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.

11:00 AM - BIOPHYSICS GROUP AND JBI SEMINAR SERIES: Protein-protein and protein-water dynamics: from THz to X-rays
Although the focus in protein folding and protein dynamics is often on the polypeptide itself, the solvent plays a major role. The free energy contribution of the solvent is in fact roughly comparable to that of the polypeptide. Solvent effects are more difficult to probe. I present some experiments and computational analysis working towards differentiating solvent effects better: THz spectroscopy during protein folding can look at the water directly. Ultrafast high-pressure jumps reveal differential contributions to secondary and tertiary structure stability when either only solvent density, or solvent density and thermal energy are changed. Small angle X-ray scattering studies coupled with Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics analysis allow us to determine accurately the range of water-mediated protein-protein interactions. And finally, protein tethering experiments can separate out the competing effects of transient protein-protein interaction and folding.

10:30 AM - ATOMIC PHYSICS DIVISION SEMINAR: Towards trapped hydrogen-like ions synthesized in circular Rydberg states
The spectrum of the hydrogen atom has an illustrious history; in particular, it spurred the development of quantum electrodynamics--"the strange theory of light and matter (Richard Feynman)" that has remained unreasonably successful under stringent tests. Exotic atoms have been created to emulate hydrogen. Although the advantages of using high angular momentum states is long known, recent calculations revealed a surprising simplicity in the theory of circular Rydberg states of hydrogen-like ions. The greater simplicity of this regime led to a significant improvement in the accuracy of predicted levels (orders of magnitude better than in the current theory for low angular momentum states), thus allowing better tests of theory and determinations of fundamental constants if they can be compared with precision frequency measurements. I will discuss the advantages and some of the challenges of realizing such measurements in a trap wherein hydrogen-like ions are formed from bare nuclei, in circular Rydberg states.

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.

9:00 AM - CUSTOMER ACCESS AND SUPPORT DIVISION SEMINAR: LabVIEW Users Group Meeting
Agenda – LabVIEW User Group Meeting Date/Time: Thursday, March 12th, 2009 9AM – 11AM Location: Administration Building – Lecture Room E 9:00AM – 9:30AM General Announcements We'll begin by making some general announcements about upcoming LabVIEW related events coming up. For example: upcoming seminars, training opportunities, etc. 9:30AM – 10:15AM Presentation by Michael Stelmach and Don Williams Topic: Simplifying and Automating Performance Evaluation in Cultural Heritage Imaging Perhaps the single biggest challenge in successful adoption of any standard is not so much technical rigor but rather the resource availability with which it can be easily practiced and understood by the communities it is intended to serve. This presentation will provide the background and demonstration of such resources funded by the Library of Congress to enable the practical adoption and practice of ISO digital imaging performance standards in digitization workflows of the cultural heritage community. 10:15AM – 10:30AM Break 10:30AM – 10:50AM General Discussion This is where the scientific community at NIST has the opportunity to present any issues or problems they may have come across when working with LabVIEW. It's a great opportunity to find solutions to problems by asking general questions to the group. 10:50AM – 11:00AM Call for Presentations Our user group meetings usually contain 1 or 2 presentations from labview users at NIST. We are always looking for people to voluntarily come up with something to present to the group. So if you have a project that you're working on or have some code that you wrote that the group may find valuable, this will be your opportunity to volunteer for a future user group meeting.

10:30 AM - CNST NANOFABRICATION RESEARCH GROUP SEMINAR: Characterization of Electronic Functionality in Nanoscale Structures
During the 1990's, work with Spatially Resolved Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy in the electron microscope showed that electronic structure at the 70-200meV level, relevent to the operation of semiconductors, can be obtained from nanometer-sized particles, single defects, and Si and Si-Ge quantum wells. It became apparent during this work that the available spatial resolution of about 2 Angstroms was not adequate to address the growing need to characterize semiconductor devices for local compositon, atomic structure and electronic structure. Thus, correction of aberrations within the electron microscope, an unattained dream for the first 50 years of electron microscopy, became a necessary capability for development of present and future semiconductor products. Addition of aberration correction produced a sub-Angstrom electron probe for the first time, revealing a dynamic landscape of individual atoms on surfaces and within the bulk. As it becomes easier to precisely control the microscope electron optical system, it will soon be possible to extend the spectroscopy to 10-30 meV energies, making accessible phonons, structural transitions, bandgaps in nanotubes, carrier plasmons, low frequency dielectric constants and possibly carrier transport channels in single molecules -- all with sub-Angstrom spatial resolution. These excitations will likely exhibit unforseen behavior, resulting from the physical confinement in nanometer-sized systems.

1:30 PM - CNST NANOFABRICATION RESEARCH GROUP SEMINAR: Measuring and understanding reaction kinetics at nano scale
The world of nanomaterials has become the 'real world' for most of the applications in the area of nanotechnology. As post-synthesis handling of materials at a nanoscale is not practical, nanomaterials often need to be synthesized directly as part of a device or circuit. In situ synthesis of nanomaterials requires optimization of reaction kinetics. A clear understanding of the structure, chemistry, and properties of individual naonaparticle is essential to fabricate individual components for nanotechnology. This demand posted by nanotechnology has led to the modifications in the design of transmission electron microscopes that permit us to perform in situ synthesis and characterization concurrently, such environmental transmission electron microscope (E(S)TEM). A modern E(S)TEM, equipped with a field-emission gun (FEG), energy filter or electron energy loss spectrometer, scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) coils, and bright and dark field detectors, is a versatile tool for understanding and measuring chemical processes at nanometer level. Its applications range from in situ measurements of the reaction steps such as oxidation-reduction or corrosion, to in situ synthesis of nanomaterials such as quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, Si, or GaN nanowires. Examples of measuring reaction kinetics of individual naoparticles (e.g. CNT, Si nanowires) and structural modifications during functioning of nanomaterials (catalyst) will be used elucidate the applications of the E(S)TEM.

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.
