Methylammonium lead iodide grain boundaries exhibit depth-dependent electrical properties

September 23, 2016
Author(s)
Gordon A. MacDonald, Mengjin Yang, Samuel Berweger, Jason Killgore, Pavel Kabos, Joeseph Berry, Kai Zhu, Frank W. DelRio
In this letter, the nanoscale through-film and lateral photoresponse and conductivity of large-grained methylammonium lead iodide thin films are studied. In perovskite solar cells (PSC), these films result in efficiencies > 17%. The top surface of the

Nanoscale imaging of magnetization reversal driven by spin-orbit torque

September 23, 2016
Author(s)
Ian J. Gilbert, Andrew P. Chen, Daniel B. Gopman, Andrew L. Balk, Daniel T. Pierce, Mark D. Stiles, John Unguris
We use scanning electron microscopy with polarization analysis (SEMPA) to image deterministic, spin-orbit torque driven magnetization reversal of in-plane magnetized CoFeB rectangles in zero applied magnetic field. The spin-orbit torque is generated by

A medical device-grade T1 and ECV phantom for global T1 mapping quality assurance - The T 1 Mapping and ECV Standardization in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (T1MES) program

September 22, 2016
Author(s)
Gabriella Captur, Peter Gatehouse, Katy Keenan, Friso Heslinga, Ruediger Bruehl, Marcel Prothmann, Martin J. Graves, Richard J. Eames, Camilla Torlasco, Giulia Benedetti, Jacqueline Donovan, Bernd Ittermann, Redha Boubertakh, Andrew Bathgate, Celine Royet, Wenjie Pang, Reza Nezafat, Michael Salerno, Peter Kellman, James C. Moon
Background: T1 mapping and extracellular volume (ECV) have the potential to guide patient care and serve as surrogate end-points in clinical trials, but measurements differ between cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) scanners and pulse sequences. To

Behavior of Post-installed Anchors Tested by Stepwise Increasing Cyclic Load Protocols

September 22, 2016
Author(s)
Philipp Mahrenholtz, Rolf Eligehausen, Tara C. Hutchinson, Matthew Hoehler
Cyclic loads are a characteristic feature of actions acting on structures and anchorages during earthquakes. For this reason, seismic qualification of post-installed concrete anchors according to the internationally recognized American Concrete Institute

CHALLENGES IN TOLERANCE TRANSFER FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

September 22, 2016
Author(s)
Gaurav Ameta, Shawn P. Moylan, Paul Witherell
Abstract: From the design point of view, datum features are used to imply design intent of particular function of the part or sequence of assembly of components in a product. Each feature in a part could potentially have different datum reference based on

Framework for learning agents in quantum environments

September 22, 2016
Author(s)
Jacob M. Taylor, Hans Briegel, Vedran Dunjko
In this paper we provide a broad framework for describing learning agents in general quantum environments. We analyze the types of environments which allow for quantum enhancements in learning, by contrasting environments to quantum oracles. We show that

Mostly sunny with a chance of cyber

Counting known vulnerabilities and correlating different factors with the vulnerability track records of software products after the fact is obviously feasible. The harder challenge is to produce “evidence to tell how vulnerable a piece of software is”

Volume Determination of Irregularly-shaped Quasi-spherical Nanoparticles

September 22, 2016
Author(s)
Ravikiran Attota
Nanoparticles (NPs) are widely used in diverse application areas, such as medicine, engineering, and cosmetics. The size (or volume) of NPs is one of the most important parameters for their successful application. It is relatively straightforward to

Atomically Engineered Ferroic Layers Yield a Room-Temperature Magnetoelectric Multiferroic

September 21, 2016
Author(s)
Julia A. Mundy, Charles M. Brooks, Megan E. Holtz, Jarrett A. Moyer, Hena Das, Alejandro F. Rebola, John T. Heron, James D. Clarkson, Steven M.T. Disseler, Zhiqi Liu, Alan Farhan, Rainer Held, Robert Hovden, Elliot Padgett, Qingyun Mao, Hanjong Paik, Rajiv Misra, Lena F. Kourkoutis, Elke Arenholz, Andreas Scholl, Julie Borchers, William D. Ratcliff, Ramamoorthy Ramesh, Craig J. Fennie, Peter Schiffer, David A. Muller, Darrell G. Schlom
The defining feature of ferroics is the ability of an external stimulus - electric field, magnetic field, or stress-to move domain walls. These topological defects and their motion enables many useful attributes, e.g., memories that can be reversibly

Electrochemical intercalation of lithium ions into NbSe2 nanosheets

September 21, 2016
Author(s)
Albert Davydov, Anand V. Patel, Louisa Meshi, Emily Hitz, Liangbing Hu
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have been known for decades to have unique properties and recently attracted broad attention for their two-dimensional (2D) characteristics. NbSe2 is a metallic TMDC that has been studied for its charge density wave

Spin-Orbit Coupled Molecular Quantum Magnetism Realized in Inorganic Solid

September 21, 2016
Author(s)
Sang-Youn Park, S.-H. Do, K.-Y. Choi, J.-H. Kang, Dongjin Jang, B. Schmidt, Manuel Brando, B.-H. Kim, D.-H. Kim, Nicholas Butch, Seongsu Lee, Sungdae Ji
The molecular magnetism, representing an isolated spin state, is of particular interest due to characteristics of quantum magnetism with quantum tunneling phenomena underlying qubits or molecular spintronics for the quantum information devices. Such

The Glass Transition of a Single Macromolecule

September 21, 2016
Author(s)
Jack F. Douglas, David Simmons, Weston L. Merling, Jack Mileski
The glass transition of a single macromolecule in isolation is relevant to the dynamics of systems including dilute solutions of synthetic polymers and biological macromolecules such as proteins. Here we employ molecular dynamics simulation to show that a

A Probabilistic Network Forensics Model for Evidence Analysis

September 20, 2016
Author(s)
Changwei Liu, Anoop Singhal, Duminda Wijesekera
Modern-day attackers tend to use sophisticated multi-stage/multi-host attack techniques and anti-forensics tools to cover their attack traces. Due to the current limitations of intrusion detection and forensic analysis tools, reconstructing attack

After oxidation, zinc nanoparticles lose their ability to enhance responses to odorants
