  • A 2.45 GHz electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma source with a belt magnet assembly configuration (BMC) was developed for hyperthermal neutral beam (HNB) generation. A plasma source for high flux HNB generation should be satisfied with the requirements: low pressure operation, high density, and thin plasma. The ECR plasma source with BMC achieved high density at low operation pressure due to electron confinement enhancement caused by high mirror ratio and drifts in toroidal direction. The 2.45 GHz microwave launcher had a circularly bended WR340 waveguide with slits. The microwave E-field profile induced by the microwave launcher was studied in this paper. The E-field profile was a cups field perpendicular to B-filed at ECR zone. The optimized E-field profile and B-field were found for effective ECR heating.

  • 기존의 PECVD에서 문제시 되고 있는 플라즈마에 의한 박막손상과 $300^{\circ}C$ 이상의 증착온도 등의 단점을 보완한 증착 기술로 중성입자 빔 (Hyper-thermal neutral beam ; HNB)을 이용한 저온 증착방법에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 중성빔을 이용하여 HNB sputtering 방법과 $SiH_4$와 Ar, $H_2$ 가스를 이용한 HNB CVD 방법으로 a-Si 박막 제작에 대한 연구를 진행하였고, HIT(heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin layer) cell 태양전지를 만들고자 기본적인 박막 증착과 박막 특성 및 계면특성 등의 분석을 실시하였다. 유리기판과 p-type Si 기판 위에 a-Si 및 nc-Si 박막을 증착하였으며, TEM, FTIR, Raman, IV 측정 등을 통해 그 특성을 분석하여 HNB의 특성 및 효과를 규명하였다.

  • Hyperthermal ion/surface collisions of bromotoluene radical cations were studied using perfluorinated (F-SAM) and hydroxyl-terminated (OH-SAM) self-assembled monolayer surfaces in a tandem mass spectrometer with BEEQ geometry. The isomers were differentiated by ion abundance ratios taken from surface-induced dissociation (SID). The dissociation rate followed the order of ortho > meta > para isomers. The peak abundance ratio of m/z 51 to m/z 65 showed the best result to discern the isomers. A dissociation channel leading to tolylium ion was suggested to be responsible for the pronounced isomeric differences. The capability of SID to provide high-energy activation with narrow internal energy distribution may have channeled the reaction into the specific dissociation pathway, also facilitating small differences in reaction rates to be effective in the spectral time window of this experiment. All of the molecular ions experiencing reactive collisions with the F-SAM surface undergo transhalogenation, in which a fluorine atom on the surface replaces the bromine in the incoming ions. This reactive collision was dependent on the laboratory collision energy occurring in ca. 40.75 eV range.

  • In an attempt to understand the nature of hyperthermal ion-surface collisions, noble gas ion beams (He+, Ne+, Ar+, and Xe+) are scattered from a Si(100) surface for collision energies of 20-300 eV and for 45°incidence angle. The scattered ions are mass-analyzed using a quadrupole mass spectrometer and their kinetic energy is measured in a time-of-flight mode. The scattering event for He+ and Ne+ can be approximated as a sequence of quasi-binary collisions with individual Si atoms for high collision energies (Ei > 100 eV), but it becomes of a many-body nature for lower energies, Ar+ and Xe+ ions undergo mutliple large impact parameter collisions with the surface atoms. The effective mass of a surface that these heavy ions experience during the collision increases drastically for low beam energies.

  • Since it is difficult to extract a high flux ion beam directly at an energy of hyperthermal range ($1{\sim}100\;eV$), especially, lower than 50 eV, the ions should be neutralized into neutral particles and extracted as a neutral beam. A plasma source required to generate and efficiently transport high flux hyperthermal neutral beams should be easily scaled up and produce a high ion density (${\ge}10^{11}\;cm^{-3}$) even at a low working pressure (${\le}$ 0.3 mTorr). It is suggested that the required plasma source can be realized by Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) plasmas with diverse magnetic field configurations of permanent magnets such as a planar ECR plasma source with magnetron field configuration and cylindrical one with axial magnetic fields produced by permanent magnet arrays around chamber wall. In both case of the ECR sources, the electron confinement is based on the simple mirror field structure and efficiently enhanced by electron drifts for producing the high density plasma even at the low pressure.

  • Erythromelalgia is a rare neurovascular pain syndrome characterized by a triad of redness, increased temperature, and burning pain primarily in the extremities. Erythromelalgia can present as a primary or secondary form, and secondary erythromelalgia associated with a myeloproliferative disease such as essential thrombocythemia often responds dramatically to aspirin therapy, as in the present case. Herein, we describe a typical case of a 48-year-old woman with secondary erythromelalgia linked to essential thrombocythemia in the unilateral hand. As this case demonstrates, detecting and visualizing the hyperthermal area through infrared thermography of an erythromelalgic patient can assist in diagnosing the patient, assessing the therapeutic results, and understanding the disease course of erythromelalgia.
