Rhombohedral PZT Thin Films Prepared by Sputtering
PZT thin films with a rhombohedral perovskite structure were successfully grown on (111) PLT/Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si and (111) Ir/SiO2/Si substrates. The... -
Correlation Between Domain Structures and Dielectric Properties in Single Crystals of Ferroelectric Solid Solutions
In the present chapter, the growth of single crystals in relaxor–PbTiO3 (PT) solid solution system by the flux method and the solution Bridgman... -
Relaxor Superlattices: Artificial Control of the Ordered–Disordered State of B-Site Ions in Perovskites
We have developed a new superlattice technique to artificially control the B-site ordering state. The technique has been applied to Ba(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3,... -
Pb-Based Ferroelectric Thin Films Prepared by MOCVD
This Chapter focuses on the preparation and ferroelectric properties of Pb-based thin films and nanostructures. First, the growth behavior of... -
Chemical Solution Depositionof Layer-Structured Ferroelectric Thin Films
Ferroelectric rare-earth-doped Bi4Ti3O12 thin films have been successfully prepared on Si-based substrates by using metallo-organic precursor... -
Nonclassical Light from Single Semiconductor Quantum Dots
In this article the recent progress in the generation of nonclassical light using semiconductor quantum dots is reviewed. Photon antibunching and... -
Parameter Identifiability of Nonlinear Biological Systems
Parameters characterizing the internal behaviour of biological and physiological systems are usually not directly accessible to measurement. Their... -
Qualitative Analysis of Regulatory Graphs: A Computational Tool Based on a Discrete Formal Framework
Building upon the logical approach developed by the group of R. Thomas in Brussels, we are defining a rigorous mathematical framework to model... -
Differential Systems with Positive Variables
The variables of biological, ecological, or chemical systems are often positive, because they measure concentrations, numbers, ...We study polynomial... -
Completion Problems for Positive Matrices with Minimal Rank
Matrix completion problems studies the partial matrices, that is, a rectangular matrix some of whose entries are specified, and the remainder entries... -
Linear Positive Systems and Phase-type Representations
In this paper we try to put a bridge between the theory of phase-type distributions and the general theory of positive linear systems. The phase-type... -
Estimation and Strong Approximation of Hidden Markov Models
We give novel conditions for the existence of the limit of the normalized log-likelihood function for a finite-state continuous read-out Hidden... -
Modal Logic and Dioids
This paper presents results concerning the relations between a propositional modal logic (NK-logic) and the algebra of dioids. The technique of... -
Simulating a Motorcycle Driver
Controlling a riderless bicycle or motorcycle is a challenging problem because the dynamics are nonlinear and non-minimum phase. Further difficulties... -
Minimax Nonlinear Control under Stochastic Uncertainty Constraints
We consider in this paper a class of stochastic nonlinear systems in strict feedback form, where in addition to the standard Wiener process there is... -
Rational Positive Systems for Reaction Networks
The purpose of the lecture associated with this paper is to present problems, concepts, and theorems of control and system theory for a subclass of... -
Guaranteed Parameter Estimation for Cooperative Models
The parameters of cooperative models are estimated in a boundederror context, i.e., all uncertain quantities are assumed to be bounded, with known... -
Stability of Linear Systems and Positive Semigroups of Symmetric Matrices
The role of Lyapunov operators in stability theory is well-known. In this paper we present an interesting characterization of Lyapunov operators. We... -
A Characterization of Reachable Positive Periodic Descriptor Systems
Periodic descriptor system with nonnegative restrictions and its associated invariant cyclically augmented system (ICAS) are analyzed. The weakly... -
On the Positive Reachability of 2D Positive Systems
Local reachability of two-dimensional (2D) positive systems, by means of positive scalar inputs, is addressed by means of a graph theoretic approach....
