Abstract:
The nanoparticle structure includes: a substrate; and nanoparticles formed on the substrate, wherein the nanoparticles include silicide. The method of manufacturing the nanoparticle structure includes: forming an Si source layer to a predetermined thickness; forming nanoparticles using a predetermined metal and silicon; depositing the nanoparticles on the Si source layer; and growing the nanoparticles to form silicide. Nanoparticles having a desired size can be easily obtained by adjusting the thickness of the silicon source layer.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus of converting a series of data words into modulated signals generates for each data words, a number of intermediate sequences by combining mutually different digital words with a data word, scrambles the intermediate sequences to form alternative sequences, translates each alternataive sequence into a (d,k) constrained sequences, measures for each (d,k) constrained sequences, not only an inclusion rate of an undesired sub-sequence but also a running DSV (Digital Sum Value), and selects one (d,k) constrained sequence having a small inclusion rate for recording on an optical or magneto-optical recording medium among the (d,k) constrained sequences having maximum value of running DSV, smaller than a preset limit. Accordingly, efficient DSV control can be achieved for even relatively-long sequences.
