In order to solve this sort of electrostatic failure in Display and Semiconductor process, Soft X-ray ionizer is mainly used. Soft X-ray Ionizer does not only generate electrical noise and minute particle but also is efficient to remove electrostatic as it has a wide range of ionization. There exist variable factors such as type of tungsten thickness deposited on target, Anode voltage etc., and it takes a lot of time and financial resource to find optimal performance by manufacturing with actual X-ray tube source. Here, MCNPX (Monte Carlo N-Particle Extended) is used for simulation to solve this kind of problem, and optimum efficiency of X-ray generation is anticipated. In this study, X-ray generation efficiency was compared according to target material thickness using MCNPX and actual X-ray tube source under the conditions that tube voltage is 5 keV, 10 keV, 15 keV and the target Material is Tungsten(W). At the result, In Tube voltage 5 keV and distance 100 mm, optimal target thickness is $0.05{\mu}m$ and fastest decay time appears + decay time 0.28 sec. - deacy time 0.30 sec. In Tube voltage 10keV and distance 100 mm, optimal target Thickness is $0.16{\mu}m$ and fastest decay time appears + decay time 0.13 sec. - deacy time 0.12 sec. In the tube voltage 15 keV and distance 100 mm, optimal target Thickness is $0.28{\mu}m$ and fastest decay time appears + decay time 0.04 sec. - deacy time 0.05 sec.

Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS)는 일반적으로 널리 사용하는 X선 회절분광기로 분석하기 힘든 chemical 또는 biological system의 structural analyses에 매우 유용한 분석방법이다. 특히 세라믹이나 유전체 비정질 재료의 미세 원자 구조에 관한 정보를 얻는데는 가장 강력한 분석방법중의 하나로 알려져 있다. 현재까지 대부분의 EXAFS 실험은 방사광 가속기를 이용하여 수행하였다. 그런데 신제품 개발의 순환주기가 급속하게 단축되는 현실적인 문제에 부응하기 위하여 실험실에서 EXAFS 실험을 수행할 수 있는 system을 개발하게 되었다. 개발한 XIEES 장비는 rotating anode 형의 18kW X-ray source, Optical system, Detection system, Stepping motor control system, vacuum system, Utility 등으로 구성하였다. Optical system에서의 6개의 Johanson type monochromator를 사용하여 분석가능한 x-ray energy range를 480eV에서 41keV까지 구현하였다. 이는 산소에서 우라늄까지 분석이 가능함을 의미하는 것으로, 산화물 연구에 많이 활용할 것으로 기대한다. XIEES는 투과 및 형광 X-ray를 검출할 수 있는 기능과 X-ray에 의해 여기 되는 모든(광전자, Aiger 전자, 이차전자)들을 검출할 수 있는 기능을 갖추고 있는데 이를 Total Electron Yield 측정이라고 한다. Total Electron Yield 측정은 박막 시료와 같이 투과가 되지 않는 시료를 분석할 뿐만 아니라, 경원소 분석, 낮은 에너지에서 흡수 edge가 나타나는 L-edge 측정을 통한 전자 구조 분석 등에 유용한다. 실험실용 XIEES 장비는 방사광가속기에 비해 x-ray flux가 크게 뒤지는 문제와 Total Electron Yield를 측정하는 데 있어서 source에서 나오는 x-ray beam이 진공용기 안에서 산란되어 이차전자를 여기하고 이 이차전자들이 전자검출기에 유입되어 측정에 영향을 미치는 background 문제 등이 있다. 이 두 가지 문제를 해결하기 위하여 Capillary tube를 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 실험실용 XIEES 장비를 소개하고 이를 이용하여 Cu standard 시료에서 측정한 EXAFS 결과와 Capillary tube를 사용하여 얻은 x-ray flux 증진 및 background 제거 효과에 대해서 발표한다.

An X-ray Free Electron laser facility (PAL-XFEL) has been built in Pohang Accelerator Laboratory to provide X-ray FEL radiations for photon users. The machine consists of a 10 GeV normalconducting S-band linear accelerator and two undulator beamlines. The hard and soft X-ray beamlines will provide FEL radiations with wavelengths of 0.6 to 0.1 nm and 4.5 to 1 nm, respectively. Beam commissioning of PAL-XFEL is ongoing and user service will start in 2017. In this report, the PAL-XFEL layout and the working principle are discussed.

