Magnetic transmission soft X-ray microscopy has been used to study element-specifically the magnetization reversal behavior of ${(Co_{84}Cr_{16})}_{87}Pt_{l3}$ alloy thin films with a lateral resolution of 35 nm. Our results indicate that the magnetization switching is carried out by a random nucleation process that can be attributed to the reversal of individual grains. We found evidence of a large distribution of the switching fields at the nanogranular length scale, which has to be considered seriously for applications of CoCrPt systems as magnetic high density storage materials.

We propose a new variant of lateral shearing interferometer with a tunable laser source that enables 3D surface profile measurements of freeform optics with high speed, high vertical resolution, large departure, and large field-of-view. We have verified the proposed technique by comparing our measurement result with that of an existing technique and measuring a representative sample of freeform optics. Moreover, we propose a new algorithm that is able to compensate the rotational inaccuracy.

본 연구에서는 CCHE2D와 EFDC모형을 이용한 모의를 통하여 격자의 횡단해상도에 따른 물리적 지형의 재현성과 모의결과에 대한 영향을 검토하고자 하였다. 낙동강 금호강 유입구간을 대상으로 2006년 강우사상에 대한 부정류모의를 통하여 면적고도곡선과 대상구간내 수위관측소 지점에서의 실측치와 모의치간의 비교를 통하여 구성격자망의 적정성 및 모의결과에 대한 영향을 각각 검토하였다. 일반적으로 격자 해상도의 증가는 계산시간의 증가를 야기하므로 수행 내용과 목적, 계산의 효율성 측면에서 적절한 격자해상도의 선택이 필요하다. 정밀한 모의를 위해서는 고해상도 격자를 이용한 모의를 수행해야 하나, 빠른 의사결정이 요구되는 홍수기와 같이 모형수행의 효율성을 고려해야 하는 경우에 적용 가능한 물리적 지형의 재현성과 결과에 대한 신뢰성을 보장할 수 있는 적정 격자 해상도가 존재함을 확인할 수 있었다.

The direct write FIB technology has several advantages over contemporary micro-machining technology, including better feature resolution with low lateral scattering and capability of maskless fabrication. Therefore, the application of FIB technology in micro fabrication has become increasingly popular. In recent model of FIB, however the feeding system has been a very coarse resolution of about a few ${\mu}m$. Our research is the development of nano stage of 200mm strokes and 10nm resolutions. Also, this stage should be effectively operating in ultra high vacuum of about $1x10^{-7}$ torr. This paper presents the discussion and results of CAE of the 2 axes stages. we have estimated the stable static and dynamic characteristics for dual servo system. Therefore the 2 axes stages developed and future work are introduced at the end of the paper.

합성 싱크 음장은 선형지연을 가지는 펄스 평면파를 송신한다. 송신집속은 각각 다른 시간에 송신된 진행방향이 다른 평면파들에 대한 수신신호를 모두 저장하고 있다가 합성집속 방법을 이용한다 이러한 송신 집속 방법은 송신시 전체의 소자를 동시에 사용함으로 높은 SNR을 얻을수 있고. 양방향 동적집속이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 합성싱크음장 집속방법을 구현하기위한 문제점을 고찰하고, 5MHz의 선형변환기를 이용한 초음파 영상진단기에서 펜텀과 인체의 영상에 대하여 합성싱크음장 집속방법을 실험으로 검증하였다 펜텀 영상의 경우 기존의 방법에 비하여 더 좋은 해상도로 더 깊이 영상화 할 수 있었다. 인체 영상의 경우 인체의 움직임과 위상수차(phase aberration) 등으로 인한 효과로 해상도는 떨어지지만. 기존의 집속방법에 대하여 5배 이상의 frame 율의 속도로 영상을 얻어도 기존의 방법과 비슷한 해상도를 얻을 수 있었다

A novel scanning probe measurement system was developed to enable precise profile measurements of microaspheric surfaces. An air-bearing stylus with a microprobe was used to perform the surface profile scanning. The new system worked in a contact mode and had the capability of measuring micro-aspheric surfaces with large tilt angles and complex profiles. Due to limitations resulting from the contact mode, such as possible damage caused by the contact force and lateral resolution restrictions from the curvature of the probe tip, several system improvements were implemented. An air bearing was used to suspend the shaft of the probe to reduce the contact force, enabling fine adjustments of the contact force by changing the air pressure. The movement of the shaft was measured by a linear encoder with a scale attached to the actual shaft to avoid Abbe errors. A $50-{\mu}m-diameter$ glass sphere was bonded to the tip of the probe to improve the lateral resolution of the system. The maximum contact force of the probe was 10 mN. The shaft was capable of holding the probe continuously if the contact force was less than 40 mN, and the resolution of the probe could be as high as 10 nm, The performance of the new scanning probe measurement system was verified by experimental data.

