One of the alternative insulator to replace the buried oxide layer is aluminum nitride (AlN), which has a thermal conductivity that is about 200 times higher than that of SiO2 (320 W·m ? 1·K? 1 versus 1.4 W·m? 1·K? 1). To investigate the self-heating effects of small-size MOSFETs fabricated on silicon-on-aluminum nitride (SOAN) substrate, a two-dimensional numerical analysis is performed by using a device simulator called MEDICI run on a Solaris workstation to simulate the electri-cal characteristics and temperature distribution by comparing with those of bulk and standard SOI MOSFETs. Our study suggests that AlN is a suitable alternative to silicon dioxide as a buried dielectric in SOI and expands the appli-cations of SOI to high temperature conditions.展开更多

After adding rare earth elements, grain growth in this system was inhibited and the grain size was reduced evidently which realized the fine-grained effect. In this system, the trivalent oxides Ho_2O_3 and Er_2O_3 were added to BaTiO_3 ceramics. The rare earth oxides do not enter into inner lattice totally to replace A or B sites. Some of additives can improve dielectric strength by forming nonferroelectric phases, and the rest maintained at grain boundaries controls overgrowth of grains. The dielectric constant at room temperature is increased up to 3000 and the curve of TCC becomes flat. Meanwhile, the dielectric strength E_b becomes higher.展开更多

Argon gas pressure varied from 0.5 Pa to 2.5 Pa with radio frequency power of 120 W. XRD results showed that all the ZnO︰Al films had a polycrystalline hexagonal structure and a （002） preferred orientation with the c-axis perpendicular to the substrate. The grain sizes of the films were 6.3-14.8 nm.SEM images indicated the ZnO︰Al film with low Argon gas pressure was denser and the deposition rate of the films depended strongly on the Argon gas pressure, increasing firstly and then decreasing with increasing the pressure. The highest deposition rate was 5.2 nm/min at 1 Pa. The optical transmittance of the ZnO︰Al films increased and the blue shift of the absorption edge appeared when the Argon gas pressure increased. The highest transmittance of obtained ZnO︰Al films at 2.5 Pa was about 85% in the visible region. The electrical properties of the films were worsened with the increase of the Argon gas power from 1 Pa to 2.5 Pa. The resistivity of obtained film at 1.0 Pa was 2.79×10-2 Ω·cm.展开更多

The stationary-phase characteristic of the spatiotemporallyencoded（SPEN） method offers an inherent applicability to r FOV imaging. In this study, a flexible r FOV imaging method is presented and the superiority of the SPEN approach in r FOV imaging is demonstrated. The proposed method is validated with phantom and in vivo rat experiments, including cardiac imaging and contrast-enhanced perfusion imaging. For comparison, the echo planar imaging（EPI） experiments with orthogonal RF excitation are also performed. The results show that the signal-to-noise ratios of the images acquired by the proposed method can be higher than those obtained with the r FOV EPI. Moreover, the proposed method shows better performance in the cardiac imaging and perfusion imaging of rat kidney, and it can scan one or more regions of interest（ROIs） with high spatial resolution in a single shot. It might be a favorable solution to ultrafast imaging applications in cases with severe susceptibility heterogeneities, such as cardiac imaging and perfusion imaging. Furthermore, it might be promising in applications with separate ROIs, such as mammary and limb imaging.展开更多

The analytical results show that V_(OC) increases linearly with the logarithm of illumination intensity under usual illumination. There are two critical values of the interface state density(D_(it)) for the open-circuit voltage(V_(OC)), D_(it)^(crit,1) and D_(it)crit,2(a few 1010 cm^(-2)·e V^(-1)). V_(OC) decreases remarkably when D_(it) is higher than D_(it)^(crit,1). To achieve high V_(OC), the interface states should reduce down to a few 1010 cm^(-2)·e V^(-1). Due to the difference between the effective density of states in the conduction and valence band edges of c-Si, the open-circuit voltage of a-Si:H/c-Si heterojunction cells fabricated on n-type c-Si wafers is about 22 mV higher than that fabricated on p-type c-Si wafers at the same case. V_(OC) decreases with decreasing the a-Si:H doping concentration at low doping level since the electric field over the c-Si depletion region is reduced at low doping level. Therefore, the a-Si:H layer should be doped higher than a critical value of 5×10^(18) cm^(-3) to achieve high V_(OC).展开更多

