We explore how wave-particle interactions affect diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) at astrophysical shocks by performing time-dependent kinetic simulations, in which phenomenological models for magnetic field amplification (MFA), Alfv$\acute{e}$nic drift, thermal leakage injection, Bohm-like diffusion, and a free escape boundary are implemented. If the injection fraction of cosmic-ray (CR) particles is ${\xi}$ > $2{\times}10^{-4}$, for the shock parameters relevant for young supernova remnants, DSA is efficient enough to develop a significant shock precursor due to CR feedback, and magnetic field can be amplified up to a factor of 20 via CR streaming instability in the upstream region. If scattering centers drift with Alfv$\acute{e}$n speed in the amplified magnetic field, the CR energy spectrum can be steepened significantly and the acceleration efficiency is reduced. Nonlinear DSA with self-consistent MFA and Alfv$\acute{e}$nic drift predicts that the postshock CR pressure saturates roughly at ~10 % of the shock ram pressure for strong shocks with a sonic Mach number ranging $20{\leq}M_s{\leq}100$. Since the amplified magnetic field follows the flow modification in the precursor, the low energy end of the particle spectrum is softened much more than the high energy end. As a result, the concave curvature in the energy spectra does not disappear entirely even with the help of Alfv$\acute{e}$nic drift. For shocks with a moderate Alfv$\acute{e}$n Mach number ($M_A$ < 10), the accelerated CR spectrum can become as steep as $E^{-2.1}$ - $E^{-2.3}$, which is more consistent with the observed CR spectrum and gamma-ray photon spectrum of several young supernova remnants.

This study investigated the decomposition activities of toluene on 10 mol% Al-W-incorporated mesoporous titano (15 mol %) silicates. The mesopore sizes observed in the transmission electron microscopy images ranged from 2.0 to 5.0 nm, and the pores were irregular on the addition of 10 mol% Al or W ions, but changed to regular hexagonal forms with the simultaneous additions of Al and W. The X-ray photon spectroscopy results showed a shift of the special peak for Ti2p in Al-incorporated mesoporous titanosilicates to a stronger binding energy compared to those of mesoporous titanosilicates and Al-incorporated mesoporous titanosilicates. Three O1s peaks in the spectra of the Al and W coexisted samples were observed at 530.5 and 531.7, 533, and 533.7eV, which were assigned to $Ti-Os\;in\;TiO_2\;and\;Ti_2O_3,\;Si-O\;in\;SiO_2\;and\;Al-O\;in\;Al_2O_3$, respectively. The toluene molecules desorbed at lower temperatures over W-incorporated mesoporous titanosilicates, and the amounts of toluene desorbed were also small; however, Al-incorporated mesoporous titanosilicates adsorbed much more toluene, particular over $Al_7.5-W_2.5-Ti_15-Si_75$. The photocatalytic decomposition of toluene was more enhanced over $Al_7.5-W_2.5-Ti_15-Si_75$ than over Al- or W-incorporated mesoporous titanosilicates only.

수 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 이상의 두께를 가지는 비교적 두꺼운 박막의 경우 박막에 의한 간섭효과로 인하여 나타나는 반사율 스펙트럼에서의 진동주기로부터 막의 두께를 얻는다. 대개 빠른 데이터 처리를 위해서 고속 푸리에 변환(Fast Fourier Transformation, FFI)을 사용하여 진동주기(또는 진동수)를 구한다. 본 연구에서는 반사율 또는 투과율 스펙트럼을 빛의 에너지 축상에서 푸리에 변환하는 종래의 방법을 개선하여 박막의 굴절률 분산을 반영하는 수정된 고속 푸리에 변환 방법을 최초로 도입하였다. 이 새로운 방법은 굴절률 분산에서 유래하는 유효굴절률 결정에서의 오차를 줄여주고 푸리에 변환 피크의 폭 넓어짐을 막아줌으로써 막 두께 결정의 정밀도를 크게 향상시킨다. 수정된 고속 푸리에 변환방법을 80 $\mu\textrm{m}$의 덮게층과 13 $\mu\textrm{m}$의 사이층이 있는 시료의 반사 스펙트럼에 적용하여 고 타당성을 확인하였다.

