This paper addresses the problem of segmenting a stream of graph signals: we aim to detect changes in the mean of a multivariate signal defined over the nodes of a known graph. We propose an offline method that relies on the concept of…
We investigate the quenching of the photoluminescence (PL) from the divacancy defect in 4H-SiC consisting of a nearest-neighbour silicon and carbon vacancies. The quenching occurs only when the PL is excited below certain photon energies…
