Elastometric Sensing Using Higher Flexural Eigenmodes Of Microcantilevers, M. Spletzer, A. Raman, R. Reifenberger Jan 2007

Elastometric Sensing Using Higher Flexural Eigenmodes Of Microcantilevers, M. Spletzer, A. Raman, R. Reifenberger

Department of Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

We present a method to detect with high sensitivity the viscoelastic property changes of sensor coatings on microcantilever arrays due to radiation, analyte binding, or adsorption. The method uses higher order flexural eigenmodes to identify the location and magnitude of the nonuniform elasticity changes in the microcantilever coating. We demonstrate the method by monitoring the time evolution of resonance frequencies and Q factors of different flexural eigenmodes of microcantilevers functionalized with a small drop of a photosensitive polymer as it is exposed to ultraviolet radiation. The method is particularly well suited for measuring quantitatively the time varying viscoelastic properties of …

Application Of An Xmm-Newton Epic Monte Carlo Technique To Analysis And Interpretation Of Data For The Abell 1689, Rx J0658-55, And Centaurus Clusters Of Galaxies, K. Andersson, J. R. Peterson, G. Madejski

Department of Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

We propose a new Monte Carlo method to study extended X-ray sources with the European Photon Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard XMM-Newton. The smoothed particle inference (SPI) technique, described in a companion paper, is applied here to the EPIC data for the clusters of galaxies Abell 1689, Centaurus, and RX J0658-55 (the "bullet cluster"). We aim to show the advantages of this method of simultaneous spectral and spatial modeling over traditional X-ray spectral analysis. In Abell 1689 we confirm our earlier findings about structure in the temperature distribution and produce a high-resolution temperature map. We also find a hint of velocity …

On The Radio/X-Ray Correlation In Microquasars, Y. Q. Xue, W. Cui Jan 2007

On The Radio/X-Ray Correlation In Microquasars, Y. Q. Xue, W. Cui

Department of Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

Context. The broadband spectral energy distribution of microquasars has proven to be a valuable tool for assessing the roles of jets and accretion flows in microquasars, as well as the coupling between the two. The coupling might manifest itself observationally in the correlated radio and X-ray variabilities of a source. Such a radio/X-ray correlation has indeed been seen in several microquasars during the low-hard state and subsequently been claimed to be universal for all. If proven, the universal correlation would have profound implications on theoretical models. However, there is already observational evidence that suggests otherwise. Aims. In this paper, we …

Relativistic Beaming And The Intrinsic Properties Of Extragalactic Radio Jets, M. H. Cohen, M. L. Lister, D. C. Homan, M. Kadler, K. I. Kellermann, Y. Y. Kovalev, R. C. Vermeulen Jan 2007

Relativistic Beaming And The Intrinsic Properties Of Extragalactic Radio Jets, M. H. Cohen, M. L. Lister, D. C. Homan, M. Kadler, K. I. Kellermann, Y. Y. Kovalev, R. C. Vermeulen

Department of Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

Relations between the observed quantities for a beamed radio jet, which are the apparent transverse speed and the apparent luminosity (beta(app), L), and the intrinsic quantities, which are the Lorentz factor and the intrinsic luminosity (gamma, L-0), are investigated. The inversion from measured to intrinsic values is not unique, but approximate limits to gamma and L-0 can be found using probability arguments. Roughly half the sources in a flux density-limited, beamed sample have a value of gamma close to the measured value of beta(app). The methods are applied to observations of 119 AGN jets made with the VLBA at 15 …

Department of Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

We report on multifrequency linear polarization monitoring of 15 active galactic nuclei containing highly relativistic jets with apparent speeds from similar to 4c to > 40c. The measurements were obtained at optical, 1 tam, and 3 mm wavelengths, and at 7 mm with the Very Long Baseline Array. The data show a wide range in degree of linear polarization among the sources, from < 1 % to > 30%, and interday polarization variability in individual sources. The polarization properties suggest separation of the sample into three groups with low, intermediate, and high variability of polarization in the core at 7 mm (LVP, IVP, and HVP, respectively). …

Modeling The Accretion Disk X-Ray Continuum Of Black Hole Candidates, G. Pszota, W. Cui Jan 2007

Modeling The Accretion Disk X-Ray Continuum Of Black Hole Candidates, G. Pszota, W. Cui

Department of Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

We critically examine issues associated with determining the fundamental properties of the black hole and the surrounding accretion disk in an X-ray binary based on modeling the disk X-ray continuum of the source. We base our work mainly on two XMM-Newton observations of GX 339-4, because they provided high-quality data at low energies ( below 1 keV), which are critical for reliably modeling the spectrum of the accretion disk. A key issue examined is the determination of the so-called "color correction factor,'' which is often empirically introduced to account for the deviation of the local disk spectrum from a blackbody …

