SRM 482 Revisited After 30 Years

August 1, 2001
Author(s)
Eric S. Windsor, R Carlton, Scott A. Wight, C Lyman
The National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Standard Reference Material (SRM) 482 was issued by The National Bureau of Standards (NBS) in 1969 and has been continuously available to the public for over 30 years [1]. The standard consists of

Structural Effects in the Growth of Giant Magneto Resistance (GMR) Spin Valves

August 1, 2001
Author(s)
M. Menyhard, G. Zsolt, P. J. Chen, Cedric J. Powell, Robert D. McMichael, William F. Egelhoff Jr.
An investigation has been made of the thin-film structure and interface morphology of giant magnetoresistance (GMR) spin valves of the cobalt/copper/cobalt (Co/Cu/Co) type that were grown on polycrystalline NiO substrates at three different temperatures

Isotopic Ratio Measurements by Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry

July 1, 2001
Author(s)
Albert J. Fahey, S R. Messenger
Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) is often considered synonymous with SIMS in the static limit where the ion fluence on the sample surface is so low that damage is negligible. For this same reason its use in measuring isotopic

Mass Flow Research and Standards: NIST Workshop Results

July 1, 2001
Author(s)
Robert F. Berg, David S. Green, G E. Mattingly
A recent workshop at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) identified research and standards that will benefit users and manufacturers of mass flow controllers and related equipment. The workshop identified problems with flow

Microhotplate Platforms for Chemical Sensor Research

June 1, 2001
Author(s)
Stephen Semancik, Richard E. Cavicchi, M C. Wheeler, J E. Tiffany, G Poirier, R M. Walton, John S. Suehle, B. Panchapakesan, D. E. DeVoe
This paper describes the development and use of microdevices and microarrays in chemical sensor research. The surface-micromachined microhotplate structure common within the various platforms included here was originally designed for fabricating

Quality Control of PCR Primers Used in Multiplex STR Amplifcation Reactions

June 1, 2001
Author(s)
John M. Butler, J E. Devaney, M A. Marino, Peter M. Vallone
Reliable amplification of short tandem repeat (STR) DNA markers with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is dependent on high quality PCR primers. The particular primer combinations and concentrations are especially important with multiplex amplification

Spin-on Nanoparticle Tin Oxide for Microhotplate Gas Sensors

June 1, 2001
Author(s)
Richard E. Cavicchi, R M. Walton, M I. Aquino-Class, J D. Allen, B. Panchapakesan
A colloidal suspension of tin oxide nanoparticles is used to prepare a highly sensitive gas sensing film on a microhotplate. Fabrication consists of spin-coating the solution over an array of micromachined hotplates and annealing. A thermolithographic

Radioactive Particle Analysis by Digital Autoradiography

May 1, 2001
Author(s)
Cynthia J. Zeissler, Richard M. Lindstrom, J P. McKinley
We have been exploring ways to evaluate the activity of radioactive particles that have been detected by phosphor plate digital autoradiography based on photostimulated luminescence (PSL). A PSL system with 25υ pixel digitization has been applied to

Special Ultrasonic Flowmeters for In-Situ Diagnosis of Swirl and Cross Flow

May 1, 2001
Author(s)
Tsyh Tyan Yeh, Pedro I. Espina
The presence of non-ideal flow profiles is known to cause significant metering inaccuracies in conventional pipelines. The characteristics of secondary flows are also important for mixer design where flow non-ideality is highly desired. Advances in
