In this study, the feasibility of using the covariance-matrix-adaptation-evolution-strategy (CMA-ES) algorithm in a multichannel coherent-beam-combining (CBC) system was experimentally verified. We constructed a multichannel CBC system utilizing a spatial light modulator (SLM) as a multichannel phase-modulator array, along with a coherent light source at 635 nm, implemented the stochastic-parallel-gradient-descent (SPGD) and CMA-ES algorithms on it, and compared their performances. In particular, we evaluated the characteristics of the CMA-ES and SPGD algorithms in the CBC system in both 16-channel rectangular and 19-channel honeycomb formats. The results of the evaluation showed that the performances of the two algorithms were similar on average, under the given conditions; However, it was verified that under the given conditions the CMA-ES algorithm was able to operate with more stable performance than the SPGD algorithm, as the former had less operational variation with the initial phase setting than the latter. It is emphasized that this study is the first proof-of-principle demonstration of the CMA-ES phase-control algorithm in a multichannel CBC system, to the best of our knowledge, and is expected to be useful for future experimental studies of the effects of additional channel-number increments, or external-phase-noise effects, in multichannel CBC systems based on the CMA-ES phase-control algorithm.

In this study, we propose a hybrid phase-control algorithm for multi-channel coherent beam combining (CBC) system by combining the covariant matrix adaption evolution strategy (CMA-ES) and stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithms and analyze its operational performance. The proposed hybrid CMA-ES/SPGD algorithm is a sequential process which initially runs the CMA-ES algorithm until the combined final output intensity reaches a preset interim value, and then switches to running the SPGD algorithm to the end of the whole process. For ideal 7-channel and 19-channel all-fiber-based CBC systems, we have found that the mean convergence time can be reduced by about 10% in comparison with the case when the SPGD algorithm is implemented alone. Furthermore, we analyzed a more realistic situation in which some additional phase noise was introduced in the same CBC system. As a result, it is shown that the proposed algorithm reduces the mean convergence time by about 17% for a 7-channel CBC system and 16-27% for a 19-channel system compared to the existing SPGD alone algorithm. We expect that for implementing a CBC system in a real outdoor environment where phase noise cannot be ignored, the hybrid CMA-ES/SPGD algorithm proposed in this study will be exploited very usefully.

This study provides floor vibration analysis for a factory constructed by ES-beam using field measured acceleration data. The natural frequencies of the first two modes of floor are extracted from measured data. With this information, a system identification has been performed to produce a numerical model representing existing floor. The peak magnitudes of acceleration for one man walking heel drop load from experiment and numerical model are analyzed using ISO vibration criteria and AIJ vibration performance criteria. The results show that there is no problem in use of ES-beam.

Recently, as the needs of developing the micro autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) are increasing, the acquisition of the elementary technology is urgent. While they mostly utilizes information of the forward looking sonar (FLS) in conventional studies of the local path control as an elementary technology, it is desirable to use the obstacle avoidance sonar (OAS) because the size of the FLS is not suitable for the micro AUV. In brief, the local path control system based on the OAS for the micro AUV operates with the following problems: the OAS offers low bearing resolution and local range information, it requires the system that has reduced power consumption to extend the mission execution time, and it requires an easy design procedure in terms of its structures and parameters. To solve these problems, an intelligent local path control algorithm based on the beam modeling of OAS with the evolution strategy (ES) and the fuzzy logic controller (FLC), is proposed. To verify the performance and analyze the characteristic of the proposed algorithm, the course control of the underwater flight vehicle (UFV) is performed in the horizontal plane. Simulation results show that the feasibility of real application and the necessity of additional work in the proposed algorithm.

