Optimal Noise Benefit in Composite Hypothesis Testing under Different Criteria

  • Shujun Liu,
  • Ting Yang,
  • Mingchun Tang,
  • Hongqing Liu,
  • Kui Zhang and
  • Xinzheng Zhang

19 August 2016

The detectability for a noise-enhanced composite hypothesis testing problem according to different criteria is studied. In this work, the noise-enhanced detection problem is formulated as a noise-enhanced classical Neyman–Pearson (NP), Max–min, or re...

Soft Magnetic Properties of High-Entropy Fe-Co-Ni-Cr-Al-Si Thin Films

  • Pei-Chung Lin,
  • Chun-Yang Cheng,
  • Jien-Wei Yeh and
  • Tsung-Shune Chin

18 August 2016

Soft magnetic properties of Fe-Co-Ni-Al-Cr-Si thin films were studied. As-deposited Fe-Co-Ni-Al-Cr-Si nano-grained thin films showing no magnetic anisotropy were subjected to field-annealing at different temperatures to induce magnetic anisotropy. Op...
