10:30 AM - CNST ELECTRON PHYSICS GROUP SEMINAR: DYNAMICAL MEASUREMENTS WITH A NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE FORCE MICROSCOPE
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy (NMRFM) is a technique that combines the fine resolution of scanning probe microscopy with the spin sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to yield highly detailed spin information. NMRFM provides resolution that is several orders of magnitude finer than conventional NMR, thus enabling measurements of samples previously inaccessible by conventional NMR, such as thin films and nanostrucstures. In this talk I will discuss the principle behind NMRFM operation and the construction as well as experiments we have performed with our He-3 NMRFM. Room temperature measurements were taken on ammonium sulfate to yield micron scale 1-D images and a spin echo as well as the demonstration of spin nutation. I will also discuss future applications of this instrument toward relaxation measurements of single crystal magnesium diboride at low temperatures as well as other experiments that increase the sensitivity of this technique.

11:00 AM - STATISTICAL ENGINEERING DIVISION SEMINAR: Confidence Sets for Parameters of a Linear Model and Dirichlet Averages.
A method is suggested for constructing a conservative confidence region for the parameters of a linear model on the basis of a linear estimator. In meta-analytical applications, when the results of independent, but heterogeneous studies are to be combined, this region can be employed with little to no knowledge of error variances. The formulas for the smallest volume and the corresponding critical constant are derived. The required optimization problem is formulated and some properties of its solution are found by using properties of Dirichlet averages. The method is compared to several resampling schemes by Monte Carlo simulation, and particular cases of one or two parameters are examined.

10:30 AM - ITL SEMINAR SERIES: Decision-Making and the Cognitive Architecture of Problem Solving
Abstract- Rational decision-making is often modeled as choosing the alternative that maximizes utility for the decision maker. Over the last few decades, much evidence has been produced to demonstrate that human decision-making is subject to irrationalities, such as intransitivity and framing biases. I seek an explanation for how these irrationalities arise, specifically, how they relate to the intrinsic nature of problem solving as setting up and searching in problem spaces, guided by knowledge. Even in simple decision-making problems where the alternatives are small in number and clearly specified, problem solving is required to evaluate the alternatives. One source of the explanation of the irrationalities is the characteristic strategies that are used to evaluate the alternatives. When decision-making problems are complex, additional opportunities arise for sub-optimal decisions. I also attempt to relate the traditional decision-making model of maximizing a single real-valued utility function to the common situation where decision-making is modeled as multi-criterial. I end with some ideas for how decision support system designers can use the analysis to reduce the opportunities for irrationalities. Bio: B.

2:00 PM - NANOKELVIN SCIENCE SEMINAR: The superfluid Fermi liquid in a unitary regime
When choosing the subject of my presentation in 2008 at the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Lev Landau, I wanted to speak about something that would have surprised him. I believe that a recently-created physical object - a universal superfluid Fermi liquid - meets this requirement in the best way possible. As is well known, Landau did not regard the microscopic theory of fluids as a problem worth being occupied with. I quote a well-known passage from Statistical Physics: "Unlike gases and solids, liquids do not allow a calculation in a general form of the thermodynamic quantities or even of their dependence on temperature. The reason lies in the existence of a strong interaction between the molecules of the liquid while at the same time we do not have the smallness of the vibrations which makes the thermal motion in solids especially simple. The strength of the interaction between molecules makes it necessary to know the precise law of interaction in order to calculate the thermodynamic quantities, and this law is different for different liquids." This statement is perfectly correct for all liquids existing in nature. However, progress in experimental techniques has recently enabled the preparation of liquids with properties independent of any quantities that characterize the interaction. This situation emerges because the interatomic interaction in these bodies is, in a sense, infinitely strong. The case in point is ultracold gases near the so-called Feshbach resonances.

10:30 AM - NIST COLLOQUIUM SERIES: Next Generation Neural Implants
Neurons, once severely damaged, do not repair or regenerate themselves, leaving permanent debilitating deficits for tens of millions of people worldwide. As there's no other solution within sight, implant technology is used to intact tissues and/or replace defective functions, e.g., pacemakers and electronic cochlear implants. However, current implants are far from ideal. They are still bulky, rigid, power hungry, and functionally limited. Some, like retinal implants, require more advanced features, like a large number of electrodes and extreme volume. This talk will review progress on next generation implants, which must be miniature, flexible, and highly functional for better muscular, retinal, cortical and spinal use.

