Directly extracting both threshold voltage and series resistance from the conductance-voltage curve of an AlGaN/GaN Schottky diode

An Ni/Au Schottky contact on an AlGaN/GaN heterostructure has been prepared. By using the peak-conductance model, the threshold voltage and the series resistance of the AlGaN/GaN diode are simultaneously extracted from the conductance-voltage (G-V) curve and found to be in good agreement with the ones obtained by using the capacitance-voltage (C-V) curve integration and the plot of dV/d(ln I) versus current I. Thus, a method of directly and simultaneously extracting both the threshold voltage and the series resistance from the conductance-voltage curve for the AlGaN/GaN Schottky diode is developed.

基于近红外高光谱技术和特征波谱分析方法的竹类判别研究

竹叶含有丰富的功能性成分,具有良好的抗氧化、调节血脂、抗癌、保护心脑血管等功效,在食品和药品等领域具有较高的应用价值,但不同品种的竹叶其功能性成分差异较大。传统对于竹类品种的鉴别主要是通过观察竹叶大小、纹理、竹枝分枝和竹竿高度等,效率低且错误率较高,因此,快速准确的区分不同品种的竹叶,是竹类资源开发和加工过程中的重要任务之一。采用近红外高光谱(900～1 700 nm)技术对我国不同产地的12种竹叶进行鉴别分析。用主成分分析(PCA)对竹叶进行聚类分析,应用主成分因子中X-loading(XL)和random frog(RF)算法进行特征波段的提取,分别得到6条(931,945,1 217,1 318,1 473和1 653 nm)和12条(1 052,1 140,1 163,1 177,1 180,1 193,1 230,1 241,1 477,1 483,1 629和1 649 nm)特征波段,并基于全波段(238条波长)及采用以上算法所得的特征波段建立最小二乘-支持向量机(LS-SVM)判别分析模型,其识别率分别为99.17%(全波段),95.83%(XL算法),95.83%(RF算法)。最后,采用受试者工作特征曲线(receiver operating characteristic curve, ROC curve)对LS-SVM模型的判别效果进行验证,结果表明,曲线下面积(AUC)均在0.98以上,说明近红外高光谱结合LS-SVM可以很好地实现竹类的鉴别分析,这为竹叶的食用和药用价值的开发利用提供理论参考。     

Numerical simulation of three-dimensional nonlinear water waves

We present an accurate and efficient numerical model for the simulation of fully nonlinear (non-breaking), three-dimensional surface water waves on infinite or finite depth. As an extension of the work of Craig and Sulem [19], the numerical method is based on the reduction of the problem to a lower-dimensional Hamiltonian system involving surface quantities alone. This is accomplished by introducing the Dirichlet–Neumann operator which is described in terms of its Taylor series expansion in homogeneous powers of the surface elevation. Each term in this Taylor series can be computed efficiently using the fast Fourier transform. An important contribution of this paper is the development and implementation of a symplectic implicit scheme for the time integration of the Hamiltonian equations of motion, as well as detailed numerical tests on the convergence of the Dirichlet–Neumann operator. The performance of the model is illustrated by simulating the long-time evolution of two-dimensional steadily progressing waves, as well as the development of three-dimensional (short-crested) nonlinear waves, both in deep and shallow water.     

Improvement and error analysis of quantitative information extraction in diffraction-enhanced imaging

Diffraction-enhanced imaging （DEI） is a powerful phase-sensitive technique that provides higher spatial resolution and supercontrast of weakly absorbing objects than conventional radiography. It derives contrast from the X-ray absorption, refraction, and ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering （USAXS） properties of an object. The separation of different-contrast contributions from images is an important issue for the potential application of DEI. In this paper, an improved DEI （IDEI） method is proposed based on the Gaussian curve fitting of the rocking curve （RC）. Utilizing only three input images, the IDEI method can accurately separate the absorption, refraction, and USAXS contrasts produced by the object. The IDEI method can therefore be viewed as an improvement to the extended DEI （EDEI） method. In contrast, the IDEI method can circumvent the limitations of the EDEI method well since it does not impose a Taylor approximation on the RC. Additionally, analysis of the IDEI model errors is performed to further investigate the factors that lead to the image artifacts, and finally validation studies are conducted using computer simulation and synchrotron experimental data.

Some Analytical Properties of the Model for Stochastic Evolutionary Games in Finite Populations with Non-uniform Interaction Rate

Traditional evolutionary games assume uniform interaction rate, which means that the rate at which individuals meet and interact is independent of their strategies. But in some systems, especially biological systems, the players interact with each other discriminately. Taylor and Nowak (2006) were the first to establish the corresponding non-uniform interaction rate model by allowing the interaction rates to depend on strategies. Their model is based on replicator dynamics which assumes an infinite size population. But in reality, the number of individuals in the population is always finite, and there will be some random interference in the individuals' strategy selection process. Therefore, it is more practical to establish the corresponding stochastic evolutionary model in finite populations. In fact, the analysis of evolutionary games in a finite size population is more difficult. Just as Taylor and Nowak said in the outlook section of their paper, "The analysis of non-uniform interaction rates should be extended to stochastic game dynamics of finite populations." In this paper, we are exactly doing this work. We extend Taylor and Nowak's model from infinite to finite case, especially focusing on the influence of non-uniform connection characteristics on the evolutionary stable state of the system. We model the strategy evolutionary process of the population by a continuous ergodic Markov process. Based on the limit distribution of the process, we can give the evolutionary stable state of the system. We make a complete classification of the symmetric 2×2 games. For each case game, the corresponding limit distribution of the Markov-based process is given when noise intensity is small enough. In contrast with most literatures in evolutionary games using the simulation method, all our results obtained are analytical. Especially, in the dominant-case game, coexistence of the two strategies may become evolutionary stable states in our model. This result can be used to explain the emergence of cooperation in the Prisoner is Dilemma Games to some extent. Some specific examples are given to illustrate our results.     

