DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

International Trade Administration


University of Pittsburgh, et al.; Notice of Decision on 
Application for Duty-Free Entry of Scientific Instruments

    This is a decision pursuant to Section 6(c) of the Educational, 
Scientific, and Cultural Materials Importation Act of 1966 (Pub. L. 89-
651, as amended by Pub. L. 106-36; 80 Stat. 897; 15 CFR part 301). 
Related records can be viewed between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. in Room 
3720, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th and Constitution Ave. NW., 
Washington, DC.
    Docket Number: 15-044. Applicant: University of Pittsburgh, 
Pittsburgh, PA 15260. Instrument: Scios Dual Beam Field Emission 
Scanning Electron Microscope. Manufacturer: Scios, Czech Republic. 
Intended Use: See notice at 81 FR 11517, March 4, 2016. Comments: None 
received. Decision: Approved. We know of no instruments of equivalent 
scientific value to the foreign instruments described below, for such 
purposes as this is intended to be used, that was being manufactured in 
the United States at the time of order. Reasons: The instrument will be 
used to reveal the surface and sub-surface microstructure metrics of 
structural materials such as steels, Ni-based superalloys, Al-, Ti-, 
Mn-base and other specialty alloys, functional materials based on 
ceramic, metal and semiconducting thin films, particulates and 
composites.
    Docket Number: 15-049. Applicant: University of Maryland College 
Park, College Park, MD 20742. Instrument: Laser lithography system 
Photonic Professional GT and accessories. Manufacturer: Nanoscribe 
GmbH, Hermon Von Hermholtz Platz 1, Germany. Intended Use: See notice 
at 81 FR 11517, March 4, 2016. Comments: None received. Decision: 
Approved. We know of no instruments of equivalent scientific value to 
the foreign instruments described below, for such purposes as this is 
intended to be used,

[[Page 49950]]

that was being manufactured in the United States at the time of order. 
Reasons: The fundamental capabilities of the instrument target the 
nanoscale fabrication of complex 3-dimensional polymer components and 
systems. The instrument will be used for the characterization and 
optimization of fabrication resolution and precision for specific 
applications and device and system level characterization of components 
manufactured using the nanoscribe tool. It will be used to perform 
research into the nanoscale patterning of photoactive polymer 
materials, including epoxy-based photoresists. Unique features of this 
instrument include two photon polymerization of various UV-curable 
photoresists, two photon exposure of common positive tone photoresists, 
and the highest resolution available for a 3D printer.
    Docket Number: 15-055. Applicant: Rutgers University, Piscataway, 
NJ 08854. Instrument: Opitcal Floating Zone Furnace. Manufacturer: 
Crystal Systems Cooperation, Japan. Intended Use: See notice at 81 FR 
32724, May 24, 2016. Comments: None received. Decision: Approved. We 
know of no instruments of equivalent scientific value to the foreign 
instruments described below, for such purposes as this is intended to 
be used, that was being manufactured in the United States at the time 
of order. Reasons: The instrument will be used to grow high quality 
bulk single crystals of a variety of complex quantum materials 
including multiferroics, ferroelectrics and low-symmetry magnets. 
Research projects will include the duality between FR and PUA states in 
hexagonal manganites, the duality between Ising triangular 
antiferromagnetism and improper ferroelectricity in hexagonal systems, 
the domains and domain walls in other polar or chiral magnets, the 
domains and domain walls in new hybrid improper ferroelectrics, the 
domains and domain walls in metastable phases at the phase boundaries, 
and magnetic skyrmion in non-centrosymmetric magnets. The instrument is 
equipped with 5 high power (1000 W in total) continuous wavelength 
laser diodes as a heating source. Five lasers ensure temperature 
homogeneity along the azimuthal direction around the crystal rod to be 
greater than 95%. The maximum temperature gradient along the growth 
direction is greater than 150 degrees Celsius/mm. Crystal growth can go 
from extremely stable and slow growth to very rapid quenching mode, 
0.01 to 300 mm/h. This enables the growth of incongruently melting and 
highly evaporating materials.
    Docket Number: 15-058. Applicant: UChicago Argonne, Lemont, IL 
60439-4873. Instrument: IEX ARPES Cryo-Manipulator. Manufacturer: 
Omnivac, Hansjoerg Ruppender, Germany. Intended Use: See notice at 81 
FR 32724-25, May 24, 2016. Comments: None received. Decision: Approved. 
We know of no instruments of equivalent scientific value to the foreign 
instruments described below, for such purposes as this is intended to 
be used, that was being manufactured in the United States at the time 
of order. Reasons: The instrument will be used to cool and position 
single crystal and thin film samples in an angle-resolved photoemission 
spectroscopy (ARPES) chamber. ARPES is used to map the electronic band 
structure of material. Samples include high-temperature 
superconductors, graphene, and other low dimensional materials, metals 
and complex oxides. The instrument's unique features include ultra-high 
vacuum compatible, six-axes of motion with a specified range x: +/-
10mm, 1[mu]m, +/-0.05[mu]m, y: +/-10mm, 1[mu]m, +/-0.05[mu]m, z: 300mm, 
1[mu]m, +/-0.05[mu]m, polar rotation: 360 degrees, 0.005 degrees, 
0.0001 degrees, flip rotation: -15/+60 degrees, .1 degree, 0.05 
degrees, azimuthal rotation: +/-90 degrees, .1 degree, 0.05 degrees, a 
low base temperature of 5.5K and high vibrational stability (motion at 
the sample <500 nm).

    Dated: July 22, 2016.
