COMBIgor: Data-Analysis Package for Combinatorial Materials Science.

Combinatorial experiments involve synthesis of sample libraries with lateral composition gradients requiring spatially resolved characterization of structure and properties. Because of the maturation of combinatorial methods and their successful application in many fields, the modern combinatorial laboratory produces diverse and complex data sets requiring advanced analysis and visualization techniques. In order to utilize these large data sets to uncover new knowledge, the combinatorial scientist must engage in data science.

Active stabilization of alkali-atom vapor density with a solid-state electrochemical alkali-atom source.

We report a demonstration of vapor-phase Rubidium (Rb) density stabilization in a vapor cell using a solid-state electrochemical Rb source device. Clear Rb density stabilization is observed. Further demonstrations show that the temperature coefficient for Rb density can be reduced more than 100 times when locked and the device's power consumption is less than 10 mW.
