Raman Spectroscopic Determination of Electron Concentration in n-Type GaSb

November 19, 2008
Author(s)
James E. Maslar, Wilbur S. Hurst, C Wang
Phonon-plasmon coupled mode Raman spectra of n-type GaSb were measured at room temperature as a function of electron concentration. These spectra were obtained using an optical system based on 752.55 nm excitation. Utilization of this wavelength permits

Natural Gas Flow Calibration Service

August 1, 2008
Author(s)
Aaron N. Johnson
This document describes NIST's high pressure natural gas flow calibration service (NGFCS). Flow calibrations are conducted offsite at the Colorado Experimental Engineering Station Incorporated (CEESI) in Garner, Iowa. A parallel array of nine turbine meter

Certification of Standard Reference Materials for Bitter Orange

July 1, 2008
Author(s)
Lane C. Sander, K. Putzbach, Bryant C. Nelson, Catherine A. Rimmer, Mary Bedner, Jeanice M. Brown Thomas, Barbara J. Porter, Laura J. Wood, Michele M. Schantz, Karen E. Murphy, Katherine E. Sharpless, Stephen A. Wise, James H. Yen, P. H. Siitonen, R. I. Evans, A. NguyenPho, M. C. Roman, J. M. Betz

High resolution spectroscopy using fiber-laser frequency combs

June 8, 2008
Author(s)
Ian R. Coddington, William C. Swann, Nathan R. Newbury
The output of a femtosecond fiber laser can be both spectrally broadened and stabilized, thereby providing a broadband coherent source in the near infrared. In the frequency domain, the result is a frequency comb with frequency stabilities at the

Consideration and Influence of Complexed forms of Mercury Species on the reactivity Patterns Determined by Speciated Isotope Dilution Model Approaches: A Case for Natural Biological Reference Materials

June 1, 2008
Author(s)
David Point, J. I. Garcia Alonso, William C. Davis, Steven J. Christopher, Aurore Guichard, O.F. X. Donard, Paul R. Becker, Gregory C. Turk, Stephen A. Wise
The origins and the processes driving the inadvertent transformations of inorganic mercury (iHg) and methylmercury (MeHg) in cryogenically stored and homogenized fresh-frozen versus freeze-dried biological Standard Reference Materials (SRM) were

Broadband, frequency comb spectroscopy

May 4, 2008
Author(s)
Ian R. Coddington, William C. Swann, Nathan R. Newbury
A stabilized frequency comb provides a broadband array of highly resolved comb lines. Using a multiheterodyne technique, we measure the amplitude and phase of every comb line, allowing for massively parallel, high-resolution spectroscopy.

Shear Thinning Near the Critical Point of Xenon

April 17, 2008
Author(s)
Robert F. Berg, Michael R. Moldover, M Yao, G A. Zimmerli
We measured shear thinning, a viscosity decrease ordinarily associated with complex liquids, near the critical point of xenon. The data span the range of reduced shear rates: 0.001 < γτ < 700, where γτ is the shear rate scaled by the relaxation time τ of

A Thermodynamic Study of Ketoreductase-Catalyzed Reactions, Part 5. Reduction of Substituted Ketones in n-Hexane

April 1, 2008
Author(s)
Yadu D. Tewari, David J. Vanderah, Michele M. Schantz, Robert N. Goldberg, J D. Rozzell, J F. Liebman, Raymond W. Hui, Yitzy Nissenbaum, Ahmad R. Parniani
The equilibrium constants K for the ketoreductase-catalyzed reduction reactions of 1-benzyl-3-pyrrolidinone, ethyl 2-oxo-4-phenylbutyrate, ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate, 1-benzyl-4-piperidone, and 1-benzyl-3-piperidone were measured in n-hexane at T = 298.15

Advancement of Light-Element Neutron Depth Profiling at the University of Texas

April 1, 2008
Author(s)
S M. Whitney, Robert Gregory Downing, S Biegalski, D S. O'Kelly
The University of Texas (UT) at Austin has collaborated with the National Institute of Standards and Technology for comparisons of concentration versus depth profiles of samples containing 10B. Technology sharing from NIST has allowed UT to avoid many

Commutability of NIST SRM 1955 Homocysteine and Folate in Frozen Human Serum With Selected Total Homocysteine Immunometric or Enzymatic Assays

March 1, 2008
Author(s)
B C. Nelson, Christine M. Pfeiffer, Ming Zhang, David L. Duewer, Katherine E. Sharpless, Katrice Lippa
Background: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have recently developed Standard Reference Material (SRM) 1955 Homocysteine and Folate in Frozen Human Serum with certified
