Imaging local luminescence variations in CdSe0.1Te0.9 thin films grown by the colossal grain growth process.

August 4, 2023
Author(s)
Ganga Neupane, Andrew Winchester, Nicolas Marquez Peraca, David Albin, Joel Duenow, Matthew Reese, Sujitra Pookpanratana, Susanna Thon, Behrang Hamadani
Clear visualization and understanding of luminescence properties of grain interiors and grain boundaries in polycrystalline thin-film photovoltaic materials are crucial to achieving high-performance solar cells. Luminescence-based measurements, for example

Quantum-Based Microwave Modulated Waveforms

August 4, 2023
Author(s)
Akim Babenko, Nathan Flowers-Jacobs, Anna Fox, Paul Dresselhaus, Zoya Popovic, Samuel P. Benz
This paper presents a superconducting voltage source that generates microwave modulated waveforms with quantum-based stability. The voltage source - an RF Josephson Arbitrary Waveform Synthesizer (RF-JAWS) - uses a superconducting IC with an array of 4500

Composite Spin Hall Conductivity from Non-Collinear Antiferromagnetic Order

August 3, 2023
Author(s)
Steve Novakov, Peter B. Meisenheimer, Grace A. Pan, Patrick Kezer, Nguyen M. Vu, Alexander Grutter, Ryan F. Need, Julia Mundy, John Heron
Non-collinear antiferromagnets are an exciting new platform for studying intrinsic spin Hall effects, phenomena that arise from the materials' band structure, Berry phase curvature, and linear response to an external electric field. In contrast to

Maximally Edge-Connected Realizations and Kundu's k-factor Theorem

Author(s)
James Shook
A simple graph $G$ with edge-connectivity $\lambda(G)$ and minimum degree $\delta(G)$ is maximally edge connected if $\lambda(G)=\delta(G)$. In 1964, given a non-increasing degree sequence $\pi=(d_1},\ldots,d_n})$, Jack Edmonds showed that there is a

Synthetic Aperture RF Reception using Rydberg Atoms

August 2, 2023
Author(s)
Nik Prajapati, Aly Artusio-Glimpse, Matt Simons, Samuel Berweger, Drew Rotunno, Maitreyi Jayaseelan, Kaleb Campbell, Christopher L. Holloway
Rydberg atoms show great promise for use as self-calibrated electric field sensors for a broad range of frequencies. Their response is traceable to the international system of units making them a valuable tool for a variety of applications including

Titanium and titanium oxides at the K- and L-edges: comparing theoretical calculations to X-ray absorption and X-ray emission measurements

August 2, 2023
Author(s)
Karina Bzheumikhova, John Vinson, Ranier Unterumsberger, Malte Wansleben, Claudia Zech, Kai Schuler, Yves Kayser, Philipp Honicke, Burkhard Beckhoff
Using well-calibrated experimental data we demonstrate the applicability of theoretical X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) as well as X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) calculations for titanium (Ti), titanium oxide (TiO), and titanium dioxide (TiO2) at

A tabletop x-ray tomography instrument for nanometer-scale imaging: demonstration of the 1,000-element transition-edge sensor subarray

Paul Szypryt, Nathan J. Nakamura, Dan Becker, Douglas Bennett, Amber L. Dagel, W.Bertrand (Randy) Doriese, Joseph Fowler, Johnathon Gard, J. Zachariah Harris, Gene C. Hilton, Jozsef Imrek, Edward S. Jimenez, Kurt W. Larson, Zachary H. Levine, John Mates, Daniel McArthur, Luis Miaja Avila, Kelsey Morgan, Galen O'Neil, Nathan Ortiz, Christine G. Pappas, Dan Schmidt, Kyle R. Thompson, Joel Ullom, Leila R. Vale, Michael Vissers, Christopher Walker, Joel Weber, Abigail Wessels, Jason W. Wheeler, Daniel Swetz
We report on the 1,000-element transition-edge sensor (TES) x-ray spectrometer implementation of the TOMographic Circuit Analysis Tool (TOMCAT). TOMCAT combines a high spatial resolution scanning electron microscope (SEM) with a highly efficient and

Accurate measurement of the loss rate of cold atoms due to background gas collisions for the quantum-based cold atom vacuum standard

August 1, 2023
Author(s)
Daniel Barker, James A. Fedchak, Jacek Klos, Julia Scherschligt, Abrar Sheikh, Eite Tiesinga, Stephen Eckel
We present measurements of thermalized collisional rate coefficients for ultra-cold $^7$Li and $^87}$Rb colliding with room-temperature He, Ne, N$_2$, Ar, Kr, and Xe. In our experiments, a combined flowmeter and dynamic expansion system, a vacuum metrology

Critical Software Security Weaknesses

August 1, 2023
Author(s)
Assane Gueye, Carlos Eduardo Cardoso Galhardo, Irena Bojanova
In this work, we append our historical study on the most significant software security weaknesses, re-evaluate our findings, and look closely at the Injection and Memory Corruption/Disclosure weaknesses through the NIST Bugs Framework (BF) lenses. Our goal

Magnetic Field Sensor Based on a OLED/Organic Photodetector Stack

August 1, 2023
Author(s)
Sebastian Engmann, Emily Bittle, David Gundlach
In this study a novel, all organic magnetic field sensor is presented based on an organic light emitting diode (OLED) and organic photodetector (OPD) with a maximum field sensitivity comparable to commercial Hall-sensors. The sensor function is driven by

Shear influence on colloidal cluster growth: a SANS and USANS study

August 1, 2023
Author(s)
Chris Muzny
This study examines the time evolution of silica/water clusters where the formation of a gel network from unitary silica particles is interrupted by a simple Couette shear field. The aim is to enable the general understanding of this simple system by

Crystalline Quantum Circuits

Grace Sommers, David Huse, Michael Gullans
Random quantum circuits continue to inspire a wide range of applications in quantum information science, while remaining analytically tractable through probabilistic methods. Motivated by the need for deterministic circuits with similar applications, we

Disorder-Induced Excitation Continuum in a Spin-1/2 Cobaltate on a Triangular Lattice
