We report the status of the cold neutron triple-axis spectrometer (Cold TAS) and thermal neutron triple-axis spectrometer (Thermal TAS) installed at HANARO. Cold TAS, whose specifications are standard across the world, is in the final phase of commissioning. Proper instrument operation was confirmed through a feasibility study of phonon measurements and data analyses with resolution convolution. In contrast, Thermal TAS is in the initial phase of commissioning, and improvement of the monochromator drum is now in progress from the viewpoint of radiation shielding. In addition, we report recent activities in the development of neutron basic elements, that is, film-coated Si-wafer collimators, which are promising for use in triple-axis spectroscopy, particularly in Cold TAS.

A series of conductive filler were prepared with electroless plating method. Base conductive materials of the filler were nickel and copper. The cores were prepared with Nylon 6 and rayon in different aspect ratio. Also, various complexes were made with ABS resin and conductive filler with different filler feed ratio. The conductivity of the filler was measured with conductivity analyzer and the size distributions of fillers was measured with laser particle size analyzer. Electromagnetic wave shielding efficiency of each complex film was measured with flange circular coaxial transmission line sample holder within the 1MHz$\sim$1GHz bandwidth range. From this study, the conductivity of filers surpass that of other carbon films. It is available that the filler made of fibrous materials can be applied in plastic molding industry of electric appliances as a EMI filler.

Non-stochiometric CdS:H films grown on polyethersulfon (PES) flexible polymer substrates at room temperature by R.F. sputtering technique. They exhibited a dark- and photo-sheet resistance of $2.7\times10^5$ and $\sim\;50\;{\Omega}$/square, respectively. These values were realized by an optimum control of both hydrogen doping-levels and the surface morphologies of the films. The comparison between the real and the simulated results for the shielding and the transmission by the free space measurement system in the X-band frequency range (8.2 - 12.4 GHz) was also addressed in this study. Samples overlapped with 13 layers of CdS:H/PES were consistent with the transmission results of pure aluminum metal films ($0.1\;{\Omega}$/square) deposited on PES substrates. As a result, by the simples tacking of the CdS:H/PES layers, the perfect control of the shielding and the transmission of the EM wave in the range of X-band frequency is possible by avisible light alone, and their results are especially very outstanding findings in the stealth function of the radome(Radar+Dome) such as aircrafts, ships, and missiles.

To investigate the effect of the oxyfluorination of carbon nanotubes (OF-CNTs) on electroless Ni deposition and electromagnetic interference shielding efficiency (EMI SE), CNTs were treated with a mixture of oxygen and fluorine gases and sequentially deposited with nickel. These samples were then manufactured into thin films on a polyimide film to evaluate their EMI SE. The surface chemical property of OF-CNTs was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. From the results of thermogravimetric and scanning electron microscopic analyses, it was found that both the amount of deposited Ni and the surface morphology changed depending on oxyfluorination. Moreover, the Ni-deposited CNTs pretreated with $O_2:F_2=1:9vol%$ exhibited the maximum EMI SE as approximately 19.4 dB at 1 GHz. These results were attributed to the formation of oxygen and fluorine functional groups on the surface of CNTs due to the oxyfluorination, and the functional groups enabled to deposit a suitable amount of Ni and improve the dispersion in the deposited solution.

The MLC(multi leaf collimator) in charge of important role in radiation therapy field recently have been exchanging from shielding block into it rapidly, owing to being convenient. However, MLC can be occurred the leakage dose of inter_leaves and the error of algorithm in imput and output from digital signal. We compared the difference of imput method to MLC made by Varian Cop. with the error and effective field induced by MLC shaper and film scanner based on XimaVision value as using MLC layer of various shapes. According to comparing standard value with them to basic MLC layer (test1-5), MLC shaper was $0{\sim}0.29cm$, $0.23{\sim}3.59cm^2$ and film scanner was $0{\sim}0.78cm$, $0.24{\sim}3.89cm^2$. At the MLC layer to be applied in clinic, MLC shaper was $0{\sim}0.54cm$, $0.04{\sim}1.68cm^2$ and film scanner was $0{\sim}0.78cm$, $0.24{\sim}3.89cm^2$. The more distance and field from axis of central line increase, the more bigger the error value increases. There is a few mm error from standard point at the process which imput various information to apply MLC in clinic. and effective field did not have variation of monitor unit and dose owing to being a few cm2 error against real field. But there are some problem to shield critical organs because some part of target volume induced by the movement of organs can be not included, therefore we have to pay attention on the process to imput MLC layer

