Instead of color quantization algorithm, an automatic classification method based on adaptive mean shift (AMS) based clustering is used for nonparametric clustering of image data set. The clustering results are used to construct Gaussian mixture modelling (GMM) of image data for the calculation of soft J value. The region growing algorithm used in JSEG is then applied in segmenting the image based on the multiscale soft J-images. Experiments show that the synergism of JSEG and the soft classification based on AMS based clustering and GMM overcomes the limitations of JSEG successfully and is more robust.展开更多

Several parameters such as binding energies, second differences of energy and vertical-electron detachment energies have been adopted to characterize and evaluate the structure stability of Al13In^- (n= 1 - 12) clusters. The optimized models show that the Al13 moieties in the clusters can not retain the original regular icosahedron structure. Results from binding energy and second difference of energy show that Al13In and Al13In^- clusters with even n are more stable than those with odd n in contrast with Al13In^+ clusters. The calculation of vertical-electron detachment energies (VDE) of Al13In clusters indicates that Al13In and Al13In^- clusters with even n are closer to the closed shell of the Jellium model. Further analysis of electron density of states and electron density differences reveals that the enhanced stability of AI13In^- clusters is not only associated with the closed shell of valence electrons but also with the bonding type between I and associated AI atoms.展开更多

The research results show that the size of atoms has a great influence on the structural stability of these species. The wiberg bond indexs (WBIs) suggest the existence of delocalization in these structures. Negative nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) values for these species indicate that a strong ring current exists in these three-membered structures (Cs symmetry). A detailed molecular orbital (MO) analysis further reveals that a delocalized π MO strengthens the structural stability and makes these species show strong aromatic characters.展开更多

The clusters of Ir4(CO)12 (1), Ir4(μ-CO)3(CO)9 (2), Ir4(μ-L)(CO)10 (L = dppm 3, dppe 4, (Ph2P)2CHMe 5, Ph2P(CH2)3PPh2 6) and Ir4(CO)10(phen) (phen = 1,10-phen- anthroline) (7) exhibit the first static hyperpolarizabilities of medium magnitude (βtot-10×10^-30 esu). The second order nonlinear optical response of the seven clusters increase from 0 to 23 ×10^-30 esu; the high symmetric cluster Ir4(CO)12 debases its symmetry and presents the second order nonlinear optical behavior as the coordination style of some carbonyls changes to bridge style, and then the response increases regularly with the systematical variation of the ligands. The origination of the first hyperpolarizability is discussed by the expanded orbital decomposition scheme. The results suggest the d-d electron transition from the apical iridium atom to the other three Ir atoms inside the metal skeleton, and d-πelectron transitions from metals to carbonyls are responsible for the first hyperpolarizabilities. Particularly, for cluster 7, the charge transfer from d orbitals of iridium to π* orbirals of phenanthroline originates the first hyperpolarizabilities.展开更多

The molecule crystallizes in the space group P21/C with cell parameters a= 1.0088(2), b= 1.3063(3), c=1 8320(5) ran, β = 96.04(2)°; the final deviation factor R = 0.041.
