  • In order to obtain guidelines for design and operation of a new plasma source by a magnetic neutral loop discharge(NLD), the electron behavior was studied experimentally and numerically. Experimentally, the magnetic field gradient was changed over a wide range, and it was found that there existed an optimum value for efficient plasma production. Analyses of the electron behavior were performed using a model that included effects of a three dimensional electromagnetic field configuration considering the spatial decay of the electric field, and the limitation to the motion of electron caused by the existence of walls and thus electron loss at wall surfaces. These three dimensional factors were found to explain the existence of the optimum magnetic field gradient. It was shown that the L dependence of the plasma production efficiency was firstly decided by the finite decay length of the electric field strength, which was further modified by electron elastic collisions with neutral atoms which drove the electron to walls. The latter effect tends to reduce the optimum value of L.

  • Nuclei with the spin quantum number not smaller than unity have not only the nuclear magnetic moment but also the electric quadrupole moment. The quadrupole moment couples with the electric field gradient (EFG) to produce the nuclear quadrupole interaction. It is well known that two independent parameters, i.e. the quadrupole coupling constant (QCC) and the asymmetry parameter ($\eta$) together with the principal axis directions can fully describe the interaction and are very sensitive to the local symmetry and structure of the solid. In order to obtain quantitative estimates of the EFG tensor for various simple ionic configurations surrounding the nucleus under consideration, we employ the simple point charge approximation and apply the calculated results to some real crystals. General agreement is rather satisfactory.

  • This paper presents an investigation into the magneto-thermo-mechanical vibration and damping of a viscoelastic functionally graded-carbon nanotubes (FG-CNTs)-reinforced curved microbeam based on Timoshenko beam and strain gradient theories. The structure is surrounded by a viscoelastic medium which is simulated with spring, damper and shear elements. The effective temperature-dependent material properties of the CNTs-reinforced composite beam are obtained using the extended rule of mixture. The structure is assumed to be subjected to a longitudinal magnetic field. The governing equations of motion are derived using Hamilton's principle and solved by employing differential quadrature method (DQM). The effect of various parameter like volume percent and distribution type of CNTs, temperature change, magnetic field, boundary conditions, material length scale parameter, central angle, viscoelastic medium and structural damping on the vibration and damping behaviors of the nanocomposite curved microbeam is examined. The results show that with increasing volume percent of CNTs and considering magnetic field, material length scale parameter and viscoelastic medium, the frequency of the system increases and critically damped situation occurs at higher values of damper constant. In addition, the structure with FGX distribution type of CNTs has the highest stiffness. It is also observed that increasing temperature, structural damping and central angle of curved microbeam decreases the frequency of the system.

  • This paper presents a two-paralleled four quadrant DC chopper type PWM power conversion circuit in order to generate a gradient magnetic field in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system. This circuit has 8-IGBTs at their inputs/outputs to realize further high-power density, high speed current tracking control, and to get a low switching ripple amplitude in a controlled current in the Gradient Coils (GCs). Moreover, the power conversion circuit has to realize quick rise/fall response characteristics in proportion to various target currents in GCs. It is proposed in this paper that a unique control scheme can achieve the above objective DSP-based control system realize a high control facility and accuracy. It is proved that the new control system will greatly enlarge the diagnostic target and improve the image quality of MRI.

  • A SQUID magnetometer or a SQUID gradiometer can be used to measure the field or gradient distribution respectively. We describe the magnetic dipole model of the eddy current for the nondestructive evaluation. Such a theoretical calculation of the magnetic dipole field produced by a deep flaw in matalic materials can be used for aerospace and transportation fields.

  • 이 논문에서는 타원 기둥 형태의 이상체에 의한 자력 벡터와 자력 변화율 텐서 반응식을 유도하였다. 화성암 관입이나 킴벌라이트 구조 등은 축 대칭성을 가지면서 주향 방향과 수직한 방향의 반지름이 서로 다른 타원 기둥 형태를 가지는 경우가 많다. 이런 타원 기둥의 자력 반응은 이전 논문에서 유도한 중력 변화율 텐서에 자화 방향에 대한 정보를 포함시킨 포아송 관계식을 이용하여 유도하였다. 타원 기둥의 자력 변화율 텐서는 벡터 자력을 미분하여 유도하는데 삼중 적분으로 표현되는 타원 기둥의 인력 퍼텐셜을 각 축방향으로 3회 미분한 총 10개의 삼중 미분 함수를 구하는 것과 동일하다. 미분과 적분의 순서는 바꾸는 것이 가능하므로 결과적으로 자력 변화율 텐서는 타원 기둥의 인력 퍼텐셜을 3회 미분한 후, 깊이 방향으로 적분하고 나머지 이중 적분은 복소 평면에서 타원 기둥의 단면을 폐곡선으로 하는 경로를 따라 선적분으로 변환하여 유도된다. 이 논문에서 복소 평면에서 선적분으로 유도한 자력 및 자력 변화율 텐서 반응식은 립쉬츠-한켈 적분으로 유도한 원기둥의 자력 및 자력 변화율 텐서 반응식과 완벽하게 일치함을 보였다.

  • 목적: 이 연구의 목적은 excitation pulse profile을 이용하여 불균일 자장에 의하여 발생하는 배경 경사 자장에 의한 영향을 보상하여 2차원 다중 단면 경사에코 간 영상에서의 정확한 지방 및 $T_2{^*}$ 측정을 하는 데에 있다. 대상과 방법: 2차원 경사에코영상에서 불균일 자장에 의한 배경경사자장으로 인하여 유도되는 신호의 감소는 excitation pulse profile weighting으로 나타난다. 이에 의한 영향을 최소화 하기 위하여 $B_0$ field map을 통하여 단면선택방향으로의 선형 경사자장의 정도를 추정한 후, 획득한 신호를 excitation pulse profile을 이용하여 보정하였다. $T_2{^*}$ 및 지방은 보정된 신호로부터 측정되었으며 보정방법은 3.0T 임상용 장비에서 팬텀 및 in vivo 실험을 통하여 이루어 졌다. 결과: 팬텀 실험 결과는 보정 후 측정된 $T_2{^*}$ 및 지방의 양이 자장이 균일한 경우에 가까워 진 것을 보여 주었다. In vivo 실험에서는 간에서 배경경사자장의 크기가 약 120 ${\mu}T/m$ 정도 까지로 나타났으며 보정하기 전에 비하여 측정된 $T_2{^*}$ 및 지방의 정도의 균일도가 높아지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론: Excitation pulse profile을 이용한 배경경사자장 보정 방법은 경사 에코 신호에서의 거시적인 불균일 자장에 의한 영향을 줄여 주며 2차원 간 영상에서의 적용을 통하여 보다 정확한 지방 및 $T_2{^*}$의 측정에 도움이 될 수 있다.
