A new approach to prepare well-dispersed CaF2 nanoparticles by spray drying technique

August 5, 2011
Author(s)
Limin Sun, Laurence C. Chow, John E. Bonevich, James W. Mitchell
Previously, a nano-sized calcium fluoride (CaF2) was prepared using a spray drying method by simultaneously feeding Ca(OH)2 and NH4F solutions to a two-liquid nozzle. The aim of the present study was to prepare better-dispersed nano CaF2 particles by co

Charge state dependent energy deposition by ion impacts

August 5, 2011
Author(s)
Russell E. Lake, Joshua M. Pomeroy, Holger Grube, C E. Sosolik
We report on a measurement of craters in thin dielectric films formed by XeQ+ (26 Q 44) projectiles. Tunnel junction devices with ion-irradiated barriers were used to amplify the effect of charge-dependent cratering through the exponential dependence of

Electron-exchange assisted photon energy up-conversion in thin films of ?-conjugated polymeric composites

Author(s)
Panagiotis Keivanidis, Frederic Laquai, Joseph W. Robertson, Baluschev Stanislav, Josemon Jacob, Klaus Mullen, Gerhard Wegner
The mechanism of triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) induced up-converted delayed luminescence is studied in two different binary organic systems consisting of platinum(II) octaethyl porphyrin mixed with either poly(fluorene) (PF26) or ladder-type

Hierarchical Structure and Dynamics of an Ionic Liquid 1-Octyl-3-methylimidazolium Chloride

August 3, 2011
Author(s)
Osamu Yamamuro, Takeshi Yamada, Maiko Kofu, Masamichi Nakakoshi, Michihiro Nagao
We have performed the heat capacity, neutron diffraction, and neutron quasielas- tic scattering measurements of an ionic liquid 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (C8mimCl). The heat capacity data revealed that C8mimCl exhibits a glass tran- sition with

The 3-D Shape of Blasted and Crushed Rocks: From 20 ?m to 38 mm

August 3, 2011
Author(s)
Edward J. Garboczi, Michael Taylor, Xuefeng Liu
Granodiorite material from a rock quarry in California was prepared by first quarrying large boulders, and then crushing down to smaller sizes. A range of particle sizes, from 0.0175 mm to 45.1 mm, was scanned using X-ray computed tomography (X-ray CT) and

Light-Controlled Protein Dynamics Observed with Neutron Spin Echo Measurements

August 2, 2011
Author(s)
Shao-Chun Wang, Panteha Mirarefi, Antonio Faraone, Jr. Lee
A photo-responsive surfactant has been used as a means to control protein structure and dynamics with light illumination. This cationic azobenzene surfactant, azoTAB, which undergoes a reversible photoisomerization upon exposure to the appropriate

Molecular Spin Excitations in the Orbitally Frustrated Spinel GeCo 2O d4^

K. Tomiyasu, Michael K. Crawford, D.T. Adroja, P. Manuel, A. Tominaga, S. Hara, H. Sato, T. Watanabe, S. I. Ikeda, Jeffrey W. Lynn, K. Iwasa, K Yamada
We describe powder and single-crystal inelastic neutron scattering experiments on a spinel-type antiferromagnet GeCo 2O 4 with orbital degrees of freedom, which is a candidate for a geometrically orbitally frustrated system. Several types of short-range

Precision spectroscopy with frequency combs at 3.4 ym

August 2, 2011
Author(s)
Esther Baumann, Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, William C. Swann, Alexander M. Zolot, Ian R. Coddington, Nathan R. Newbury
We discuss precision spectroscopy with a comb-based spectrometer at 3.4 υm. Our goal is to explore comb-based spectroscopy as an alternative method for fast, highly resolved, accurate measurements of gas line shapes. The spectrometer uses dual 1.5 υm

Thermodynamic properties of adamantane revisited

August 2, 2011
Author(s)
Vladimir Diky, Ala B. Bazyleva, Andrey V. Blokhin, Gennady J. Kabo, Mikhail B. Charapennikau, Vladimir N. Emel'yanenko, Sergey P. Verevkin
The heat capacity and parameters of the solid-to-solid phase transition of adamantane were measured in the temperature range (80 to 370) K using adiabatic calorimetry. The thermodynamic functions for the compound in the crystalline and liquid states were

A Simple Series Resistance Extraction Methodology for Advanced CMOS Devices

August 1, 2011
Author(s)
Jason P. Campbell, Kin P. Cheung, John S. Suehle, A Oates
Series resistance has become a serious obstacle inhibiting the performance of advanced CMOS devices. However, series resistance quantification in these same advanced CMOS devices is becoming exceedingly difficult. In this study, we demonstrate a very

A Special Functions Handbook for the Digital Age

August 1, 2011
Author(s)
Ronald F. Boisvert, Charles W. Clark, Daniel W. Lozier, Frank W. Olver
The NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions (DLMF) is a reference work providing information on the properties of the special functions of applied mathematics. It is a successor to the highly successful NBS Handbook of Mathematical Functions

Cell Adhesion to Borate Glasses by Colloidal Probe Microscopy

August 1, 2011
Author(s)
Sheldon M. Wiederhorn, Carl G. Simon Jr., Young-Hun Chae
The adhesion of Osteoblast-like cells to silicate and borate glasses was measured using colloidal probe microscopy in a cell growth medium. The probe consisted of silicate and borate glass spheres, 25 µm to 50 µm in diameter, attached to the tip of an

Development of a Seebeck Coefficient Standard Reference Material (SRM)

Nathan Lowhorn, Winnie Wong-Ng, John Lu, Joshua B. Martin, Martin L. Green, John E. Bonevich, Evan L. Thomas, Neil Dilley, Jeff Sharp
We have successfully developed a Seebeck coefficient Standard Reference Material (SRM™), Bi2Te3, that is essential for interlaboratory data comparison and for instrument calibration. Certification measurements were performed using a differential steady

Effect of Alternating Ar and SF6/C4F8 Gas Flow in Si Nano-Structure Plasma Etching

August 1, 2011
Author(s)
Lei Chen, Vincent K. Luciani, Houxun H. Miao
Si is very reactive to normal plasma etchants such as fluorine based chemicals and the reactions are inherently isotropic. To fabricate small and/or high aspect ratio nanoscale structures in Si, anisotropic profile is necessary. SF6 combined with C4F8 has

Effect of sample conditioning on the water absorption of concrete

August 1, 2011
Author(s)
Javier Castro, Dale P. Bentz, Jason Weiss
ASTM C1585 is commonly used to determine the absorption and rate of absorption of water in unsaturated hydraulic cement concretes. ASTM C1585 preconditions the samples for a total of 18 days. Unfortunately however, the range of relative humidities that can
