Influence Applied Potential on the Formation of Self-Organized ZnO Nanorod Film and Its Photoelectrochemical Response by Nur Azimah Abd Samad, Chin Wei Lai, Sharifah Bee Abd Hamid

“…Interestingly, low applied potentials of 1 V during electrochemical deposition produced a high aspect ratio and density of self-organized ZnO nanorod distribution on the Zn substrate with an average diameter and length of ~37.9 nm and ~249.5 nm, respectively. Therefore, it exhibited a high photocurrent density that reached 17.8 mA/cm2 under ultraviolet illumination and 12.94 mA/cm2 under visible illumination. …”

Quasi-cyclic extension based on PEG algorithm for construction of LDPC codes by LEI Jing1, WANG Jian-hui1, TANG Chao-jing1

“…Several important relations between the cycle structure on the Tanner graph and the parity-check matrix H of LDPC codes were proved.A new algorithm for constructing LDPC codes was proposed that introduced quasi-cyclic ex-tension method to PEG algorithm.After a basic matrix was constructed with PEG algorithm,circulant permutation ma-trices would replace the "1"s in the basic matrix.The new method could eliminate effectively the short cycles in the basic matrix without changing the degree distribution fraction of the basic matrix.Simulations show that the quasi-cyclic extended codes based on PEG algorithm have as good error correcting performance as the LDPC codes generated by PEG algorithm in the same conditions of code length,rate,degree distribution and decoding algorithm.The conclusion of contrastive analysis is that well-chosen cycle structures can improve the decoding performance obviously under the given degree distribution.The proposed algorithm can offer a good performance and low encoding complexity synchronously by taking advantage of the quasi-cyclic code’s characteristic that its parity-check matrix H has less superposition within the cycles.…”