Pr ions are distributed in the BaWi_4O_9 grains and the segregation of Pr ions was observed on the grain boundaries of BaTi_4O_9/BaTi_4O_9. The content of Ti^(3+) and Ti^(2+) decrease in the BPT system composites due to the addition of BaTi_4O_9 fibers, which improved the dielectric properties of the system.

However, due to synthesizing arbitrary view images, the virtual view images mostly have no reference images and are only assessed using non-reference. Virtual view images synthesized by depth estimation reference software （DERS） and view synthesis reference software （VSRS） often accompanied with blockiness and other distortions on the edge. In addition, matching level for the depth map and the corresponding texture maps of left and right views also affects the quality of the virtual view. This paper compares the edge similarity of the depth and the corresponding texture maps which generate the intermediate virtual view and combined with the virtual view＇s blockiness which causing blur to evaluate the quality of the virtual view. Experiment results show that the proposed method can reflect the quality of the virtual view better.展开更多

The study shows that the composition of the non-coherent optical beam in the optical spectrum and the diffraction effect are decreased by Compton scattering, and the probability of forming the soliton is greatly increased. The vibration peak value in the propagation, compressed degree, changed cycle, and radius of the soliton are all smaller than those before the scattering, but its coherent radius is larger than that before the scattering. In this propagation, the self-focusing plays a key role.展开更多

Moreover, safe and secure residential space is the necessity of every individual as most of the family members are working. The home is left unattended for most of the day-time and home invasion crimes are at its peak as constantly monitoring of the home is difficult. Another reason for the need of home safety is specifically when the elderly person is alone or the kids are with baby-sitter and servant. Home security system i.e. HomeOS is thus applicable and desirable for resident’s safety and convenience. This will be achieved by turning your home into a smart home by intelligent remote monitoring. Smart home comes into picture for the purpose of controlling and monitoring the home. It will give you peace of mind, as you can have a close watch and stay connected anytime, anywhere. But, is common man really concerned about home security? An investigative study was done by conducting a survey to get the inputs from different people from diverse backgrounds. The main motivation behind this survey was to make people aware of advanced HomeOS and analyze their need for security. This paper also studied the necessity of HomeOS investigative study in current situation where the home burglaries are rising at an exponential rate. In order to arrive at findings and conclusions, data were analyzed. The graphical method was employed to identify the relative significance of home security. From this analysis, we can infer that the cases of having kids and aged person at home or location of home contribute significantly to the need of advanced home security system. At the end, the proposed system model with its flow and the challenges faced while implementing home security systems are also discussed.展开更多

The new encryption embedded processor not only offers Rivest Shamir Adlemen （RSA）, Advanced Encryption Standard （AES）, 3 Data Encryption Standard （3 DES） and Secure Hash Algorithm 1 （SHA - 1 ） security engines, but also involves a new memory encryption scheme. The new memory encryption scheme is implemented by a memory encryption cache （MEC）, which protects the confidentiality of the memory by AES encryption. The experi- ments show that the new secure design only causes 1.9% additional delay on the critical path and cuts 25.7% power consumption when the processor writes data back. The new processor balances the performance overhead, the power consumption and the security and fully meets the wireless sensor environment requirement. After physical design, the new encryption embedded processor has been successfully tape-out.展开更多

