- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST), Electromagnetics Division requires a contractor for the measurement, characterization, and analysis of spin momentum transfer components for telecommunications applications. The goal is to determine the nature and magnitude of spin wave generation in devices exhibiting spin momentum transfer effects using time-averaged and time-resolved magneto-optic methods. The measurements are to be performed at NIST using a recently acquired variable temperature/high magnetic field optical cryostat and pulsed laser diode system. The contractor must have a combination of skills and past experience in magneto-optics, time-resolved optical measurements, coherent control techniques, and microwave circuit design. The contractor must also be familiar with spin momentum transfer phenomena, with a thorough understanding of both experimental evidence and theoretical understanding. Specific work tasks will include: 1) design and construction of dual laser pump/probe system for the measurement of coherent spin precession in GaAs; 2) measurement of time-resolved dynamics of spins in GaAs under a variety of excitations, including rf field pulses delivered with coplanar waveguide technology, proximity effects due to dyperpolarization of nuclei in ferromagnet/semiconductor (FM/SC) heterostructures, and peristaltic pumping as a result of ferromagnetic resonance in the ferromagnet of a FM/SC heterostructure. The contract period is March 1, 2004 through March 1, 2005. This procurement is being conducted per FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures (NTE $100K). Proposals must be received by February 23, 2004. Proposals must demonstrate capability to meet the above requirement. Proposals must also include business size, Federal Taxpayer Identification Number, and Duns and Bradstreet Number. The Mountain Administrative Support Center (MASC), Acquisition Management Division, requires that all contractors doing business with this Acquisition Office must be registered with the Central Contractor Registry (CCR). As of October 1, 2003, NO award can be made unless the vender is registered in CCR. For additional information and to register in CCR please access the following web site: http://www.ccr.gov/. In order to register with the CCR and to be eligible to receive an award from this acquisition office, all offerors must have a Dun & Bradstreet Number. A Dun & Bradstreet number may be acquired free of charge by contacting Dun & Bradstreet on-line at https://www.dnb.com/product/eupdate/requestOptions.html or by phone at (800) 333-0505. Terms and Conditions can be found on http://www.arnet.gov/far/ and agency level protest procedures can be found on web site http://oamweb.osec.doc.gov/conops/reflib/alp1296.htm. A copy in full text is available from office address and phone number listed in notice. Anticipated award date February 25, 2004.