The Origanum vulgare L.-mediated synthesis of Ag nanoparticles was successfully realized within the present study. Various concentrations of the $AgNO_3$ used as a silver precursor (1, 2.5, 5, 10 and 100 mM) were used. Very rapid formation of Ag nanoparticles was observed, as only minutes were necessary for the completion of the reaction. With the increasing concentration, red shift of the surface plasmon resonance peak was observed in the Vis spectra. According to photon cross-correlation spectroscopy results, the finest grain size distribution was obtained for the 2.5 mM sample. The transmission electron microscopy analysis of this sample has shown bimodal size distribution with larger crystallites with 100 nm size and smaller around 10 nm. The antibacterial activity was also the best for this sample so the positive correlation between good grain size distribution and antibacterial activity was found. The in-depth discussion of antibacterial activity with related works from the materials science point of view is provided, namely emphasizing the role of effective nanoparticles distribution within the plant extract or matrix. The antibacterial activity seems to be governed by both content of Ag nanoparticles and their effective distribution. This work contributes to still expanding environmentally acceptable field of green synthesis of silver nanoparticles.

Purpose: During the treatments of cancer patients with a linear accelerator (LINAC) using photon beams with energies ≥8 MV, the components inside the LINAC head get activated through the interaction of photonuclear reaction (γ, n) and neutron capture (n, γ). We used spectroscopy and measured the dose rate for the LINAC in operation after the treatment ended. Methods: We performed spectroscopy and dose rate measurements for three units of LINACs with a portable high-purity Germanium (HPGe) detector and a survey meter. The spectra were obtained after the beams were turned off. Spectroscopy was conducted for 3,600 seconds, and the dose rate was measured three times. We identified the radionuclides for each LINAC. Results: According to gamma spectroscopy results, most of the nuclides were short-lived radionuclides with half-lives of 100 days, except for ⁶⁰Co, ⁶⁵Zn, and ¹⁸¹W nuclides. The dose rate for three LINACs obtained immediately in front of the crosshair was in the range of 0.113 to 0.129 µSv/h. The maximum and minimum dose rates measured on weekends were 0.097 µSv/h and 0.092 µSv/h, respectively. Compared with the differences in weekday data, there was no significant difference between the data measured on Saturday and Sunday. Conclusions: Most of the detected radionuclides had half-lives <100 days, and the dose rate decreased rapidly. For equipment that primarily used energies ≤10 MV, when the equipment was transferred after at least 10 minutes after shutting it down, it is expected that there will be little effect on the workers' exposure.

