Optimizing the chemical vapor deposition process of 4H–SiC epitaxial layer growth with machine-learning-assisted multiphysics simulations

This work addresses a novel technique for selecting the best process parameters for the 4H–SiC epitaxial layer in a horizontal hot-wall chemical vapor reactor using a transient multi-physical (thermal-fluid-chemical) simulation model and combined with a machine-learning model. An experiment was performed to validate the feasibility of the...

Road performance evaluation of prestressed high-strength concrete pile waste powder as alternative filler in asphalt concrete

As a kind of solid waste, using Prestressed High-Strength Concrete Pile Waste Concrete (PPWC) as the replacement for limestone filler in asphalt concrete can not only reduce the accumulation of PPWC and increase its utilization but also avoid the increased road construction costs and environmental degradation associated with limestone mining....

Simulation-to-real generalization for deep-learning-based refraction-corrected ultrasound tomography image reconstruction

Objective. The image reconstruction of ultrasound computed tomography is computationally expensive with conventional iterative methods. The fully learned direct deep learning reconstruction is promising to speed up image reconstruction significantly. However, for direct reconstruction from measurement data, due to the lack of real labeled...

Ultra-low-frequency radio astronomy observations from a Seleno-centric orbit: First results of the Longjiang-2 experiment

This paper introduces the first results of observations with the Ultra-Long-Wavelength (ULW) —- Low Frequency Interferometer and Spectrometer (LFIS) on board the selenocentric satellite Longjiang-2. We present a brief description of the satellite and focus on the LFIS payload. The in-orbit commissioning confirmed a reliable operational status...