When depth maps are derived using existing depth estimation methods, the depth distortions will cause undesirable artifacts in the synthesized views. To solve this problem, a 3D video quality model base depth maps （D-3DV） for virtual view synthesis and depth map coding in the FTV applications is proposed. First, the relationships between distortions in coded depth map and rendered view are derived. Then, a precisely 3DV quality model based depth characteristics is develop for the synthesized virtual views. Finally, based on D-3DV model, a multilateral filtering is applied as a pre-processed filter to reduce rendering artifacts. The experimental results evaluated by objective and subjective methods indicate that the proposed D-3DV model can reduce bit-rate of depth coding and achieve better rendering quality.展开更多

The multifractal for-malism reveals more “hidden” information of EEG by using singularity spectrum to characterize its nonlin-ear dynamics. In this paper,the zero-crossing time intervals of sleep EEG were studied using multifractal analysis. A new multifractal measure Δasα was pro-posed to describe the asymmetry of singularity spec-trum,and compared with the singularity strength range Δα that was normally used as a degree indi-cator of multifractality. One-way analysis of variance and multiple comparison tests showed that the new measure we proposed gave better discrimination of sleep stages,especially in the discrimination be-tween sleep and awake,and between sleep stages 3 and 4.展开更多

The vibration peak value in the propagation, compressed degree, changed cycle, and radius of the soliton are all smaller than those before the scattering, but its coherent radius is larger than that before the scattering. In this propagation, the self-focusing plays a key role.

文摘CaBi_(4)Ti_(4)O_(15)(CBT)-based Aurivillius high-temperature piezoceramics with different Sb-Mn co-doping amounts were synthesized via the conventional sintering technique.The influences of doping amount on the product were studied via their crystal structure,microstructure,and piezoelectric performance.It is found that an appropriate Sb-Mn co-doping amount can effectively optimize the crystal structure and decrease the oxygen vacancy concentration in CBT ceramics,leading to enhanced electrical properties.Optimized electrical performance with a high Curie temperature(TC)of 792℃and a remarkable piezoelectric coefficient(d33)of 25 p C/N were achieved at a doping amount(x)of 0.05.Furthermore,this ceramic is found to exhibit an excellent thermal stability,with d33 retaining 88%of its original value after annealing at 600℃for 2 h.Moreover,this ceramic shows a high electrical resistivity(ρ)of 1.35×10^(8)Ω·cm with a small dielectric loss(tanδ)of 1.7%at 400℃.Because of such outstanding piezoelectric performance,it is believed that these Sb-Mn co-doped CBT ceramics could be potential candidates for high-temperature piezoelectric applications.
文摘Home security should be a top concern for everyone who owns or rents a home. Moreover, safe and secure residential space is the necessity of every individual as most of the family members are working. The home is left unattended for most of the day-time and home invasion crimes are at its peak as constantly monitoring of the home is difficult. Another reason for the need of home safety is specifically when the elderly person is alone or the kids are with baby-sitter and servant. Home security system i.e. HomeOS is thus applicable and desirable for resident’s safety and convenience. This will be achieved by turning your home into a smart home by intelligent remote monitoring. Smart home comes into picture for the purpose of controlling and monitoring the home. It will give you peace of mind, as you can have a close watch and stay connected anytime, anywhere. But, is common man really concerned about home security? An investigative study was done by conducting a survey to get the inputs from different people from diverse backgrounds. The main motivation behind this survey was to make people aware of advanced HomeOS and analyze their need for security. This paper also studied the necessity of HomeOS investigative study in current situation where the home burglaries are rising at an exponential rate. In order to arrive at findings and conclusions, data were analyzed. The graphical method was employed to identify the relative significance of home security. From this analysis, we can infer that the cases of having kids and aged person at home or location of home contribute significantly to the need of advanced home security system. At the end, the proposed system model with its flow and the challenges faced while implementing home security systems are also discussed.

