The acoustic characteristics of clause, sentence and paragraph boundaries in Chinese Putonghua

The acoustic and perceptive characteristics of discourse units, including clauses, simple sentences, compound sentences and paragraphs, were studied. The acoustic characteristics were based on the analysis of a speech corpus consisted of ten monologues. The Perceived Boundary Strength (PBS) of the monologues was labeled on a five-point scale by 25 participants. The main results are as follows: (1) There is a significant difference in the PBS of clauses (corresponding to intonational phrase), sentences (including simple sentences and compound sentences) and paragraphs. But the PBS of simple sentences and compound sentences is the same, and the pitch reset and pause are also not significantly different between these two kinds of boundaries. (2) The pitch-based cue used to distinguish clauses, sentences and paragraphs appears to be the difference between pre- and post-boundary syllables, but not simply the pitch value of either syllable alone. (3) Declination mainly occurs within intonational phrases, whereas there is no consistent global declination in sentences or in paragraphs. (4) Pauses are longer and more varied at the boundary of larger discourse units. Moreover, there is a significant positive correlation between pause duration and degree of pitch reset at clause boundaries, but not at sentence or paragraph boundaries.     

Scanning tunnelling microscope studies of growth of RuO2（110） thin layer on Ru（0001）

This paper reports that the growth of RuO_x(110) thin layer growth on Ru(0001) has been investigated by means of scanning tunnelling microscope (STM). The STM images showed a domain structure with three rotational domains of RuO_x(110) rotated by an angle of 120℃. The as-grown RuO_x(110) thin layer is expanded from the bulk-truncated RuO_x(110) due to the large mismatch between RuO_x(110) and the Ru(0001) substrate. The results also indicate that growth of RuO_x(110) thin layer on the Ru(0001) substrate by oxidation tends first to formation of the Ru-O (oxygen) chains in the [001] direction of RuO_x(110).     

21世纪最具潜力的新型带隙材料——声子晶体

半导体发展中遇到的极大障碍,使许多研究人员开始研究光子晶体。然而,声子晶体比光子晶体具有更丰富的物理内涵,它是一种新型声学功能带隙材料。研究声子晶体的重要意义在于其广阔的应用前景,而且在研究过程中,还可能发现新现象和新规律,进而促进物理学的发展。一、什么是声子晶体声子晶体的概念诞生于20世纪90年代,是仿照光子晶体的概念而命名的。我们都知道,具有光子禁带的周期性电介质结构功能材料称为光子晶体,光子能量落在光子禁带中的光波将被禁止,不能在光子晶体中传播。通过对光子晶体周期结构及其缺陷进行设计,可以人为地调控光子…     

Advances in micro-perforated panel absorbers

Theoretical and experimental investigations on the performance of micro-perforated -panel absorbers are reviewed in this paper. By reviewing recent research work, this paper reveals a relationship between the maximum absorption coefficient and the limit of the absorption frequency bandwidth. It has been demonstrated that the absorption frequency bandwidth can be extended up to 3 or 4 octaves as the diameters of the micro-holes decrease. This has become possible with the development of the technologies for manufacturing micro-perforated panels, such as laser drilling, powder metallurgy, welded meshing and electro-etching to form micrometer order holes. In this paper, absorption characteristics of such absorbers in random fields and in high sound intensity are discussed both theoretically and experimentally. A new absorbing structure based on micro-perforated-panel absorbers demonstrate experimentally high sound absorption capability. This review shows that the micro-perforated-panel absorber has potentials to be one of ideal absorbing materials in the 21st century.     

ZnAl2O4/α-Al2O3复合衬底的制备和GaN薄膜的生长

利用脉冲激光淀积法(PLD)在α-Al₂O₃衬底上淀积了ZnO薄膜, 通过ZnO和α-Al₂O₃固相反应制备了具有ZnAl₂O₄覆盖层的α-Al₂O₃衬底. X射线衍射谱(XRD)表明ZnAl₂O₄薄膜随反应时间由单一(111)取向转变为多晶取向, 然后变为不完全的(111)择优取向. 同时扫描电子显微镜(SEM)照片表明ZnAl₂O₄表面形貌随反应时间由均匀的岛状结构先变为棒状结构, 然后再变为突起的线状结构. 另外, XRD谱显示低温制备的ZnAl₂O₄在高温下不稳定. 在ZnAl₂O₄覆盖的α-Al₂O₃衬底上利用光加热低压MOCVD法直接生长了GaN薄膜. XRD测量表明随ZnAl₂O₄厚度增加GaN由c轴单晶变为多晶, 单晶GaN的摇摆曲线半高宽为0.4°. 结果表明薄ZnAl₂O₄覆盖层的岛状结构有利于GaN生长初期的成核, 从而提高了GaN的晶体质量.
