Integrated photonic circuits are created as a small form factor and robust analogue for fiber-based optical systems, from wavelength-division multiplication transceivers to more recent mode-division multiplex-ing components. Silicon nanowire waveguides

Security Guidance for First Responder Mobile and Wearable Devices

July 20, 2022
Author(s)
Gema Howell, Kevin Gerard Brady, Don Harriss, Scott Ledgerwood
Public safety officials utilizing the forthcoming public safety broadband networks will have access to devices, such as mobile devices, tablets and wearables. These devices offer new ways for first responders to complete their missions but may also

Selective C-terminal Conjugation of Trypsin-Digested Peptides for Proteomic Measurements

July 20, 2022
Author(s)
Tian Xie, Alexandria Brady, Cecilia Velarde, David Vaccarello, Nicholas Callahan, John Marino, Sara Orski
Bottom-up proteomic experiments often require selective conjugation or labeling of the N- and/or C-termini of peptides either through bottom up approaches or selective post-cleavage functionalization of specific residues after proteolytic digestion . For

Transport Properties of Few-Layer NbSe2: from Electronic Structure to Thermoelectric Properties

July 20, 2022
Author(s)
Tianhui Zhu, Peter Litwin, Md Golam Rosul, Devin Jessup, Md Sabbir Akhanda, Farjana Tonni, Sergiy Krylyuk, Albert Davydov, Petra Reinke, Stephen McDonnell, Mona Zebarjadi
4-layer NbSe2 is grown on SiO2 by molecular beam epitaxy. The in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements suggest a Nb-rich stoichiometry (Nb1+xSe2) likely due to intercalation of Nb atoms in between the NbSe2 layers. The metallic nature of

Development and Application of an Indoor Carbon Dioxide Metric

July 19, 2022
Author(s)
Andrew K. Persily
Indoor carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations have been considered for decades in evaluating indoor air quality (IAQ) and ventilation, and more recently in discussions of the risk of airborne infectious disease transmission. However, many of these

Electrostatic Repulsion Slows Relaxations of Polyelectrolytes in Semidilute Solutions

July 19, 2022
Author(s)
Ali Slim, Winnie Shi, Farshad S. Samghabadi, Antonio Faraone, Amanda Marciel, Ryan Poling-Skutvik, Jacinta Conrad
We investigate the structure and dynamics of unentangled semidilute solutions of sodium polystyrene sulfonate (NaPSS) using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and neutron spin-echo (NSE) spectroscopy. The effects of electrostatic interactions and chain

Magnetic-field sensitive charge density wave orders in the superconducting phase of UTe2

July 19, 2022
Author(s)
Anuva Aishwarya, Julian May-Mann, Arjun Raghavan, Laimei Nie, Marisa Romanelli, Sheng Ran, Shanta Saha, Johnpierre Paglione, Nicholas Butch, Eduardo Fradkin, Vidya Madhavan
The intense interest in triplet superconductivity partly stems from theoretical predictions of exotic excitations such as non-abelian Majorana modes, chiral supercurrents, and half-quantum vortices. However, fundamentally new, and unexpected states may

Quantum materials for energy-efficient neuromorphic computing: Opportunities and challenges

Petford-Long, Jonathan A. Schuller, Mark Stiles, Yayoi Takamura, Yimei Zhu
Neuromorphic computing approaches become increasingly important as we address future needs for efficiently processing massive amounts of data. The unique attributes of quantum materials can help address these needs by enabling new energy-efficient device

Rapid Phase Transition of Al2O3 Encapsulated MoTe2 via Thermal Annealing

July 19, 2022
Author(s)
Rohan Sengupta, Saroj Dangi, Sergiy Krylyuk, Albert Davydov, Spyridon Pavlidis
MoTe2 has gained a lot of attention recently as a potential phase change material candidate for low-power nonvolatile switches and high-density memory applications, due to the smallest predicted energy offset between its semiconducting 2H and semimetallic

Tensile Tests at 77 K and 4 K on 316L Stainless Steel Welded Plates

July 19, 2022
Author(s)
Dash Weeks, Nicholas Derimow, Jake Benzing
Based on the collaborative framework established between ASME, NASA, and NIST, quasi-static tensile tests were performed in liquid nitrogen (77 K) and liquid helium (4 K) on tensile specimens extracted from the centers of four welded 316L stainless steel