Indium Tin Oxide (ITO)를 포함한 Transparent Conduction Oxide (TCO)는 LCD, OLED와 같은 Display, 그리고 Solar Cell 등 광신호와 전기신호간 변환이 필요한 모든 Device에 반드시 필요한 핵심 물질로, 특히 고특성 Display의 투명전극에서 요청되는 95% 이상의 투과도와 $15\;{\Omega}/{\square}$ 이하의 면저항 특성을 동시에 만족할 수 있는 기술은 현재까지 Plasma Sputtering 공정으로 $160^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 증착된 ITO 박막이 유일하다. 그러나, 최근 차세대 기술로서 Plastic Film을 기반으로 하는 Flexible Display 및 Flexible Solar Cell 구현에 대한 요구가 급증하면서, Plastic Film 기판위에 Plasma Damage이 없이 상온에 가까운 저온 ($100^{\circ}C$ 이하)에서 특성이 우수한 ITO 투명전극을 형성 할 수 있는 기술의 확보가 중요한 현안이 되고 있다. 지난 10년 동안 $100^{\circ}C$이하 저온에서 고특성의 ITO 또는 TCO 박막을 얻기위한 다양한 연구와 구체적인 공정이 활발히 연구되어 왔으나, ITO의 결정화 온도 (통상 $150{\sim}180^{\circ}C$)이하에서 증착된 ITO박막은 비정질 상태의 물성적 특성을 보여 원하는 전기적, 광학적 특성확보가 어려웠다. 본 논문에선 기본적으로 절연체 특성을 가져야 하는 산화물인 TCO가 반도체 또는 도체의 물리적 특성을 보여주는 기본원리의 고찰을 토대로, 재료학적 특성상 Crystalline 구조를 보여야 하는 ITO (Complex Cubic Bixbyte Structure)가 Plasma Sputtering 공정으로 저온에서 증착될 때 비정질 구조를 갖게 되는 원인을 규명하고, 이를 바탕으로 저온에서 증착된 ITO가 Crystalline 구조를 유지 할 수 있게 하고, Stress Control에 유리한 Nano-Crystalline 박막을 형성하면서 Crystallinity를 임의로 조절 할 수 있는 새로운 기술인 Magnetic Field Shielding Sputtering (MFSS) 공정과 최근 성과를 소개한다. 한편, 또 다른 새로운 저온 TCO 박막형성 기술로서, 유기반도체와 같은 Process Damage에 매우 취약한 유기물 위에 Plasma Damage 없이 TCO 박막을 직접 형성할 수 있는 Neutral Beam Assisted Sputtering (NBAS) 기술의 원리를 설명하고, 본 공정을 적용한 Top Emission OLED 소자의 결과를 소개한다. 또한, 고온공정이 수반되는 Solar Cell용 투명전극의 경우, 통상의 TCO박막이 고온공정을 거치면서 전기적 특성이 열화되는 원인을 규명하고, 이에 대한 근본적 해결 방법으로 ITO 박막의 Dopant인 Tin (Sn) 원자의 활성화를 증가시킨 Inductively Coupled Plasma Assisted DC Magnetron Sputtering (ICPDMS)의 원리와 박막의 물성적 특성과 내열 특성을 소개한다.

