Yiming Chen, Chi Chen, Chen Zheng, Shyam Dwaraknath, Matthew K. Horton, Jordi Cabana, John J. Rehr, John Vinson, Alan K. Dozier, Kristin A. Persson, Shyue P. Ong
The L-edge X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES) is widely used in the characterization of transition metal compounds. Here, we report the development of a database of computed L-edge XANES using the multiple scattering theory-based FEFF9 code. The

Field-induced dehydration and optimal ionic escape paths for C2N membranes

Author(s)
Miroslav Barabash, William Gibby, Dmitry Luchinsky, Binquan Luan, Alexander Smolyanitsky, Peter McClintock
Most analytic theories describing electrostatically driven ion transport through water-filled nanopores assume that the corresponding permeation barriers are bias-independent. While this assumption may hold for sufficiently wide pores under infinitely

Improvement of the spectroscopic parameters of the air- and self-broadened N2O and CO lines for the HITRAN2020 database applications

June 11, 2021
Author(s)
Robab Hashemi, Iouli Gordon, Erin Adkins, Joseph T. Hodges, Manfred Birk, David Long, Chris Boone, Adam Fleisher, Adriana Predoi-Cross, Laurence Rothman
This paper outlines the major update of the line-shape parameters that were performed for the nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon monoxide (CO) molecules listed in the HITRAN2020 database. We reviewed the collected measurements for the air- and self-broadened

Measuring Deadtime and Double-Counts in a Non-Paralyzable Scintillating Neutron Detector using Arrival Time Statistics

Kevin N. Pritchard, Jean Philippe Chabot, Peter Tsai, R. Roubucci, F. S. Choa, A. Osovizky, Jeffrey B. Ziegler, Louis E. Binkley, Nancy Hadad, M. Jackson, C. Hurlbut, George M. Baltic, Charles Majkrzak, Nicholas C. Maliszewskyj
A 6LiF:ZnS(Ag) based cold neutron detector with wavelength shifting (WLS) fibers and SiPM photodetector was developed at the NIST Center for Neutron Research for the CANDoR instrument (Chromatic Analysis Neutron Diffractometer or Reflectometer). The

Molecular Mass Dependence of Interfacial Tension in Complex Coacervation

June 11, 2021
Author(s)
Debra Audus, Samim Ali, Artem Rumyantsev, Yuanchi Ma, Juan J. de Pablo, Vivek Prabhu
The interfacial tension of coacervates, the liquidlike phase composed of oppositely charged polymers that coexists at equilibrium with a supernatant, forms the basis for multiple technologies. Here we present a comprehensive set of experiments and

Trace element proxies and stable isotopes used to identify water quality threats to elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata) at two national parks in St. Croix, USVI

June 11, 2021
Author(s)
Amanda L. Bayless, Steven J. Christopher, Jennifer Ness, Colleen E. Bryan Sallee, Russell D. Day, Cheryl M. Woodley, C. Anna Toline
Chronic biological impairments of reef organisms have been documented at two national parks in St. Croix, USVI. Although several water quality parameters have been out of compliance with USVI water quality criteria, whether these parameters or other

Entanglement Blocking in DLCZ-based Networks

June 10, 2021
Author(s)
Abdella Battou
Resource and performance dependent blocking mechanisms for entanglement routing in quantum networks are identified and characterized in simulations of a DLCZ architecture under different loss and resource availability conditions.

Grain boundary sliding and non-constancy strain during stress relaxation of pure Mg

June 10, 2021
Author(s)
Dilip K. Banerjee, Anand Varma, Aditya Gokhale, Jayant Jain, Krishnaswamy Hariharan
Stress relaxation during plastic deformation has been reported to improve ductility of metallic materials. In this study, the stress relaxation behavior in pure magnesium is investigated during interrupted uniaxial tensile tests. During intermittent

Mobility Extraction in 2D Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Devices - Avoiding Contact Resistance Implicated Overestimation

Chin-Sheng Pang, Ruiping Zhou, Xiangkai Liu, Peng Wu, Terry Y. Hung, Shiqi Guo, Mona E. Zaghloul, Sergiy Krylyuk, Albert Davydov, Joerg Appenzeller, Zhihong Chen
Schottky barrier (SB) transistors operate distinctly different from conventional metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs), in a unique way that the gate impacts the carrier injection from the metal source/drain contacts into the channel

An Open Combinatorial Diffraction Dataset Including Consensus Human and Machine Learning Labels with Quantified Uncertainty for Training New Machine Learning Models

June 9, 2021

Jason Hattrick-Simpers, Brian DeCost, Aaron Gilad Kusne, Howard Joress, Winnie Wong-Ng, Debra Kaiser, Andriy Zakutayev, Caleb Phillips, Tonio Buonassisi, Shijing Sun, Janak Thapa
Modern machine learning and autonomous experimentation schemes in materials science rely on accurate analysis of the data ingested by these models. Unfortunately, accurate analysis of the underlying data can be difficult, even for domain experts

Speed-of-Sound Measurements and a Fundamental Equation of State for Propylene Glycol

June 9, 2021
Author(s)
Eisenbach Tim, Christian Scholz, Roland Span, Diego Cristancho, Monika Thol, Eric W. Lemmon
A fundamental equation of state was developed for propylene glycol. It is written in terms of the Helmholtz energy with the independent variables temperature and density. Due to its fundamental nature, it can be used to calculate all thermodynamic state
