Role of interlayer coupling for the power factor of CuSbS2 and CuSbSe2(2017-01-08) [Poster]The electronic and transport properties of bulk and monolayer CuSbS2 and CuSbSe2 are determined by using density functional theory and semiclassical Boltzmann transport theory, in order to investigate the role of interlayer coupling for the thermoelectric properties. The calculated band gaps of the bulk compounds are in agreement with experiments and significantly higher than those of the monolayers, which thus show lower Seebeck coefficients. Since also the electrical conductivity is lower, the monolayers are characterized by lower power factors. Therefore, interlayer coupling is found to be essential for the excellent thermoelectric response of CuSbS2 and CuSbSe2, even though it is weak.

Intrinsic defect process and O migration in PrBa(Co/Fe)2O5.5(2017-01-08) [Poster]New mixed ion-electron conductors ar desired to lower the operating temperature of solid oxide fuel cells. The O Frenkel energy and migration of O ions in rBa(Co/Fe)2O5.5 are studied for this purpose by density functional theory. We demonstrate that Fe substitution strongly affects the formation of defects and consequently the O migration.

Minimum Delay Moving Object Detection(2017-01-08) [Poster]We present a general framework and method for detection of an object in a video based on apparent motion. The object moves relative to background motion at some unknown time in the video, and the goal is to detect and segment the object as soon it moves in an online manner. Due to unreliability of motion between frames, more than two frames are needed to reliably detect the object. Our method is designed to detect the object(s) with minimum delay, i.e., frames after the object moves, constraining the false alarms. Experiments on a new extensive dataset for moving object detection show that our method achieves less delay for all false alarm constraints than existing state-of-the-art.