박막 표면에 대한 경원소 분석법인 탄성 되튐 반도법을 개발하여 수소, 탄소, 질소등 분석에 이용하고 있다. 이때 입사 입자로 Cl 9.6MeV를 이용하였는데, 표적 표면에 탄소막이 흡착되는 현상을 발견하였다. cold trap 및 cold finger를 사용하여 진공도를 개선하므로서, 탄소막 흡착의 한 원인으로 알려져 잇는 chamber 주변의 진공도 변화를 시켜보았다. 하지만 전혀 탄소막이 생기지 않는 10-10torr 이하 진공을 만드는 것은 많은 비용과 장비를 필요로 하는 상당히 힘든 작업이어서, 이차적으로 탄소막이 표적 표면에 달라 붙게 하는 원인으로 추정되는 이차 전자의 발생을 고에너지 이온빔으로 조사하였다. 일반적으로 이차전자의 발생은 이온빔과 표적과의 충돌에 의한 고체 표면으로부터의 전자방출 현상으로 오래전부터 연구되어져 왔다. 여기에는 두가지 다른 구조가 존재하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그 중 하나는 입사 입자의 전하와 표적 표면사이 작용하는 potential 에너지가 표적 표면의 일함수(재가 function) 보다 클 때에 일어나는 potential emission이다. 즉 표적 궤도에 존재하는 전자와 입사 이온빔 사이의 potential 이 표적의 전자를 들뜨게 만들고, 이 potential의 크기가표적의 표면 장벽 potential 보다 충분히 클 뜸 전자가 방출하는 현상을 말한다. 다른 또 하나의 방출구조로는 입사 이온이 표적 표면의 원자와의 충돌에 의해 직접저인 에너지 전달을 통한 전자 방출을 말하는데, 이를 kienetic emission(이하 KE)이라 한다. 본 연구에서는 Tandem Van de graaff 가속기로 고에너지 이온빔을 만들어 Au에 충돌시키므로서 kinetic emission을 통하여 Au에서 발생한는 이차전자의 방출 수율 및 에너지를 측정하였다.장구조로 전체 성장 양식을 예견할 수 있다. 일반적인 경향은 Ep가 커질수록 fractal 성장형태가 되며, Ed가 적을수록 cluster 밀도가 작아지나, 같은 Ed+Ep에 대해서는 동일한 크기의 팔 넓이(수평 수직 방향 cluster 두께)를 가진다. 따라서 실험으로부터 얻은 cluster의 팔 넓이로부터 Ed+Ep 값을 결정할 수 있고, cluster 밀도와 fractal 차원으로부터 각각 Ed와 Ep값을 분리하여 얻을 수 있다. 또한 다층 성장에 대한 거칠기(roughness) 값으로부터 Es값도 구할 수 있다. 양방향 대칭성을 갖지 않은 fcc(110) 표면과 같은 경우, 형태는 다양하지만 동일한 방법으로 추정이 가능하다. (110) 표면의 경우 nearest neighbor 원자가 한 축으로 형성되고 따라서 이 축과 이것과 수직인 축에 대한 상호작용이나 분산 장벽 모두가 비대칭적이다. 따라서 분산 장벽도 x-축, y-축 방향에 따라 분리하여 Edx, E요, Epx, Epy 등과 같이 방향에 따라 다르게 고려해야 한다. 이러한 비대칭적인 분산 장벽을 고려하여 KMC 시뮬레이션을 수행하면 수평축과 수직축의 분산 장벽의 비에 따라 cluster의 두께비가 달라지는 성장을 볼 수 있었고, 한 축 방향으로의 팔 넓이는 fcc(100) 표면의 경우 동일한 Ed+Ep값에 대응하는 팔 넓이와 거의 동일한 결과가 나타나는 것을 볼 수 있다. 따라서 이러한 비대칭적인 모양을 가지는 성장의 경우도 cluster 밀도, cluster 모양, cluster의 양 축 방향 길이 비, 양 축 방향의 평균 팔 넓이로부터 각 축 방향의 분산 장벽을 얻어낼 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 기대할 수 있는 여러 장점들을 보고하고자 한다.성이 우수한 시편일수록 grain의 크기가 큰 것으로 나타났고 결정성이 우수한 시편의 경우에서는 XR

Proton therapy facility, which is recently installed at National Cancer Center in Korea, generally produces a large amount of radiation near cyclotron due to the secondary particles and radioisotopes caused by collision between proton and nearby materials during the acceleration. Although the level of radiation by radioisotope decreases in length of time, radiation exposure problem still exists since workers are easily exposed by a low level of radiation for a long time due to their job assignment for maintenance or repair of the proton facility. In this paper, the working environment near cyclotron, where the highest radiation exposure is expected, was studied by measuring the degree of radiation and its duration for an appropriate level of protective action guide. To do this, we measured the radiation change in the graphite based energy degrader, the efficiency of transmitted beam and relative activation degree of the transmission beam line. The results showed that while the level of radiation exposure around cyclotron and beam line during the operation is much higher than the other radiation therapy facilities, the radiation exposure rate per year is under the limit recommended by the law showing 1~3 mSv/year.

Hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) films were deposited by ECR-PECVD (electron cyclotron resonance-plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition) method with deposition conditions such as ECR plasma source power, gas composition of methane and hydrogen, deposition time and substrate bias voltage. The hydrogen content in the films has been measured by ERDA (elastic recoil detection analysis) using 2.5 MeV $He^{++}$ ion beam. From the results of AES (Auger electron spectroscopy), RBS (Rutherford backscattering spectrometry) and ERDA, the composition elements of deposited film were confirmed the carbon atom and the hydrogen atom. It was observed by FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) that the hydrogen contents in the film varied according to the deposition conditions. In deposition condition of substrate bias voltage, the hydrogen contents were decreased remarkably because the amount of dehydrogenation in films was increased as the substrate bias voltage increased. In the rest deposition conditions, the hydrogen contents in the film were measured in the range 45~55%.

화학적 산화막(SiOx)이 형성된 Si(100)기판 위에 Co-silicide의 형성과 계면 형상에 관한 연구를 하였다. 화학적 산화막은 과산화수소수(H2O2)의 인위적 처리에 의해 약 2nm을 형성시켰다. 그 위에 5nm 두께의 Co 박막을 전자빔 증착기에 의해 증착시킨 후 열처리하여 Co-silicide를 형성하였다. 화학적 산화막 위에서 Co-silicide 반응기구를 알아 보기 위해 $500^{\circ}C$-$900^{\circ}C$의 온도 범위에서 ex-situ와 in-situ 열처리를 하였다. 이와같이 형성된 Co-silicide 시편의 상형성, 표면 및 계면 형상, 그리고 화학적 조성을 XRD, SEM, TEM, 그리고 AES를 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과 es-situ 열처리시 $700^{\circ}C$까지 CoSi2 상은 형성되지 않았고 Co의 응집화현상이 일어났다. $800^{\circ}C$ 열처리한 경우에는 CoSI2가 형성되었고 facet 현상이 크게 나타났으며 불연속적인 grain 들이 형성되었다. In-situ 열처리한 경우에는 저온에서 ($550 ^{\circ}C$)반응하여 Co-silicide가 형성되기 시작하였으며 $600^{\circ}C$부터는 facet에 의해 박막의 특성이 나빠지기 시작했다. $550^{\circ}C$에서 Co가 화학적 산화막 층을 통해 확산하여 균질한 Co-silicide를 형성하였다. 이와같이 형성된 균질한 실리사이드 층을 이용하여 다단계(55$0^{\circ}C$-$650^{\circ}C$-$800^{\circ}C$)열처리에 의해 균질한 다결정 CoSI2의 형성이 관찰되었다.
