A Highly efficient Mercury-free Flat Fluorescent Lamp (MFFL) with dielectric barrier Xe gas discharge was developed for an alternative of conventional line-type Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps (CCFLs) which shows a wide voltage margin and a stable discharge operation for diffuse glow discharge with an application of a auxiliary electrode. Electro-optic characteristics of the MFFL were examined through the changes in ambient temperature, total pressure and Xe partial pressure. the single cell is expanded into a multi-structured configuration to realize a large sized lamp by a simple repetition of the single cells, and a new driving scheme is proposed for an adaptive brightness control using dual auxiliary electrodes and bi-polar drive scheme. In addition, interesting application of this ultra high luminance flat lamp by the optimization of the gas condition and the pattern of the rear phosphor layer is suggested as a good alternative of daylight lamp source

A method for measuring archaeological dose of Packjae pottery shards using thermoluminescence dosimetry(TLD) has been studied. TL measurement has been achieved using quartz crystals in the size range of 90 to $125{\mu}m$ diameter extracted from the pottery shards. The stable temperature region of the TL glow curve which is devoid of anomalous fading components was identified by the plateau test and found to exist from 265 to $300^{\circ}C$. The archaeological dose of the pottery shards was estimated to be 7.43 Gy using the dose calibration curves obtained from sequential irradiation of $^{137}Cs$ gamma source to the samples and TL measurement of natural samples.

A pulse driven atmospheric plasma jet controlled by external ballast capacitor is developed. Unlike the most commonly use DBD sources, the proposed device utilizes bare metal electrode. The discharge energy per pulse can precisely be determined by changing voltage and capacitance of the ballast capacitor. It is shown that the device can provide wide range of plasma, from stable glow mode to near arc state. Current-voltage waveforms, optical emission spectra and discharge images are investigated as a function of an injection energy. The OES shows that He and oxygen lines are increased as a function of the external ballast capacitor. Ozone and rotational temperature have similar tendency with a power consumption. The feeding gas is He and the applied DC voltage is from 400V to 800V when the gap distance is $500{\mu}m$.

대기압 플라즈마를 발생시키는 것은 종래의 저기압 플라즈마를 발생시키는 것 보다 대단히 어렵다. 하지만, 대기압 플라즈마는 진공장치가 필요 없고, 제작방식이 비교적 간편하며 살균, 의료, 표면처리 등 다양한 응용이 가능해서 그 잠재력이 매우 크다. 본 연구에서는 유전체가 없는 두 전극사이에서 대기압 저온 마이크로 플라즈마를 발생시켰으며, submicrosecond pulse 파형으로 glow discharge를 유지할 수 있었다. 플라즈마 소스의 전극 간격은 200[${\mu}m$]이고 방전개시전압은 약 450${\sim}$600[V]이다. 플라즈마를 발생시키기 위한 feeding gas는 He 100%이다. 본 연구에서 개발된 대기압 플라즈마는 소비전력이 2[W]미만으로 온도는 조건에 따라 40$^{\circ}C$미만으로 발생 가능하다. 또한 스펙트럼 분석 시 777nm인 산소원자의 peak이 다른 원자 혹은 분자들의 peak보다 월등히 높다.

A low energy large aperture(LELA) pulsed electron beam generator of a cold cathode type has been developed for environmental applications, for example, waste water cleaning, flue gas cleaning, and pasteurization etc. The operational principle is based on the emission of secondary electrons from cold cathode when ions in the plasma hit the cathode, which are accelerated toward exit window by the gradient of an electric potential. We have fabricated the LELA electron beam generator with the peak energy of 200keV and beam diameter of 200mm and obtained the large aperture electron beam in air. The electron beam current density has been investigated as a function of glow discharge current, accelerating voltage and radial distribution in front of the exit window foil. The plasma density and electron temperature have been measured in order to confirm the relation with the electron beam current density. We are going to upgrade the LELA electron beam generator in the electron energy, electron beam current and stability of operation for various applications.

In this study, the mechanical properties of boronized 316L austenitic stainless steel have been investigated. Boronizing was carried out in solid medium consisting of Ekabor powder at $900^{\circ}C$ and $1000^{\circ}C$ for 2, 4 and 8 hours, respectively. The properties of sample were analyzed by field emission scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer, Glow discharge spectrometer, micro-hardness tester and ball-on-disk wear tester. Increasing the boronizing time and temperature, the hardness of boronized samples were shown over Hv 2000 and the thickness of boride layers were also increased linearly. XRD patterns of samples were revealed the presence of borides such as FeB, $Fe_2B$, CrB, $Cr_2B$ and $Ni_3B$. Friction coefficient of boronized STS 316L was shown the low value at $900^{\circ}C$ for 8 hours and $1000^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours, respectively.

The oxidizing power of ozone is the greatest of all commercially available oxidizers and thus ozone is taking the place of chlorine for water treatment. For energy-effective treatment of water, ozone should be generated in high concentration. A silent glow discharge ozonizer is high effective in industrial aspect and thus is the most widely used. We found that the key parameters associated with the ozone generation rate are the driving voltage of the discharger, the discharge rate and the temperature of the ozone generation tube. For an easy control of these parameters, we build a monitoring system with graphical user interface. This system is based on Windows-98 PC, programmed with C++ and LabView.

The polarizing film application exploits the unique physicochemical properties between PVA(Poly vinyl alcohol) film and CTA(Cellulose triacetate) film. However, hardly any research was aimed at improving the adhesion characteristics of the CTA film by radio frequency(RF) plasma treatment at argon(Ar) gaseous state. In this report, we deal with surface treatment technology for protective CTA film developed specifically for high adhesion applications. After Ar plasma, surface of the films is analyzed by atomic force microscopy(AFM), roughness parameter and peel strength. Furthermore, the wetting properties of the CTA film were studied by contact angle analysis. Results obtained for CTA films treated with a glow discharge showed that this technique is sensitive to newly created physical functions. The roughness and peel strength value increased with an increase in treatment time for initial treatment, but showed decreasing trend for continuous treatment time. The result of contact angle measurement refer that the hydrophilicity of surface was increased. AFM studies indicated that no considerable change of surface morphology occurred up to 3 minutes of treatment time, but a considerable uneven of surface structure resulted from treating time after 5 minutes.

Sintered LiF:Mg,Cu,Na,Si thermoluminescence (TL) pellets were developed for application in radiation dosimetry. In the present study, the TL dosimetric properties of LiF:Mg,Cu,Na,Si TL pellets have been investigated for emission spectrum, dose response, energy response, and fading characteristics. LiF:Mg,Cu,Na,Si TL pellets were made by using a sintering process, that is, pressing and heat treatment from TL powders. Photon irradiations for the experiments were carried out using X-ray beams and a $^{137}Cs$ gamma source at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). The average energies and the dose were in the range of 20-662 keV and $10^{-6}-10^{-2}\;Gy$, respectively. The glow curves were measured with a manual type TLD reader(System 310, Teledyne) at a constant nitrogen flux and a linear heating rate. For a constant heating rate of $5^{\circ}C\;s^{-1}$, the main dosimetric peak of glow curve appeared at $234^{\circ}C$, the activation energy was 2.34 eV and frequency factor was $1.00{\times}10^{23}$. TL emission spectrum is appeared at the blue region centered at 410 nm. A linearity of photon dose response was maintained up to 100 Gy. The photon energy responses relative to $^{137}Cs$ response were within ${\pm}20%$ at overall photon energy region. The fading of TL sensitivity of the pellets stored at the room temperature was not found for one year.
