Abstract: One-dimensional nanostructures having uniform diameters of less than approximately 200 nm. These inventive nanostructures, which we refer to as “nanowires”, include single-crystalline homostructures as well as heterostructures of at least two single-crystalline materials having different chemical compositions. Because single-crystalline materials are used to form the heterostructure, the resultant heterostructure will be single-crystalline as well. The nanowire heterostructures are generally based on a semiconducting wire wherein the doping and composition are controlled in either the longitudinal or radial directions, or in both directions, to yield a wire that comprises different materials. Examples of resulting nanowire heterostructures include a longitudinal heterostructure nanowire (LOHN) and a coaxial heterostructure nanowire (COHN).

Abstract: Provided is an emotional-speech synthesizing device including: a sentence recognition unit that recognizes a sentence that is input; a word emotion determination unit that calculates probability vector of an emotion that is pre-defined for each word that makes up the recognized sentence and estimates the emotion and a rhythm based on the probability vector; and an emotional-speech synthesizing unit. The emotional-speech synthesizing unit calculates in stages degrees of similarity in the emotion and the rhythm between the adjacent words based on context information on the recognized sentence, applies weight to a phoneme candidate corresponding to the each word based on the degrees of the similarity and the probability vector, selects the phoneme candidate that has a minimum target pitch, minimum duration time, a minimum distance value of a target pitch contour, and thus synthesizes an emotional speech that corresponds to the recognized sentence in optimal units.
