We present an open-path mid-infrared dual-comb spectrometer (DCS) capable of precise measurement of the stable water isotopologues H216O and HD16O. This system runs in a remote configuration at a rural test site with high uptime and achieves a precision of

Radiative Decay Rate and Branching Fractions of MgF

Zack Buck, Matthew Connolly, May Ling Martin, Damian Lauria, Jason Killgore, Peter Bradley, Yan Chen, Ke An, Andrew Slifka
Interrupted tensile tests were performed on an AISI 4130 pressure vessel steel and investigated by neutron diffraction and scanning microscopy techniques. Analysis of the neutron diffraction patterns reveal a partitioning of ferrite and martensite phases

Three-Dimensional Neutron Far-Field Tomography of a Bulk Skyrmion Lattice
