Diode-array UV solar spectroradiometer implementing a digital micromirror device

November 20, 2014
Author(s)
Ari D. Feldman, Tim Burnitt, Geiland Porrovecchio, Marek Smid, Luca Egli, Julian Gr?bner, Katherine M. Nield
The solar ultraviolet spectrum captured by commercially available diode-array spectroradiometers is dominated by stray light from longer wavelengths with higher intensity. The implementation of a digital micromirror device in an array spectroradiometer has

IR-enhanced Si reference detectors for 1-step scale transfers from 300 nm to 1000 nm

November 20, 2014
Author(s)
George P. Eppeldauer, Thomas C. Larason, Jeanne M. Houston, Robert E. Vest, Uwe Arp, Howard W. Yoon
IR-enhanced Si photodiodes have improved radiometric and electronic characteristics as compared to other widely used Si photodiodes and can be used as responsivity standards in the wavelength range from 300 nm to 1000 nm. Their low predicted uncertainty

Characterization of AlgMsp, an Alginate Lyase from Microbulbifer sp. 6532A

November 19, 2014
Author(s)
Jeffrey W. Hudgens, Steven M. Swift, Ryan D. Heselpoth, Patrick M. Bales, Daniel C. Nelson
Alginate is a polysaccharide produced by certain seaweeds and bacteria that consists of mannuronic acid and guluronic acid residues. Seaweed alginate is used in food and industrial chemical processes, while the biosynthesis of bacterial alginate is

Particle Moment Canting in CoFe 2 O 4 Nanoparticles

November 19, 2014
Author(s)
K. Hasz, Y. Ijiri, Kathryn L. Krycka, Julie Borchers, R. A. Booth, S. Oberdick, S. A. Majetich
Polarization-analyzed small-angle neutron scattering methods are used to determine the spin morphology in high crystalline anisotropy, 11 nm diameter CoFe 2O 4 nanoparticle assemblies with randomly oriented easy axes. In moderate to high magnetic fields

Preface

November 19, 2014
Author(s)
Daniel G. Friend, Marcia L. Huber, Neil T. Wright
This is a preface for a special issue of the International Journal of Thermophysics that contains papers presented at the 18th Symposium on Thermophysical Properties.

Electrodermal Activity and Eye Movements Inform the Usability of Passwords

November 18, 2014
Author(s)
Jennifer R. Bergstrom, Kristen K. Greene, David C. Hawkins, Christian Gonzalez
While measuring physiological responses is a common practice in the field of neuroscience, it is rare in the usability arena and in password usability studies, in particular. This is unfortunate, as the use of such implicit measures could complement more

Origin of the Charge Gap in LaMnPO

November 18, 2014
Author(s)
D. E. McNally, J. W. Simonson, K. W. Post, Z. P. Yin, M. Pezzoli, G. J. Smith, V. Leyva, C. Marques, L. DeBeer-Schmitt, A. I. Kolesnikov, Yang Zhao, Jeffrey W. Lynn, D. N. Basov, G. Kotliar, M. C. Aronson
We present inelastic neutron scattering and magnetization measurements of the antiferromagnetic insulator LaMnPO that are well described by a Heisenberg spin model. These measurements are consistent with the presence of two-dimensional magnetic

Structure and Magnetic Properties of the a-NaFeO 2 -Type Honeycomb Compound Na 3 Ni 2 BiO 6

November 15, 2014
Author(s)
Elizabeth M. Seibel, J. H. Roudebush, Hui Wu, Qingzhen Huang, Mazhar N. Ali, Huiwen Ji, R. J. Cava
We present the structure and magnetic properties of Na 3Ni 2BiO 6, which is an ordered variant of the α-NaFeO 2 structure type. This layered compound has a 2:1 ordering of (Ni 2+/Bi 5+)O 6 octahedra within the a-b plane and sodium in octahedra between the

A study of the adhesive foot of the gecko

November 14, 2014
Author(s)
Elmar Kroner, Chelsea S. Davis
In recent years, hundreds of scientific studies have been published regarding gecko-inspired adhesives. The primary reason for this increasing interest lies in the unique properties which are combined in the adhesive system of the gecko: this natural

Broadband Noise Limit in the Photodetection of Ultralow Jitter Optical Pulses

November 14, 2014
Author(s)
Franklyn J. Quinlan, W. Sun, Tara M. Fortier, Jean-Daniel Deschenes, Yang Fu, Scott A. Diddams, Joe Campbell
Applications with optical atomic clocks and precision timing often require the transfer of optical frequency references to the electrical domain with extremely high fidelity. Here we examine the impact of photocarrier scattering and distributed absorption

Hardening Structures to Resist Wildland-Urban (WUI) Fire Exposures

November 14, 2014
Author(s)
Samuel L. Manzello
Wildfires that spread into communities, referred to as Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fires, have destroyed communities throughout the world. In the USA, over 46 million homes in 70,000 communities are at risk of WUI fires [1-2]. Historically, fire safety

Hydrocarbon Flame Inhibition by C3H2F3Br (2-BTP)

November 14, 2014
Author(s)
Valeri I. Babushok, Gregory T. Linteris, Donald R. Burgess Jr., Patrick T. Baker
The kinetic mechanism of hydrocarbon flame inhibition by the potential halon replacement 2-BTP has been assembled, and is used to study its effects on premixed methane-air flames. Simulations with varying CH4-air stoichiometry and agent loading have been

Light Induced Gauge Fields for Ultracold Neutral Atoms

November 14, 2014
Author(s)
Ian B. Spielman
Ultracold neutral atoms, with their simple interactions along with well characterized, highly tunable system parameters, are an ideal platform for realizing and then quantitatively studying many-body phenomena. Many-body physics is perhaps most familiar in

Accurate determination of the size distribution for polydisperse, cationic metallic nanomaterials by asymmetric-flow field flow fractionation

November 13, 2014
Author(s)
Julien C. Gigault, Thao M. Nguyen, John M. Pettibone, Vincent A. Hackley
In this work we have developed and validated a methodology for determining the size distribution in polydisperse cationic nanoparticle (NP) samples using asymmetric-flow field flow fractionation (A4F), where known compositional influence of previously used

Author(s)
Jiwu Lu, Canute I. Vaz, Guangfan Jiao, Jason P. Campbell, Jason T. Ryan, Kin P. Cheung, Gennadi Bersuker, Chadwin D. Young
Accurate reliability predictions of real world digital logic circuits rely heavily on the relevancy of device level testing. In the case of bias temperature instability (BTI), where recovery plays a significant role, a leap of faith is taken to translate