Metamaterials, artificially structured nanomaterials, have enabled unprecedented phenomena such as invisibility cloaking and negative refraction. Especially, hyperbolic metamaterials also known as indefinite metamaterials have unique dispersion relation where the principal components of its permittivity tensors are not all with the same signs and magnitudes. Such extraordinary dispersion relation results in hyperbolic dispersion relations which lead to a number of interesting phenomena, such as super-resolution effect which transfers evanescent waves to propagating waves at its interface with normal materials and, the propagation of electromagnetic waves with very large wavevectors comparing they are evanescent waves and thus decay quickly in natural materials. In this abstract, I will focus discussing our efforts in achieving the unique optical property overcoming diffraction limit to achieve several extraordinary metamaterials and metadevices demonstration. First, I will present super-resolution imaging device called "hyperlens", which is the first experimental demonstration of near- to far-field imaging at visible light with resolution beyond the diffraction limit in two lateral dimensions. Second, I will show another unique application of metamaterials for miniaturizing optical cavity, a key component to make lasers, into the nanoscale for the first time. It shows the cavity array which successfully captured light in 20nm dimension and show very high figure of merit experimentally. Last, I will discuss the future direction of the hyperbolic metamaterial and outlook for the practical applications. I believe our efforts in sub-wavelength metamaterials having such extraordinary optical properties will lead to further advanced nanophotonics and nanooptics research.

Photonic force microscopy (PFM) is an optical tweezers-based scanning probe microscopy, which measures the forces in the range of fN to pN. The low stiffness leads proper to measure single molecular interaction. We introduce a novel photonic force microscopy to stably map various chemical properties as well as topographic information, utilizing weak molecular bond between probe and object's surface. First, we installed stable optical tweezers instrument, where an IR laser with 1064 nm wavelength was used as trapping source to reduce damage to biological sample. To manipulate trapped material, electric driven two-axis mirrors were used for x, y directional probe scanning and a piezo stage for z directional probe scanning. For resolution test, probe scans with vertical direction repeatedly at the same lateral position, where the vertical resolution is ~25 nm. To obtain the topography of surface which is etched glass, trapped bead scans 3-dimensionally and measures the contact position in each cycle. To acquire the chemical mapping, we design the DNA oligonucleotide pairs combining as a zipping structure, where one is attached at the surface of bead and other is arranged on surface. We measured the rupture force of molecular bonding to investigate chemical properties on the surface with various loading rate. We expect this system can realize a high-resolution multi-functional imaging technique able to acquire topographic map of objects and to distinguish difference of chemical properties between these objects simultaneously.

Optical imaging modalities with properties of real-time, non-invasive, in vivo, and high resolution for image-guided surgery have been widely studied. In this review, we introduce two optical imaging systems, that could be the core of image-guided surgery and introduce the system configuration, implementation, and operation methods. First, we introduce the optical coherence tomography (OCT) system implemented by our research group. This system is implemented based on a swept-source, and the system has an axial resolution of 11 ㎛ and a lateral resolution of 22 ㎛. Second, we introduce a fluorescence imaging system. The fluorescence imaging system was implemented based on the absorption and fluorescence wavelength of indocyanine green (ICG), with a light-emitting diode (LED) light source. To confirm the performance of the two imaging systems, human malignant melanoma cells were injected into BALB/c nude mice to create a xenograft model and using this, OCT images of cancer and pathological slide images were compared. In addition, in a mouse model, an intravenous injection of indocyanine green was used with a fluorescence imaging system to detect real-time images moving along blood vessels and to detect sentinel lymph nodes, which could be very important for cancer staging. Finally, polarization-sensitive OCT to find the boundaries of cancer in real-time and real-time image-guided surgery using a developed contrast agent and fluorescence imaging system were introduced.
