Mercury-free lamp, external electrode fluorescent lamp (EEFL) which includes the xenon gas, is now going on the research for the replacement of mercury lamp. The densities of excited xenon atom in the $1s_4$ resonance state and the $1s_5$ metastable state are investigated in the EEFL by a laser absorption spectroscopy under various gas pressures. We have measured the absorption signals for both $1s_4$ resonance and the $1s_5$ metastable state in the EEFL by varying the discharge currents for a given pressure. This basic absorption characteristic is very important for improvement of the VUV luminous efficiency of the EEFL as well as plasma display panel.

Resonant multi photon ionization (RMPD of Hg atoms is studied by focusing a high-power laser into the ionization cell. The intermediate resonant state is taken as $6d^1D_2$ with the 4-photon resonance wavelength of 560.7 nm. The ionization signal is measured as Hg vapor pressure (0.1-3.0 Torr), laser intensity $(10-120GW/\textrm{cm}^2)$, and laser wavelength (559-569 nm) vary. AC Stark shift and line broadening of the resonant state $(6d^1D_2)$ are observed and the shift factor is measured to be $-0.6(cm^{-1}/GW/\textrm{cm}^2$. It is also observed that the ionization signal increases as the Hg vapor pressure increases up to a certain value of pressure, however, if the pressure further increases, the signal decreases. The order of non-linearity, which discribes the laser intensity dependence of ionization rate, is measured to be 3 at the resonance, and compared with the theoretical results.esults.

Essentials of understanding the geochemical evolution and geophysical processes in Earth's system are macroscopic properties and atomistic (and electronic) structures of Earth materials. Recent advances in quantum calculations based on the density functional theory allow us to unveil the previously unknown details of local atomic structures in diverse silicates in Earth's interior. Here, we report the O K-edge ELNES (energy-loss near-edge structure; ELNES) spectra and PLDOS (partial local density of states) for oxygen atoms in ${\alpha}$-quartz and stishovite using the quantum calculations based on FP-LAPW (full potential linearized augmented plane wave). The calculated O K-edge ELNES spectrum of ${\alpha}$-quartz shows a strong peak at ~538 eV due to comer-sharing oxygen linking two $SiO_4$ tetrahedra and that for stishovite shows two distinct peaks at ~537 and ~543 eV corresponding to edge-sharing oxygen linking $SiO_6$ octahedra. The significant differences in spectral features of O K-edge ELNES spectra suggest that the O K-edge features can be useful indicator to distinguish various oxygen sites in diverse crystal and amorphous silicates in the Earth's interior.

Using semiempirical molecular orbital method, ASED-MO of extended Huckel Theory, we were investigated chemical bonds and electronic properties of Cu atom in a chain and a layer for Y123 and Y124 superconductors from VEP (valence electron population), DOS (density of state), and COOP (crystal orbital overlap population). In order to investigate environmental effects of Cu atom for Y123 and Y124 superconductors, we introduced charged cluster models with point charge and without point charge into our calculations. As a result of ASED-MO calculations, the Cu atom in the layer acts as electron acceptor and the Cu atom in the chain acts as electron donor for Y123 and Y124 superconductors. The oxidation state of Cu atom for Y123 and Y124 superconductors without point charge is higher in the chain than in the layer. The oxidation state of Cu atom in the layer for Y123 superconductor is higher than that in the layer for Y124 superconductor. The Cu atom in the layer and the chain for Y123 superconductor does not largely affect on the environmental effect. However, the Cu atom in the layer and the chain for Y124 superconductor does largely affect on it. Also, electron population and chemical bonding of Cu1-O4, Cu2-O4, and Cu1-Cu2 for Y123 superconductor are far different from Y124 superconductor.

The purpose of this simulation study was to evaluate the possibility of pancreas detection through effective atomic number information using dual-energy computed tomography(CT). The effective atomic number of 10 tissue-equivalent materials were estimated through stoichiometric calibration. For stoichiometric calibration, HU values at low-energy (80 kV) and high-energy (140 kV) for 10 tissue-equivalent materials were used. Based on this method, the effective atomic number image of the tissue-equivalent material was extracted through an iterative algorithm. According to the results, the attenuation ratio in accordance with the effective atomic number was estimated to have an R² value of 0.9999, and the effective atomic number of Pancreas, Water, Liver, Blood, Spongiosa, and Cortical bone was overall within 1% accuracy compared to the theoretical value. Conventional pancreatic cancer examination uses a contrast medium, so there is a possibility of potential side effects of the contrast medium. In order to solve this problem, it is thought that it will be possible to contribute to an accurate and safe examination by extracting the effective atomic number using dual-energy CT without contrast enhancement. Based on this study, future research will be conducted on the detection of pancreatic cancer using the HU value of pancreatic cancer based on clinical images.

반도체 레이저는 가격이 저렴하고 크기가 작으며 주파수 조절이 용이하기 때문에 광통신, 분광학, 원자물리 등 다양한 분야에 사용되고 있다. 그러나, 반도체 레이저 자체는 수십 MHz 정도의 넓은 선폭을 갖고 주파수가 안정되지 않아 분광학이나 원자 냉각실험에 사용이 부적합하여 선폭 축소와 주파수 안정화가 필요하다. (중략)

화학은 처음 중성원자로서의 수소가 생겨난 이후 옥텟규칙에 따라 최초의 분자인 수소분자가 우주공간에서 만들어지면서 분자과학으로서의 막을 올리게 된 것이다. 지금까지 화학은 원자들을 꿰어서 약 1천8백만가지의 화합물질을 만들어 냈다. 화학자들은 또 자연에 의존하는 화합물중에서 유용한 것을 골라내기도 하지만 전혀 새롭고 유용한 화합물을 설계하고 만들어왔는데 이처럼 다양하고 신비로운 화학의 세계를 들여다 본다.

1995년 7월 콜로라도 대학의 위만 & 코넬박사팀은 자기장과 레이저냉각을 이용 보스아인슈타인 응축을 관측했다. 이들은 3만 5천개의 루비듐원자가 응축돼 하나의 거대원자가 되는 것을 15초 동안 유지했다. 기체나 액체 고체 플라스마상태가 아닌 제5의 물질이 입증되는 순간이었다.
