Flight demonstration of a miniature atomic scalar magnetometer based on a microfabricated rubidium vapor cell

March 3, 2023
Author(s)
Haje Korth, John Kitching, John Bonnell, Brian Bryce, George Clark, Weston Edens, Christopher Gardner, Wiliam Rachelson, Amanda Slagle
We have developed an atomic magnetometer based on the rubidium isotope 87Rb and a microfabricated silicon/glass vapor cell for the purpose of qualifying the instrument for space flight during a ride-along opportunity on a sounding rocket. The instrument

This report provides a detailed look at the implementation status of 95 standards that were posted on the OSAC Registry through June 2022. It also provides a comparison of the 2022 survey data with some of the findings from the 2021 OSAC Registry

Resolving Complex Photoconductivity of Perovskite and Organic Semiconductor Films Using Phase-Sensitive Microwave Interferometry

March 2, 2023
Author(s)
Jasleen Bindra, Pragya Shrestha, Sebastian Engmann, Chad Cruz, Lea Nienhaus, Emily Bittle, Jason Campbell
Complex transient photoconductivity (Δσ) contains rich fingerprints of charge recombination dynamics in photoactive films. However, a direct measure of both real (Δσ′) and imaginary (Δσ″) components has proven difficult using conventional cavity-based time

The hazard of UV-induced oxidation to solar-viewing spacecraft optics

March 2, 2023
Author(s)
Charles S. Tarrio, Robert F. Berg, Thomas B. Lucatorto, Dale E. Newbury, Nicholas Ritchie, Andrew Jones, Frank Eparvier
The two most prevalent outgas contaminants on satellites are organic molecules and water vapor. Adsorbed organic molecules can degrade a solar-viewing instrument when they are cracked by ultraviolet radiation (UV) and become a light-absorbing layer of

Versatile quantum-enabled telecom receiver

March 1, 2023
Author(s)
Brian DeCost, Ramya Gurunathan, Adam Biacchi, Kamal Choudhary
Computer vision techniques have immense potential for materials design applications. In this work, we introduce an integrated and general-purpose AtomVision library that can be used to generate and curate microscopy image (such as scanning tunneling

Backbone NMR assignment of the yeast produced Fab fragment of the NISTmAb reference antibody

March 1, 2023
