Polarized neutron reflectometer: A new instrument to measure magnetic depth profiles

TL;DR: In this article, the magnetic depth profiles near the surfaces of ferromagnets and superconductors were determined by measuring the spin-dependent reflectivities of a well-collimated (0.01°) beam of cold neutrons from surfaces of a few cm2.

Melting of icosahedral gold nanoclusters from molecular dynamics simulations

TL;DR: Molecular dynamics simulations show that gold clusters with about 600-3000 atoms crystallize into a Mackay icosahedron upon cooling from the liquid, and the average shape of the cluster is nearly spherical at melting.

The use of a Monte Carlo method for evaluating uncertainty and expanded uncertainty

TL;DR: This paper shows that a Monte Carlo method is an effective and versatile tool for determining the PDF for the measurands and provides guidance on optimizing the approach, identifies some pitfalls and indicates means for validating the results.

Multiphoton detachment of electrons from negative ions

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple analytical solution for the problem of multiphoton detachment from negative ions by a linearly polarized laser field is found, which is valid in a wide range of intensities and frequencies of the field, from the perturbation theory to the tunneling regime, and is applicable to the excess-photon as well as near-threshold detachment.

Pitt’s inequality and the uncertainty principle

TL;DR: In this article, a simple argument based on a sharp form of Pitt's inequality is used to obtain a logarithmic estimate of uncertainty, which is then used to measure uncertainty.
