Infrared measurement of the temperature at the tool-chip interface while machining Ti-6Al-4V

November 29, 2016
Author(s)
Jarred C. Heigel, Eric P. Whitenton, Brandon M. Lane, M A. Donmez, Wilfredo Moscoso-Kingsley, Vis Madhavan
The challenges associated with machining titanium alloys (e.g. Ti-6Al-4V) are directly related to high cutting tool temperatures due to the low thermal conductivity of titanium alloys and the heat generated in the primary shear zone and at the tool-chip

Metastable Layered Cobalt Chalcogenides from Topochemical Deintercalation

November 29, 2016
Author(s)
Xiuquan Zhou, Brandon Wilfong, Hector Vivanco, Johnpierre Paglione, Craig Brown, Efrain E. Rodriguez
We present a general strategy to synthesize metastable layered materials via topochemical de-intercalation of thermodynamically stable to phases.Through kinetic control of the de-intercalation reaction, we have prepared two hypothesized metastable

Multi-Component Fe-Ni Oxide Nanocatalysts for Oxygen Evolution and Methanol Oxidation Reactions under Alkaline Conditions

Stephanie L. Candelaria, Nicholas M. Bedford, Taylor J. Woehl, Nikki S. Rentz, Allison R. Showalter, Svitlana Pylypenko, Bruce A. Bunker, Sungsik Lee, Benjamin Reinhart, Yang Ren, S P. Ertem, E. B. Coughlin, Nicholas A. Sather, James L. Horan, Andrew M. Herring, Lauren F. Greenlee
The electrolysis of water for hydrogen generation and the electrochemical oxidation of alternative fuels such as methanol for alkaline fuel cells often relies on the use of precious metal catalysts. However, the scarcity and high cost of these precious

Intermediate Regime between Metal and Superconductor Below T = 100 K in NiSi

November 28, 2016
Author(s)
Ashutosh Dahal, Jagath Gunasekera, Leland Harriger, S. H. Lee, Y. S. Hor, David J. Singh, Deepak K. Singh
Magnetic response of a metal to an external magnetic field is termed as paramagnetic or diamagnetic, depending on the parallel or antiparallel alignment of electron's moment to the applied field, respectively. 1-3 It remains independent of temperature of

Multispectral MR imaging and sensing using shaped nanoparticles

November 26, 2016
Author(s)
Gary Zabow
The idea that size and shape can determine color is well known in optics-based quantum dot and plasmonic nanoparticle fields. But what about in the radio-frequency (RF) portion of the spectrum? This chapter reviews recent work on specially shaped magnetic

The sixth spectrum of platinum (Pt VI)

November 25, 2016
Author(s)
Vladimir I. Azarov, R R. Gayasov
The spectrum of platinum was observed in the (300 to 2100) A wavelength region. The (5d5 + 5d46s) - 5d46p transition array of five times ionized platinum, Pt VI, has been investigated and 1390 spectral lines have been classified in the region of (399 to

Effect of Charge on the Mechanical Properties of Surfactant Bilayers

November 23, 2016
Author(s)
Robert David Bradbury, Michihiro Nagao
The viscoelastic properties of surfactant bilayers have been measured over a range of surface charge densities, for a system with a low ionic strength, using small-angle neutron scattering and neutron spin echo (NSE) spectroscopy. An increase in the

Irreversible Desiccation Shrinkage of Cement Paste Caused by Cement Grain Dissolution

November 23, 2016
Author(s)
Xiaodan Li, Zachary Grasley, Jeffrey W. Bullard, Edward Garboczi
When cementitious materials are dried, internal stresses are generated that lead to desiccation shrinkage. A portion of this shrinkage is irreversible. Based on previous research indicating that dissolution of cement grains while a cementitious composite

Synthetic gauge potentials for ultracold neutral atoms

November 23, 2016
Author(s)
Ian B. Spielman, Yu-Ju Lin
Synthetic gauge fields for ultracold neutral atoms—engineered using the interaction between laser fields and the atoms' internal 'spin' degrees of freedom—provide promising techniques for generating the large (synthetic) magnetic fields required to reach

Vortex nucleation in a BoseEinstein condensate: from the inside out

November 23, 2016
Author(s)
Ian B. Spielman, Daniel Campbell, Ryan Price, Andika Putra, Dimitrius Trypogeorgos, Ana Vald?Curiel
We observed a new mechanism for vortex nucleation in Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) subject to synthetic magnetic fields. We made use of a strong synthetic magnetic field initially localized between a pair of merging BECs to rapidly create vortices in

CODATA Recommended Values of the Fundamental Physical Constants: 2014

November 22, 2016
Author(s)
Peter J. Mohr, David B. Newell, Barry N. Taylor
This paper gives the 2014 self-consistent set of values of the constants and conversion factors of physics and chemistry recommended by the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA). These values are based on a least-squares adjustment that

Complex Arrangement of Orthogonal Columns via a Supramolecular Orientational Memory Effect

November 22, 2016
Author(s)
Mihai Peterca, Mohammad Imam, Steven Hudson, Benjamin Partridge, D Sahoo, Paul A. Heiney, M L. Klein, Virgil Percec
Memory effects, including shape, chiral and liquid crystalline, enabled macroscopic materials with novel functions. However, the generation of complex supramolecular nanosystems via memory effects was not investigated. Here we report a cyclotriveratrylene

Crowdsourcing to Develop Life-Saving Technologies

November 22, 2016
Author(s)
Tammi M. Marcoullier
The future of emergency services and saving more lives in disasters hinges on the success of technology that will be developed through crowdsourcing. Interoperability among first responder devices, Immersive Reality with VR/AR, and down-to-the-meter

Exploring the Next Generation of Access Control Methodologies

Author(s)
David Ferraiolo, Larry Feldman, Greg Witte
This bulletin summarizes the information presented in NIST SP 800-178: A Comparison of Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) Standards for Data Service Applications. The publication describes Extensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) and Next

Investigating Firebrand Accumulation over Various Scales

November 22, 2016
Author(s)
Samuel Manzello, Sayaka Suzuki
As structures are exposed to wind, stagnation planes are produced around structures. Using full-scale experiments, the authors demonstrated that firebrands may accumulate in these stagnation planes. In a subsequent full-scale study performed by the authors
