From single-particle-like to interaction-mediated plasmonic resonances in graphene nanoantennas

March 4, 2021
Author(s)
Marvin M. Muller, Miriam Kosik, Marta Pelc, Garnett W. Bryant, Andres Ayuela, Carsten Rockstuhl, Karolina Slowik
Plasmonic nanostructures attract tremendous attention as they confine electromagnetic fields well below the diffraction limit while simultaneously sustaining extreme local field enhancements. To fully exploit these properties, the identification and

Comparative study of multiwall carbon nanotube nanocomposites by Raman, SEM, and XPS measurement techniques

Author(s)
Avi Gopstein, Allen R. Goldstein, Dhananjay Anand, Paul A. Boynton
This report captures feedback from two workshops that NIST conducted to determine the challenges and opportunities in the use and design of Smart Grid Testbeds and Collaborations, which were held April 11, 2019, at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville

The Industrial Ontologies Foundry (IOF) perspectives

March 3, 2021
Author(s)
Mohamed H. Karray, Neil Otte, Rahul Rai, Farhad Ameri, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Barry Smith, Dimitris Kiritsis, Chris Will, Rebecca Arista
In recent years there has been a number of promising technical and institutional developments regarding use of ontologies in industry. At the same time, however, most industrial ontology development work remains within the realm of academic research and is

Design, calibration, and application of a cryogenic low-background infrared radiometer for spectral irradiance and radiance measurements from 4 um to 20 um wavelength

March 2, 2021
Author(s)
Simon G. Kaplan, Solomon Woods, Eric L. Shirley, Adriaan C. Carter, Timothy M. Jung, James E. Proctor, Dale R. Sears, Jinan Zeng
We have constructed, calibrated, and tested a cryogenic low-background infrared radiometer for both spectral radiance and irradiance measurements over the 4 um to 20 um wavelength range. The radiometer has been used to compare two primary methods for

Geometrical-Empirical Channel Propagation Model for Human Presence at 60 GHz

March 2, 2021
Author(s)
Camillo Gentile, Anmol Bhardwaj, Derek Caudill, Peter B. Papazian, Jack Chuang, David Michelson
Previous efforts to develop simulation and/or measurement-based channel propagation models for the effect of human blockage on millimeter-wave communication systems have yielded important results, but lack either accuracy, generality, or simplicity. To

Trust and Artificial Intelligence

March 2, 2021
Author(s)
Brian Stanton, Theodore Jensen
The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution is upon us, with the promise of advances such as driverless cars, smart buildings, automated health diagnostics and improved security monitoring. Many current efforts are aimed to measure system trustworthiness

Charge Transfer Enhanced Magnetic Correlations in Type-II Multiferroic Co 3 TeO 6

Author(s)
Chi-Hung Lee, Erdembayalag Batsaikhan, Ma-Hsuan Ma, Wen-Hsien Li, Chin-Wei Wang, Chun-Min Wu, Hung-Duen Yang, Jeffrey W. Lynn, Helmuth Berger
Magnetic structure of the Co ions in monoclinic Co 3TeOd6^ in the antiferroelectric state at 16 K has been determined by neutron powder together with single crystal diffractions. The indices of the magnetic reflections that appear at the incommensurate

Determination of Total Arsenic and Hydrophilic Arsenic species in Seafood

March 1, 2021
Author(s)
Caleb Luvonga, Catherine A. Rimmer, Lee L. Yu, Sang Bok Lee
Marine organisms are vital sources of staple and functional food but are also the major dietary route of human exposure to total arsenic. We report the total arsenic content and the mass fractions of hydrophilic arsenic species from five different marine

Field-Tuned Magnetic Structure and Phase Diagram of the Honeycomb Magnet YbCl 3

March 1, 2021
Author(s)
Yiqing Hao, Hongliang Wo, Yimeng Gu, Xiaowen Zhang, YiQing Gu, ShiYi Zheng, Yang Zhao, Guangyong Xu, Jeffrey W. Lynn, Naoki Murai, Wenbin Wang, Jun Zhao
We report thermodynamic and neutron diffraction measurements on the magnetic ordering properties of the honeycomb lattice magnet YbCl 3. We find YbCl 3 exhibits a Neel type long-range magnetic order at the wavevector (0,0,0) below T N = 600 mK. This

How Residential Water Heating is Changing

March 1, 2021
Author(s)
William M. Healy, Carl Hiller, James Lutz
Water heating system energy use is typically the second largest in U.S. residences behind space conditioning (space heating and cooling). Recent advances are changing the way water heating service is provided. This article describes hot water demand in

Operando Study of Thermal Oxidation of Monolayer MoS2
