Effects of Materials Chemistry and Morphology on Conductometric Sensor Signals

February 1, 2004
Author(s)
Douglas C. Meier, Stephen Semancik
Observation of conductance changes in material films upon their interactions with gas phase molecules is the basis of operation of the chemical microsensors being developed in the Chemical Sciences and Technology Laboratory at NIST. These interactions are

Progress in the Development of Combustion Databases for Liquid Fuels

January 21, 2004
Author(s)
Wing Tsang
This paper describes the present situation regarding chemical kinetic databases for the simulation of the combustion of liquid fuels. Past work in the area is summarized. Much is known about the, reactions of the smaller fragments from combustion process

Comparative Thickness Measurements of SiO 2 /Si Films for Thickness Less than 10 nm

Terrence J. Jach, Joseph A. Dura, Nhan V. Nguyen, J R. Swider, G Cappello, Curt A. Richter
We report on a comparative measurement of SiO 2/Si dielectric film thickness (t < 10 nm) using grazing incidence x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, neutron reflectometry, and spectroscopic ellipsometry. Samples with nominal thicknesses of 3 nm to 6 nm were

Improving the Sensitivity of Electron Beam Microanalytical Techniques by Enhanced X-Ray Spectrometry: X-Ray Microcalorimetry, Silicon Drift Detector Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry, and Polycapillary X-ray Optics

December 25, 2003
Author(s)
Dale E. Newbury
The microcalorimeter energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer, the silicon drift detector (SDD), and polycapillary x-ray optics are recent developments that have significantly advanced analytical x-ray spectrometry for electron beam instruments. The

Selective DNA Sensing Elements Integrated Into Microfluidic Channels

December 1, 2003
Author(s)
Rebecca A. Zangmeister, Michael J. Tarlov
This paper describes the development of a unique fluorescence based DNA diagnostic assay that does not require pre-labeling of the target oligomer prior to analysis. The assay uses polyacrylamide hydrogel plugs immobilized in microfluidic channels, and is
