Christof Gaiser, Bernd Fellmuth, Roberto Maria Gavioso, Murat Kalemci, Vladimir Kytin, Tohru Nakano, Laurent Pitre, Anatoli Pokhodun, Patrick Rourke, Richard Rusby, Peter P.M. Steur, Weston L. Tew, Robin James Underwood, Rod White, Inseok Yang, Jintao Zhang
In 2011, a working group of the Consultative Committee for Thermometry published best estimates of the differences between thermodynamic temperature (T) and the International Temperature Scale ITS 90 (T90). But for temperatures below 335 K, it was stated

Characterizing light engine uniformity and its influence on LCD-based vat photopolymerization printing

December 27, 2022
Author(s)
Benjamin Caplins, Callie Higgins, Thomas Kolibaba, Uwe Arp, C Cameron Miller, Dianne L. Poster, Clarence Zarobila, Yuqin Zong, Jason Killgore
Vat photopolymerization (VP) is a rapidly growing category of additive manufacturing. As VP methods mature the expectation is that the quality of printed parts will be highly reproducible. At present, detailed characterization of the light engines used in

Symmetry-dependent ultrafast manipulation of nanoscale magnetic domains

December 23, 2022
Author(s)
Nanna Hagstrom, Rahul Jangid, F. N. U. Meera, Diego Turenne, Jeffrey Brock, Erik Lamb, Boyan Stoychev, Justine Schlappa, Natalia Gerasimova, Benjamin Van Kuiken, Rafael Gort, Laurent Mercadier, Loic Le Guyader, Andrey Samartsev, Andreas Scherz, Giuseppe Mercurio, Hermann Durr, Alexander Reid, Monika Arora, Hans Nembach, Justin Shaw, Emmanuelle Jal, Eric Fullerton, Mark Keller, Roopali Kukreja, Stefano Bonetti, Thomas J. Silva, Ezio Iacocca
Symmetry is a powerful concept in physics, but its applicability to far-from-equilibrium states is still being understood. Recent attention has focused on how far-from-equilibrium states lead to spontaneous symmetry breaking. Conversely, ultrafast optical

Probing Accelerated Salt-Induced Relaxation Dynamics of Laponite Suspensions Using X-Ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy Measurements and Molecular Dynamics Simulations

December 22, 2022
Author(s)
Sohaib Mohammed, Meishen Liu, Qingteng Zhang, Suresh Narayanan, Fan Zhang, Greeshma Gadikota
Linking the physics of the relaxation behavior of visco-elastic fluids as they form arrested gel states to the underlying nano-scale structure and energetic interactions is essential for developing predictive controls. In this study, laponite suspensions

Scalable Modeling of Human Blockage at Millimeter-Wave: A Comprehensive Analysis of Knife-Edge Diffraction, the Uniform Theory of Diffraction, and Physical Optics Against 60 GHz Channel Measurements

December 22, 2022
Author(s)
Anmol Bhardwaj, Camillo Gentile, Jelena Senic
Human blockage at millimeter-wave frequencies is most commonly modeled through Knife-Edge Diffraction (KED) from the edges of a vertical strip. Although extensively validated through controlled laboratory experiments, the method does not scale to realistic

The Impact of Carbon Nanotube Length and Diameter on their Global Alignment by Dead-End Filtration

Christopher Rust, Pavel Shapturenka, Manuel Spari, Andreas Bacher, Qihao Jin, Han Li, Markus Guttmann, Ming Zheng, Tehseen Adel, Angela R. Hight Walker, Jeffrey Fagan, Benjamin Flavel
Dead-end filtration on polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated polycarbonate track-etched membranes has proven to be an effective method to prepare macroscopically (3.8 cm²) aligned thin films from solution-based single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). However, to make

Dark solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates: a dataset for many-body physics research

December 21, 2022
Author(s)
Amilson R. Fritsch, Shangjie Guo, Sophia Koh, Ian Spielman, Justyna Zwolak
We establish a dataset of over 1.6 x 10^4 experimental images of Bose–Einstein condensates containing solitonic excitations to enable machine learning (ML) for many-body physics research. About 33 % of this dataset has manually assigned and carefully

Impact of Using Soft Exposure Thresholds in Automatic Contact Tracing

December 21, 2022
Author(s)
Kamran Sayrafian, Brian D. Cloteaux, Vladimir Marbukh
Current automatic exposure notification apps primarily operate based on hard distance/time threshold guidelines (e.g., 2 m/15 min in the United States) to determine exposures due to close contacts. However, the possibility of virus transmission through

Precise Quantum Measurement of Vacuum with Cold Atoms

December 20, 2022
Author(s)
Daniel Barker, Bishnu Acharya, James A. Fedchak, Nikolai Klimov, Eric Norrgard, Julia Scherschligt, Eite Tiesinga, Stephen Eckel
We describe the cold-atom vacuum standards (CAVS) under development at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The CAVS measures pressure in the ultra-high and extreme-high vacuum regimes by measuring the loss rate of sub-millikelvin sensor