연구배경: 세기조절방사선치료와 같이 고선량을 암조직에 정밀하게 전달할 수 있는 방사선 치료기술이 개발됨에 따라, 보다 정확한 선량평가 기술의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 선형가속기에서 발생된 광자선의 물질투과율 정보를 통해 간접유도방식으로 에너지스펙트럼을 예측할 수 있는 기술의 개발을 목적으로 한다. 재료 및 방법: 의료용 선형가속기를 사용한 측정과 몬테칼로 전산모사를 통해 감쇠물질의 두께에 따른 X-선의 투과율이 평가되었으며, 이와 더불어 단일에너지에 의한 이온함의 반응함수가 결정되었다. 최종적으로 Unfolding 방법을 사용하는 HEOROW 프로그램을 통해 고선량률의 치료용 선형가속기에서 발생된 광자선의 에너지스펙트럼이 유도되었다. 본 연구에서 실험을 위해 Elekta Synergy Flatform 선형가속기가 사용되었으며, 몬테칼로 방법을 사용하는 Geant4 전산모사 프로그램이 사용되었다. 결과 및 논의: 감쇠물질의 두께에 따른 X-선 투과율과 몬테칼로 전산모사를 통해 계산된 X-선 투과율의 비교 결과 0.43%의 평균제곱근오차가 확인된다. 물질투과정보를 통해 간접적으로 유도된 에너지스펙트럼은 몬테칼로 전산모사를 통해 직접적으로 계산된 에너지스펙트럼과 비교분석 되었으며, 피크위치 및 평균에너지의 오차가 각각 0.066 MeV와 0.03 MeV로 평가되었다. 하지만 보다 정확한 에너지스펙트럼을 예측하기 위해서는 다양한 감쇠물질의 사용과 에너지스펙트럼 유도프로그램의 정밀도 향상을 위한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 결론: 본 연구를 통해 확인된 물질투과율 기반의 에너지스펙트럼 측정 기술은 에너지가 높고 선량률이 높기 때문에 광자선을 직접적으로 측정하는 것이 제한적인 의료용 선형가속기에 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Control of plasma processing methodologies can only occur by obtaining a thorough understanding of the physical and chemical properties of plasmas. However, all plasma processes are currently used in the industry with an incomplete understanding of the coupled chemical and physical properties of the plasma involved. Thus, they are often 'non-predictive' and hence it is not possible to alter the manufacturing process without the risk of considerable product loss. Only a more comprehensive understanding of such processes will allow models of such plasmas to be constructed that in turn can be used to design the next generation of plasma reactors. Developing such models and gaining a detailed understanding of the physical and chemical mechanisms within plasma systems is intricately linked to our knowledge of the key interactions within the plasma and thus the status of the database for characterizing electron, ion and photon interactions with those atomic and molecular species within the plasma and knowledge of both the cross-sections and reaction rates for such collisions, both in the gaseous phase and on the surfaces of the plasma reactor. The compilation of databases required for understanding most plasmas remains inadequate. The spectroscopic database required for monitoring both technological and fusion plasmas and thence deriving fundamental quantities such as chemical composition, neutral, electron and ion temperatures is incomplete with several gaps in our knowledge of many molecular spectra, particularly for radicals and excited (vibrational and electronic) species. However, the compilation of fundamental atomic and molecular data required for such plasma databases is rarely a coherent, planned research program, instead it is a parasitic process. The plasma community is a rapacious user of atomic and molecular data but is increasingly faced with a deficit of data necessary to both interpret observations and build models that can be used to develop the next-generation plasma tools that will continue the scientific and technological progress of the late 20th and early 21st century. It is therefore necessary to both compile and curate the A&M data we do have and thence identify missing data needed by the plasma community (and other user communities). Such data may then be acquired using a mixture of benchmarking experiments and theoretical formalisms. However, equally important is the need for the scientific/technological community to recognize the need to support the value of such databases and the underlying fundamental A&M that populates them. This must be conveyed to funders who are currently attracted to more apparent high-profile projects.

Solar cells have been more intensely studied as part of the effort to find alternatives to fossil fuels as power sources. The progression of the first two generations of solar cells has seen a sacrifice of higher efficiency for more economic use of materials. The use of a single junction makes both these types of cells lose power in two major ways: by the non-absorption of incident light of energy below the band gap; and by the dissipation by heat loss of light energy in excess of the band gap. Therefore, multi junction solar cells have been proposed as a solution to this problem. However, the $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ generation solar cells have efficiency limits because a photon makes just one electron-hole pair. Fabrication of all-silicon tandem cells using an Si quantum dot superlattice structure (QD SLS) is one possible suggestion. In this study, an $SiO_x$ matrix system was investigated and analyzed for potential use as an all-silicon multi-junction solar cell. Si quantum dots with a super lattice structure (Si QD SLS) were prepared by alternating deposition of Si rich oxide (SRO; $SiO_x$ (x = 0.8, 1.12)) and $SiO_2$ layers using RF magnetron co-sputtering and subsequent annealing at temperatures between 800 and $1,100^{\circ}C$ under nitrogen ambient. Annealing temperatures and times affected the formation of Si QDs in the SRO film. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed that nanocrystalline Si QDs started to precipitate after annealing at $1,100^{\circ}C$ for one hour. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images clearly showed SRO/$SiO_2$ SLS and Si QDs formation in each 4, 6, and 8 nm SRO layer after annealing at $1,100^{\circ}C$ for two hours. The systematic investigation of precipitation behavior of Si QDs in $SiO_2$ matrices is presented.
