Accelerated and Natural Carbonation of Concretes with Internal Curing and Shrinkage/Viscosity Modifiers

January 5, 2014
Author(s)
Alejandro Duran-Herrera, Jose M. Mendoza-Rangel, Edgar de los Santos Rodriguez, Francisco Vazquez, P Valdez, Dale P. Bentz
In many parts of the world, corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete induced by carbonation of the concrete continues to be a major durability concern. This paper investigates the accelerated and natural carbonation resistance of a set of 7 concretes

Tunable electrical conductivity in metal-organic framework thin film devices

January 3, 2014
Author(s)
Albert A. Talin, Andrea Centrone, Alexandra C. Ford, Michael E. Foster, Vitalie Stavila, Paul M. Haney, Robert A. Kinney, Veronika Szalai, Farid El Gabaly, Heayoung Yoon, Francois Leonard, Mark Allendorf
We report a strategy for realizing tunable electrical conductivity in MOFs in which the nanopores are infiltrated with redox-active, conjugated guest molecules. This approach is demonstrated using thin-film devices of the MOF Cu3(BTC)2 (also known as HKUST

Development of a conceptual framework for evaluation of nanomaterials release from nanocomposites: environmental and toxicological implications

January 2, 2014
Author(s)
Jame Ging, Raul Tejerina-Anton, Girish Ramakrishnan, Mark Nielsen, Kyle Murphy, Justin Gorham, Tinh Nguyen, Alexander Orlov
Despite the fact that nanomaterials are considered potentially hazardous in a freely dispersed form, they are often considered safe when encapsulated into a polymer matrix. However, systematic research to confirm the abovementioned paradigm is lacking

Probing the intracellular glutathione redox potential using in-cell NMR spectroscopy

January 2, 2014
Author(s)
Steve Y. Rhieu, Aaron A. Urbas, Daniel W. Bearden, John P. Marino, Vytautas Reipa, Katrice A. Lippa
Non-invasive and real-time analysis of cellular redox processes has been greatly hampered by lack of suitable measurement techniques. Here we describe an in-cell nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based method for measuring the intracellular glutathione

A probabilistic approach for the analysis of stair evacuation movement data

January 1, 2014
Author(s)
Enrico Ronchi, Erica D. Kuligowski, Richard D. Peacock, Paul A. Reneke
This paper presents an innovative method to study stair evacuation data based on a probabilistic analysis of occupant travel paths. This type of approach relies on a detailed video analysis of people movement and pattern reconstruction. Conditional

Advanced Biaxial Cruciform Testing at the NIST Center for Automotive Lightweighting

January 1, 2014
Author(s)
Mark A. Iadicola, Adam A. Creuziger, Timothy J. Foecke
Modeling of sheet metal forming operations requires mechanical properties data at very large tensile strains and various biaxial strain paths. Typically these data are developed along strain ratio paths that are linear and monotonic, but actual forming

An Ordered Metallic-Glass Solid-Solution Phase That Grows From the Melt Like a Crystal

January 1, 2014
Author(s)
Lyle E. Levine, Karena Chapman, Leonid A. Bendersky, Gabrielle G. Long, John W. Cahn, Peter Chupas, Judith K. Stalick, Frederic Mompiou
We used high-energy synchrotron-based X-ray scattering to investigate the structure of an isotropic AlFeSi metallic glass that nucleates and grows from the melt during rapid cooling like a crystal. The glass is a noncrystalline homogeneous metastable phase

Atomic Scale Defects Associated with the Negative Bias Temperature Instability

January 1, 2014
Author(s)
Jason P. Campbell, P. M. Lenahan
We utilize magnetic resonance measurements to identify the fundamental atomic-scale defect structures involved in the negative bias temperature instability. In gate stacks composed of pure silicon dioxide, we find a degradation mechanism directly involving

Comparison of atom probe compositional fidelity across thin film interfaces

January 1, 2014
Author(s)
Andrew Herzing, Justin G. Brons, Karen T. Henry, Ian M. Anderson, Gregory B. Thompson
A series of Fe/Ni and Ti/Nb multilayers with bilayer repeat distances of approximately 4 nm have been sputter-deposited onto n-doped Si [001] substrates. The films were focus ion beam milled into the required needle-shaped geometry for atom probe analysis

Constraints on the Possible Long-Range Orbital Ordering in LaCoO 3

January 1, 2014
Author(s)
Daniel P. Phelan, Peter M. Gehring
A neutron powder diffraction measurement was performed to distinguish between the proposed monoclinic (I2/a) structure of LaCoO 3, which is consistent with orbital ordering, and the rhombohedral (R3c) structure, which is inconsistent with orbital ordering

Fast and Reliable Spectral Response Measurements of PV Cells Using Light Emitting Diodes

January 1, 2014
Author(s)
Behrang H. Hamadani, John F. Roller, Brian P. Dougherty, Howard W. Yoon
We present a measurement system for absolute differential spectral responsivity of solar cells based on high-powered LED arrays coupled to an optical light guide capable of large area illumination. Two different measurement techniques were developed and
