Electron Microscopy and Nanoscopy: Analytical

December 5, 2016
Author(s)
Vladimir P. Oleshko
The analytical electron microscope (AEM) is a transmission and/or scanning transmission electron microscope (S/TEM) which is modified to permit composition analyses using x-ray energy-dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS) and/or electron energy-loss spectroscopy

NIST Ballistics Toolmark Research Database

December 5, 2016
Author(s)
Xiaoyu Alan Zheng, Johannes A. Soons, Robert M. Thompson
The NIST Ballistics Toolmark Research Database (NBTRD) is an open-access research database of bullet and cartridge case toolmark data. The development of the database is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Justice's National Institute of Justice. The

Optimizing the UE Transmission Probability for D2D Direct Discovery

December 5, 2016
Author(s)
David W. Griffith, Fiona Z. Lyons
We develop an analytical model to examine the effect of the transmission probability on type~1 direct discovery in Device-to-Device (D2D) Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks. The model gives us the distribution of the time for a User Equipment (UE) to

Thermographic Measurements of the Commercial Laser Powder Bed Fusion Process at NIST

December 5, 2016
Author(s)
Brandon M. Lane, Shawn P. Moylan, Eric P. Whitenton, Li Ma
Measurement of the high-temperature melt pool region in the laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) process is a primary focus of researchers to further understand the dynamic physics of the heating, melting, adhesion, and cooling which define this commercially

Pathloss Models for Indoor Hotspot Deployment at 83.5 GHz

December 3, 2016
Author(s)
Camillo Gentile, Jelena Senic, Peter B. Papazian, Jae-Kark Choi, Kate Remley
Conventional pathloss models are based on the received power from an omnidirectional antenna. Millimeter-wave receivers, conversely, will feature highly directional antennas that can be steered towards the angle with maximum power, exploiting their high

Architecture for Software-assisted Quantity Calculus

December 2, 2016
Author(s)
David W. Flater
A quantity value, such as 5 kg, consists of a number and a reference (often an International System of Units (SI)unit) that together express the magnitude of a quantity. Many software libraries, packages, and ontologies that implement "quantities and units

First-principles phase diagram calculations for the carbonate quasibinary systems CaCO(sub3)-ZnCO(sub3), CdCO(sub3)-ZnCO(Sub3), CaCO(sub3)-CdCO(sub3) and MgCO(Sub3)-ZnCO(sub3)

December 2, 2016
Author(s)
Z.T.Y. Liu, Benjamin P. Burton, S. V. Khare, P. Sarin
Quasibinary solid solutions of calcite-structure carbonate minerals play an important role in rock formation. We have investigated solid solutions with cations such as Ca, Cd, Mg and Zn by performing first-principles phase diagram calculations for Ca1

Absence of Long-Wavelength Nematic Fluctuations in LiFeAs

December 1, 2016
Author(s)
Adrian Merritt, Jose Rodriguez Rivera, Yu Li, Weiyi Wang, Chenglin Zhang, Pengcheng Dai, Dmitry Reznik
We investigated long-wavelength nematic fluctuations in an Fe-based superconductor LiFeAs near q=(0.05,0,0) by measuring temperature-dependent renormalization of acoustic phonons through inelastic neutron scattering. We found that the phonons have

An Open Web-Based Repository for Capturing Manufacturing Process Information

December 1, 2016
Author(s)
William Z. Bernstein, Mahesh Mani, Katherine C. Morris, Kevin W. Lyons, Bjoern J. Johansson
With recent progress in developing more effective models for representing manufacturing processes, this paper presents an approach towards an open web-based repository for storing manufacturing process information. The repository is envisioned to include

Bayesian Method for the Analysis of Diffraction Patterns using BLAND

December 1, 2016
Author(s)
Joseph E. Lesniewski, Steven M.T. Disseler, Dylan J. Quintanta, Paul A. Kienzle, William D. Ratcliff
Rietveld refinement of x-ray and neutron diffraction patterns is routinely used to solve crystal and magnetic structures of organic and inorganic materials over many length scales. Despite its success over the last several decades, conventional Rietveld

Biomimetic Sniffing with an Artificial Dogs Nose Leads to Improvements in Vapor Sampling and Detection

December 1, 2016
Author(s)
Matthew E. Staymates, William A. MacCrehan, Jessica L. Staymates, John G. Gillen, Brent Craven, Rod Kunz, Ted Mendum, Ta-Hsuan Ong
This work presents fluid flow visualization studies and chemical detection experiments using an 3D printed anatomically-correct biomimetic canine nose from a female Labrador retriever. Schlieren imaging, high-speed videography, along with flow

Characterization of Yttrium-Rich Precipitate Phases in a Titanium Alloy Weld

December 1, 2016
Author(s)
Andrew Herzing, Ratna P. Kolli, Sreeramamurthy Ankem
The yttrium-rich (Y-rich) precipitates that form in the fusion zone (FZ) of a Ti-5111 alloy weld were characterized by atom probe tomography and scanning transmission electron microscopy. Two distinct types of precipitates were identified: (1) a higher

Colored Oxides with Hibonite Structure: A Potential Route to Non-cobalt Blue Pigments

December 1, 2016
Author(s)
Jun Li, Elena A. Medina, Judith K. Stalick, Arthur W. Sleight, M. A. Subramanian
The crystal structure of hibonite with an ideal formula CaAl 12O 19 is hexagonal P6 3/mmc, isostructural with magnetoplumbite. Natural and synthetic hibonites have been widely studied for their formation, compositions, crystal structures, properties and