3:30 PM - GRAPHENE GROUP SEMINAR: Raman Nanometrology of Graphene
Graphene has attracted tremendous attention from the science and engineering communities since its isolation and measurements revealing unique properties. Raman spectroscopy has emerged as an effective and reliable tool for graphene characterization. However, most Raman spectroscopy studies of graphene have been limited to graphene on Si/SiO2 substrates with carefully selected oxide layer thicknesses. In order to work with other material systems and applications, it is important investigate how the Raman signatures of graphene are affected by the substrate. Raman spectra from graphene layers on GaAs, sapphire, and glass substrates were compared with those from the usual graphene on Si/SiO2 substrate. The number of layers in the examined samples was determined and independently confirmed by atomic force microscopy, analysis of the Raman 2D-band and quantum Hall measurements. The relatively weak dependence of the G band can be explained by the dispersion features of the main phonon branches in graphene. One of the major issues associated with graphene research is the difficulty of graphene identification. In order to expand the use of Raman spectroscopy as a nanometrology tool for graphene devices, one has to investigate the change in the Raman signatures with temperature to decouple temperature effects. A red shift of the G peak of graphene with increasing temperature despite an anomalous temperature expansion of the graphene crystal lattice was observed. The obtained results are important for graphene characterization and proposed applications.

3/9/09 10:30 AM - CNST NANOFABRICATION RESEARCH GROUP SEMINAR: Nanoscale characterization: moving from high-resolution 2D over 3D tomography to 4D time-resolved electron microscopy
In recent years there have been many developments in electron microscopy that have pushed the spatial resolution and sensitivity to the single atom level for imaging, diffraction and spectroscopy. These capabilities have significantly extended our understanding of materials properties, particularly in the realm of nanoscale materials. 2-dimensional high resolution TEM for example, has produced astonishing images of atomic arrangements in advanced materials, while the experimental tools for 3-dimensional tomographic reconstructions are most advanced in the life sciences. The burgeoning field of nanotechnology ensures that electron microscopy will be a scientific method at the forefront of materials science for the foreseeable future. However, throughout these rapid advancements in technology, and all the insights that have resulted from them, one area that has remained largely untapped has been the ability to measure the atomic scale properties of materials and biological specimen on very short timescales (10-9-10-15s). The experimental range that could conceivably be reached by a transmission electron microscope (TEM) operating using very short pulse durations and a high repetition rate, could be used for such important materials research areas as reaction dynamics related to catalysis and surface adsorption, atomic re-arrangements relevant to phase transformations and structural changes occurring upon heating, and domain switching in ferroelectrics. The experimental opportunities for the life sciences are different and will require special instrumental developments. The challenges encountered while advancing from 2-dimensional towards 4-dimensional electron microscopy are described here by showing a variety of specific examples from the materials and the life sciences. Furthermore, the present limitations and capabilities of the current state-of-the-art 4D-TEM (or Dynamic TEM: DTEM) and the outlook for future experimental capabilities will be discussed.

3/10/09 10:30 AM - CNST NANOFABRICATION RESEARCH GROUP SEMINAR: Membrane Stacking Technology for the Fabrication of 3D Photonic Crystals
Three-dimensional photonic crystals (3DPCs) are nanostructured metamaterials that have the potential to revolutionize integrated photonics with their inherent ability to confine optical modes to volumes on the order of a wavelength. In a 3DPC, an omnidirectional bandgap is created by a periodic modulation of high contrast dielectric materials[1]. This means that specific optical modes cannot propagate through the medium. Devices that allow modes to exist, such as waveguides and resonators, can be embedded within the crystal by disrupting the perfect periodicity of the structure. The difficulty in fabricating these structures emanates from: its multilevel nature (up to 20 layers with sub 50nm overlay), sub 100nm features, and the large area required (10 mm x 10mm). Previously, we reported the fabrication of a 3DPC using traditional planar fabrication processes following cycles of deposition, pattern, etch and planarization [2]. However, this method suffered from low yields, small areas and long lead times. In order to surmount past shortcomings, we are exploring a novel method of multilayer nanofabrication by which membranes etched with 2D photonic structures are stacked [3]. My research develops this platform by addressing three umbrella challenges. First, I develop processes to generate free-standing membranes etched with photonic structures. Second, I explore nanoimprint lithography and coherent diffraction lithography as two methods of patterning large-area 2DPCs with registration. Finally, I present solutions to the specific stacking hurdles of particle contamination, alignment [4] and membrane detachment.

3/24/09 2:00 PM - ATOMIC PHYSICS DIVISION SEMINAR: Quantum Antidots: Spin-Resolved Transport and Quantum Structure
In two-dimensional electron systems, quantum antidots (ADs) are relatively unstudied in comparison to quantum dots. Where a quantum dot is essentially a 'valley' in a 2D potential landscape, an AD is a 'hill,' with circulating electronic states quantized by a perpendicular magnetic field due to the Aharonov-Bohm effect. When these states are coupled to current-carrying edge states in a quantum device, the AD serves as an electron interferometer, and so ADs are potentially important components of devices using quantum hall edge states (either integer or fractional) for coherent manipulation in solid state systems. I will describe some of the key features and potential applications of AD devices, and present the results of several recent experiments which probe the detailed quantum structure of AD states through spin-resolved measurements.
