Heavy ions have a high potential for destroying deep tumors that carry the highest dose at the peak of Bragg. The peak caused by a single-energy carbon beam is too narrow, which requires special measures for improvement. Here, carbon-12 (¹²C) ion with different energies has been used as a source for calculating the dose distribution in the water phantom, soft tissue and bone by the code of Monte Carlobased FLUKA code. By increasing the energy of the initial beam, the amount of absorbed dose at Bragg peak in all three targets decreased, but the trend for this reduction was less severe in bone. While the maximum absorbed dose per bone-mass unit in energy of 200 MeV/u was about 30% less than the maximum absorbed dose per unit mass of water or soft tissue, it was merely 2.4% less than soft tissue in 400 MeV/u. The simulation result showed a good agreement with experimental data at GSI Darmstadt facility of biophysics group by 0.15 cm average accuracy in Bragg peak positioning. From 200 to 400 MeV/u incident energy, the Bragg peak location increased about 18 cm in soft tissue. Correspondingly, the bone and soft tissue revealed a reduction dose ratio by 2.9 and 1.9. Induced neutrons did not contribute more than 1.8% to the total energy deposited in the water phantom. Also during ¹²C ion bombardment, secondary fragments showed 76% and 24% of primary 200 and 400 MeV/u, respectively, were present at the Bragg-peak position. The combined treatment of carbon ions with neutron or electron beams may be more effective in local dose delivery and also treating malignant tumors.

Synthetic polymers such as polyimide, polycarbonate, and poly(methyl methacrylate) are long chain molecules which consist of carbon, hydrogen, and heteroatom linked together chemically. Recently, polymer surface can be modified by using a high energy ion beam process. High energy ions are introduced into polymer structure with high velocity and provide a high degree of chemical bonding between molecular chains. In high energy beam process the modified polymers have the highly crosslinked three-dimensionally connected rigid network structure and they showed significant improvements in electrical conductivity, in hardness and in resistance to wear and chemicals. Polyimide films (Kapton, types HN) with thickness of 50~100${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ were used for investigations. They were treated with two different surface modification techniques: Plasma Source Ion Implantation (PSII) and conventional Ion Implantation. Polyimide films were implanted with different ion species such as Ar+, N+, C+, He+, and O+ with dose from 1 x 1015 to 1 x 1017 ions/cm2. Ion energy was varied from 10keV to 60keV for PSII experiment. Polyimide samples were also implanted with 1 MeV hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen ions with a dose of 1x1015ions/cm2. This work provides the possibility for inducing conductivity in polyimide films by ion beam bombardment in the keloelectronvolt to megaelectronvolt energy range. The electrical properties of implanted polyimide were determined by four-point probe measurement. Depending on ion energy, doses, and ion type, the surface resistivity of the film is reduced by several orders of magnitude. Ion bombarded layers were characterized by Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (TOF-SIMS), XPS, and SEM.

목적 : $[^{18}F]F_2\;(T_{1/2}=110\;min)$ 기체를 이용하여 친전자성 치환반응으로 방사성동위원소 $^{18}F$을 표지하는 방법은 새로운 앙전자방출단층촬영용 방사성의약품 개발 분야에서 유용하게 이용되고 있다. 그림에도 불구하고 $[^{18}F]F_2$를 높은 생산수율과 비방사능으로 생산하기 위한 표적 개발 연구는 아직도 진행 중에 있다. 본 연구에서는 친핵성 치환반응으로 $^{18}F$을 도입하기 어려운 방사성의약품에 친전자성 치환반응으로 방사성동위원소를 도입할 수 있는 $[^{18}F]F_2$ 가스의 효율적인 생산에 관해 연구하였다. 대상 및 방법: 표적은 원추형 모양의 알루미늄 재질로 제작하였다. $[^{18}F]F_2$ 생산을 위한 핵반응으로 $^{18}O(p,n)^{18}F$를 사용하였으며, two-step 빔 조사방법을 이용하였다. 첫 번째 조사는 농축 $[^{18}O]O_2$가스를 표적에 충진한 후 빔 조사하여 $^{18}O(p,n)^{18}F$ 핵반응을 일으킴으로써 $^{18}F$를 생산한다. 생산된 $^{18}F$은 표적 챔버 기벽에 흡착된다. $[^{18}O]O_2$은 재사용을 위하여 냉각포획법으로 회수하였으며, $^{18}F$를 회수하기 위해 $[^{19}F]F_2/Ar$ 가스를 충진한 후, 두 번째 빔을 조사하여 방사성불소를 회수하는 방법으로 구성된다. 본 연구에서는 최적의 방사성불소 생산 조건을 찾기 위해 빔 조사 시간, 빔 전류 세기 농축 $[^{18}O]O_2$ 충진 압력 등의 변화에 따라 생산량을 평가하였다. 결과: 빔 조사 시간, 빔 전류, 농축 $[^{18}O]O_2$ 충진 압력 등의 조건을 변화시키면서 생산량을 평가한 결과 최적의 빔 조사 조건은 다음과 같다. 첫 번째 조사: 농축 $[^{18}O]O_2$을 약 15.0 bar충진, 13.2 MeV, 30 ${\mu}A$로 60-90분 조사; 두 번째 조사: 1% $[^{19}F]F_2/Ar$혼합가스 12.0 bar 충진, 13.2 MeV, 30 ${\mu}A$로 20-30분 조사 후 아르곤 가스로 회수하였을 때 EOB(end of bombardment) 기준으로 약 $34{\pm}6.0$ GBq(n>10)의 $[^{18}F]F_2$를 얻었다. 결론: $^{18}O(p,n)^{18}F$ 핵반응을 이용하여 친전자성 방사성동위원소 $[^{18}F]F_2$를 생산하였다. 표적 챔버는 알루미늄으로 제작하였으며 본 연구에서 연구된 $[^{18}F]F_2$가스는 친핵성 치환반응으로 방사성동위원소를 도입하기 어려운 다양한 방사성의 약품개발에 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

We studied the hydrogen-bonded $TlH_2PO_4$ (TDP) ferroelectrics treated with the proton-beam bombardment. The TDP material was irradiated with 1-MeV proton beam at a dose of $10^{15}/cm^2$. In order to analyze the hydrogen environment in TDP, we carried out the $^1H$ high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) - i.e., Combined Rotation And Multiple Pulse Spectroscopy (CRAMPS) measurement. The isotropic chemical shift of hydrogen indicates its displacive property is related to the $PO_4$ lattice deformation which occurs throughout the antiferroelectric-, the ferroelastic- and the paraelastic-phase transitions. The temperature dependence of $\sigma_{iso}$ reveals the electronic charge redistribution is induced by the proton-beam irradiation and the elastic property.
