Generation of a 6602100 nm laser frequency comb based on an erbium fiber laser

June 15, 2012
Author(s)
Gabriel G. Ycas, Steve Osterman, Scott A. Diddams
We present a laser frequency comb based upon a 250 MHz mode-locked erbium fiber-laser that spans more than 300 terahertz of bandwidth, from 660 nm to 2000 nm. Broad bandwidth is achieved by making use of Er:fiber and Yb:fiber amplifiers and supercontinuum

Reverberation Chamber Measurement Correlation

June 15, 2012
Author(s)
Ryan J. Pirkl, Catherine A. Remley, Christian S. Lotback Patane
This contribution evaluates the utility of several different metrics for studying reverberation chamber measurement correlation. Metrics considered are the autocovariance, the correlation matrix, and two metrics based upon the entropy of the data

Grand Challenges of Measurement Science with Big Data

June 14, 2012
Author(s)
Peter Bajcsy
This presentation discusses Grand Challenges of Measurement Science with Big Data. It illustrates the difference between Measurement Science with Little Data and Big Data in the domain of cell biology and microscopy image observations.

Magnetic Phase Diagram of Magnetoelectric LiMnPO 4

June 14, 2012
Author(s)
Rasmus Toft-Petersen, Niels H. Andersen, Haifeng Li, Jiying Li, Wei Tian, Sergey L. Bud'ko, Thomas B. S. Jensen, Christof Niedermayer, Mark Laver, Oksana Zaharko, Jeffrey W. Lynn, David Vaknin
The nature of the spin-flop (SF) transition in the magnetoelectric quasi-2D Heisenberg system LiMnPO 4 is studied in fields applied along the a axis. A refinement of the magnetic structure using neutron diffraction data in the SF phase reveals that the

VISCOSITY AND DENSITY OF CuO NANOLUBRICANT

June 14, 2012
Author(s)
Mark A. Kedzierski
This paper presents liquid kinematic viscosity and density measurements of a synthetic polyolester based copper (II) oxide (CuO) nanoparticle dispersion (nanolubricant) at atmospheric pressure for a temperature range from approximately 288 K to 318 K. The

Correlation effects on transition probabilities in Mo vi

June 13, 2012
Author(s)
Charlotte F. Fischer
The effect of correlation on transitions in Mo vi from 4p64d 2D and 4p65s 2S to 4p64f, 4p65p, 4p65f, 4p54d2 with J = 1/2 - 7/2 is investigated. Non-relativistic correlation studies show the near degeneracy of 4p54d2(3F) 2Fo and 4p54d2(1G) 2Fo configuration

Limitations of X-ray reflectometry in the presenceof surface contamination

June 13, 2012
Author(s)
Donald A. Windover, David L. Gil
Intentionally deposited thin films exposed to atmosphere often develop unintentionally deposited few monolayer films of surface contamination. This contamination arises from the diverse population of volatile organics and inorganics in the atmosphere. Such

Technology Readiness Levels for Randomized Bin Picking

June 13, 2012
Author(s)
Jeremy A. Marvel, Roger D. Eastman, Geraldine S. Cheok, Kamel S. Saidi, Tsai Hong Hong, Elena R. Messina
A proposal for the utilization of Technology Readiness Levels to the application of unstructured bin picking is discussed. A special session was held during the 2012 Performance Metrics for Intelligent Systems workshop to discuss the challenges and

Coexistence and Competition of the Short-Range Incommensurate Antiferromagnetic Order with Superconductivity in BaFe 2-x Ni x As 2

June 12, 2012
Author(s)
Huiqian Luo, Rui Zhang, Mark Laver, Zahra Yamani, Meng Wang, Xingye Lu, Miaoyin Wang, Yanchao Chen, Shiliang Li, Sung Chang, Jeffrey W. Lynn, Pengcheng Dai
Superconductivity in the iron pnictide develops near antiferromagnetism, and the antiferromagnetic (Af) phase appears to overlap with the superconducting phase in some materials such as BaFe 2-x(Co,NI) xAs 2. Here we use neutron scattering to demonstrate

Physical Model for Random Telegraph Noise Amplitudes and Implications

June 12, 2012
Author(s)
Richard G. Southwick, Kin P. Cheung, Jason P. Campbell, Serghei Drozdov, Jason T. Ryan, John S. Suehle, Anthony Oates
Random Telegraph Noise (RTN) has been shown to surpass random dopant fluctuations as a cause for decananometer device variability, through the measurement of a large number of ultra-scaled devices [1]. The most worrisome aspect of RTN is the tail of the

Guide to Bluetooth Security

June 11, 2012
Author(s)
John Padgette, Lidong Chen, Karen Scarfone
[Superseded by SP 800-121 Rev. 2 (May 2017): http://www.nist.gov/manuscript-publication- search.cfm?pub_id=922974] Bluetooth is an open standard for short-range radio frequency communication. Bluetooth technology is used primarily to establish wireless

High Confidence Level Calibration for AFM Based Fracture Testing of Nanobeams

June 11, 2012
Author(s)
Scott Grutzik, Richard S. Gates, Yvonne B. Gerbig, Robert F. Cook, Melissa Hines, Alan Zehnder
When designing micro- or nanoelectromechanical systems, (MEMS and NEMS), it is important to consider whether structural elements will withstand loads experienced during operation. Fracture behavior at length scales present in MEMS and NEMS is much di erent

Propagation and control of nano-scale, magnetic droplet solitons

June 11, 2012
Author(s)
Thomas J. Silva, Mark Hoefer, Matteo Sommacal
The propagation and controlled manipulation of strongly nonlinear, two-dimensional solitonic states in a thin, anisotropic ferromagnet is theoretically demonstrated. It has been recently proposed that spin polarized currents in a nanocontact device could

Simulation-based Approaches to Studying Effectiveness of Moving-Target Network Defense

June 11, 2012
Author(s)
Rui Zhuang, Su Zhang, Scott DeLoach, Xinming Ou, Anoop Singhal
Moving-target defense has been hypothesized as a potential game changer in cyber defense, including that for computer networks. However there has been little work to study how much proactively changing a network's configuration can increase the difficulty
