Tailoring Exchange Couplings in Magnetic Topological Insulator/Antiferromagnet Heterostructures

January 1, 2017
Author(s)
Qing Lin He, Xufeng Kou, Alexander Grutter, Gen Yin, Lei Pan, Xiaoyu Che, Yuxiang Liu, Tianxiao Nie, Bin Zhang, Steven M.T. Disseler, Brian Kirby, William D. Ratcliff, Qiming Shao, Koichi Murata, Xiaodan Zhu, Guoqiang Yu, Yabin Fan, Mohammad Montazeri, Xiaodong Han, Julie Borchers, Kang L. Wang
Magnetic topological insulators such as Cr-doped (Bi,Sb) 2Te 3 provide a platform for the realization of versatile time-reversal symmetry-breaking physics. By constructing heterostructures with the unique Neel order in an antiferromagnetic CrSb and the

Ultra-stable optical clock with two cold-atom ensembles

January 1, 2017
Author(s)
Marco Schioppo, Roger Brown, Will McGrew, Nathan M. Hinkley, Robert J. Fasano, Kyle Beloy, Gianmaria Milani, Daniele Nicolodi, Jeffrey Sherman, Nate B. Phillips, Christopher W. Oates, Andrew Ludlow
Atomic clocks based on optical transitions are the most stable, and therefore precise, timekeepers available. These clocks operate by alternating intervals of atomic interrogation with ‘dead' time required for quantum state preparation and readout. This

An Ideal Solid Solution Model for C-S-H

December 30, 2016
Author(s)
Jeffrey W. Bullard, George W. Scherer
A model for an ideal solid solution, developed by Nourtier-Mazauric et al. [Oil & Gas Sci. Tech. Rev. IFP, 60 [2] (2005) 401], is applied to calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H). Fitting the model to solubility data for C-S-H yields reasonable values for the

Oxidatively Induced DNA Damage and Its Repair

December 30, 2016
Author(s)
M Miral Dizdar
Endogenous and exogenous reactive species react with DNA in living organisms by numerous mechanisms and cause oxidatively induced DNA damage with multiple lesions. If not repaired, DNA lesions can cause genetic instability, leading to mutagenesis and cell

Automation of Piston Gauge Calibration Services Phase I Results

December 29, 2016
Author(s)
Katie M. Schlatter, Julia Scherschligt, John S. Quintavalle, Robert G. Driver, Christina D. Cross
This report documents efforts to date to automate Piston Gage Calibration Services. This report includes an overview of the project, results for Phase I Implementation efforts, and a look ahead to Phase II. Phase I Measures and Deliverables are based on

Threat Modeling for Cloud Data Center Infrastructures

December 29, 2016
Author(s)
Nawaf Alhebaishi, Lingyu Wang, Sushil Jajodia, Anoop Singhal
Cloud computing has undergone rapid expansion throughout the last decade. Many companies and organizations have made the transition from traditional data centers to the cloud due to its flexibility and lower cost. However, traditional data centers are

Differentiating Left- and Right-Handed Carbon Nanotubes by DNA

December 28, 2016
Author(s)
Ming Zheng, Geyou Ao, Jason K. Streit, Jeffrey A. Fagan
The emergence of macromolecules of defined structures is a crucial step in the evolution of life. The mechanism by which these structures are selected from astronomical numbers of biopolymer sequences has long been a topic of controversy1,2. Experimenting

Performance of Metal and Polymeric O Ring Seals during Beyond-Design-Basis Thermal Conditions

December 28, 2016
Author(s)
Jiann C. Yang, Edward J. Hnetkovsky, Doris L. Rinehart, Marco G. Fernandez, Felix Gonzalez, Joseph Borowsky
This paper summarizes the small scale thermal exposure test results of the performance of metallic and polymeric O- ring seals typically used in radioactive material transportation packages. Five different O-ring materials were evaluated: Inconel/silver

Stoner vs. Heisenberg: Ultrafast exchange reduction and magnon generation during laser-induced demagnetization

December 28, 2016
Author(s)
Thomas J. Silva, Hans T. Nembach, Justin M. Shaw, Emrah Turgut, Dmitriy Zusin, Dominik Legut, Karel Carva, Ronny Knut, Cong Chen, Zhensheng Tao, Stefan Mathias, Martin Aeschlimann, Peter Oppeneer, Henry Kapteyn, Margaret Murnane, Patrik Grychtol
Understanding how the electronic band structure of a ferromagnetic material is modified during laser-induced demagnetization on femtosecond timescales has been a long-standing question in condensed matter physics. Here, we use ultrafast high harmonics to

Arithmetic Progressions on Conics

December 27, 2016
Author(s)
Abdoul Aziz Ciss, Dustin Moody
In this paper, we look at long arithmetic progressions on conics. By an arithmetic progression on a curve, we mean the existence of rational points on the curve whose x-coordinates are in arithmetic progression. We revisit arithmetic progressions on the

Spatially resolved ferroelectric domain-switching-controlled magnetism in Co 40 Fe 40 B 20 /Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 ) 0.7 Ti 0.3 O 3 multiferroic heterostructure

Peisen Li, Yonggang Zhao, Sen Zhang, Aitian Chen, Dalai Li, Jing Ma, Yan Liu, Daniel T. Pierce, John Unguris, Hongguang Piao, Huiyun Zhang, Meihong Zhu, Xiaozhong Zhang, Xiufeng Han, Mengchun Pan, Ce-Wen Nan
Intrinsic spatial inhomogeneity or phase separation in cuprates and manganites etc., related to electronic and/or magnetic properties, has attracted much attention due to its significance in fundamental physics and applications. Here we use scanning Kerr

Adaptive Terahertz Dual Frequency Comb Spectrometer

December 26, 2016
Author(s)
Flavio Caldas da Cruz, Francisco S. Vieira, David F. Plusquellic, Scott A. Diddams
Terahertz dual frequency comb spectroscopy (THz-DFCS) yields high spectral resolution without compromising bandwidth. Nonetheless, the resolution of THz-DFCS is usually limited by the laser repetition rate, which is typically between 80 MHz and 1 GHz. In

An Overhanging Absorber for TES X-ray Focal Planes

December 23, 2016
Author(s)
James P. Hays-Wehle, Peter J. Lowell, Daniel R. Schmidt, Daniel S. Swetz, Joel N. Ullom
In order to improve pixel count and collecting area, future TES x-ray focal planes require pixels with both a higher coverage of the active area and compatibility with in-focal-plane multiplexing. We anticipate these improvements by developing a pixel with
