Cotter, Neil E. | Prejudicial search and backprop | This paper introduces the combination of backward error propagation and prejudicial search. Prejudicial search is a method, which like simulated annealing, guarantees convergence to a global minimum as time approaches infinity. Unlike simulated annealing, its application is more flexible because it ... | | 1991 |

Stringfellow, Gerald B.; Inglefield, Colin E.; Taylor, P. Craig | Quantum wells due to ordering in GaInP | CuPt ordering results in a reduction of the band-gap energy of GaInP. Thus, heterostructures and quantum wells can be produced by simply varying the order parameter, without changing the solid composition. Changes in the order parameter can be induced by changes in growth conditions. The disorder... | Band-gap energy; Growth temperature; Quantum wells | 1998-12-28 |
