Electromigration (EM) behaviors of pristine Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) and cerium-doped GST (Ce-GST) nano-strips were investigated by the mean-time-to-failure (MTTF) tests under the pulse bias at the conditions of pulse frequency (f) ranging from 1 to 25 MHz and duty cycle ranging from 50% to 80%. Analytical results indicated that, at f greater than 10 MHz, the EM failure of GST nano-strips in pulse bias environment could be depicted by the 'average current model'. With the aid of Black's theory, the activation energies (Ea) of EM process under pulse bias were found to be 0.63 and 0.56 eV for GST and Ce-GST nano-strips, respectively. The Ea values were comparatively smaller than those observed in direct-current MTTF test of GST thin-film samples, implying the enhancement of surface diffusion and skin effect in GST nano-strips. The morphology and composition analyses indicated that the electrostatic and the electron-wind forces might simultaneously involve in the mass transport in GST nano-strips under the test conditions of this study. The composition analysis also revealed that doping could not effectively alleviate the element segregation in GST subjected to electrical bias.

This article presents a procedure to improve the accuracy of calculated stiffness matrix of a structure based on the identified modal parameters from its measured responses. First, a continuous wavelet transform is applied to the measured responses of a structure, and the state-space model can be reconstructed by the wavelet coefficients of acceleration that can be obtained from the measured noisy responses. The modal parameters are identified using the subspace approach. Second, the identified mode shapes are corrected via Gram-Schmidt process. Finally, the identified natural frequencies and the corrected mode shapes in previous steps are utilized to build the stiffness matrix of structure. The accuracy of the proposed approach is numerically confirmed, and the noise effects on the ability to precisely identify the stiffness matrix are also investigated. The measured data of two eight-story steel frames in a shaking table test are analyzed to demonstrate the applicability of the procedure to real structures.

For a time-correlated channel, we consider the differential feedback of the geometrical mean decomposition (GMD) precoder, which is known to be optimal for a number of criteria. When the channel varies slowly, we can expect the optimal GMD precoders of consecutive channel uses to be close. We consider the feedback of the so-called differential precoder and show that it lies in a neighborhood of the identity matrix using matrix perturbation theory. Furthermore, the radius of the neighborhood is shown to be proportional to a time-correlation parameter. Such a characterization allows for subsequent efficient quantization of the differential precoder. We show how to design codewords for the prescribed radius by perturbing the identity matrix and applying QR decomposition on the perturbed matrix. Simulations are given to demonstrate that, with a small feedback rate, the performance of the proposed differential GMD comes close to the case when perfect channel state information is available to the transmitter for slowly time-varying channels like those in indoor and microcellular environments.

專題-秩序與複雜的華爾滋（下）勞倫茲和蝴蝶共同掀起的混沌風暴
(國立交通大學丘成桐中心, 2017-07-15)
陳義裕
一提到混沌，人們第一個想到的可能就是著名的「蝴蝶效應」。但除了得感激科普作家的辛勤筆耕，真正讓蝴蝶效應這個混沌代名詞得以如此流傳、深入人心的，恐怕還是得拜幾部好萊塢電影所賜，其中尤以 1993 年的賣座電影《侏羅紀公園》最為著名。在該部電影中，數學家主角所述蝴蝶效應指的是：北京的一隻蝴蝶隨便搧個翅，結果竟為本來應該是大晴天的紐約帶來豪雨。

High modulation depth, fast (megahertz to gigahertz), intensity-modulated light sources of various wavelengths within the 0.7-1.35 mu m bio-penetration window are highly desirable for many biophotonic diagnosis systems. In this Letter, we present a novel scheme of a wavelength tunable, ultra-broadband light source which simply consists of a pump laser, a nonlinear fiber, and demodulation circuits. The working wavelength range of the light source is from 0.7 to 1.35 mu m which covers a vast part of the bio-penetration window, and its modulation frequencies extends from tens of megahertz to gigahertz. The performances of the proposed light source in either working wavelength range or modulation frequency bandwidth are much superior to any typical laser diodes or solid state lasers currently employed in the frequency-domain or other biophotonic utilization. The wide applicability of this novel light source in diverse biophotonic applications can be observed from our carefully designed diffused optical spectroscopy phantom measurement.
