Pristine ZnO, 3 wt.% Ga-doped (3GZO) and 3 wt.% Ag-doped (3SZO) ZnO nanowires (NWs) were grown using the hot-walled pulse laser deposition (HW-PLD) technique. The doping of Ga and Ag in ZnO NWs was observed by analyzing the optical and chemical properties. We optimized the synthesis conditions, including processing temperature, time, gas flow, and distance between target and substrate for the growth of pristine and doped ZnO NWs. The diameter and length of pristine and doped ZnO NWs were controlled under 200 nm and several ${\mu}m$, respectively. Low temperature photoluminescence (PL) was performed to observe the optical property of doped NWs. We clearly observed the shift of the near band edge (NBE) emission by using low temperature PL. In the case of 3GZO and 3SZO NWs, the center photon energy of the NBE emissions shifted to low energy direction using the Burstein Moss effect. A strong donor-bound exciton peak was found in 3 GZO NWs, while an acceptor-bound exciton peak was found in 3SZO NWs. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) also indicated that the shift of binding energy was mainly attributed to the interaction between the metal ion and ZnO NWs.

The electrical characteristics of solid state devices such as the bipolar junction transistor (BJT), metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET), and other active devices are altered by impinging photon radiation and temperature in the space environment. In this paper, the threshold voltage, the breakdown voltage, and the on-resistance for two kinds of MOSFETs (200 V and 100 V of $V_{DSS}$) are tested for ${\gamma}-irradiation$ and compared with the electrical specifications under the pre- and post-irradiation low dose rates of 4.97 and 9.55 rad/s as well as at a maximum total dose of 30 krad. In our experiment, the ${\gamma}-radiation$ facility using a low dose, available at Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI), has been applied on two commercially available International Rectifier (IR) products, IRFP250 and IRF540.

Photostimulated Luminescence (PSL), Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) and Thermoluminescence (TL) analysis were conducted to detect irradiation treatment of imported whole and ground spices. The screening by PSL detected no irradiation treatment, except un the ground thyme and bay leaves which exhibited photon counts in the intermediate level. Irradiation of the two spices was detected after irradiating them at 1.0, 3.0, 5.0 and 10.0 kGy, and then subjecting them to PSL analysis, which resulted in the significantly low photons of non-irradiated spices compared to that at 1.0 kGy, indicating that the photon counts varied depending on the amount of inorganic mineral debris in the spices. To confirm a successful detection by using PSL, ESR and TL methods, some spices were selected, irradiated at 5.0 and 10.0 kGy, and subjected to the detection methods. PSL identified the irradiated spices except the cassia, which showed very weak PSL sensitivity, but was identified by ESR analysis. Also, the ESR and TL exhibited the typical signals induced by irradiation treatment and were able to successfully detect all of the irradiated spices. In addition, we found a positive correlation between the intensity of ESR and TL signals and irradiation doses.

유방촬영술은 유방암의 조기검진을 위해 시행되는 대표적인 검사이다. 하지만 유방 구성물질의 물리적 특성에 의존하는 유방촬영상은 병변의 악성 또는 양성 여부에 대한 정보 제공이 불가능하다. 이중에너지 영상 감산법을 시행하는 경우 유방촬영상에서 특정 물질에 대한 정보를 추출할 수 있지만 피폭선량을 증가시킬 뿐만 아니라 물질분리의 정확도를 감소시키는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 물질의 선감약계수를 적용한 유방팬텀을 모사하여 광자계수검출기 기반 이중에너지 유방촬영에서 특정 물질에 대한 가중함수를 적용하여 분리의 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있는 기술을 제안하였다. 그리고 유방팬텀영상으로부터 물질분리의 정확도를 평가하기 위해 대조도 및 잡음 특성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 이중에너지 가중 영상 감산법의 악성종양에 대한 대조도는 일반적인 유방촬영과 이중에너지 영상 감산법에 비해 각각 0.98, 1.06배로 큰 차이가 없다. 그렇지만 이중에너지 가중 영상 감산법 적용 시 양성종양에 대한 대조도가 0에 근사하기 때문에 양성종양에 대한 악성종양의 상대적인 대조도가 13.54배로 크게 향상된 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제안하는 이중에너지 가중 영상 감산법은 유방촬영 진단의 정확도 향상에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

수산 자숙액의 조사 여부를 판별하기 위해 물리적(PSL, TL) 및 화학적(hydrocarbon 분석) 검지 시험을 진행하였다. 10 kGy까지의 감마선 조사를 적용한 자숙액을 PSL법으로 측정하였을 때, 모든 자숙액에서 260~510의 photon counts를 나타내어 자숙액의 방사선조사 여부의 확인 방법으로서 PSL은 적용 가능성이 낮다고 사료되었다. 수산 자숙액에 TL법을 적용한 결과 톳 및 문어 자숙액의 경우 방사선 조사한 자숙액에서 150~250$^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 특정한 glow curve가 나타났으므로 방사선조사 여부를 확인하는데 적용이 가능할 것이라고 사료된다. 참치 자숙액의 경우 감마선조사에 의해 유래되는 hydrocarbon은 검출되지 않았는데, 이는 참치 가공에서 부산물로 얻어지는 자숙액의 낮은 지방산 함량과 자숙 공정에 따른 상이한 지방산 조성에서 비롯한 것이라고 사료된다.

