Uniform Amorphization of Crystalline Silicon Surfaces Enabled by Deep Ultraviolet Femtosecond Laser Pulses

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Deep‐UV (258 nm) femtosecond pulses enable uniform amorphous silicon writing on Si(100)/(111) with a six‐fold larger fluence amorphization window than NIR methods. Optimized fluence and overlap yield 20–45 nm uniform and continuous amorphous layers. Microscopy shows sharp interfaces, and real‐time reflectivity reveals nanosecond melt–resolidification ...

Noisy Information, Interest Rate Shocks and the Great Moderation [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper we quantitatively evaluate the hypothesis that the Great Moderation is partly the result of a less activist monetary policy. We simulate a New Keynesian model where the central bank can only observe a noisy estimate of the output gap and ...

Controlling Grain Growth in Powder Bed Fusion of Yttria‐Stabilized Zirconia Using Femtosecond Lasers: Challenges and Methodological Insights

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Binder‐free laser powder bed fusion of 8YSZ with a femtosecond laser is used to map process windows linking scan strategy, heat accumulation, and grain growth. Time‐resolved thermography and simulations reveal thermal regimes that enable continuous, vitrified, and fine‐grained 8YSZ surface layers without absorptive additives and demonstrate ...

Adiabatic preparation of thermal states and entropy-noise relation on noisy quantum computers

open access: yesnpj Quantum Information
We consider the problem of preparing thermal equilibrium states at finite temperature on quantum computers. Assuming thermalization, we show that states that are locally at thermal equilibrium can be prepared by evolving adiabatically an initial thermal ...

Efficient Bayesian Detection of Faint Curved Edges in Noisy Images

open access: yesIEEE Access
Detecting edges in images is a fundamental problem in computer vision with many applications. Many edge detection algorithms have been proposed over the past several decades. These algorithms can deal effectively with the problem, but often face difficulties when applied to images taken under poor visual conditions of faint edges and noisy backgrounds.

Bilateral J-Curve Between Thailand and Her Trading Partners [PDF]

open access: yes
Previous studies that tested the J-Curve phenomenon, employed aggregate trade data. More recent studies however, have used bilateral data in testing the phenomenon. They have all concentrated investigating the J-Curve between the U.S.

Simulation‐Based Analysis of Insert Pull‐Out in Nickel‐Polyurethane Hybrid Foams Using CT‐Derived Geometries

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
CT‐based finite element simulations combined with in situ X‐ray computed tomography are used to analyze insert pull‐out in nickel‐coated polymer foams. Despite variations in material parameters, deformation consistently concentrates within a narrow annular region around the insert.

An efficient elliptic curve-based deterministic measurement matrix for micro-seismic data acquisition.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
Micro-seismic monitoring plays a critical role in geological disaster prediction. Current compressed sensing approaches for micro-seismic data acquisition, however, are hampered by measurement matrices with high computational complexity and inadequate ...
