Quantum well shape modification using vacancy generation and rapid thermal annealing

The effect of rapid thermal annealing (RTA) on the shapes of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells (QWs) has been investigated by monitoring exciton energies using low temperature photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation spectroscopies. After RTA, large changes in exciton energies were observed only in regions of the samples in which excess surface vacancies were generated, either by capping with a thin layer of SiO₂ or by low-energy ion implantation. These changes were interpreted as resulting from modifications of the shapes of the as-grown QWs from abrupt or square to gradual (rounded) due to enhanced interdiffusion of well/barrier atoms. For single QWs there was an increase in exciton energy whose magnitude depended on the width of the well, its distance from the surface of the wafer, the annealing temperature and the total number of surface vacancies available. From studies of coupled QWs, there was clear evidence of asymmetry in the heterostructure after RTA. Although both techniques of vacancy generation yield substantial QW shape modifications, the ion implantation technique has the advantages of being highly reproducible and of being compatible with any material system.     

Picosecond optoelectronic switching in CdS0.5Se0.5

So far only few materials have been investigated for their application in fast opto-electronic switching. These materials are Si, GaAs and InP. The difficulty in obtaining a high resistivity specimen of group IV elemental semiconductors puts constraints on their high power handling capability. Most of the group III–V compounds have the possibility of showing up of Gunn effect at high fields, which has undesirable effect in high voltage switching. We have, therefore, investigated a mixed II–VI compound CdS_0.5Se_0.5 for its potential use as an opto-electronic switch.     

Learning Visible Thermal Person Re-Identification via Spatial Dependence and Dual-Constraint Loss

Visible thermal person re-identification (VT Re-ID) is the task of matching pedestrian images collected by thermal and visible light cameras. The two main challenges presented by VT Re-ID are the intra-class variation between pedestrian images and the cross-modality difference between visible and thermal images. Existing works have principally focused on local representation through cross-modality feature distribution, but ignore the internal connection of the local features of pedestrian body parts. Therefore, this paper proposes a dual-path attention network model to establish the spatial dependency relationship between the local features of the pedestrian feature map and to effectively enhance the feature extraction. Meanwhile, we propose cross-modality dual-constraint loss, which adds the center and boundary constraints for each class distribution in the embedding space to promote compactness within the class and enhance the separability between classes. Our experimental results show that our proposed approach has advantages over the state-of-the-art methods on the two public datasets SYSU-MM01 and RegDB. The result for the SYSU-MM01 is Rank-1/mAP 57.74%/54.35%, and the result for the RegDB is Rank-1/mAP 76.07%/69.43%.     

Pressure effect on emission spectra and crystal field for La OBr : Eu

Abstract

The emission spectra for LaOBr : Eu were measured at pressures up to 13 GPa and room temperature. The pressure dependences of levels of ⁷F_0,1,2,3,4 and ⁵D_0,1,2 are given. The crystal field parameters B^k _q were computed by fitting the experimental levels. The strength of crystal field decreases with increasing pressure. A brief discussion on the observed phenomena is presented.     

Phase transition of samarium under high pressure

Abstract

The DAC X-ray power photograph method was employed for studing the phase transition of samarium up to 26.3 GPa. The experimental results show that the dhcp and fcc high pressure phase of Sm appeared at about 4.0 and 12.5 GPa and room temperature respectively. The dhcp phase was kept until 19.6 GPa. A model for Sm-type -? dhcp -? fcc phase transition is provided in this paper.     

Structure of dichlorine monoxide as studied by microwave spectroscopy. Determination of equilibrium structure by a modified mass dependence method

The microwave spectra of four isotopic species of dichlorine monoxide (OCl₂) have been observed, and the rotational constants have been obtained. The r_m structure for each isotopic species has been determined by Watson's method. The equilibrium structure has been estimated by taking proper averages of r_m structures to be $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{(OCl) = 1.69587(7)}\text{A}\text{?}$ and ∠_eClOCl = 110.886(6)°. The general applicability and the merit of the present method for estimating the equilibrium structure are pointed out.     

On using lens-assisted hologram interferometry to investigate semiconductor device behaviour

The paper analyses some of the causes that limit the performance of the hologram interferometry method when used for the study of the behaviour of semiconductors devices. Then some results are shown obtained by the authors using a method of lens-assisted microscope hologram interferometry for studying such structures. The method allows detection of defects and, besides, it renders quantitatively the structure local non-uniformities during the normal operation of the semiconductor devices.
