Crystal and Electronic Structure of GaTaSe From First-Principle Calculations
GaTaSe belongs to the lacunar spinel family. Its crystal structures
is still a puzzle though there have been intensive studies on its novel
properties, such as the Mott insulator phase and superconductivity under
pressure. In this work, we investigate its phonon spectra through
first-principle calculations and proposed it most probably has crystal
structure phase transition, which is consistent with several experimental
observations. For the prototype lacunar spinel with cubic symmetry of space
group , its phonon spectra have three soft modes in the whole
Brillouin zone, indicating the strong dynamical instability of such crystal
structure. In order to find the dynamically stable crystal structure, further
calculations indicate two new structures of GaTaSe, corresponding to
and , verifying that at the ambient pressure, there does
exist structure phase transition of GaTaSe from to other
structures when the temperature is lowered. We also performed electronic
structure calculation for and structure, showing that
structure GaTaSe is band insulator, and obtained Mott
insulator state for structure by DMFT calculation under single-band
Hubbard model picture when interaction parameter U is larger than 0.40 eV vs.
band width of 0.25 eV. It is reasonable to assume that while lowering the
temperature, structure GaTaSe becomes structure
GaTaSe first, then structure GaTaSe, because
of the symmetry of is lower than after Jahn-Teller
distortion. The structure transition may explain the magnetic susceptibility
anomalous at low temperature
Knowledge mapping of the research on lexical inferencing: A bibliometric analysis
Lexical inferencing functions as one of the most important and effective skills used in language comprehension pertaining to psychological, cognitive and neurological aspects. Given its complex nature and crucial role in language comprehension, lexical inferencing has received considerable attention. The present study visualized the knowledge domain of the research on lexical inferencing based on a total of 472 articles collected from Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection of Thomson Reuters from 2001 to 2021. The bibliographic data were analyzed through co-cited articles, co-citation clusters of references, and co-occurring keywords to identify holistic intellectual landscape of lexical inferencing with special focus on its intellectual structure and base, and hot research topics. The main intellectual base includes probability of activating lexical inferencing in working memory and encoding in long-term memory, the role of lexical inferencing in reading comprehension, in connected speech, in children’s derivation under pragmatic context, and in psychological and neurocognitive processes underlying language processing mechanism. Hot topics are comprised the impacts of lexical inferencing on language acquisition and comprehension (written and spoken language comprehension), the factors (context variables, vocabulary knowledge, and morphological awareness) affecting the presence and efficacy of lexical inferencing, and the time course of lexical inferencing during reading. Critically, the results of this study demonstrated that the contribution of lexical inferencing to language comprehension was strongly correlated with learner-related and discourse-related variables. The study shed valuable light on the understanding of the intellectual background and the dynamic patterns of lexical inferencing over the past two decades, thereby future work in lexical inferencing is suggested as well
Prolonged mixed phase induced by high pressure in MnRuP
Hexagonally structured MnRuP was studied under high pressure up to 35 GPa
from 5 to 300 K using synchrotron X-ray diffraction. We observed that a partial
phase transition from hexagonal to orthorhombic symmetry started at 11 GPa. The
new and denser orthorhombic phase coexisted with its parent phase for an
unusually long pressure range, {\Delta}P ~ 50 GPa. We attribute this structural
transformation to a magnetic origin, where a decisive criterion for the
boundary of the mixed phase lays in the different distances between the Mn-Mn
atoms. In addition, our theoretical study shows that the orthorhombic phase of
MnRuP remains steady even at very high pressures up to ~ 250 GPa, when it
should transform to a new tetragonal phase.Comment: 15 pages, 5 figures, supplementary materia
Deep Learning based 3D Segmentation: A Survey
3D object segmentation is a fundamental and challenging problem in computer
vision with applications in autonomous driving, robotics, augmented reality and
medical image analysis. It has received significant attention from the computer
vision, graphics and machine learning communities. Traditionally, 3D
segmentation was performed with hand-crafted features and engineered methods
which failed to achieve acceptable accuracy and could not generalize to
large-scale data. Driven by their great success in 2D computer vision, deep
learning techniques have recently become the tool of choice for 3D segmentation
tasks as well. This has led to an influx of a large number of methods in the
literature that have been evaluated on different benchmark datasets. This paper
provides a comprehensive survey of recent progress in deep learning based 3D
segmentation covering over 150 papers. It summarizes the most commonly used
pipelines, discusses their highlights and shortcomings, and analyzes the
competitive results of these segmentation methods. Based on the analysis, it
also provides promising research directions for the future.Comment: Under review of ACM Computing Surveys, 36 pages, 10 tables, 9 figure
