Low threshold voltage,highly stable electroforming-free threshold switching characteristics in VOx films-based device

Threshold switching (TS) devices have evolved as one of the most promising elements in memory circuit due to their important significance in suppressing crosstalk current in the crisscross array structure. However, the issue of high threshold voltage (V_th) and low stability still restricts their potential applications. Herein, the vanadium oxide (VO_x) films deposited by the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method are adopted as the switching layer to construct the TS devices. The TS devices with Pt/VO_x/Pt/PI structure exhibit non-polar, electroforming-free, and volatile TS characteristics with an ultralow V_th (+0.48 V/−0.48 V). Besides that, the TS devices also demonstrates high stability, without obviously performance degradations after 350 cycles of endurance measurements. Additionally, the transition mechanism is mainly attributed to the synergistic effect of metal-insulator transition of VO₂ and oxygen vacancies. Furthermore, the nonvolatile bipolar resistance switching behaviors can be obtained by changing oxygen pressure during the deposition process for switching films. This work demonstrates that vanadium oxide film is a good candidate as switching layer for applications in the TS devices and opens an avenue for future electronics.     

Optical properties of transparent polycrystalline ruby (Cr:Al2O3) fabricated by high-pressure spark plasma sintering

Doped transparent ceramics with high optical quality can serve as materials for photonic applications such as laser gain media. In that regard, transparent polycrystalline alumina has potential for high-power applications due to its excellent physical and chemical properties, combined with unique doping possibilities. However, optical birefringence of Al₂O₃ crystals make achieving sufficiently high optical transmittance a processing challenge. In the present study, we demonstrated fabrication of highly transparent 0.5 at.% Cr:Al₂O₃ ceramics by high-pressure spark plasma sintering (HPSPS). The optical properties of these polycrystalline ruby ceramics were analyzed in order to assess possible laser operation (at 694.3 nm). The obtained ceramics exhibit high in-line transmittance (～72.5 % at 700 nm), equivalent to a scattering coefficient of 2.15 cm^?1, and characteristic ruby photoluminescence. The theoretically estimated lasing threshold and percentage of absorbed pump power indicate that such ruby ceramic lasers could operate at reasonable thresholds of 80?225 mW with short lengths of 0.5?5 mm. Thus, HPSPS is a promising method for producing laser-quality doped transparent ceramics for compact laser systems.     

Noncentrosymmetric Tetrel Pnictides RuSi4P4 and IrSi3P3: Nonlinear Optical Materials with Outstanding Laser Damage Threshold

Noncentrosymmetric (NCS) tetrel pnictides have recently generated interest as nonlinear optical (NLO) materials due to their second harmonic generation (SHG) activity and large laser damage threshold (LDT). Herein nonmetal-rich silicon phosphides RuSi₄P₄ and IrSi₃P₃ are synthesized and characterized. Their crystal structures are reinvestigated using single crystal X-ray diffraction and ²⁹Si and ³¹P magic angle spinning NMR. In agreement with previous report RuSi₄P₄ crystallizes in NCS space group P1, while IrSi₃P₃ is found to crystallize in NCS space group Cm, in contrast with the previously reported space group C2. A combination of DFT calculations and diffuse reflectance measurements reveals RuSi₄P₄ and IrSi₃P₃ to be wide bandgap (E_g) semiconductors, E_g = 1.9 and 1.8 eV, respectively. RuSi₄P₄ and IrSi₃P₃ outperform the current state-of-the-art infrared SHG material, AgGaS₂, both in SHG activity and laser inducer damage threshold. Due to the combination of high thermal stabilities (up to 1373 K), wide bandgaps (≈2 eV), NCS crystal structures, strong SHG responses, and large LDT values, RuSi₄P₄ and IrSi₃P₃ are promising candidates for longer wavelength NLO materials.     

