Article Abstract

We examine the validity of the spherical approximationγs=(2γ2+3γ3)/5in the Luttinger-Kohn Hamiltonian in calculating the subband dispersions of the hole gas. We calculate the realistic hole subband dispersions (without the spherical approximation) in a cylindrical Ge nanowire by using quasi-degenerate perturbation theory. The realistic low-energy hole subband dispersions have a double-well anticrossing structure, that consists with the spherical approximation prediction. However, the realistic subband dispersions are also nanowire growth direction dependent. When the nanowire growth direction is restricted in the (100) crystal plane, the detailed growth direction dependences of the subband parameters are given. We find the spherical approximation is good approximation, it can nicely reproduce the real result in some special growth directions.

Misalignment is among the most frequent mechanical faults in rotating electrical machines, often resulting in partial or complete motor failure over time. To tackle this issue, the present study proposes an innovative methodology for diagnosing misalignment faults in rotating electrical machines. The method integrates the dual-tree complex wavelet transform with a refined composite multiscale fluctuation dispersion entropy algorithm (DTCWT-RCMFDE) for feature extraction, combined with the least-squares support vector machines algorithm (LSSVM) for fault classification.

Recent measurements of the band properties of AlN and GaN by fluorescence yield absorption and soft X-ray emission spectroscopies revealed that their valence band (VB) is composed of two separate subbands. The upper VB subband of GaN is composed of gallium and nitrogen orbitals; the lower subband consists of metal and nitrogen orbitals. These findings were confirmed by extensive ab initio simulations.

Quasi-one-dimensional hole gas is achievable in a semiconductor Ge nanowire. The lowest two subband dispersions of the hole gas are just two shifted parabolic curves with an anticrossing atkz=0. This peculiar low-energy subband structure manifests the existence of a strong 'spin' (pseudo spin)-orbit coupling.

In marine remote sensing, underwater images play an indispensable role in ocean exploration, owing to their richness in information and intuitiveness. However, underwater images often encounter issues such as color shifts, loss of detail, and reduced clarity, leading to the decline of image quality. Therefore, it is critical to study precise and efficient methods for assessing underwater image quality.

Article Synopsis
  • Nonlinear frequency division multiplexing (NFDM) is an advanced optical transmission system that struggles with spectral efficiency due to the guard interval needed to manage chromatic dispersion.
  • The authors propose a novel digital sub-band multiplexed (DSBM) NFDM system that reduces the required guard interval, significantly improving information rates without sacrificing reliability.
  • Their numerical simulations reveal that using root raised cosine shaped subcarriers offers better performance compared to traditional methods, achieving a 129.7% increase in effective information rate and a impressive 531.0 Gbps transmission over 960 km.
