AbstractThis paper is focused on the non-linear resistance behaviours often detected by means of high resolution resistometric methods both at the very beginning of an electromigration (EM) test, and after the high stressing current inducing EM is switched off. It is shown that temperature steps, always present at the beginning or after EM, are the triggering events for different, often reversible, physical phenomena contributing to resistance changes. Precipitation-dissolution of alloyed elements is perhaps the most important one, while other mechanisms, like the combined effect of hydrostatic stress relaxation and void volume change, should cancel out. These effects, however, don't exclude a possible simultaneous effect on the resistance of accumulation/relaxation of EM damage. Experimental results are collected by means of different, complementary techniques.

Pansharpening is the process of fusing a low-resolution multispectral (LRMS) image with a high-resolution panchromatic (PAN) image. In the process of pansharpening, the LRMS image is often directly upsampled by a scale of 4, which may result in the loss of high-frequency details in the fused high-resolution multispectral (HRMS) image. To solve this problem, we put forward a novel progressive cascade deep residual network (PCDRN) with two residual subnetworks for pansharpening. The network adjusts the size of an MS image to the size of a PAN image twice and gradually fuses the LRMS image with the PAN image in a coarse-to-fine manner. To prevent an overly-smooth phenomenon and achieve high-quality fusion results, a multitask loss function is defined to train our network. Furthermore, to eliminate checkerboard artifacts in the fusion results, we employ a resize-convolution approach instead of transposed convolution for upsampling LRMS images. Experimental results on the Pléiades and WorldView-3 datasets prove that PCDRN exhibits superior performance compared to other popular pansharpening methods in terms of quantitative and visual assessments.

AbstractWe report on the role of surface diffusion involved in relaxation of electromigration (EM) induced compressive stresses in relation to hillock growth and EM behavior of interconnects. Two competing mechanisms of EM stress relaxation by material transport onto the surface are considered. The first is hillocking by threshold diffusional creep (TCH), with rather large blocks of material (grains or group of grains) involved in plastic flow. The second mechanism, atomic diffusion hillocking (ADH), is presumed to be a nonthreshold one, and represents atomic grain boundary (GB) diffusion stimulated by the hydrostatic stress gradient in the direction normal to the film surface. The latter process involves surface diffusion because GB diffusional flux onto the surface must be coupled with the flux of redistribution of the atoms over the surface. If ADH acts rapidly, this should prevent the build-up of the matter at the down-wind (anode) end of the stripe, and thus, eliminate the Blech EM threshold resulting from the stress-gradient along the stripe. The question as to whether GB diffusion capable of transporting atoms pushed by electron wind along the stripe is also effective in relieving compressive stress by GB migration of the surplus atoms in the normal direction, has remained open up to now. The problem is especially acute for short or/and narrow lines separated into short polycrystalline segments, where the Blech threshold effects are critical to EM reliability.We derived the main features of the EM behavior in drift velocity test geometry assuming that both TCH and ADH are operative. The result can be compared with available and future experimental observations in order to reveal if and when the ADH mechanism with surface diffusion involved works.

Ship Classification

With the capability to automatically learn discriminative features, deep learning has experienced great success in natural images but has rarely been explored for ship classification in high-resolution SAR images due to the training bottleneck caused by the small datasets. In this paper, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are applied to ship classification by using SAR images with the small datasets. First, ship chips are constructed from high-resolution SAR images and split into training and validation datasets. Second, a ship classification model is constructed based on very deep convolutional networks (VGG). Then, VGG is pretrained via ImageNet, and fine tuning is utilized to train our model. Six scenes of COSMO-SkyMed images are used to evaluate our proposed model with regard to the classification accuracy. The experimental results reveal that (1) our proposed ship classification model trained by fine tuning achieves more than 95% average classification accuracy, even with 5-cross validation; (2) compared with other models, the ship classification model based on VGG16 achieves at least 2% higher accuracies for classification. These experimental results reveal the effectiveness of our proposed method.

Abstract Processes of compaction of granular materials were described using selected models. The analysis of their accuracy on the example of wheat was the basis for the discussion on their applicability to the processing of plant-origin materials. Parameters of the model equations for wheat, compressed at 10-18% moisture content were calculated, and the relations between these parameters and wheat moisture were determined. It was found that the analyzed models described the pressure compaction of granular plant material with different accuracy, and were highly dependent on moisture. The study also indicated that the model of Ferrero et al. fits the experimental results well. The parameters of this model reflected very well the physical phenomena which occur during compression.

A photographic Weissenberg camera has been constructed which can be mounted on the 2θ arm of a four-circle diffractometer. At a distance of 0.5 m from the sample the 2θ resolution for a 100 μm crystal is 0.2 mrad (0.01°), allowing a high-resolution mapping of reciprocal space at a synchrotron source in an efficient way. As sample experimental results, a study is presented of the streak system around the 111 reflection of a perfect germanium crystal and the detection of a minute phase transformation in a single-powder grain of a high-Tc superconductor.

This paper presents a method that utilizes a memristor to replace the non-linear resistance of typical Chua’s circuit for constructing a chaotic system. The improved circuit is numerically simulated in the MATLAB condition, and its hardware implementation is designed using field programmable gate array (FPGA). Comparing the experimental results with the numerical simulation, the two are the very same, and be able to generate chaotic attractor.

Special Case

Yield and fracture criteria for real materials are to a varying degree affected by a state of hydrostatic stress. Some materials, after certain deformation history, exhibit different yield point when the direction of the stress is reversed, a behavior known as the Bauschinger effect. These physical phenomena are not represented by the von Mises criterion. Based on a convexity theorem of matrices, a generalization of the von Mises criterion is presented. The new criterion satisfies the convexity requirement of plasticity theory and, with two scalar functions of deformation history α and β, produces a class of hardening behavior. The current values of α and β account for the effect of hydrostatic stress and an aspect of the Bauschinger effect on yield and fracture. The generalized criterion reduces to the form of the von Mises criterion as a special case.