자체흡수는 환경 시료의 감마 분광 측정 정확도에 영향을 미치는 가장 중요한 요소이다. 특히, 샘플의 화학적 구성, 기하학적 모양, 두께, 밀도, 원자 번호, 샘플과 검출기 사이의 거리, 방출된 감마 광자의 에너지 및 샘플 내 습도 계수 또는 백분율과 같은 기타 요인에 의해 영향을 받는다. 보정 방법을 테스트하기 450 ml CRM 표준선원(9개 핵종) 마리넬리 비커를 사용하였다. 보정된 값들을 적용하여 환경시료 중 토양시료 5개를 밀도별로 측정하였다. 따라서, 자체흡수 값은 다소 크고 낮은 광자 에너지에 더 효과적임을 알 수 있다. 환경 시료의 경우 선원자체 흡수를 통한 전체 에너지 피크 효율은 샘플의 밀도에 크게 의존함을 확인하였다.

X-rays contribute to electron emission from material surfaces primarily through photoelectric interaction. A simple model is described for predicting the yield and energy spectrum of photon and Auger electrons emitted from materials exposed to X-ray with low energy. In this paper, We have calculated the yield of primary, Auger, and secondary, electrons. The results of the photoelectric yield model developed here suggests that. I) The angular distribution of emitted electrons(Per unit angle) is proportional to $sin{\theta}\;cos{\theta}$ for all electron energies and all components(Primary, Auger, or Secondary) II) The shape of the energy spectrum of the photoelectric yield is independent of angle. III) For this targets the forward and backward photoelectric yields are indentical.

Background: Ecophysiological characteristics of Rosa rugosa were analyzed under different environmental factors from May to October 2022. Photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence, chlorophyll content, leaf water content (LWC), osmolality, carbohydrate content, and total ion content were measured to compare the physiological characteristics of R. rugosa at two study sites (i.e., in large pots and in the Goraebul coastal sand dune area). Results: When R. rugosa was exposed to high temperatures, photosynthetic parameters including net photosynthetic rate (P_N) and stomatal conductance (g_s) in both experiment areas declined. In addition, severe photoinhibition occurs when R. rugosa is continuously exposed to high photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), and because of this, relatively low Y(II) (i.e., the quantum yield of photochemical energy conversion in photosystem II [PSII]) and high Y(NO) (i.e., the quantum yield of non-regulated, non-photochemical energy loss in PSII) in the R. rugosa of the pot were observed. As the high Y(NPQ) (i.e., the quantum yield of regulated non-photochemical energy loss in PSII) of R. rugosa in the coastal sand dune, they dissipated the excessed photon energy through the non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) mechanism when they were exposed to relatively low PAR and low temperature. Rosa rugosa in the coastal sand dune has higher chlorophyll a and carotenoid content. The high chlorophyll a + b and low chlorophyll a/b ratios seemed to optimize light absorption in response to low PAR. High carotenoid content played an important role in NPQ. As a part of the osmotic regulation in response to low LWCs, R. rugosa exposed to high temperatures and continuously high PAR used soluble carbohydrates and ions to maintain high osmolality. Conclusions: We found that F_v/F_m was lower in the potted plants than in the coastal sand dune plants, indicating the vulnerability of R. rugosa to high temperatures and PAR levels. We expect that the suitable habitat range for R. rugosa will shrink and move to north under climate change conditions.

We examine dosimetry application of irradiated D-fructose materials using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Consequently, we consider that fructose is one of best dosimetry materials. We found that fructose is one of best candidates for dosimetry due to high linearity tilt of EPR signal intensity as a function of dose, irrelevant to photon energy, constant fading value. Also, our results show that fructose materials can be applied as a radiation detector to very weak radiation doses of 0.001 Gray by using EPR at a low temperature (T = 220 K).

The photoluminescence and the photo-current from p-type GaN films were investigated on both room- and low-temperatures for various Mg doping concentrations. At a low Mg doping level, there exists a photoluminescence center of the donor and the acceptor pair transition of the 3.28-eV band. This center is correlated with the defects for a shallow donor of the VGa and for an acceptor of MgGa. The acceptor level shows the binding energy of 0.2-0.25 eV, which was observed by the photon energy of the photo-current signal of 3.02-3.31 eV. At a high Mg doping level, there is a photoluminescence center of a deep donor and an acceptor pair transition of the 2.76-eV blue band. This center is attributed to the defect structures of MgGa-VN for the deep donor and MgGa for the acceptor. For low. doped samples, thermal annealing provides an additional photo-current signal for an unoccupied deep acceptor levels of 0.87-1.35 eV above valence band, indicating the p-type activation.
