Raman spectroscopy based measurements of carrier concentration in n-type GaN nanowires grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy

September 30, 2016
Author(s)
Lawrence H. Robins, Elizabeth Horneber, Norman A. Sanford, Kristine A. Bertness, John B. Schlager
The carrier concentration in ensembles of n-type GaN nanowires (NWs) grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy was determined by curve-fitting analysis of Raman spectra, based on modeling of the carrier concentration dependence of the longitudinal

Intelligent Building Agents Laboratory: Hydronic System Design

September 29, 2016
Author(s)
Amanda J. Pertzborn
Achieving national goals of net zero energy buildings requires substantial reduction in the energy consumption of commercial building systems. In 2015, commercial buildings consumed 18 % of the total energy consumed in the U.S. [1]. Although significant

Optimizing Subfield Targets for Nanoscale Quantitative Optical Imaging

September 29, 2016
Author(s)
Mark Alexander Henn, Bryan M. Barnes, Hui Zhou, Martin Y. Sohn, Richard M. Silver
The full 3-D scattered field above finite sets of features has been shown to contain a continuum of spatial frequency information, and with novel optical microscopy techniques and electromagnetic modeling, deep-subwavelength geometrical parameters can be

Reference Architecture for Smart Manufacturing Part 1: Functional Models

September 29, 2016
Author(s)
Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr., Evan K. Wallace
This document is a part of the definition of a reference architecture for the integration of manufacturing software applications in the areas of fabrication and assembly of discrete electro- mechanical parts. This document captures, at a high level of

THE NIST MAGNETIC SUSPENSION MASS COMPARATOR: A LOOK AT AUTOMATION

September 29, 2016
Author(s)
Corey A. Stambaugh, Edward C. Mulhern
The magnetic suspension mass comparator at NIST is a fully automated mass comparator with the unique feature that it is able to directly compare a mass in vacuum to one in air. The technique is realized by coupling a weighing pan located in air to a mass

Thermodynamic Properties and Similarity of Stacked-cup Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes and Graphite

September 29, 2016
Author(s)
Yauheni Paulechka, Gennady J. Kabo, Andrey V. Blokhin, Olga Voitkevich, Tatsiana Liavitskaya, Andrey G. Kabo
Heat capacity of stacked-cup multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNT) was measured in an adiabatic calorimeter over the temperature range (5 to 370) K. Results are compared with literature data on various samples of CNT and other carbon allotropes. The

Toward Achieving Harmonization in a Nano-cytotoxicity Assay Measurement through an Interlaboratory Comparison Study

September 29, 2016
Author(s)
John T. Elliott, Matthias Roesslein, Nam W. Song, Blaza Toman, Agnieszka Kinsner-Ovaskainen, Rawiwan Maniratanachote, Marc L. Salit, Elijah J. Petersen, Fatima Sequeira, Jieun Lee, Francois Rossi, Cordula Hirsch, Harald Krug, Wongsakorn Suchaoin, Peter Wick
Design and development of reliable cell-based nanotoxicology assays is important for ranking of potential hazardous engineered nanomaterials. Challenges to producing a reliable assay protocol include working with nanoparticle dispersions and living cell

Bridging classical and quantum mechanics

September 28, 2016
Author(s)
Darine El Haddad, Frank C. Seifert, Leon S. Chao, Shisong Lee, David B. Newell, Jon R. Pratt, Carl J. Williams, Stephan Schlamminger
Using a watt balance and a frequency comb, a mass-energy equivalence is derived. The watt balance compares mechanical power measured in terms of the meter, the second, and the kilogram to electrical power measured in terms of the volt and the ohm. A direct

Evaluation of chemical purity using quantitative 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance

September 28, 2016
Author(s)
Blaza Toman, Michael A. Nelson, Katrice A. Lippa
Chemical purity assessment using quantitative 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a method based on ratio references of mass and signal intensity of the analyte species to that of chemical standards of known purity. As such, it is an example of a

Milligram mass metrology using an electrostatic force balance

September 28, 2016
Author(s)
Gordon A. Shaw, Julian Stirling, John A. Kramar, Alexander D. Moses, Patrick J. Abbott, Richard L. Steiner, Andrew D. Koffman, Jon R. Pratt, Zeina J. Kubarych
Although mass is typically defined within the International System of Units (SI) at the Kilogram level, the pending redefinition of the SI provides an opportunity to realize mass at any scale using electrical metrology. We propose the use of an

Preparation of entangled states through Hilbert space engineering

September 28, 2016
Author(s)
Yiheng Lin, John P. Gaebler, Florentin Reiter, Ting R. Tan, Ryan S. Bowler, Yong Wan, Adam C. Keith, Emanuel Knill, Kevin Coakley, Dietrich Leibfried, David J. Wineland, Scott Glancy
Entangled states are a crucial resource for quantum-based technologies such as quantum computers and quantum communication systems. Exploring new methods for entanglement generation is important for diversifying and eventually improving current approaches

Robust Upward Dispersion of the Neutron Spin Resonance in the Heavy Fermion Superconductor Ce 1-x Yb x CoIn 5
