Thermal And Mechanical Analysis of High-power Light-emitting Diodes with Ceramic Packages
In this paper we present the thermal and mechanical analysis of high-power
light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with ceramic packages. Transient thermal
measurements and thermo-mechanical simulation were performed to study the
thermal and mechanical characteristics of ceramic packages. Thermal resistance
from the junction to the ambient was decreased from 76.1 oC/W to 45.3 oC/W by
replacing plastic mould to ceramic mould for LED packages. Higher level of
thermo-mechanical stresses in the chip were found for LEDs with ceramic
packages despite of less mismatching coefficients of thermal expansion
comparing with plastic packages. The results suggest that the thermal
performance of LEDs can be improved by using ceramic packages, but the mounting
process of the high power LEDs with ceramic packages is critically important
and should be in charge of delaminating interface layers in the packages.Comment: Submitted on behalf of TIMA Editions

Determinant representations of scalar products for the open XXZ chain with non-diagonal boundary terms
With the help of the F-basis provided by the Drinfeld twist or factorizing
F-matrix for the open XXZ spin chain with non-diagonal boundary terms, we
obtain the determinant representations of the scalar products of Bethe states
of the model.Comment: Latex file, 28 pages, based on the talk given by W. -L. Yang at

ASAP : towards accurate, stable and accelerative penetrating-rank estimation on large graphs
Pervasive web applications increasingly require a measure of similarity among objects. Penetrating-Rank (P-Rank) has been one of the promising link-based similarity metrics as it provides a comprehensive way of jointly encoding both incoming and outgoing links into computation for emerging applications. In this paper, we investigate P-Rank efficiency problem that encompasses its accuracy, stability and computational time. (1) We provide an accuracy estimate for iteratively computing P-Rank. A symmetric problem is to find the iteration number K needed for achieving a given accuracy ε. (2) We also analyze the stability of P-Rank, by showing that small choices of the damping factors would make P-Rank more stable and well-conditioned. (3) For undirected graphs, we also explicitly characterize the P-Rank solution in terms of matrices. This results in a novel non-iterative algorithm, termed ASAP , for efficiently computing P-Rank, which improves the CPU time from O(n 4) to O( n 3 ). Using real and synthetic data, we empirically verify the effectiveness and efficiency of our approaches
Raman spectroscopic determination of the length, strength, compressibility, Debye temperature, elasticity, and force constant of the C-C bond in graphene
From the perspective of bond relaxation and vibration, we have reconciled the
Raman shifts of graphene under the stimuli of the number-of-layer,
uni-axial-strain, pressure, and temperature in terms of the response of the
length and strength of the representative bond of the entire specimen to the
applied stimuli. Theoretical unification of the measurements clarifies that:
(i) the opposite trends of Raman shifts due to number-of-layer reduction
indicate that the G-peak shift is dominated by the vibration of a pair of atoms
while the D- and the 2D-peak shifts involves z-neighbor of a specific atom;
(ii) the tensile strain-induced phonon softening and phonon-band splitting
arise from the asymmetric response of the C3v bond geometry to the C2v
uni-axial bond elongation; (iii) the thermal-softening of the phonons
originates from bond expansion and weakening; and (iv) the pressure- stiffening
of the phonons results from bond compression and work hardening. Reproduction
of the measurements has led to quantitative information about the referential
frequencies from which the Raman frequencies shift, the length, energy, force
constant, Debye temperature, compressibility, elastic modulus of the C-C bond
in graphene, which is of instrumental importance to the understanding of the
unusual behavior of graphene
