Jacob Rabinow discusses his career at NBS. He arrived in 1938 and began rating water current meters. He describes the genteel atmosphere of NBS and Washington, DC, at the time. During the war he designed safety mechanisms for fuzes, and was...
quantum Hall effect; resistance standard; temperature dependence
We present detailed measurements of the temperature dependence of the Hall and longitudinal resistances on a quantum Hall device [( GaAs( 7)] which has been used as a resistance standard at NIST. We find a simple power law relationship between the...
Q and T corrections; configurations 3dn4p; energy levels; iron group; interaction parameters; third spectra
Experimental levels of the configurations 3dn4p in the third spectra of the iron group were compared with corresponding calculated values. Besides the electrostatic and spin-orbit interactions the aL(L + 1 ), Q and T corrections were considered in...
This PTR type standard 0.1-ohm resistor was made by Otto Wolff in Berlin. It was calibrated in 1898 at the PTR (Physikalisch-Technische Reichsanstalt). Presumably it was then purchased with others by the Office of Weights and Measures, (precursor...
This PTR type 0.1-ohm standard resistor was one of a group of four resistors which apparently had been in use by the Office of Weights and Measures prior to 1901. (The Office of Weights and Measures was a precursor to the National Bureau of...
This paper presents some results concerning the selection of a method for estimating the slope of a straight line through the origin. For fitting the line y= beta x when the variance of y is proportional to xp, it is well known that the best...
