We are called upon by our Nation to conduct leading-edge national-security research in the physics, modeling, hardening, and hardness assurance, and development of advanced microsystems, microelectronics, photonics, optoelectronics, micro-electrical-mechanical, and heterogeneously integrated circuits in Silicon CMOS, compound semiconductors and other materials and devices in harsh radiation environments. Dr. Nowlin, from the Advanced Microsystems Radiation Effects department, will describe recent research his team has reported on the development of radiation hardened technologies manufactured at SNL, as well as new work in the radiation hardness assurance of advanced integrated circuits from leading commercial manufacturers. Dr. Nathan Nowlin has 25 years experience in advanced microelectronics and radiation effects research. In his early career, he co-discovered the Enhanced Low Dose Rate Sensitivity (ELDRS) effect in bipolar transistors. He then spent several years in the semiconductor industry developing high voltage Lateral Drain MOS (LDMOS) process technology and leading yield engineering for a high-speed BiCMOS technology. In the early 2000’s, he went to work for Mission Research Corporation, where he led the development of a 90nm Radiation Hardened By Design (RHBD) library and SRAM compiler for spacecraft Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) designs. In his 10 years at Sandia, Dr. Nowlin has led research and development efforts for radiation hardening by design, advanced circuit modeling of radiation effects, and product engineering for high reliability, high consequence systems. Dr. Nowlin was a product realization team lead for 10 ASIC products, developing requirements, demonstrating prototypes, and initiating production for all aspects from wafer manufacturing, packaging, test, reliability, and radiation performance. His efforts enabled Sandia to successfully begin its largest ASIC production mission in its history. Dr. Nowlin now leads the Advanced Microsystems Radiation Effects department where he is responsible for trust and radiation hardness assurance of microsystems for national security applications. Dr. Nowlin is a Senior Member of the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society (NPSS), has authored or co-authored 21 papers, and serves on the organizing committees for the Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference (NSREC) and the Hardened Electronics And Radiation Technologies (HEART) technical interchange meeting.

Special Seminars - Associate Lab Directors of Oak Ridge National Laboratory - Wednesday, June 26, 2019 10:30 AM-12:00 PM, BRK 1001
by Wheeldon, Annette M 19 Jun '19

19 Jun '19

Dear Colleagues, Please join us for Special Seminars by Associate Lab Directors of Oak Ridge National Laboratory on Wednesday, June 26, 2019 from 10:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. in BRK 1001. Jeffrey A. (Jeff) Nichols, Ph.D., Associate Laboratory Director for Computing and Computational Sciences "How do we solve big science problems using all the modern tools and technologies at our fingertips?" The new Summit supercomputer provides unprecedented opportunity to perform modeling and simulation and artificial intelligence at a scale that is an order of magnitude greater than prior supercomputer systems. Exascale is on the horizon and ORNL just announced our next new system called Frontier to be delivered in 2021 - another order of magnitude more powerful! I will discuss the technologies used in Summit and Frontier. I will also talk about how, over the past couple of decades, supercomputers have changed the way we conduct science in the national lab complex. I will give examples of how integrating supercomputers, artificial intelligence, experiments, and new theories help to solve the nation's largest science problems. David Jarvis Dean, Associate Laboratory Director for Physical Sciences "Approaching Quantum Computation" How do we harness a novel quantum mechanical property in a material to perform computation? This question lies at the multidisciplinary intersection of theoretical physics, information theory, materials R&D and algorithm development. The question drives an increasing portfolio of R&D at ORNL. During this talk, I will describe current and future research directions that will enable us to tackle this question. The goals are (1) to learn how the sometimes surprising and unexpected properties of quantum materials can be tailored to address technological needs, and (2) to dramatically improve the ability to synthesize, characterize, and control quantum materials.

PQSEI Seminar - Jana Lustikova, Tohoku University Friday, June 21, 2019 1-2 PM, PHYS 111
by Wheeldon, Annette M 19 Jun '19

19 Jun '19

Dear Colleagues, Please join us for a joint PQSEI/BNC/Spintronics seminar (details below). Please contact me if you wish to meet with Jana during her visit. She arrives on June 20th and departs on June 27th. Jana Lustikova Center for Science & Innovation in Spintronics (CSIS) and Advanced Institute for Materials Research (AIMR) Tohoku University Friday, June 21, 2019 1-2 p.m., PHYS 111 "Rectification effects in a superconducting vortex liquid with magnet proximity" Rectification appears in systems which exhibit a difference in resistivity depending on the polarity of the current, i.e. nonreciprocity, leading to a conversion of a d.c. input into an a.c. output. One of the requirements for rectification is broken inversion symmetry. In electronic systems, inversion symmetry has to be broken at atomic scale due to the short coherence length of electrons in condensed matter. As a result, electronic rectification effects are observed at interfaces and junctions [1] or in materials with noncentrosymmetric crystalline structure [2]. In this talk, I will report our observation of nonreciprocal resistivity and rectification in a vortex liquid phase of a superconducting material without lowered crystalline symmetry [3]. Superconducting vortices can be deleted or created only at the edges of the sample and their flow is a conserved quantity in the bulk. Owing to this property, nonreciprocal vortex flow can be realized just by imposing asymmetric magnetic environment on the edges of a specimen. We have used an amorphous superconducting alloy with weak vortex pinning, and by putting it close to the ferrimagnetic insulator Y3Fe5O12, successfully observed nonreciprocal electric resistivity. In addition, this system generates d.c. electric power from electromagnetic noise in the measurement equipment. [1] C.O. Avci et al., Nature Physics 11, 570 (2015). [2] T.
