been uninstalled and the system has remained in use. Current techniques rely on the recovery of intact artifacts and

Mark W. Maciejewski, Adam D. Schuyler, Michael R. Gryk, Ion I. Moraru, Pedro R. Romero, Eldon L. Ulrich, Hamid R. Eghbalnia, Miron Livny, Frank Delaglio, Jeffrey C. Hoch
Advances in computation have been enabling for many recent advances in biomolecular applications of NMR. Due to the wide diversity of applications of NMR, the number and variety of software packages for processing and analyzing NMR data is quite large

Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH) in Mode 2: Performance Analysis

May 25, 2017
Author(s)
David W. Griffith, Fernando J. Cintron, Richard A. Rouil
User Equipments (UEs) that send data must advertise the upcoming transmission by broadcasting signaling messages over the Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH). Thus, it is important for the network operator to define the PSCCH resource pool to
