15Link prediction is one of the key problems for graph-structured data. With the advancement of graph neural networks, graph autoencoders (GAEs) and variational graph autoencoders (VGAEs) have been proposed to learn graph embeddings in an unsupervised way. It has been shown that these methods are effective for link prediction tasks. However, they do not work well in link predictions when a node whose degree is zero (i.g., isolated node) is involved. We have found that GAEs/VGAEs make embeddings of
Considering theoretically the transition between hydrodynamic and ballistic regimes in 2D semiconductors, we show that electrons in high-mobility 2D GaAs are by far the best system for the direct observation of collective hydrodynamic effects even in bulk transport properties independent of complicated transport features in narrow constrictions and small systems where Gurzhi phenomena are typically studied experimentally. We predict a strong hydrodynamics-induced generic violation of the Wiedema
Electrons (or holes) confined in two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor layers have served as model systems for studying disorder and interaction effects for almost 50 years. In particular, strong disorder drives the metallic 2D carriers into a strongly localized Anderson insulator (AI) at low densities whereas pristine 2D electrons in the presence of no (or little) disorder should solidify into a Wigner crystal (WC) at very low carrier densities in order to optimize their Coulomb potential energy.

Abstract In this paper, a low‐power scan driver using depletion‐mode amorphous indium‐gallium‐zinc‐oxide (a‐IGZO) thin‐film transistors (TFTs) is proposed for high‐resolution displays. The proposed scan driver uses single clock signal to reduce the power consumption. This scan driver is simulated at the operating frequency of 153.6 kHz, which is the driving condition of 10.0‐inch wide quadruple extended graphics array (WQXGA, 1600 × 2560) display with the frame frequency of 60 Hz. The power cons
We propose an enhanced automatic modulation classification algorithm based on Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The proposed classifier employs the real and imaginary components extracted from the received signal as separate decision statistics. Also, unlike the conventional K-S test based algorithm, mean square error (MSE) between the empirical cumulative distribution and the hypothesized distribution for each modulation candidate is evaluated in the proposed algorithm. Simulation results show that the

Monolayer (ML) molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is a promising material for next-generation optoelectronic applications because MoS2 exhibits remarkable electronic and optical properties owing to its flexibility and direct bandgap. Despite these outstanding properties, MoS2 has limitations in fabricating optoelectronic devices because of its low quantum yield. To overcome these limitations, we propose a photoluminescence (PL) enhancement technique using a surface plasmon effect induced by transferrin
