SLowFlowS: A novel flow standard for semiconductor process gases

March 1, 2025
Author(s)
Jodie Gail Pope, Keith A. Gillis, Aaron Johnson, Joey Boyd, John Wright
Numerous process gases are used in the production of semiconductor chips. Accurate metering of these gases into process chambers is critical for maximizing device throughput and yield. A national flow standard for semiconductor process gases does not exist

Product ion distributions using H3O+ proton-transfer-reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometry (PTR-ToF-MS): mechanisms, transmission effects, and instrument-to-instrument variability

February 27, 2025

Michael Link, Megan Claflin, Christina Cecelski, Ayomide Akande, Delany Kilgour, Paul Heine, Matthew Coggon, Chelsea Stockwell, Andrew Jensen, Jie Yu, Han Huyhn, Jenna Ditto, Carnsten Warneke, William Dresser, Keighan Gemmell, Spiro Jorga, Rileigh Robertson, Joost de Gouw, Timothy Bertram, Jonathan Abbatt, Nadine Borduas-Dedekind, Dustin Poppendieck
Proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) using hydronium ion (H3O+) ionization is widely used for the measurement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) both indoors and outdoors. H3O+ ionization, as well as the associated chemistry in an ion

Prioritizing Cybersecurity Risk for Enterprise Risk Management

February 26, 2025
Author(s)
Stephen Quinn, Nahla Ivy, Matthew Barrett, Greg Witte, Robert Gardner
This document is the second in a series that supplements NIST Interagency Report (IR) 8286, Integrating Cybersecurity and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). This series provides additional detail regarding the enterprise application of cybersecurity risk

Using Business Impact Analysis to Inform Risk Prioritization and Response

February 26, 2025
Author(s)
Stephen Quinn, Nahla Ivy, Julie Anne Chua, Matthew Barrett, Larry Feldman, Daniel Topper, Greg Witte, Robert Gardner
While business impact analysis (BIA) has historically been used to determine availability requirements for business continuity, the process can be extended to provide a broad understanding of the potential impacts of any type of loss on the enterprise

A Security Perspective on the Web3 Paradigm

February 25, 2025
Author(s)
Dylan Yaga, Peter Mell
Web3 is a proposed vision for the future of the internet that is restructured to be more user-centric with an emphasis on decentralized data. Users would own and manage their personal data, and systems would be decentralized and distributed. Digital tokens

Measurement resolution enhanced coherence for lattice fermions

February 25, 2025
Author(s)
Ian Spielman, Hilary Hurst, Yik Teoh
Weak measurement enables the extraction of targeted information from a quantum system while minimizing decoherence due to measurement backaction. However, in many-body quantum systems backaction can have unexpected effects on wavefunction collapse. We

Accurate keyhole instability prediction in metal additive manufacturing through machine learning-aided numerical simulation

February 20, 2025
Author(s)
Jiahui Zhang, Runbo Jiang, Kangming Li, Pengyu Chen, Xiao Shang, Zhiying Liu, Brian Simonds, Qianglong Wei, Hongze Wang, Jason Hattrick-Simpers, Tao Sun, Anthony Rollet, Yu Zou
A primary obstacle impeding the use of metal additive manufacturing technologies in fatigue-sensitive applications is the presence of porosity, primarily caused by keyhole instability. To tackle this challenge, it is imperative to accurately forecast

Rheology and Microstructural Behavior of Semidilute Suspensions of Semiflexible Rods across Five Decades of Shear Rate

February 18, 2025
Author(s)
Paul Salipante, Ryan Murphy, Steve Kuei, Jeffrey Fagan, Christopher Sims, Kathleen Weigandt, Steven Hudson
Rod-like particles are efficient rheology modifiers and are commonly found in a variety of biological and industrially relevant suspensions, from biofilaments to worm-like surfactant micelles. These suspensions display strong shear-thinning behavior, and

Workshop on Enhancing Security of Devices and Components Across the Supply Chain

February 18, 2025
Author(s)
Sanjay Rekhi, David Kuhn, Kim Schaffer, Murugiah Souppaya, Noah Waller, Nelson Hastings, Michael Ogata, William Barker
NIST hosted an in-person, all-day workshop on February 27, 2024, to discuss existing and emerging cybersecurity threats and mitigation techniques for semiconductors throughout their life cycle. The workshop obtained valuable feedback from industry

Effect of ''glancing'' collisions in the cold atom vacuum standard

February 12, 2025
Author(s)
Stephen Eckel, Daniel Barker, James A. Fedchak, Jacek Klos, Julia Scherschligt, Eite Tiesinga
We theoretically investigate the effect of "glancing" collisions on the ultra-high-vacuum pressure readings of the cold-atom vacuum standard (CAVS), based on either ultracold $^7$Li or $^87}$Rb atoms. Here, glancing collisions are those collisions between

Cryogenic photonic resonator with 10-17/s drift

February 11, 2025
Author(s)
Wei Zhang, William Milner, Jun Ye, Scott Papp
Thermal noise is the predominant instability in the provision of ultrastable laser frequency by reference to a cavity. Reducing the thermal-noise limit of a cavity means either making it larger to spread thermal fluctuations, reducing the sensitivity of

Entanglement Routing in Quantum Networks: A Comprehensive Survey

February 11, 2025
Author(s)
Amar Abane, Michael Cubeddu, Van Sy Mai, Abdella Battou
Entanglement routing in near-term quantum networks consists of choosing the optimal sequence of local entanglements to combine through swapping operations to establish end-to-end entanglement between two distant nodes on a quantum network. Similar to

Nanophotonic oscillators for laser conversion beyond an octave