基于Shearlet变换的自适应地震资料随机噪声压制

传统的阈值选取方法是对所有变换域系数使用统一阈值，但对Shearlet变换而言，各尺度、各方向的有效信号和噪声均存在差异，因此全局硬阈值存在一定局限性；局部阈值可根据一定范围内的系数分布情况确定。针对地震数据去噪过程中传统阈值选取方法的局限性，通过改进自适应阈值函数压制随机噪声，在局部阈值的基础上改进贝叶斯阈值，形成一种适用于Shearlet变换的自适应阈值函数。具体做法为：将信噪比与阈值函数有机关联，并将信噪比作为阈值设定的因素，即不同的信噪比的权值系数不同，可以自适应求取不同尺度阈值，从而最大限度地改善去噪效果，避免有效信号损失，实现自适应去噪。模型试算与实际资料去噪效果表明，在保证有效信号不受损失的情况下，所提方法可恢复被噪声掩盖的弱信号，有效改善去噪效果。     

A New NTRU-Type Public-Key Cryptosystem over the Binary Field

As the development of cloud computing and the convenience of wireless sensor netowrks, smart devices are widely used in daily life, but the security issues of the smart devices have not been well resolved. In this paper, we present a new NTRU-type public-key cryptosystem over the binary field. Specifically, the security of our scheme relies on the computational intractability of an unbalanced sparse polynomial ratio problem (DUSPR). Through theoretical analysis, we prove the correctness of our proposed cryptosystem. Furthermore, we implement our scheme using the NTL library, and conduct a group of experiments to evaluate the capabilities and consuming time of encryption and decryption. Our experiments result demonstrates that the NTRU-type public-key cryptosystem over the binary field is relatively practical and effective.     

相似系数阈值滤波的数据驱动控制束偏移

高斯束偏移不仅具有接近波动方程偏移的精度，而且具有Kirchhoff偏移灵活、高效的特点。然而当实际地震采集数据中含有较强噪声时，易产生偏移假象而影响成像质量。为此，在传统高斯束偏移的基础上，根据有效信号和干扰信号在τ-p域中的相干性差异，发展了一种基于相似系数阈值滤波的数据驱动控制束偏移方法。采用数据驱动策略，在高斯束偏移成像过程中，先计算τ-p道集的相似系数，再通过设定相似系数阈值控制干扰信号，从而降低偏移剖面中的随机噪声；控制束偏移可以直接提取角度域共成像点道集，无需复杂的角度映射变换且具有更高信噪比。模型测试及实际资料处理结果表明：对于低信噪比数据，控制束偏移剖面的信噪比明显高于常规高斯束偏移，但会损失相对振幅的可靠性；尽管控制束偏移在τ-p道集的滤波过程增加了一定的计算量，但总体与常规高斯束偏移方法的计算效率相当；相似系数阈值参数选取十分关键，阈值较小时偏移噪声较强，但过大阈值也可能压制部分有效信息或产生偏移假象，选取合适的阈值参数才能得到较理想的偏移剖面。     

加权信息熵与增强局部二值模式结合的人脸识别

针对人脸识别因光照、姿态、表情、遮挡及噪声等多种因素的影响而导致的识别率不高的问题，提出一种加权信息熵（IEw）与自适应阈值环形局部二值模式（ATRLBP）算子相结合的人脸识别方法（IE （w） ATR-LBP）。首先，从原始人脸图像分块提取信息熵，得到每个子块的IEw；然后，利用ATRLBP算子分别对每个人脸子块提取特征从而得到概率直方图；最后，将各个块的IEw与概率直方图相乘，再串联成为原始人脸图像最后的特征直方图，并利用支持向量机（SVM）对人脸进行识别。在AR人脸库的表情、光照、遮挡A和遮挡B四个数据集上，IE （w） ATR-LBP方法分别取得了98.37%、94.17%、98.20%和99.34%的识别率。在ORL人脸库上，IE （w） ATR-LBP方法的最大识别率为99.85%；而且在ORL人脸库5次不同训练样本的实验中，与无噪声时相比，加入高斯和椒盐噪声后的平均识别率分别下降了14.04和2.95个百分点。实验结果表明，IE （w） ATR-LBP方法能够有效提高人脸在受光照、姿态、遮挡等影响时的识别率，尤其是存在表情变化及脉冲类噪声干扰时的识别率。
