Free Space Microwave Non Destructive Characterization of Composite Materials

May 4, 2015
Author(s)
Jan Obrzut, Ahmed M. Hassan, Edward J. Garboczi
We present a free-space microwave experimental measurement system for the non-destructive testing of composite materials. The system operates in the Q- frequency band of 30 GHz to 50 GHz with fixed wave propagation distance between free-space antennas

NGD Cold Neutron Prompt Gamma-ray Activation Analysis Spectrometer at NIST

April 1, 2015
Author(s)
Rick L. Paul, Dagistan NMN Sahin, Jeremy C. Cook, Christoph W. Brocker, Richard M. Lindstrom, Donna J. O'Kelly
A new instrument for cold neutron prompt gamma-ray activation analysis (CNPGAA) has been designed and constructed as part of the recent expansion of the cold neutron guide hall at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR). Located on neutron guide NGD

Interplay of particle shape and suspension properties: a study of cube-like particles

March 20, 2015
Author(s)
Debra J. Audus, Ahmed M. Hassan, Edward J. Garboczi, Jack F. Douglas
With advances in anisotropic particle synthesis, particle shape is now a feasible parameter for tuning suspension properties. However, there is a need to determine how these newly synthesized particles affect suspension properties and a need to solve the

Preparation and Separation of DNA-Wrapped Carbon Nanotubes

March 18, 2015
Author(s)
Geyou Ao, Ming Zheng
Purification of single-chirality single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs)from their synthetic mixture is a prerequisite for many applications. DNA-controlled carbon nanotube (CNT) purification has evolved over a decade along with other separation techniques

Redox sorting of carbon nanotubes

March 17, 2015
Author(s)
Hui Gui, Jason K. Streit, Jeffrey Fagan, Angela R. Hight Walker, Chongwu Zhou, Ming Zheng
This work expands the redox chemistry of single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) by investigating its role in a number of SWCNT sorting processes. Using a polyethylene glycol (PEG)/dextran (DX) aqueous two-phase system, we show that electron-transfer reaction

Beam broadening in transmission EBSD

March 16, 2015
Author(s)
Robert R. Keller, Katherine P. Rice, Mark Stoykovich
Transmission electron backscatter diffraction (t-EBSD), also known as transmission electron forward scatter diffraction (t-EFSD) or transmission Kikuchi diffraction in the SEM (TKD-SEM), can provide significant improvements in spatial resolution over

Local Strain Exerted on Nb 3 Sn Filaments in an ITER Strand

March 13, 2015
Author(s)
Kozo Osamura, Shutaro Machiya, Stefanus Harjo, Tatsushi Nakamoto, Najib Cheggour, Arend Nijhuis
As part of an international project to benchmark facilities for measuring the strain dependence of critical current in ITER Nb 3Sn strands, direct measurement of local strain exerted on Nb 3Sn filaments was attempted at cryogenic temperature by means of

Photodetectors: High-Gain and Low-Driving-Voltage Photodetectors Based on Organolead Triiodide Perovskites (Adv. Mater. 11/2015)

March 12, 2015
Author(s)
Riu Dong, Yanjun Fang, Jungseok Chae, Jun Dai, Zhengguo Xiao, Qingfeng Dong, Yongbo Yuan, Andrea Centrone, Xiaocheng Zeng, Jinsong Huang
Methylammonium lead triiodide (CH3NH3PbI3) perovskite is an emerging low-cost, solution processable material which attracts great interest for enabling the fabrication of high performance optoelectronic devices such as solar cells, room temperature lasers
