Chemical depth profiling and 3D reconstruction of III–V heterostructures selectively grown on non‐planar Si substrates by MOCVD

The chemical characterization of novel 3D architectures with nanometre‐scale dimensions is extremely challenging. The chemical composition of InGaAs/AlAs quantum wells selectively grown in SiO₂ trenches, 100–300 nm wide, is studied. Combining high lateral resolution 3D ToF‐SIMS analysis and Auger measurements, the chemical composition of individual trenches was obtained confirming the uniformity of these III–V heterostructures. These results correlate well with an average approach using SIMS depth profiling. The effects of ion beam orientation on the surface topography of confined structures were highlighted.

亮度优化立体视频视觉舒适度评价

结合立体视频帧左右视图的灰度图,采用鲁棒性算法与软剪刀算法相结合的"画笔"方案来提取立体视频帧的前景区域,合成视差图并提取水平视差,计算深度视差;根据主观评价结果建立视差深度-视觉舒适度模型,再结合亮度对视觉舒适度的评价模型进行优化,使模型的评分更接近人类视觉系统的评分;结合人类主观评价实验的结果,用逆向代入法求出模型的系数确定模型,最终实现基于人类视觉系统特性的对立体视频视觉舒适度的评价。实验结果表明:通过视觉舒适度模型计算得到的结果与人类主观评价结果之间的误差率不超过5%,其中大部分视频误差率不超过1%。说明评价模型更符合人类主观感知结果的立体视频视觉舒适度,模型评分更接近人类视觉系统特性的主观实验评分,这为立体视频舒适度的评价提供了参考。     

Progress on accurate measurement of the Planck constant:Watt balance and counting atoms

The Planck constant h is one of the most significant constants in quantum physics.Recently,the precision measurement of the value of h has been a hot issue due to its important role for the establishment of both a new SI and a revised fundamental physical constant system.Up to date,two approaches,the watt balance and counting atoms,have been employed to determine the Planck constant at a level of several parts in 108.In this paper,the principle and progress on precision measurement of the Planck constant using watt balance and counting atoms at national metrology institutes are reviewed.Further improvement in determining the Planck constant and possible developments of a revised physical constant system in future are discussed.     

The electronic band structure analysis of OLED device by means of in situ LEIPS and UPS combined with GCIB

Low-energy inverse photoelectron spectroscopy (LEIPS) and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) incorporated into the multitechnique XPS system were used to probe the ionization potential and the electron affinity of organic materials, respectively. By utilizing gas cluster ion beam (GCIB), in situ analyses and depth profiling of LEIPS and UPS were also demonstrated. The band structures of the 10-nm-thick buckminsterfullerene (C₆₀) thin film on Au (100 nm)/indium tin oxide (100 nm)/glass substrate were successfully evaluated in depth direction.     

Changes in physical features of Glacier No. 1 of the Tianshan Mountains in response to climate change

This study analyzes the changes in glacier zones and snow composition of Glacier No.1 in the Tianshan Mountains of China since 1961,and their possible relations with climate.It is found that precipitation dominated the snow composition and that air temperature and precipitation controlled the distribution of glacier zones,but interannual change in precipitation had a relatively large effect on glacier zones and snow composition during 1963–1981 (P10) and 1963–1989 (P11).However,during 1982–2007 (P20) and 19...

An Edge Server Placement Method Based on Reinforcement Learning

In mobile edge computing systems, the edge server placement problem is mainly tackled as a multi-objective optimization problem and solved with mixed integer programming, heuristic or meta-heuristic algorithms, etc. These methods, however, have profound defect implications such as poor scalability, local optimal solutions, and parameter tuning difficulties. To overcome these defects, we propose a novel edge server placement algorithm based on deep q-network and reinforcement learning, dubbed DQN-ESPA, which can achieve optimal placements without relying on previous placement experience. In DQN-ESPA, the edge server placement problem is modeled as a Markov decision process, which is formalized with the state space, action space and reward function, and it is subsequently solved using a reinforcement learning algorithm. Experimental results using real datasets from Shanghai Telecom show that DQN-ESPA outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms such as simulated annealing placement algorithm (SAPA), Top-K placement algorithm (TKPA), K-Means placement algorithm (KMPA), and random placement algorithm (RPA). In particular, with a comprehensive consideration of access delay and workload balance, DQN-ESPA achieves up to 13.40% and 15.54% better placement performance for 100 and 300 edge servers respectively.     

基于6S模型的遥感影像逐像元大气纠正算法

大气纠正的目的是从遥感影像中去除大气影响,并反演获取地物真实反射率。介绍了一种逐像元对遥感影像进行大气纠正的算法,该算法基于6S(Second Simulation of the Satellite Signal in the Solar Spectrum)大气辐射传输模型计算建立的查找表(look-up table),并利用地面暗目标(dark object)进行陆地气溶胶光学厚度的自动反演,由于气溶胶的分布具有空间连续性,在获取地面暗目标气溶胶光学厚度值后,通过空间插值的方法计算影像中非暗目标像元的气溶胶光学厚度值,经过查找表二次插值计算,逐像元进行大气纠正并获取像元地表反射率值。以Landsat5遥感影像为例,介绍了算法流程,展示了大气纠正的结果。结果显示,利用查找表逐像元大气纠正的算法,能够在一定程度上去除云雾对影像的影响,更加精确的对遥感影像进行大气纠正并获取地物的真实反射率。
