In this study, nitrogen-doped 4H-SiC samples were bombarded with 167 MeV xenon ions to a fluence of 1?×?108 cm?2 at 300 K prior to the fabrication of Schottky barrier diodes. The implanted samples were annealed at approximately 900 °C for 1 h before the resistive evaporation of nickel Schottky barrier diodes. In comparing the current–voltage results of the implanted devices with as-deposited ones, generation-recombination took place in the implanted Schottky barrier diodes. Four defects (100, 120, 170, and 650 meV) were present in as-deposited Schottky barrier diodes when characterized by deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). In addition to the defects observed in the as-deposited samples, two additional defects with activation energies of 400 and 700 meV below the conduction band minimum were induced by Xe ions implantation. The two deep level defects present have signatures similar to defects present after irradiated by MeV electron. The two defects present after irradiation disappeared after annealing at 400 °C which indicate instability of the defects after annealing implanted samples.
Game playing has been a popular problem area for research in artificial intelligence and machine learning for many years. In almost every study of game playing and machine learning, the focus has been on games with a finite set of states and a finite set of actions. Further, most of this research has focused on a single player or team learning how to play against another player or team that is applying a fixed strategy for playing the game. In this paper, we explore multiagent learning in the context of game playing and develop algorithms for co-learning in which all players attempt to learn their optimal strategies simultaneously. Specifically, we address two approaches to colearning, demonstrating strong performance by a memory-based reinforcement learner and comparable but faster performance with a tree-based reinforcement learner. 相似文献
A technique for obtaining differential interference contrast (DIC) imaging using a confocal microscope system is examined and its features compared to those of existing confocal differential phase contrast (DPC) techniques as well as to conventional Nomarski DIC. A theoretical treatment of DIC imaging is presented, which takes into account the vignetting effect caused by the finite size of the lens pupils. This facilitates the making of quantitative measurements in DIC and allows the user to identify and select the most appropriate system parameters, such as the bias retardation and lateral shear of the Wollaston prism. 相似文献
Many papers have claimed the attainment of super‐resolution, i.e. resolution beyond that achieved classically, by measurement of the profile of a feature in the image. We argue that measurement of the contrast of the image of a dark bar on a bright background does not give a measure of resolution, but of detection sensitivity. The width of a bar that gives an intensity at the center of the bar of 0.735 that in the bright region (the same ratio as in the Rayleigh resolution criterion) is for the coherent case with central illumination. This figure, which compares with for the Abbe resolution limit with central illumination, holds for the classical case, and so is no indication of super‐resolution. Theoretical images for two points, two lines, arrays of lines, arrays of bars, and grating objects are compared. These results can be used a reference for experimental results, to determine if super‐resolution has indeed been attained. The history of the development of the theory of microscope resolution is outlined. 相似文献
"The concept of the city size distribution is criticized for its lack of consideration of the effects of interurban interdependencies on the growth of cities. Theoretical justifications for the rank-size relationship have the same shortcomings, and an empirical study reveals that there is little correlation between deviations from rank-size distributions and national economic and social characteristics. Thus arguments suggesting a close correspondence between city size distributions and the level of development of a country, irrespective of intranational variations in city location and socioeconomic characteristics, seem to have little foundation."

In the paraxial Debye regime, simple and power-efficient pupil filters are designed to break the diffraction limit along a large depth of focus (DOF) for the Gaussian beam. Dependences of the superresolution factor, DOF gain, Strehl ratio, sidelobe strength, and axial intensity nonuniformity on the Gaussian profile in the pupil plane are characterized using the numerical method. Optimal filter designs are proposed for either high-resolution or ultra-large-DOF applications followed by experimental verifications. 相似文献
The present work considers the equilibration kinetics for the O2/TiO2 system and the related chemical diffusion coefficient. It is shown that the equilibration involves two kinetic regimes: Kinetic Regime I (rapid kinetics) and Kinetics Regime II (slow kinetics). The Kinetic Regime I is related to the diffusion of fast defects, including oxygen vacancies and Ti interstitials. The gas/solid equilibrium during routine testing of defect-related properties corresponds to the Kinetic Regime I. The Kinetic Regime II is related to gas/solid reactions that are rate-controlled by all kinds of point defects, including Ti vacancies. Therefore, the kinetic data within the Kinetic Regime II may be used for the imposition of a homogeneous distribution of all defects, while the Kinetic Regime I allows equilibration of only oxygen vacancies and titanium interstitials. The significance of the gas/solid kinetics, that is considered in terms of the chemical diffusion coefficient, in the processing of well-defined TiO2 specimens with controlled nonstoichiometry and the related defect disorder, is outlined. 相似文献
Turbulent burning velocities of iso-octane air mixtures have been measured for expanding flame kernels within a turbulent combustion bomb. High speed schlieren images were used to derive turbulent burning velocity. Turbulent velocity measurements were made at u′ = 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0 m/s, equivalence ratios of 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.4 and pressures of P = 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 MPa. The turbulent burning velocity was found to increase with time and radius from ignition, this was attributed to turbulent flame development. The turbulent burning velocity increased with increasing rms turbulent velocity, and with pressure; although differences were found in the magnitude of this increase for different turbulent velocities. Generally, raising the equivalence ratio resulted in enhanced turbulent burning velocity, excepting measurements made at the lowest turbulent velocity. The results obtained in this study have been compared with those evaluated for a number turbulent burning velocity correlations and the differences are discussed. 相似文献
