Polydimethylsiloxane tissue-mimicking phantoms for quantitative optical medical imaging standards

March 24, 2017
Author(s)
Jeeseong Hwang, Hyun J. Kim, Paul Lemaillet, Dirk Grosenick, Thomas Gladytz, David McClatchy III, Kimberly A. Briggman, Brian Pogue
We report on a procedure to build and characterize solid tissue-mimicking phantoms of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymers. Controlled inclusion of light scattering titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles enables the creation of phantoms having tunable light

Verification of Resilience Policies that Assist Attribute Based Access Control

March 24, 2017
Author(s)
Chung Tong Hu, Antonios Gouglidis, Jeremy Busby, David Hutchison
Access control offers mechanisms to control and limit the actions or operations that are performed by a user on a set of resources in a system. Many access control models exist that are able to support this basic requirement. One of the properties examined

What More Agile Robots Could Mean for Consumers

March 24, 2017
Author(s)
Craig I. Schlenoff
The ways that developers of robots have talked about their craft have been highly specialized to a given domain-and sometimes have varied even within the domain. This has made it difficult to share advances across the landscape of robot R&D and, in turn

A compact, thermal noise limited reference cavity for ultra-low noise microwave generation

March 23, 2017
Author(s)
Josue Davila-Rodriguez, Frederick N. Baynes, Andrew D. Ludlow, Tara M. Fortier, Holly F. Leopardi, Scott A. Diddams, Franklyn J. Quinlan
A 25 mm long, rigidly-held, ultra-stable optical frequency reference cavity is demonstrated. The cavity spacer has an easy-to-manufacture cylindrical shape which nonetheless exhibits a holding geometry predicted to be first-order insensitive to the

Precision vs Accuracy Dilemma in Point-Based Rigid-Body Registration

March 23, 2017
Author(s)
Marek Franaszek, Geraldine S. Cheok
The purpose of a registration is to find the transformation between two coordinate frames: working frame (from which 3D data are transformed) and destination frame (to which the data are transformed). In point-based, rigid-body registration, the

Superconducting Optoelectronic Circuits for Neuromorphic Computing

March 23, 2017
Author(s)
Jeffrey M. Shainline, Sonia M. Buckley, Richard P. Mirin, Sae Woo Nam
We propose a hybrid semiconductor-superconductor hardware platform for the implementation of neural networks and large-scale neuromorphic computing. The platform combines semiconducting few-photon light-emitting diodes with superconducting-nanowire single

AP Selection Algorithm with Adaptive CCAT for Dense Wireless Networks

March 22, 2017
Author(s)
Ye Na Kim, Munsuk Kim, SuKyoung Lee, David W. Griffith, Nada T. Golmie
Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs)-enabled devices are now everywhere and their rapid spread has created dense deployment environments. For such dense WLANs, the High Efficiency WLAN Study Group was formed, and as an extension of their activity, effort

Reduced Bimolecular Recombination in Blade-Coated, High-Efficiency, Small-Molecule Solar Cells

March 22, 2017
Author(s)
Sebastian Engmann, Hyun W. Ro, Andrew A. Herzing, Dean M. DeLongchamp, Chad R. Snyder, Lee J. Richter, Adam J. Barito, David J. Gundlach
The full benefit of emerging solution deposited photovoltaic devices requires development of processes compatible with high speed manufacturing. Extensive studies of the lab-to-fab challenge have been performed on polymer donor based organic photovoltaics

Steady-state spin synchronization through the collective motion of trapped ions

March 22, 2017
Author(s)
Athreya Shankar, John Cooper, Justin G. Bohnet, Murray Holland, John Bollinger
Ultranarrow-linewidth atoms coupled to a lossy optical cavity mode synchronize, i.e. develop correlations, and exhibit steady-state superradiance when continuously repumped. This system displays rich collective physics and promises metrological

Reference Correlation for the Viscosity of Carbon Dioxide

March 21, 2017
Author(s)
Arno D. Laesecke, Chris D. Muzny
A comprehensive database of experimental and computed data for the viscosity of carbon dioxide (CO2) was compiled and a new reference correlation was developed. Literature results based on an ab initio potential energy surface were the foundation of the

Chiral magnetoresistance in Pt/Co/Pt zigzag wires

March 20, 2017
Author(s)
Kyoung-Whan Kim, Yuxiang Yin, Dong-Soo Han, June-Seo Kim, Lavrijsen Reinoud, Kyung-Jin Lee, Seo--Won Lee, Hyun-Woo Lee, Henk Swagten, Bert Koopmans
The Rashba effect leads to a chiral rotation of conduction spins while the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) fixes the chirality of the profile of local spins. We predict that these two spin systems interact with each other via s-d exchange, and

Frontiers of Characterization and Metrology for Nanoelectronics: 2017

March 20, 2017
Author(s)
Erik M. Secula, David G. Seiler
The 2017 International Conference on Frontiers of Characterization and Metrology for Nanoelectronics (FCMN) has the goal of bringing together scientists and engineers interested in all aspects of the characterization and measurement technology needed for

Structural Polymorphism in "Kesterite" Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 : Raman Spectroscopy and First-principles Calculations Analysis

March 20, 2017
Author(s)
Mirjana NMN Dimitrievska, Federica Boero, Alexander P. Litvinchuk, Simona Delsante, Gabriella Borzone, Alejandro Perez-Rodriguez, Victor Izquierdo-Roca
This work presents a comprehensive analysis of the structural and vibrational properties of the kesterite Cu 2ZnSnS 4 (CZTS, I-4 space group) as well as its polymorphs with the space group P-42c and P-42m, from both experimental and theoretical point of
