In various embodiments, single-crystal aluminum nitride boules and substrates have low Urbach energies and/or absorption coefficients at deep-ultraviolet wavelengths. The single-crystal aluminum nitride may function as a platform for the fabrication of light-emitting devices such as light-emitting diodes and lasers. The single-crystal aluminum nitride boules may advantageously have diameters that increase along at least portions of their lengths.

Aluminum nitride crystals having low urbach energy and high transparency to deep-ultraviolet wavelengths

An information processing device includes: an outline extraction unit extracting an outline of a subject from a picked-up image of the subject; a characteristic amount extraction unit extracting a characteristic amount, by extracting sample points from points making up the outline, for each of the sample points: an estimation unit estimating a posture of a high degree of matching as a posture of the subject by calculating a degree of the characteristic amount extracted in the characteristic amount extraction unit being matched with each of a plurality of characteristic amounts that are prepared in advance and represent predetermined postures different from each other; and a determination unit determining accuracy of estimation by the estimation unit using a matching cost when the estimation unit carries out the estimation.

Information processing device and method, program and recording medium for identifying a gesture of a person from captured image data

In various embodiments, single-crystal aluminum nitride boules and substrates are formed from the vapor phase with controlled levels of impurities such as carbon. Single-crystal aluminum nitride may be heat treated via quasi-isothermal annealing and controlled cooling to improve its ultraviolet absorption coefficient and/or Urbach energy.
