Hydrogen as a cause of doping in zinc oxide

Zinc oxide, a wide-band-gap semiconductor with many technological applications, typically exhibits n-type conductivity. The cause of this conductivity has been widely debated. A first-principles investigation, based on density functional theory, produces strong evidence that hydrogen acts as a source of conductivity: it can incorporate in high concentrations and behaves as a shallow donor. This behavior is unexpected and very different from hydrogen's role in other semiconductors, in which it acts only as a compensating center and always counteracts the prevailing conductivity. These insights have important consequences for control and utilization of hydrogen in oxides in general.     

隐函数曲面的实时采样与三角化技术

采用逐步蔓延采样点和三角形的方法，给出了3个算法用于隐函数曲面的采样和三角化，这些算法使得隐函数曲面的重复绘制和控制都能实时进行，其采样方法具有局部适应性，能随着曲率的变化自动控制采样点的疏密程度，从而使得采样点尽量少，但又不至于遗漏表面细节，提出的三角化方法能用于其它散乱数据点的表面重构，它的算法复杂度仅为O(n)。
