Author(s)
Alan B. Vinh
There are many types of sensor devices available in today s market with many still in development. These devices send signals representing the detection of entities such as temperature and smoke. With the availability of sensor devices monitoring various

An Exception to Amontons' Law: The Friction of Carbon Surfaces in Air

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
P M. McGuiggan
The friction of carbon has been of much interest in recent years due to its good tribological properties. These properties include high wear resistance, high hardness, low friction coefficients, and low corrosion. 1 In computer hard disks, the magnetic

Angular-Momentum Resolved Partial Density of States of Rutile TiO 2 : Theory and Experiment

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Joseph Woicik, E J. Nelson, L Kronik, M Jain, J R. Chelikowsky, D Heskett, L E. Berman, G S. Herman
Using the method of site-specific valence x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (SSVKPS), we have experimentally determined the Ti and O partial density of occupied valence states of rutile TiO2. Excellent agreement with ab initio local density approximation

Anomalous Lattice Expansion of Coherently Strained SrTiO 3 Thin Films Grown on Si(001) by Kinetically Controlled Sequential Deposition

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Joseph Woicik, H Li, P Zschack, E Karapetrova, P Ryan, C R. Ashman, C S. Hellberg
X-ray diffraction has been used to study the epitaxy and lattice expansion of SrTiO3 thin films grown on Si(001) by kinetically controlled sequential deposition (KCSD). Unlike films grown by traditional molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), these films have an in

Applications of Ceramics for Healthcare: The Future Has Begun

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Grady S. White
Dramatic improvements in our understanding of how biological systems work, diseases initiate, and illnesses progress have given rise to the expectation that many of these ailments can be cured, perhaps even in their precursor states, as new tools are

Assessment of a 3D-Printed Aluminum Corrugated Feed Horn at 118.7503 GHz

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Josh Gordon, David R. Novotny, Ronald C. Wittmann, Michael H. Francis, Jeffrey R. Guerrieri, Periasamy Lavanya, Albin Gasiewski
All-metal 3D printing is investigated as a viable option for millimeter wave applications. 3D printing is finding applications across many areas and may be a useful technology for antenna fabrication. The ability to rapidly fabricate custom antenna

Assessment of Powder Characterization Methods for Advanced Ceramics

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Lin-Sien H. Lum
This report summarizes the results of an international round robin study on advanced ceramic powders. Thirty-four laboratories from Belgium, Germany, Japan, Sweden and the U.S. representing industrial, academic and government research organizations

Assessment of the Structural Fire Performance of Buildings

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Richard W. Bukowski
The fire-induced collapse of the World Trade Center (WTC) buildings 1, 2, and 7 on 11 September 2001 demonstrated the need for engineering methods to predict the structural fire performance of buildings when subjected to arbitrary design fires and to

Benefits and Costs of Research: A Case Study of Fire Dynamics Simulation

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Barbara C. Lippiatt
The Fire Dynamics Simulation (FDS) research program at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has produced software that simulates fire spread and the response of a given sprinkler system. At the request of warehouse property owners, the

BFRL Publications, 2001. Volume 1 and Volume 2

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Star R. Burgess, Kathleen C. Whisner, Glenn P. Forney, Paul A. Reneke
Welcome to BFRL Publications, 2001. These two CD-ROMs contain publications produced by BFRL staff, publications resulting from contracts or grants with BFRL and publications contained in proceedings from BFRL sponsored conferences or workshops. The Volume

Boundary Lubricated Friction Experiments With Coarse Surface Texture

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Jorn Larsen-Basse, L K. Ives, Stephen M. Hsu
Low-speed friction experiments were conducted under boundary lubrication in a pin-on-disk tester. The 304 stainless steel disk had smooth areas alternating with areas of coarse surface texture consisting of indents or macroscopic grooves, 0.3-0.4 mm in
