The most powerful channel coding schemes, namely, those based on turbo codes and LPDC (Low density parity check) codes have in common principle of iterative decoding. Shannon’s predictions for optimal codes would imply random like codes, intuitively implying that the decoding operation on these codes would be prohibitively complex. A brief comparison of Turbo codes and LDPC codes will be given ...

Electrical, structural and morphological properties of Ni silicide films formed in Ni(Pt 4at.% )/Si(100) and Ni0.6Si0.4(Pt4at.% )/Si(100) structures at various annealing temperatures ranging from 200 to 1000 oC were studied. The Ni(Pt) and Ni0.6Si0.4(Pt) films with thickness of 15 and 25 nm were deposited by RF magnetron co-sputtering method, respectively.  The annealing process of the structur...

Hydrogen-terminated, chlorine-terminated, and alkyl-terminated crystalline Si(111) surfaces have been characterized using high-resolution, soft X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy from a synchrotron radiation source. The H-terminated Si(111) surface displayed a Si 2p(3/2) peak at a binding energy 0.15 eV higher than the bulk Si 2p(3/2) peak. The integrated area of this shifted peak corresponded to...

• Si is the set of (pure) strategies of player i, • S = ∏ i∈N Si is the set of states, • ci : S → R is the cost function of player i ∈ N . In state s ∈ S, player i has a cost of ci(s). We denote by s−i = (s1, ..., si−1, si+1, ..., sn) a state s without the strategy si. This notation allows us to concisely define a unilateral deviation of a player. For i ∈ N , let s ∈ S and si ∈ Si, then (si, s−...

We propose a high mobility superconductor gate nMOSFET using undoped Si as the substrate. We have studied superconducting NbN gate nMOSFETs fabricated on p-type Si, undoped Si and n-type Si substrate, respectively. The nMOSFETs on undoped Si and n-type Si have operated properly at 4.2 K. The transconductance of nMOSFETs on undoped Si substrate is higher than that of nMOSFET on p-type Si. The di...
