Re-GAN：残差生成式对抗网络算法

目的 生成式对抗网络（generative adversarial network,GAN）是一种无监督生成模型,通过生成模型和判别模型的博弈学习生成图像。GAN的生成模型是逐级直接生成图像,下级网络无法得知上级网络学习的特征,以至于生成的图像多样性不够丰富。另外,随着网络层数的增加,参数变多,反向传播变得困难,出现训练不稳定和梯度消失等问题。针对上述问题,基于残差网络（residual network,ResNet）和组标准化（group normalization,GN）,提出了一种残差生成式对抗网络（residual generative adversarial networks,Re-GAN）。方法 Re-GAN在生成模型中构建深度残差网络模块,通过跳连接的方式融合上级网络学习的特征,增强生成图像的多样性和质量,改善反向传播过程,增强生成式对抗网络的训练稳定性,缓解梯度消失。随后采用组标准化（GN）来适应不同批次的学习,使训练过程更加稳定。结果 在Cifar10、CelebA和LSUN数据集上对算法的性能进行测试。Re-GAN的IS （inception score）均值在批次为64时,比DCGAN （deep convolutional GAN）和WGAN （Wasserstein-GAN）分别提高了5%和30%,在批次为4时,比DCGAN和WGAN分别提高了0.2%和13%,表明无论批次大小,Re-GAN生成图像具有很好的多样性。Re-GAN的FID （Fréchet inception distance）在批次为64时比DCGAN和WGAN分别降低了18%和11%,在批次为4时比DCGAN和WGAN分别降低了4%和10%,表明Re-GAN生成图像的质量更好。同时,Re-GAN缓解了训练过程中出现的训练不稳定和梯度消失等问题。结论 实验结果表明,在图像生成方面,Re-GAN的生成图像质量高、多样性强;在网络训练方面,Re-GAN在不同批次下的训练具有更好的兼容性,使训练过程更加稳定,梯度消失得到缓解。

Effects of annealing processes on Cu<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript>Si<Subscript>1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript> thin films

The Cu _x Si_1-x thin films have been grown by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) with in situ annealing on Si (001) and Si (111), respectively. The transformation of phase was detected by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the as-deposited films were composed of Cu on both Si (001) and Si (111). The annealed thin films consisted of Cu + η”-Cu₃Si on Si (001) while Cu + η’-Cu₃Si on Si (111), respectively, at annealed temperature (T _a) = 300-600 °C. With the further increasing of T _a, at T _a= 700 °C, there was only one main phase, η”-Cu₃Si on Si (001) while η’-Cu₃Si on Si (111), respectively. The annealed thin films transformed from continuous dense structure to scattered-grain morphology with increasing T _a detected by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). It was also showed that the grain size would enlarge with increasing annealing time (t _a).     

Morphology study of oriented SmBCO film deposited by MOCVD

c-axis-oriented SmBa_2Cu_3O_7(SmBCO) films have been deposited on(100)- LaA1O_3(LAO)substrate by metal organic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD) technique.The effects of deposition temperature(T_(dep)) and total pressure(P_(tot)) on the orientation and microstructure of SmBCO films were investigated.The orientation of SmBCO films transformed from α-axis to c-axis with increasing of T_(dep) from 900 to 1 100℃.At T_(dep)=1 050℃,SmBCO films had c-axis orientation and tetragon surface.At P_(tot)~(dep)=400-800 Pa and T_(dep)=1 050 ℃,totally c-axis-oriented SmBCO films were obtained.The R_(dep) of SmBCO films increased firstly and then decreased with increasing P_(tot).The surface of SmBCO films exhibited tetragon morphology at 1 050 ℃ and400 Pa.Maximum thickness of SmBCO film deposited was 1.2μm at P_(tot)= 600 Pa,and the corresponding R_(dep)was 7.2 μm·h~(-1).     

An analytic study on the deflection of subway tunnel due to adjacent excavation of foundation pit

Predicting and estimating the response of subway tunnel to adjacent excavation of foundation pit is a research focus in the field of underground engineering. Based on the principle of two-stage method and incremental method, an analytic approach is suggested in this paper to solve this problem in an accurate and rapid way, and the upheavals of tunnel due to adjacent excavation are solved by analytic method. Besides, the presented method is used in the practical engineering case of Shenzhen Metro Line 11 and verified by numerical simulation and in situ measurement. Finally, a parametric analysis is performed to investigate the influence of different factors on tunnel’s deflection. Some useful conclusions have been drawn from the research as below: The deflection results of tunnel obtained from analytic method are nearly consistent with the results getting from numerical analysis and measured data, which verified the accuracy and rationality of presented method. The excavation size has a significant impact on both the displacement values and influenced range of tunnel. However, the relative distance only impacts the displacement values of tunnel, but not the influenced range of tunnel. It may provide certain reference to analyze the deflection of subway tunnel influenced by adjacent excavation.

     

Annealing effects on the structure and hardness of helium-irradiated Cr2AlC thin films

Cr₂AlC MAX phase thin films prepared by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering were irradiated at room temperature by 100 keV helium ions to a fluence of 1 × 10¹⁷ ions cm⁻². The effects of thermal annealing on the structural and mechanical properties of the helium-irradiated Cr₂AlC films as well as the helium release were investigated by grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD), Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) in combination with nano-indentation and elastic recoil detection (ERD) analysis. The irradiation-induced structural damage in the Cr₂AlC is significantly recovered by thermal annealing at temperatures around 600℃, attributed to high defect diffusivity. After annealing to 750℃, the hardness of irradiated films recovered almost completely, which is ascribes to both defect recombination and reformation of damaged chemical bonds. Substantial helium release occurring at this annealing temperature is closely related to the damage recovery due to helium irradiation.     

Theoretical study on composition-dependent properties of ZnO·nAl2O3 spinels. Part II: Mechanical and thermophysical

Knowledge on the mechanical and thermophysical properties of ZnO·nAl₂O₃ is essential for practical applications. Based on the first-principles calculations and the bond valence method, the disordered spinel-type structure of ZnO·nAl₂O₃ (n = 1–4) was constructed to investigate the composition-dependent mechanical and thermophysical properties. The effects of cation substitution on the hardness, elastic modulus, thermal expansion, and thermal conductivity were revealed from the insights into the chemical bonds. At a higher n, the tetrahedral bond is stronger, manifested as its higher hardness and bulk modulus as well as smaller thermal expansion coefficient. Meanwhile, the octahedral bond is weaker, leading to the lower hardness and bulk modulus, along with the larger expansion coefficient. In consequence, the hardness and elastic moduli of ZnO·nAl₂O₃ are improved moderately while the expansion coefficient is decreased with the rise of n. Due to the different vibration characteristics of Zn^IV and Al^IV, the cation disorder in the 8a site provides the primary source of phonon scattering, resulting in the dramatic reduction of thermal conductivity as n increases. The understanding offers guidance on the application-oriented design of new oxide spinels.