Experimental bifurcation diagram of a circuit-implemented neuron model

An experimental bifurcation diagram of a circuit implementing an approximation of the Hindmarsh-Rose (HR) neuron model is presented. Measured asymptotic time series of circuit voltages are automatically classified through an ad hoc algorithm. The resulting two-dimensional experimental bifurcation diagram evidences a good match with respect to the numerical results available for both the approximated and original HR model. Moreover, the experimentally obtained current-frequency curve is very similar to that of the original model. The obtained results are both a proof of concept of a quite general method developed in the last few years for the approximation and implementation of nonlinear dynamical systems and a first step towards the realisation in silico of HR neuron networks with tunable parameters.     

Diagnostic technique for measuring fusion reaction rate for inertial confinement fusion experiments at Shen Guang-III prototype laser facility

A study is conducted using a two-dimensional simulation program(Lared-s)with the goal of developing a technique to evaluate the effect of Rayleigh–Taylor growth in a neutron fusion reaction region.Two peaks of fusion reaction rate are simulated by using a two-dimensional simulation program(Lared-s)and confirmed by the experimental results.A neutron temporal diagnostic(NTD)system is developed with a high temporal resolution of~30 ps at the Shen Guang-III(SG-III)prototype laser facility in China,to measure the fusion reaction rate history.With the shape of neutron reaction rate curve and the spherical harmonic function in this paper,the degree of Rayleigh–Taylor growth and the main source of the neutron yield in our experiment can be estimated qualitatively.This technique,including the diagnostic system and the simulation program,may provide important information for obtaining a higher neutron yield in implosion experiments of inertial confinement fusion.     

A three-dimensional Eulerian method for the numerical simulation of high-velocity impact problems

In the present paper, a three-dimensional （3D） Eulerian technique for the 3D numerical simulation of high-velocity impact problems is proposed. In the Eulerian framework, a complete 3D conservation element and solution element scheme for conservative hyperbolic governing equations with source terms is given. A modified ghost fluid method is proposed for the treatment of the boundary conditions. Numerical simulations of the Taylor bar problem and the ricochet phenomenon of a sphere impacting a plate target at an angle of 60~ are carried out. The numerical results are in good agreement with the corresponding experimental observations. It is proved that our computational technique is feasible for analyzing 3D high-velocity impact problems.     

Melting and Grüneisen parameters of NaCl at high pressure

The Buckingham potential has been employed to simulate the melting and thermodynamic parameters of sodium chloride (NaCl) using the molecular dynamics (MD) method. The constant-volume heat capacity and Grüneisen parameters have been obtained in a wide range of temperatures. The calculated thermodynamic parameters are found to be in good agreement with the available experimental data. The NaCl melting simulations appear to validate the interpretation of superheating of the solid in the one-phase MD simulations. The melting curve of NaCl is compared with the experiments and other calculations at pressure 0－30GPa range.     

The dispersion of platinum on silica-correlation of esca and gas adsorption data

For five catalyst samples (Pt supported on silica) prepared by an ion exchange method, a correlation plot of chemisorption data against ESCA Pt/Si signal area ratio was a smooth curve essentially linear at low surface Pt levels but curving at high Pt values. Two samples prepared by an impregnation method were also studied. A line connecting points on the correlation plot for these samples was approximately parallel to but not coincident with the correlation curve obtained for samples prepared by ion exchange. The data strongly support the use of ESCA for measurements of metal particle size (dispersion) in catalyst systems such as these.     

Molecular multipoles and (hyper) polarizabilities from the Buckingham expansion:revisited

The Buckingham expansion is important for understanding molecular multipoles and (hyper) polarizabilities. In this study, we give a complete derivation of the Buckingham expansion in the traced form using successive Taylor series. Based on the derivation results, a general Buckingham expansion in the traced form is proposed, from which highly accurate numerical calculations using the finite field method can be achieved. The transformations from the traced multipoles and multipole-multipole polarizabilities to the corresponding traceless counterparts are realized with an auxiliary traced electric field gradient. The applications of thefinite field method in this study show good agreements with previous theoretical calculations and experimental measurements.

Adaptive variational curve smoothing based on level set method

This paper presents an adaptive method for variational curve smoothing based on level set implementation. A suitable cost functional is minimized via solving the derived Euler–Lagrangian equation, of which the discretization is conducted on unstructured triangular meshes by employing a simple and effective finite volume scheme. Through adaptive refinement of the mesh, the geometry features of the given curve can be well resolved in a cost-effective way. Various numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach.     

Extension of the finite volume particle method to viscous flow

The finite volume particle method (FVPM) is a mesh-free method for fluid dynamics which allows simple and accurate implementation of boundary conditions and retains the conservation and consistency properties of classical finite volume methods. In this article, the FVPM is extended to viscous flows using a consistency-corrected smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) approximation to evaluate velocity gradients. The accuracy of the viscous FVPM is improved by a higher-order discretisation of the inviscid flux combined with a second-order temporal discretisation. The higher-order inviscid FVPM is validated for a 1-D shock tube problem, in which it demonstrates an enhanced shock capturing ability. For two-dimensional simulations, a small arbitrary Lagrange–Euler correction to fully Lagrangian particle motion is beneficial in maintaining a favourable particle distribution over long simulation times. The viscous FVPM is validated for two-dimensional Poiseuille, Taylor–Green and lid-driven cavity flows, and good agreement is achieved with analytic or reference numerical solutions. These results establish the viability of FVPM as a tool for mesh-free simulation of viscous flows in engineering.
