During irradiation of lesions in cancer treatment with high energy electrons, normal tissue and critical organs are protected by the shielding material. Scattered radiation that generated the shielding materials affect the depth dose and atomic number. Therefore, we want to examine secondary particles and the scattered photons through calculation and its associated analysis, and compare the measurement for the aluminum, copper, and lead shielding substance of which thickness has 95% charge reduction. Dose change rate which effected scattering radiation was found to be +0.88% for material thickness, +0.43% for atomic number, and +19.70%, +15.20%, +12.40% for measurement, +25.00%, +15.10%, +13.70% for calculation on the aluminum, copper, and lead materials of which thickness has 95% charge reduction, respectively, As a result, we found that scattering rate was dependent on thickness than atomic number. In the dose increasing rate, scattered electrons are more important than scattered photon. For the above mentioned reasons, I think that high atomic number materials should be applied to reduce scattered radiation that generated with thickness effect.

This paper presents a material estimation method using dual-energy X-ray images generated as a result of cargo inspection system in MeV region. We use new discrimination curve using logarithmic function rather than four discrimination curves commonly used in existing estimation algorithms. We also propose an atomic number estimation using the probability distribution of the logarithmic curve rather than linear interpolation. When the probability distribution is used as a weight, we used two methods of using the weight for the two nearest reference materials and the weight for all the reference materials. Experimental results showed that the atomic number estimation of materials using the probability distribution as a weight is more accurate than the existing methods. In order to visualize the estimated atomic number, the HSI model was used for color the resulting image.

In the AAPM CT performance phantom, there is little data on the CT number of the effective atomic number and physical density corresponding to each peg and water of the CT number calibration insert. Therefore, the necessity of documentation was raised.The purpose of this study is to calculate the effective atomic number for each peg and water of the CT number calibration insert in the AAPM CT performance phantom, and to measure the CT number for the calculated effective atomic number and physical density for comparative analysis.In order to obtain CT number data on the effective atomic number and physical density of each peg and water from the CT number calibration insert of the AAPM CT performance phantom, the effective atomic number for each peg and water was first calculated. Then, CT slices were obtained by scanning the CT number calibration with a CT scanner. CT numbers were measured for each peg and water in the central CT slice. As a result, the CT numbers for the effective atomic number showed a nonlinear pattern of repeating the increase and decrease as the effective atomic number increased. In addition, the CT numbers for physical density showed a nonlinear pattern of repeating the increase and decrease as the physical density increased.

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.

희토류원소는 원자번호 57의 La으로부터 원자번호 71의 Lu까지의 원소군으로서, 지난 40여년간 지구화학 및 우주화학의 연구분야에서 상당한 관심을 받아왔다 (Masuda et al., 1973; Taylor and McLennan, 1985: Johannesson et at., 1997). 최근에는 지하수, 호소와 같은 육상수에서의 희토류원소의 농도가 그들의 지구화학적 진화에 영향을 주는 과정의 잠재적인 지시자로서 주목을 받고 있다 (Sholkovitz, 1992; Johannson et at., 1997). (중략)

The analytical conditions for the fluorescence X-ray determination of small amount of cupper in solution were established. Copper in solution was extracted by diethyldithiocarbamate ethyl acetate and adsorbed by zinc powder. After drying, it was pressed to tablet under the pressure of $250Kg/cm^2.$$K_{\alpha}2(2{\theta}_{LiF} = 45.08^{\circ})$. The limit of detection was estimated to be about $10{\mu}g$ by the method of standard addition with an error of 10 %.

반도체 소자의 기판 재료로 사용되고 있는 실리콘 웨이퍼는 그 정밀도가 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 균일한 Dopant 농도 분포를 얻을 수 있는 중성자 변환 Doping을 이용하여 실리콘에 인(P)을 Doping하는 연구를 수행하였다. 중성자 변환 Doping, 즉 NTD(Neutron Transmutation Doping)란 원자번호 30인 실리론 동위원소에 중성자가 조사되면 원자번호 31인 실리콘으로 변환되고, 2.6시간의 반감기를 갖고 decay 되면서 인(P)으로 변하게 되어 실리콘 웨이퍼에 n-type 전도를 갖게 하는 것을 말한다. 본 연구에서는 하나로 원자로를 이용하여 고저항(1000-2000Ω㎝) FZ 실리콘 웨이퍼에 중성자 조사하여 저항의 변화를 관찰하였고, 중성자 조사시 발생하는 점결함을 분석하여 점결함이 저항 변화에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 중성자 조사 전 이론적 계산에 의해 16.8Ω㎝와 4.76Ω㎝의 저항을 얻을 수 있을 것으로 예상되었고, 중성자 조사 후 SRP로 측정한 결과 실리콘 웨이퍼가 3Ω㎝과 2.5Ω㎝의 저항을 가지고 있을 확인할 수 있었으며, FT-IR 분석결과 점결함의 변화 양상을 확인할 수 있었다.

A monte carlo simulation about shielding material and thickness of the syringe shield for radiation shield was performed. As a result of analysis, high atomic number materials such as tungsten, lead and bismuth have the highest shielding effect. However, $^{18}F$, $^{67}Ga$ and $^{111}In$ show high energy distribution in the region with thin shielding thickness. As the thickness of shielding materials increased, the energy distribution decreased due to reduction of ${\gamma}$-ray. In the case of low atomic number materials, they, showed energy distribution from highest to lowest, were barium sulfate, steel, stainless, iron and copper. Aluminum, plastic, concrete and water showed diverse aspect. they showed relatively high energy distribution because of increased ${\gamma}$-ray that penetrate the shield.

열 진공 증착법(thermal vacuum evaporation)에 의해 p-형 열전박막을 $3{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}3{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr의 범위에서 유리 기판 위에 제조하였다. 제조된 박막의 전기저항은 고진공일수록 저항이 증가하였으며, $Bi_2Te_3$와 $Sb_2Te_3$상을 가지고 있었다. 박막의 조성은 기판의 위치에 따라 변화하였고, 원자 번호가 작을수록 위치의 영향이 크고, 반대로 원자번호가 큰 원소는 그 영향이 작았다. 또한 고진공에서 제조된 박막일수록 상대적으로 저진공에 비해 조성의 변화가 적게 나타났다.
