Author(s)
C P. Sturrock, J R. Rumble
In May 1999, ASTM E49 and the National Institute of Standards and Technology hosted a workshop in which over 100 international experts on materials data, materials databases and the Internet considered how ASTM can best serve the materials community with

MatML: XML for Information Exchange With Materials Property Data

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
A S. Varde, E F. Begley, S Fahrenholz-Mann
This paper describes the development and use of MatML, the Materials Markup Language. MatML is an emerging XML standard intended primarily for the exchange of materials property information. It provides a medium of communication for users in materials

Measurement of Nonlinear Phase Generated in Air-Silica Microstructure Fiber

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
T M. Fortier, Jun Ye, Steven T. Cundiff, R S. Windler
We present measurementsof the nonlinear phase noise generated in air-silica microstructure fiber, which is used in carrier envelope phase stabilization schemes for ultrafast lasers. The extreme nonlinearity exhibited by these fibers may result in amplitude

Measuring Tip Shape for Instrumented Indentation Using Atomic Force Microscopy

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Mark R. VanLandingham, John S. Villarrubia, R M. Camara
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) was used to determine the three-dimensional shape of probe tips used for instrumented indentation. AFM images were taken for three probe tips with several different image sizes. The geometry obtained directly from the images
