Starting Dynamics of a Fully Electronically Controlled Linear Mamyshev Oscillator
Yi-Hao Chen, Pavel Sidorenko, Frank Wise
We start an environmentally-stable linear Mamyshev oscillator with electronically-controlled modulated pump and a moving filter. It delivers a 21-nJ pulse that becomes 65 fs in dur…
Effect of transient pinning on stability of drops sitting on an inclined plane
Viatcheslav V. Berejnov, Robert E. Thorne
We report on new instabilities of the quasi-static equilibrium of water drops pinned by a hydrophobic inclined substrate. The contact line of a statically pinned drop exhibits thre…
Effects of cryoprotectant concentration and cooling rate on vitrification of aqueous solutions
Viatcheslav Berejnov, Naji S. Husseini, Osama A. Alsaied +1
Vitrification of aqueous cryoprotectant mixtures is essential in cryopreservation of proteins and other biological samples. We report systematic measurements of critical cryoprotec…
Enhancing protein drop stability for crystallization by chemical patterning
Viatcheslav Berejnov, Robert E. Thorne
Motion of protein drops on crystallization media during routine handling is a major factor affecting the reproducibility of crystallization conditions. Drop stability can be enhanc…
In-Chain Tunneling Through Charge-Density Wave Nanoconstrictions and Break-Junctions
K. O'Neill, E. Slot, R. E. Thorne +1
We have fabricated longitudinal nanoconstrictions in the charge-density wave conductor (CDW) NbSe using a focused ion beam and using a mechanically controlled break-junction…
Measurement of the shear strength of a charge-density wave
K. O'Neill, K. Cicak, R. E. Thorne
We have explored the shear plasticity of charge density waves (CDWs) in niobium triselenide samples with cross-sections having a single micro-fabricated thickness step. Shear stres…
