Light Absorbing Diamond for Solar Energy Conversion
High-temperature solar cells are possible by exploiting the Photon-Enhanced Thermionic Emission (PETE) concept, which represents a novel and very attractive mechanism for the exploitation of solar radiation, e...

UV Laser Beam Profilers Based on CVD Diamond
1D and 2D detector arrays have been realized on 270 μm thick 10 × 10 mm2 CVD diamond samples. The relatively high resistivity of diamond specimens in the dark (>3 × 1012 Ωcm) allowed the fabrication of photocondu...

UV Schottky Sensors Based on Wide Bandgap Semiconductors
Planar Al/GaN/Ni Schottky diodes were realized on GaN films deposited on sapphire substrates and characterized in the dark and under illumination. The optoelectronic characteristics of GaN photodetectors appea...

Photoconductive Position Sensitive CVD Diamond Detectors
Different contact structures were studied to realize CVD-diamond sensors able to detect light beam displacements. Photons irradiate the sample backside where a mesh contact is used for device biasing. Photogen...

Principal Components Identify MLP Hidden Layer Size for Optimal Generalisation Performance
One of the major concerns when implementing a supervised artificial neural network solution to a classification or prediction problem, is the network’s performance on unseen data. The phenomenon of the network...

Fahlman-Type Activation Functions Applied to Nonlinear PCA Networks Provide a Generalised Independent Component Analysis
It has been shown experimentally that Oja’s nonlinear principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm is capable of performing an independent component analysis (ICA) on a specific data set [7]. However, the dyna...
