All-Dimensional H2-CO Potential: Validation with Fully Quantum Second Virial Coefficients

February 3, 2017
Author(s)
Giovanni Garberoglio, Piotr Jankowski, Krzysztof Szalewicz, Allan H. Harvey
We use a new high-accuracy all-dimensional potential to compute the cross second virial coefficient B12(T) between molecular hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The path-integral method is used to fully account for quantum effects. Values are calculated from 10

Full Disk Encryption: Bridging Theory and Practice

February 3, 2017
Author(s)
Louiza Khati, Nicky Mouha, Damien Vergnaud
We revisit the problem of Full Disk Encryption (FDE), which refers to the encryption of each sector of a disk volume. In the context of FDE, it is assumed that there is no space to store additional data, such as an IV (Initialization Vector) or a MAC

Incomplete reactions in nanothermite composites

February 3, 2017
Author(s)
Rohit J. Jacob, Diana Ortiz-Montalvo, Kyle R. Overdeep, Timothy P. Weihs, Michael R. Zachariah
Exothermic reactions between oxophilic metals and transition/ post transition metal-oxides have been well documented owing to their fast reaction time scales (10 μs). This article examines the extent of reaction in nano-aluminum based thermite systems

Sympathetic Ground State Cooling and Time-dilation Shifts in an 27Al+ Optical Clock

February 3, 2017
Author(s)
Jwo-Sy Chen, Samuel M. Brewer, David B. Hume, Chin-Wen Chou, David J. Wineland, David R. Leibrandt
We report Raman sideband cooling of 25Mg+ to sympathetically cool the secular modes of motion in a 25Mg+-27Al+ two-ion pair to near the three-dimensional (3D) ground state. The evolution of the Fock state distributions during the cooling process is studied

An electrically driven spin qubit based on valley mixing

February 2, 2017
Author(s)
wister huang, Neil M. Zimmerman, Andrew S. Dzurak, Dimitrie Culcer
The electrical control of single spin qubits based on semiconductor quantum dots is of great interest for scalable quantum computing since electric elds are much easier to produce and spatially focus than magnetic elds. Here we outline the mechanism for a

Biophysical Characterization of Functionalized Titania Nanoparticles and Their Application in Dental Adhesives

February 2, 2017
Author(s)
Jirun Sun, Elijah Petersen, Stephanie S. Watson, Christopher Sims, Alexander Kassman, Stanislav Frukhtbeyn, Drago Skrtic, Meryem T. Ok, Deborah Jacobs, Qiang Ye, Bryant C. Nelson
It is demonstrated that carboxylic acid-functionalized titanium dioxide (TiO2) NPs produce significantly higher levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) after visible light irradiation (400-800 nm, 1600 mW/cm2) in comparison to nonfunctionalized TiO2 NPs

Generating Wind-Driven Firebrand Showers Characteristic of Burning Structures

February 1, 2017
Author(s)
Samuel L. Manzello, Sayaka Suzuki
Firebrands are a significant source leading to structures ignited and lost in large outdoor fires, such as Wildland–Urban Interface (WUI) fires, a large international problem, and urban fires, common in Japan. Sadly, hardly any information is available

Neutron Radiography Measurement of Salt Solution Absorption in Mortar

February 1, 2017
Author(s)
Catherine Lucero, Robert Spragg, Dale P. Bentz, Daniel S. Hussey, David L. Jacobson, Jason Weiss
A portion of the concrete pavements in the US have recently been observed to have premature joint deterioration. While this damage has been attributed to a wide variety of potential factors, it is hypothesized that one component of this damage can be

Toward Integrating Distributed Energy Resources and Storage Devices in the Smart Grid

February 1, 2017
Author(s)
Guobin Xu, Wei Yu, David W. Griffith, Nada T. Golmie, Paul Moulema
The smart grid, as one of typical applications supported by Internet of Things, denoted as a re-engineering and a modernization of the traditional power grid, aims to provide reliable, secure, and efficient energy transmission and distribution to consumers

Ultrafast modulation of x-ray absorption by coherent phonon excitations

February 1, 2017
Author(s)
Eric L. Shirley, Jannick Weisshaupt, Michael Woerner, Marc J. Vrakking, Thomas Elsaesser, Andreas Borgschulte
X-ray absorption in solids promotes an electron from an atomic core level to the conduction band states, and near-edge spectra structure gives insight into local atomic geometry and chemical bonding effects. Based on a novel implementation of femtosecond x
