Capture and isolation of highly-charged ions in a compact Penning trap: V12

December 4, 2013
Author(s)
Samuel Brewer, Nicholas D. Guise, Joseph Tan
Room-temperature, compact Penning traps have been shown recently to be useful for capture and storage of highly-charged ions extracted from an EBIT ion source at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Highly-charged argon and neon ions

Standardization of 237Np

December 4, 2013
Author(s)
Lizbeth Laureano-Perez, Ryan P. Fitzgerald, Ronald Colle
The standardization of 237Np was investigated. The certified massic activity for 237Np was obtained by 4 liquid scintillation (LS) counting with correction for the 233Pa daughter using the CIEMAT/NIST efficiency tracing method using a 3H standard

Optical Atomic Clocks

December 1, 2013
Author(s)
Christopher W. Oates, N Poli, P. Gill, G.M. Tino
In the last ten years extraordinary results in time and frequency metrology have been demonstrated. Frequency stabilization techniques for continuous wave lasers and femto-second optical frequency combs have enabled a rapid development of frequency

A View on Energy Transfer Between Cold Atoms

November 22, 2013
Author(s)
Elizabeth A. Donley
This is an invited perspective article on a paper that will appear in the same issue. The perspective describes imaging energy transfer between cold Rydberg atoms.

Absolute line intensities for oxirane from 1420 to 1560 cm-1

November 15, 2013
Author(s)
F K. Tchana, M. Ngom, Agnes Perrin, Jean-Marie Flaud, Walter J. Lafferty, S. A. Ndiaye, El. A. Ngum
Absolute individual line intensities of numerous transitions of the fundamental ν2 and ν10 bands of oxirane (ethylene oxide, c-C2H4O) have been measured in the 1420-1560 cm-1 region using seven high- resolution Fourier transform spectra recorded at 0.002

Absolute line intensities for the nu3 band of oxirane (C2H4O)

November 15, 2013
Author(s)
Walter J. Lafferty, Jean-Marie Flaud, Fridolin Kwabia, A. Perrin, M. Ngom
Seven Fourier transform spectra of the ν3 band of oxirane (ethylene oxide) have been recorded with different pressures and used to derive individual line intensities. These line intensities were satisfactorily fit leading to accurate transition moment

Polarization Enhanced Absorption Spectroscopy for Laser Stabilization"

November 15, 2013
Author(s)
Paul D. Kunz, Thomas P. Heavner, Steven R. Jefferts
We demonstrate a variation of pump-probe spectroscopy that is particularly useful for laser frequency stabilization. This polarization enhanced absorption spectroscopy (POLEAS) signal provides a significant improvement in signal-to-noise ratio over

Benchmark of collisional-radiative models for ITER beams at Alcator C-Mod tokamak

November 12, 2013
Author(s)
I. O. Bespamyatnov, W. L. Rowan, K. T. Liao, O. Marchuk, Yuri Ralchenko, R. S.
The beam-based plasma diagnostics on ITER require high accuracy and reliability which accordingly puts challenging requirements on the collisional-radiative (CR) models used for the description of excited states of high energy beam atoms. These states are

Electron Energy Loss Function of Silicene and Germanene Multilayers on Silver

November 4, 2013
Author(s)
Anna L. Rast, Vinod K. Tewary
We calculate electron energy loss spectra (EELS) for composite plasmonic structures based on silicene and germanene. A continued-fraction expression for the effective dielectric function is used to perform multiscale calculations of EELS for both silicene

Cold-atom double-lambda coherent population trapping clock

October 31, 2013
Author(s)
Elizabeth A. Donley, Francois-Xavier R. Esnault, Eric M. Blanshan, Eugene N. Ivanov, Robert E. Scholten, John E. Kitching
Miniature atomic clocks based on coherent population trapping (CPT) states in thermal atoms are emerging as an important component in many field applications, particularly where satellite frequency standards are not accessible. Cold-atom CPT clocks promise

Time Required to Injection-Lock Spin Torque Nanoscale Oscillators

October 29, 2013
Author(s)
William H. Rippard, Matthew R. Pufall, Anthony B. Kos
We have injection-locked a spin-transfer oscillator to a second-harmonic electrical input signal and measured the relative phase and amplitude of the device output as a function of DC current under steady-state conditions. The relative phase of the device

Imaging topological edge states in silicon photonics

October 20, 2013
Author(s)
Mohammad Hafezi, Jingyun Fan, Alan L. Migdall, Jacob M. Taylor
Systems with topological oder exhibit exotic phenomena including fractional statistics. While most systems with topological order have been electronic, advances in our understanding of synthetic gauge fields have enabled realization of topological order in

Automated Control of National Time Standards via the SIM Time Scale

September 27, 2013
Author(s)
Michael A. Lombardi, J. Mauricio Lopez-Romero, Nelida Diaz-Munoz
This paper describes a frequency and time control system developed by the Sistema Interamericano de Metrologia (SIM). Due to limited resources, some SIM national metrology institutes maintain a low-cost rubidium clock as their national time standard
