The Design and Performance of a Second-Generation Phi Meter

January 5, 2022
Author(s)
Ryan Falkenstein-Smith, Thomas Cleary
This report documents the design and performance of a second-generation phi meter used in multi-scale experimental applications. A constructed second-generation phi meter is implemented in bench and 2/5th scale experiments to demonstrate the instrument's

The Structure of Medium-Scale Pool Fires

January 5, 2022
Author(s)
Ryan Falkenstein-Smith, Kunhyuk Sung, Jian Chen, Kimberly Harris, Anthony Hamins
This report documents a series of time-averaged gas species measurements made along the centerline of methanol, ethanol, acetone, methane, and propane pool fires steadily burning in a quiescent environment. All gas species measurements are obtained using a

AbsorbanceQ: An App for Generating Absorbance Images from Brightfield Images

January 4, 2022
Author(s)
Stephen Zimmerman, Carl Simon Jr., Greta Babakhanova
The AbsorbanceQ app converts brightfield microscope images into absorbance images that can be analyzed and compared across different operators, microscopes and time. Absorbance-based measurements are comparable, which is useful when the aim is to

DIC Challenge 2.0: Developing Images and Guidelines for Evaluating Accuracy and Resolution of 2D Analyses: Focus on the Metrological Efficiency Indicator

January 4, 2022
Author(s)
Philip Reu, EMC Jones, S.S. Fayad, B. Blaysat, E. Toussaint, Mark Iadicola, P. Lava, J Rethore, J. Yang, K. Bhattacharya, L. Yang, D. Deb, C.S.R. Vemulapati, M Klein, E Ando, E Roubin, O. Stamati, C Couture, Alexander Landauer, M. Liu, S Jaminion, T. Siebert, S.N. Olufsen
Background The DIC Challenge 2.0 follows on from the work accomplished in the first Digital Image Correlation (DIC) Challenge Reu et al. (Experimental Mechanics 58(7):1067, 1). The second challenge was required to better quantify the spatial resolution of

Ferromagnetic resonance and magnetization switching characteristics of perpendicular magnetic tunnel junctions with synthetic antiferromagnetic free layers

January 4, 2022
Author(s)
deyuan lyu, Delin Zhang, Daniel Gopman, Yang Lv, Onri Benally, Jian-Ping Wang
Perpendicular magnetic tunnel junctions (pMTJs) with synthetic antiferromagnetic (SAF) free layers were predicted and recently demonstrated to possess ultrahigh switching speed and ultralow switching current density. However, ferromagnetic resonance (FMR)

Evaluating Ventilation Performance

January 3, 2022
Author(s)
Andrew K. Persily
The evaluation of building ventilation performance is critical to understanding indoor contaminant transport dynamics and interpreting indoor contaminant measurements. However, ventilation performance involves many different issues and metrics that can

NIST Conference Papers Fiscal Year 2018, Volume 1: Engineering Laboratory

January 3, 2022
Author(s)
Kathryn Miller
NIST is committed to the idea that results of federally funded research are a valuable national resource and a strategic asset. To the extent feasible and consistent with law, agency mission, resource constraints, and U.S. national, homeland, and economic

A 3-DOF MEMS motion stage for scanning tunneling microscopy

January 1, 2022
Author(s)
Taekyung Kim, Jason J. Gorman
Piezoelectric tube scanners used in most conventional scanning tunneling microscopes (STM) are highly resonant mechanisms that require a low-bandwidth controller ( 1 kHz) to minimize ringing, which prohibitively limits scan speed. In addition, hysteresis

A Methodology for Modeling Interoperability for Smart Sensors in Smart Grids

January 1, 2022
Author(s)
Edward Griffor, Kang B. Lee, Gerald J. FitzPatrick, Eugene Song
Smart sensors in smart grids provide real-time data and status of bidirectional flows of energy for monitoring, protection, and control of grid operations to improve reliability and resilience. Smart sensor interoperability is major challenges for smart

A Methodology for Modeling Interoperability for Smart Sensors in Smart Grids

January 1, 2022
Author(s)
Edward Griffor, Eugene Song, Kang B. Lee, Gerald J. FitzPatrick
Smart sensors in smart grids (SGs) can provide real-time data and status of modernized, bidirectional flows of energy, electrical power grids for monitoring, protection, and control of grid operations to improve reliability and resilience. Smart sensor