文摘Optoelectronic properties of MoSe2 are modulated by controlled annealing in air.Characterizations by Raman spectroscopy and XPS demonstrate the introduction of oxygen defects.Considerable increase in electron and hole mobilities reveals the highly improved electron and hole transport.Furthermore,the photocurrent is enhanced by nearly four orders of magnitudes under 7 nW laser exposure after annealing.The remarkable enhancement in the photoresponse is attributed to an increase in hole trapping centers and a reduction in resistance.Furthermore,the annealed photodetector shows a fast time response on the order of 10 ms and responsivity of 3×10^(4) A/W.

文摘Different sp^(3) content diamond-like carbon films are deposited on to highly n-doped Si(111)substrates by a new plasma deposition technique-filtered arc deposition.Their electron field emission properties are studied by using a simple diode structure.It is showed that the turn-on field is decreased and field emission current density is increased with the increasing sp3 content(75-80%,80-83%,and 88-90%)of the films.Field emission current of 0.1μA from the three samples was detected under the electric field of 10.1,5.6,and 2.9 V/μm and emission current density of 4.4,15.2,and 43.2μA/cm^(2),respectively,under 14.3 V/μm.Fowler-Nordheim(F-N)plots of the three samples nearly show of lineaity indicating that electron field emission obeys F-N theory.

文摘Using the quantum invariant theory and unitary transformation means, we study the influences of multi-photon nonlinear Compton scattering on the photon polarization in photonic crystal fibers(PCF). The results show that the photon polarization of the incident photon changes a lot due to scattered optical, and its general geometric phase factor, Hamiton number and evolution operator are definited both by the incident and scattered optical.
文摘This paper presents a new encryption embedded processor aimed at the application requirement of wireless sensor network （WSN）. The new encryption embedded processor not only offers Rivest Shamir Adlemen （RSA）, Advanced Encryption Standard （AES）, 3 Data Encryption Standard （3 DES） and Secure Hash Algorithm 1 （SHA - 1 ） security engines, but also involves a new memory encryption scheme. The new memory encryption scheme is implemented by a memory encryption cache （MEC）, which protects the confidentiality of the memory by AES encryption. The experi- ments show that the new secure design only causes 1.9% additional delay on the critical path and cuts 25.7% power consumption when the processor writes data back. The new processor balances the performance overhead, the power consumption and the security and fully meets the wireless sensor environment requirement. After physical design, the new encryption embedded processor has been successfully tape-out.

文摘Depth maps are used for synthesis virtual view in free-viewpoint television （FTV） systems. When depth maps are derived using existing depth estimation methods, the depth distortions will cause undesirable artifacts in the synthesized views. To solve this problem, a 3D video quality model base depth maps （D-3DV） for virtual view synthesis and depth map coding in the FTV applications is proposed. First, the relationships between distortions in coded depth map and rendered view are derived. Then, a precisely 3DV quality model based depth characteristics is develop for the synthesized virtual views. Finally, based on D-3DV model, a multilateral filtering is applied as a pre-processed filter to reduce rendering artifacts. The experimental results evaluated by objective and subjective methods indicate that the proposed D-3DV model can reduce bit-rate of depth coding and achieve better rendering quality.

文摘Traditional methods for nonlinear dy-namic analysis,such as correlation dimension,Lyapunov exponent,approximate entropy,detrended fluctuation analysis,using a single parameter,cannot fully describe the extremely sophisticated behavior of electroencephalogram (EEG). The multifractal for-malism reveals more “hidden” information of EEG by using singularity spectrum to characterize its nonlin-ear dynamics. In this paper,the zero-crossing time intervals of sleep EEG were studied using multifractal analysis. A new multifractal measure Δasα was pro-posed to describe the asymmetry of singularity spec-trum,and compared with the singularity strength range Δα that was normally used as a degree indi-cator of multifractality. One-way analysis of variance and multiple comparison tests showed that the new measure we proposed gave better discrimination of sleep stages,especially in the discrimination be-tween sleep and awake,and between sleep stages 3 and 4.