Nonlinear Magnetization Behavior Near The Spin-Glass Transition In The Layered Iii-Vi Diluted Magnetic Semiconductor Ga1-Xmnxs, T. M. Pekarek, E. M. Watson, J. Garner, P. M. Shand, I. Miotkowski, A. K. Ramdas

Department of Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

Magnetic properties of single crystalline Ga1-xMnxS (x=0.09) have been measured near the spin-glass transition. No other III-VI DMS is currently known to exhibit a spin-glass transition for comparison with Ga1-xMnxS. Ga1-xMnxS (T-c=11.2 K) shows unexpected similarity to II-VI DMS Zn1-xMnxTe (T-c=20.8 K). For both systems, the quantity chi(nl)=-M-nl/H (where M-nl=M-total-M-linear) diverges as the temperature approaches the spin-glass transition temperature T-c from above. It also increases with applied field at temperatures just above T-c for both systems. The spin-glass transitions in both Ga1-xMnxS and Zn1-xMnxTe follow the same universal scaling function with the same critical exponent values (gamma=4.0 +/- 1.0 and …

Bone-Shaped Short Fiber Composite, Purdue Ect Team

ECT Fact Sheets Archive

Civil engineers use steel, fiberglass and other similar materials to increase concrete's strength and toughness, but using those materials often requires costly construction techniques. Short-wire reinforced concrete should become a favorite technology since the process is compatible with standard construction processes and the steel used for the bone-shaped fibers is relatively cheap. Researchers at Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory have discovered that enlarging the ends of small fibers mixed into concrete substantially increases the material's overall strength and toughness.

Knowledge of the B-s decay fraction of the Upsilon(5S) resonance, f(S), is important for B-s meson studies at the Upsilon(5S) energy. Using a data sample collected by the CLEO III detector at CESR consisting of 0.423 fb(-1) on the Upsilon(5S) resonance, 6.34 fb(-1) on the Upsilon(4S) and 2.32 fb(-1) in the continuum below the Upsilon(4S), we measure B(Upsilon(5S)->phi X)=(13.8 +/- 0.7(-1.5)(+2.3))% and B(Upsilon(4S)->phi X)=(7.1 +/- 0.1 +/- 0.6)%; the ratio of the two rates is (1.9 +/- 0.1(-0.2)(+0.3)). This is the first measurement of the phi meson yield from the Upsilon(5S). Using these rates, and a model dependent …

We present a new measurement of the B+ meson differential cross section d sigma/dp(T) at root s=1960 GeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 739 pb(-1) collected with the upgraded CDF detector (CDF II) at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. B+ candidates are reconstructed through the decay B+-> J/psi K+, with J/psi ->mu(+)mu(-). The integrated cross section for producing B+ mesons with p(T)>= 6 GeV/c and vertical bar y vertical bar <= 1 is measured to be 2.78 +/- 0.24 mu b.

Using 355 pb(-1) of data collected by the CDF II detector in p (p) over bar at collisions at root s = 1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron, we study the fully reconstructed hadronic decays B-(s)(0) -> D-(s)(-)pi(+) and B-(s)(0) -> D-(s)(-) pi(+)pi(+)pi(-). We present the first measurement of the ratio of branching fractions B(B-s(0) -> D-s(-) pi(+)pi(+)pi(-))/B(B-0 -> D-s(-) pi(+)pi(+)pi(-)) = 1.05 +/- 0.10(stat) +/- 0.22(syst). We also update our measurement of B(B-s(0) -> D-s(-)pi(+))/B(B-0 -> D-pi(+)) to 1.13 +/- 0.08(stat) +/- 0.23(syst), improving the statistical uncertainty by more than a factor of 2. We find B(B-s(0) -> D-s(-)pi(+)) …

We present the scaling properties of Lambda, Xi, and Omega in midrapidity Au+Au collisions at the Brookhaven National Laboratory Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at root s(NN)=200 GeV. The yield of multistrange baryons per participant nucleon increases from peripheral to central collisions more rapidly than that of Lambda, indicating an increase of the strange-quark density of the matter produced. The strange phase-space occupancy factor gamma(s) approaches unity for the most central collisions. Moreover, the nuclear modification factors of p, Lambda, and Xi are consistent with each other for 2 < p(T) < 5 GeV/c in agreement with a scenario of hadron formation from constituent quark degrees of freedom.

Characterization And Optimization Of The Thermal Performance Of Miniature Piezoelectric Fans, Tolga Acikalin, S V. Garimella, Arvind Raman, James Petroski

CTRC Research Publications

Piezoelectric fans have emerged as a viable cooling technology for the thermal management of electronic devices, owing to their low- power consumption, minimal noise emission, and small and configurable dimensions. Piezoelectric fans are investigated for application in the cooling of low-power electronics. Different experimental configurations are considered, and the effect of varying the fan amplitude, the distance between the fan and the heat source, the fan length, its frequency offset from resonance, and the fan offset from the center of the heat source are studied to assess the cooling potential of the fans. A design of experiments (DOE) analysis revealed …
