Authentication and key agreement based on three factors and PUF for UAVs-assisted post-disaster emergency communication by Wang, Di, Cao, Yue, Lam, Kwok-Yan, Hu, Yulin, Kaiwartya Omprakash

“…For unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)-assisted post-disaster emergency communication networks, UAVs serve as relay nodes of air-based backup network to support transmission of rescue messages to emergency communication vehicles (ECVs), while ECVs provide on-site ground communication and connectivity to the command center (CC) of the rescue operation. Existing works seldom emphasize communication security such as authenticity of communicating parties and integrity of message content. …”

Phase evolution and room-temperature photoluminescence in amorphous SiC alloy by Zhou, H. P., Xu, M., Wei, D. Y., Ong, T., Xiao, S. Q., Xu, L. X., Huang, S. Y., Guo, Y. N., Khan, S., Xu, S.

“…The underlying PL mechanism is explained in the framework of quantum confinement-luminescence center model. The photoexcitation process occurs in the nc-Si quantum dots embedded in the host SiC matrix, whereas the photoemission process occurs in the luminescence centers in the surrounding SiC or at SiC-Si interfaces. …”

Bond order resolved 3d 5/2 and valence band chemical shifts of Ag surfaces and nanoclusters by Sun, Changqing, Qin, Wei, Wang, Yan, Huang, Yongli, Zhou, Zhaofeng, Yang, Chao

“…Theoretical reproduction of the measured spectroscopic data derived that the 3d5/2 energy of an isolated Ag atom shifts from 363.02 to 367.65 eV and the valence band center from 0.36 to 8.32 eV upon bulk formation. The extended Wagner plots revealed the coefficients of valence recharging and potential screening to be 1.21 and 1.56 for Ag interacting with Al2O3 substrate and 1.15 and 1.50 for Ag with CeO2, respectively. …”
