Electrical Characteristics of the GEC Reference Cell with Impedance Matching: A Two-Dimensional PIC/MCC Modeling Study

In this paper, the electrical characteristics of the Gaseous Electronics Conference (GEC) reference cell with impedance matching are investigated through a two-dimensional electrostatic implicit Particle-in-Cell/Monte Carlo Collision (PIC/MCC) model in an axisymmetric coordinate system. The coupling between the complex reactor geometry and the external circuit is included via an equivalent capacitance calculated from the electric energy density. The results of this model are compared with experimental measurements and other model calculations and show good agreement. This simulation obtains the plasma kinetics of the capacitively coupled discharge process at low pressure and detailed external circuit responses, including power transmission, reflection, and higher-order harmonics in the circuit, which provides important insights for impedance-matching design in semiconductor plasma processing.

A machine learning based method to generate random packed isotropic porous media with desired porosity and permeability

Porous materials are used in many fields, including energy industry, agriculture, medical industry, etc. The generation of digital porous media facilitates the fabrication of real porous media and the analysis of their properties. The past random digital porous media generation methods are unable to generate a porous medium with a specific permeability. A new method is proposed in the present study, which can generate the random packed isotropic porous media with specific porosity and permeability. Firstly, the process of generating the random packed isotropic porous media is detailed. Secondly, the permeability of the generated porous media is calculated with the multi-relaxation time (MRT) lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), which is prepared for the training of convolutional neural network (CNN). Thirdly, 3000 samples on the microstructure of porous media and their permeabilities are used to train the CNN model. The trained model is very effective in predicting the permeability of a porous medium. Finally, our method is elaborated and the choice of target permeability in this method is discussed. With the support of a powerful computer, a porous medium that satisfies the error condition of porosity and permeability can be generated in a short time.

Effective Model Integration Algorithm for Improving Link and Sign Prediction in Complex Networks

Link and sign prediction in complex networks bring great help to decision-making and recommender systems, such as in predicting potential relationships or relative status levels. Many previous studies focused on designing the special algorithms to perform either link prediction or sign prediction. In this work, we propose an effective model integration algorithm consisting of network embedding, network feature engineering, and an integrated classifier, which can perform the link and sign prediction in the same framework. Network embedding can accurately represent the characteristics of topological structures and cooperate with the powerful network feature engineering and integrated classifier can achieve better prediction. Experiments on several datasets show that the proposed model can achieve state-of-the-art or competitive performance for both link and sign prediction in spite of its generality. Interestingly, we find that using only very low network embedding dimension can generate high prediction performance, which can significantly reduce the computational overhead during training and prediction. This study offers a powerful methodology for multi-task prediction in complex networks.
