Self-Assembled Monolayers of an Oligo(ethylene oxide) Disulfide and its Corresponding Thiol Assembled From Water: Characterization and Protein Resistance

February 5, 2008
Author(s)
David J. Vanderah, Marlon L. Walker, Mark A. Rocco, Kenneth A. Rubinson
The self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of the ?-methyl oligo(ethylene oxide) disulfide [S(CH2CH2O)6CH3]2, [S(EO)6]2 {OEO disulfide}, on Au from 95 % ethanol and from water are described. Spectroscopic ellipsometry and reflection-absorption infrared

Gain-assisted superluminal optical solitons at very low light intensity

January 30, 2008
Author(s)
Lu Deng, Guoxiang Huang, C Hang
We show the possibility of generating gain-assisted superluminal optical solitons in a room- temperature three-state active Raman gain medium. We demonstrate both analytically and numerically that under appropriate conditions a signal field of very low

Raman Spectroscopic Determination of Hole Concentration in p-Type GaSb

January 2, 2008
Author(s)
James E. Maslar, Wilbur S. Hurst, C Wang
Room temperature p-type GaSb bulk coupled mode spectra were measured as a function hole concentration. These spectra were obtained using an optical system based on 752.55 nm excitation in order to obtain more sensitivity to bulk GaSb coupled mode

Characterization of 3-Color CARS in a 2-Pulse Broadband CARS Spectrum

November 15, 2007
Author(s)
Young Jong Lee, Marcus T. Cicerone, Yuexin Liu
We present a new and simple approach to broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy that yields background-free vibrational spectra. We present evidence for a mechanism where two different frequency components in a continuum pulse

Monitoring Contaminants in Seabirds: The Importance of Specimen Banking

November 13, 2007
Author(s)
Stacy S. Vander-Pol, Paul R. Becker
Historically, contaminants in seabird tissues were monitored by considering physically visible effects; however, subtle, sub-lethal effects are also important. Several long-term monitoring and specimen banking programs are in place for seabirds, and the

Raman Spectroscopy of n-Type and p-Type GaSb with Multiple Excitation Wavelengths

October 1, 2007
Author(s)
James E. Maslar, Wilbur S. Hurst, C Wang
The interpretation of Raman spectra of GaSb can be complicated by the presence of a so-called surface space-charge region (SSCR), resulting in an inhomogeneous near-surface Raman scattering environment. To fully interpret Raman spectra, it is important to

Simultaneous Determination of Inorganic Mercury, Methylmercury, and Total Mercury Concentrations in Cryogenic Fresh-Frozen and Freeze-dried Biological Reference Materials

October 1, 2007
Author(s)
David Point, William C. Davis, J. I. Garcia Alonso, Mathilde Monperrus, Steven J. Christopher, O.F. X. Donard, Paul R. Becker, Stephen A. Wise
A double spike speciated isotope dilution (DS-SID) reaction model was developed to study and correct for the inadvertent transformations affecting methylmercury (MeHg), inorganic mercury (iHg) and total mercury (HgT) measurements in biological tissues

Characterization of a Suite of Ginkgo-Containing Standard Reference Materials

September 1, 2007
Author(s)
Catherine A. Rimmer, S. Howerton, Katherine E. Sharpless, Lane C. Sander, Stephen E. Long, Karen E. Murphy, Barbara J. Porter, K. Putzbach, M. S. Rearick, Stephen A. Wise, Laura J. Wood, Rolf L. Zeisler, Diane K. Hancock, James H. Yen, J. M. Betz, A. NguyenPho, L. Yang, C. Scriver, S. N. Willie, R. Sturgeon, B. Schaneberg, C. Nelson, J. Skamarack, M. Pan, L. Kerri, D. Gray, E. H. Waysek, A. Blatter, E. Reich

Reference Viscosities of H 2 , CH 4 , Ar and Xe at Low Densities

August 1, 2007
Author(s)
E May, Robert F. Berg, Michael R. Moldover
We determined the zero-density viscosity eta of hydrogen, methane and argon in the temperature range 200 K to 400 K, with standard uncertainties of 0.084 % for hydrogen and argon and 0.096 % for methane. These uncertainties are dominated by the uncertainty

Energy-Level Alignment and Work Function Shifts for Thiol-Bound Monolayers of Conjugated Molecules Self-Assembled on Ag, Cu, Au, and Pt

July 1, 2007
Author(s)
Christopher D. Zangmeister, Laura B. Picraux, Roger D. van Zee, Yuxing Yao, J M. Tour
Photoemission spectra have been used to determine the energy-level alignment and work function of monolayers of 4,4'-bis-(phenylethynyl)benzenethiol, 2 naphthalene thiol, and 3-(naphthalen-2-yl)propane-1-thiol self-assembled on Ag, Cu, Au, and Pt. For each

The Polarizability of Helium and Gas Metrology

June 22, 2007
Author(s)
James W. Schmidt, R Gavioso, E May, Michael R. Moldover
Using a quasi-spherical, microwave cavity resonator, we measured the refractive index of helium to deduce its molar polarizability A ε in the limit of zero density. We obtained (A ε,meas - A ε,theory)/A ε = (-1.8plus or minus} 8.4)× 10 -6, where the

Cholesterol/Phospholipid Interactions in Hybrid Bilayer Membranes

May 25, 2007
Author(s)
Dustin Levy, Kimberly Briggman
The interactions between cholesterol and saturated phospholipids in hybrid bilayer membranes (HBMs) were investigated using the interface-sensitive technique of vibrational sum frequency spectroscopy (VSFS). The unique sensitivity of VSFS to order/disorder
