Electronic Structure and Linear Optical Properties of SrCuOCl Studied from the First Principles Calculation
First-principles calculations with the full-potential linearized augmented
plane-wave (FP-LAPW) method have been performed to investigate detailed
electronic and linear optical properties of SrCuOCl, which is
a classical low-dimensional antiferromagnet (AFM) charge transfer ({\it CT})
insulator. Within the local-spin-density approximation (LSDA) plus the on-site
Coulomb interaction (LADA+) added on Cu 3d orbitals, our calculated band
gap and spin moments are well consistent with the experimental and other
theoretical values. The energy dispersion relation agrees well with the angle
resolved photoemission measurements. Its linear optical properties are
calculated within the electric-dipole approximation. The absorption spectrum is
found to agree well with the experimental result.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
Document expansion for image retrieval
Successful information retrieval requires e�ective matching
between the user's search request and the contents of relevant
documents. Often the request entered by a user may
not use the same topic relevant terms as the authors' of the
documents. One potential approach to address problems
of query-document term mismatch is document expansion
to include additional topically relevant indexing terms in a
document which may encourage its retrieval when relevant
to queries which do not match its original contents well. We
propose and evaluate a new document expansion method
using external resources. While results of previous research
have been inconclusive in determining the impact of document
expansion on retrieval e�ectiveness, our method is
shown to work e�ectively for text-based image retrieval of
short image annotation documents. Our approach uses the
Okapi query expansion algorithm as a method for document
expansion. We further show improved performance can be
achieved by using a \document reduction" approach to include
only the signi�cant terms in a document in the expansion
process. Our experiments on the WikipediaMM task at
ImageCLEF 2008 show an increase of 16.5% in mean average
precision (MAP) compared to a variation of Okapi BM25 retrieval
model. To compare document expansion with query
expansion, we also test query expansion from an external resource
which leads an improvement by 9.84% in MAP over
our baseline. Our conclusion is that the document expansion
with document reduction and in combination with query expansion
produces the overall best retrieval results for shortlength
document retrieval. For this image retrieval task, we
also concluded that query expansion from external resource
does not outperform the document expansion method
On the optimality of Kalman Filter for Fault Detection
Kalman filter is widely used for residual generation in fault detection. It
leads to optimality in fault detection using some performance indices and also
leads to statistically sound residual evaluation and threshold setting. This
paper shows that these nice features do not necessarily imply an optimal fault
detection performance. Based on a performance index related to fault detection
rate and false alarm rate, several occasions where Kalman filter should not be
used are pointed out; further the residual evaluation and threshold setting are
discussed, in which it is pointed out that in stochastic setting an optimal
statistical test of Kamlan filter is not related to optimality of commonly used
detection performance indicators. The theoretical analysis is verified through
Monte Carlo simulations
Radial-breathing-like phonon modes of double-walled carbon nanotubes
The radial-breathing-like phonon modes (RBLMs) of the double-walled carbon
nanotubes are studied in a simple analytical model, in which the interaction
force constants (FCs) can be obtained analytically from the continuous model.
The RBLMs frequencies are obtained by solving the dynamical matrix, and their
relationship with the tube radii can be obtained analytically, offering a
powerful experimental tool for determining precisely the radii of the
multi-walled carbon nanotubes
Ferroelectricity of Ice Nanotubes inside Carbon Nanotubes
We report that ice nanotubes with odd number of side faces inside carbon
nanotubes exhibit spontaneous electric polarization along its axes direction by
using molecular dynamics simulations. The mechanism of this nanoscale
quasi-one-dimensional ferroelectricity is due to low dimensional confinement
and the orientational order of hydrogen bonds. These ferroelectric fiber
structural materials are different from traditional perovskite structural bulk
materials.Comment: 4 pages and 4 figure
Single-walled carbon nanotube bundle under hydrostatic pressure studied by the first-principles calculations
The structural, electronic, optical and vibrational properties of the
collapsed (10,10) single-walled carbon nanotube bundle under hydrostatic
pressure have been studied by the first-principles calculations. Some features
are observed in the present study: First, a collapsed structure is found, which
is distinct from both of the herringbone and parallel structures obtained
previously. Secondly, a pseudo-gap induced by the collapse appears along the
symmetry axis \textit{X}. Thirdly, the relative orientation between
the collapsed tubes has an important effect on their electronic, optical and
vibrational properties, which provides an efficient experimental method to
distinguish unambiguously three different collapsed structures.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figure
AutoMM: Energy-Efficient Multi-Data-Type Matrix Multiply Design on Heterogeneous Programmable System-on-Chip
As the increasing complexity of Neural Network(NN) models leads to high
demands for computation, AMD introduces a heterogeneous programmable
system-on-chip (SoC), i.e., Versal ACAP architectures featured with
programmable logic (PL), CPUs, and dedicated AI engines (AIE) ASICs which has a
theoretical throughput up to 6.4 TFLOPs for FP32, 25.6 TOPs for INT16 and 102.4
TOPs for INT8. However, the higher level of complexity makes it non-trivial to
achieve the theoretical performance even for well-studied applications like
matrix-matrix multiply. In this paper, we provide AutoMM, an automatic
white-box framework that can systematically generate the design for MM
accelerators on Versal which achieves 3.7 TFLOPs, 7.5 TOPs, and 28.2 TOPs for
FP32, INT16, and INT8 data type respectively. Our designs are tested on board
and achieve gains of 7.20x (FP32), 3.26x (INT16), 6.23x (INT8) energy
efficiency than AMD U250 FPGA, 2.32x (FP32) than Nvidia Jetson TX2 GPU, 1.06x
(FP32), 1.70x (INT8) than Nvidia A100 GPU
Effect of Cutting Conditions on Machinability of Superalloy Inconel 718 During High Speed Turning with Coated and Uncoated PCBN Tools
Inconel 718, an efficient superalloy for energy and aerospace applications, is currently machined with cemented carbide tools at low speed (vc≈60 m/min) due to its unfavorable mechanical and thermal properties. The article presents results of superalloy machinability study with uncoated and coated PCBN tools aiming on increased speed and efficiency. Aspects of tool life, tool wear and surface integrity were studied. It was found that protective function of the coating, increasing tool life up to 20%, is limited to low cutting speed range. EDX and AFM analyses suggested dominance of chemical and abrasive wear mechanisms. Residual stress analysis has shown advantageous compressive surface stresses
