The sample powders of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and copper (I) oxide (Cu2O) as N-type and P-type semiconductors, respectively, were synthesized. The semiconductors were prepared to be a composite film with alginate. The structure, morphology, and purity of the N- and P-type semiconductors were characterized using X-Ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy techniques. Through the optical characterization, the N-type semiconductor showed the calculated energy band gap of 2.80 eV, while the P-type semiconductor was 1.90 eV. The P–N junction property of prepared samples was confirmed using a nonlinear current–voltage characteristic. After that, two flexible semiconductors were frictional paired for TENG. Through a vertical contact-separation mode, the P–N junction-based TENG produced a maximum output voltage and current of 3.90 V and 0.44 µA, respectively, with a maximum output power of 0.35 µW at 10 MΩ. In summary, the present work achieved the preparation of flexible P- and N-type semiconductors. The feasibility to harvest the mechanical energy was demonstrated in the TENG configuration. This idea is crucial for the future development of flexible harvesting/sensing devices using a novel concept.Keywords: P-type semiconductorN-type semiconductorP–N Junctiontriboelectric nanogenerator Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by KMITL under the Grant number KREF156601.The work of Supakarn Worathat thanks to funding support from the Faculty of Science, King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL) under Grant no.

As a result, the software aging phenomenon occurs, which ultimately degrades the performance and reliability of the software system. Aiming at the above problems, this paper proposes a hybrid model based on integrated variational mode decomposition, moving average free regression and long and short memory network (VMD-ARIMA-BILSTM) to predict the software aging problem. Firstly, the original resource utilization rate is decomposed into stationary time series and non-stationary time series by variational mode decomposition. Then, the advantages of moving average free regression and bidirectional long short-term memory network are used to predict stationary and non-stationary series respectively. Finally, the prediction results are reconstructed to obtain the final prediction results. Experimental results show that compared with single ARIMA and BI-LSTM, the hybrid model designed in this paper has higher prediction accuracy and faster convergence speed.Keywords: Cloud platformsoftware agingVMDARIMABILSTM Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":13686,"journal":{"name":"Integrated Ferroelectrics","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134968654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