Recently, transmittance of photomasks for ultra-violet (UV) region is getting more important, as the light source wavelength of an exposure process is shortened due to the demand for technologies about high integration and miniaturization of devices. Meanwhile, such problems can occur as damages or the reduction of yield of photomask as electrostatic damage (ESD) occurs in the weak parts due to the accumulation of static electricity and the electric charge on chromium metal layers which are light shielding layers, caused by the repeated contacts and the peeling off between the photomask and the substrate during the exposure process. Accordingly, there have been studies to improve transmittance and antistatic performance through various functional coatings on the photomask surface. In the present study, we manufactured antireflection films of Nb₂O₅, | SiO₂ structure and antistatic films of ITO designed on 100 × 100 × 3 mmt sodalime glass by DC magnetron sputtering system so that photomask can maintain high transmittance at I-line (365 nm). ITO thin film deposited using In/Sn (10 wt.%) on sodalime glass was optimized to be 10 nm-thick, 3.0 × 103 𝛺/☐ sheet resistance, and about 80% transmittance, which was relatively low transmittance because of the absorption properties of ITO thin film. High average transmittance of 91.45% was obtained from a double side antireflection and antistatic thin films structure of Nb₂O₅ 64 nm | SiO₂ 41 nm | sodalime glass | ITO 10 nm | Nb₂O₅ 64 nm | SiO₂ 41 nm.

Conductive polymer blends and composites are widely used for different safety application such as electrostatic charge dissipation(ESD), electromagnetic interference(EMI) shielding, electrostatic prevention and safety chemical sensor. In order to prepare a impedance-type humidity sensor that is durable at high humidities and high temperature, electically conductive polymer blends based on diallyldimethylammonium chloride(DADMAC) and epoxy were prepared in this study. The polymer blends type conductive ionomer exhibits reaction each other DADMAC and epoxy in FT-IR and DSC analysis. The blends material was traced by new peak at 1600cm-1 and appeard improvement of thermal resistance by melting point shift. Alumina substrate was deposited a pair of gold electrodes by screen printing. The blend material were spin-coated with a thin film type on the surface of alumina substrate. The polymer bleld type sensor exhibits a linear impedance increasing better than DADMAC coated humidity sensor. Also it shows good sensitivity, low hysteresis and durability against high humidity.

Polycarbonate has a high transmittance to light, low specific gravity, flexibility and cost-effectiveness that extends the application field of the polymer to bio-engineering, optics, electronic parts, etc. Moreover, electro plating of metallic film on PC could endow the parts the electromagnetic interference shielding capability. However, poor adhesion of copper on PC limited the wide usage in the industry. In this work, a composite(PC/ABS) and MmSH(Momentary mold Surface Heating) injection process were used to improve the plating characteristics; plating thickness, gloss and adhesion. Also plasma treatment and chemical treatment were employed for improving adhesion. Plating characteristics on PC/ABS were better than those on PC due to the anchoring effect of butadiene. MmSH injection process could ameliorate the gloss and coating adhesion. Also plating thickness and adhesion of PC and PC/ABS were increased by plasma treatment.

The existing smart farm technology has been systematized for the mass production rather than the consumer. There are many problems such as economical aspect to apply to actual rural environment due to aging. The purpose of this study is to apply smart farm technology based on the applicability of population aged in rural areas. Due to the heat wave, the crops in general greenhouse cultivation facilities suffered from damage such as sunlight damage. To minimize such damage, adjust the temperature and humidity environment or install a light-shielding film. However, the workers in the rural areas are aging and the elderly who are farming alone have a lot of difficulties in doing so. In the case of people with weak physical strength, there is a danger that they may lead to safety accidents when carrying heavy loads. In this paper, we propose 'Smart Palm capable of automatic transportation function', applying small smart vehicles that follow workers to existing smart farms to improve and prevent these problems. It is a smart farm that performs the control functions of the existing smart greenhouse environment, installs the rail for each trough, and has a vehicle that follows the worker. The smart app can directly control the greenhouse and the vehicle remotely manually.