We demonstrate that wide-angle X-ray scattering pattern from photoactive yellow protein (PYP) in solution using a high flux third generation synchrotron X-ray source reflects not only the overall structure, but also fine structures of the protein. X-ray scattering data from PYP in solution have been collected in q ranges from 0.02 ${\AA}^{-1}$ to 2.8 ${\AA}^{-1}$. These data are sensitive to the protein structure and consistent with the calculation based on known crystallographic atomic coordinates. Theoretical scattering patterns were also calculated for the intermediates during the photocycle of PYP to estimate the feasibility of time-resolved wide-angle X-ray scattering experiments on such proteins. These results demonstrate the possibility of using the wide-angle solution X-ray scattering as a quantitative monitor of photo-induced structural changes in PYP.

The x-ray pulsar GX 1+4 was observed by us in four balloon- borne experiments carried out from Hyderabad, India during 1991-1995 period with a hard x-ray telescope. The x-ray telescope consists of two collimated large area xenon-filled proportional counters with an effective area of $2400 cm^2$, a field of view of $5^{\circ}{\times}5^{\circ}$ and sensitive in the energy band of 20 - 100 keV. The pulsar was detected in bright state in two of the four experiments and x-ray pulsations with 120 second period were detected clearly. Pulsation period, rate of change of period with time, pulse fraction, pulse profile and energy spectra of the source were determined from these studies. During March 1995 observation, the x-ray pulse of GX 1+4 was found to be double-peaked compared to a single-peak pulse profile detected in December 1993. Details of these results are presented and their interpretation discussed in terms of the current accretion models of x-ray binaries.

본 연구는 일반광원을 이용한 진단용 X선 모의실험장치 개발의 타당성 검토를 위한 예비연구로서 소규모 실험장치를 제작하고 실제로 X선 투사 영상과 같은 영상을 획득할 수 있는지 여부를 확인하였다. 실험장치는 선원부, 로컬라이저, 검출기부분 등 크게 세부분으로 나뉘어졌다. 공간상에 직교좌표계를 설정하고 표적이 놓이는 위치를 원점으로 하였고, 선원에서 빛이 나오면 표적 투과 후 스크린에 영상이 형성되고 스크린 뒤편에서 디지털카메라로 영상기록 후 좌우 반전하였다. 선원으로부터의 거리에 따른 필드크기의 변화, 핀홀 크기에 따른 음영의 발생과 밝기, 좌표를 통한 오차평가 결과 본 연구에서 개발된 실험장치로 X선 모사실험이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

We combine data from two all-sky surveys, the Swift/Burst Alert Telescope 22 Month Source Catalog and the AKARI Point Source Catalogue, in order to study the connection between the hard X-ray (> 10 keV) and infrared (IR) properties of local active galactic nuclei (AGN). We find two photometric diagnostics are useful for source classification: one is the X-ray luminosity vs. IR color diagram, in which type 1 radio-loud AGN are well isolated from other AGN. The second one uses the X-ray vs. IR color-color diagram as a redshift-independent indicator for identifying Compton-thick (CT) AGN. Importantly, CT AGN and starburst galaxies in composite systems can also be separated in this plane based upon their hard X-ray fluxes and dust temperatures. This diagram may be useful as a new indicator to classify objects in new surveys such as with WISE and NuSTAR.

A new method of X-ray source spectrum estimation based on compressed sensing is proposed in this paper. The algorithm K-SVD is applied for sparse representation. Nonnegative constraints are added by modifying the L₁ reconstruction algorithm proposed by Rosset and Zhu. The estimation method is demonstrated on simulated spectra typical of mammography and CT. X-ray spectra are simulated with the Monte Carlo code Geant4. The proposed method is successfully applied to highly ill conditioned and under determined estimation problems with a good performance of suppressing noises. Results with acceptable accuracies (MSE < 5%) can be obtained with 10% Gaussian white noises added to the simulated experimental data. The biggest difference between the proposed method and the existing methods is that multiple prior knowledge of X-ray spectra can be included in one dictionary, which is meaningful for obtaining the true X-ray spectrum from the measurements.

In this paper the conceptual design and development of a compact vertical type soft x-ray microscope is described. This x-ray microscope operates in the water window wavelength region(2.3 ${\sim}$ 4.4nm), where natural contrast between carbon(protein) and oxygen(water) allows imaging of unstained biological material their natural, hydrated environment. Until now, operational x-ray microscopes are based on synchrotron radiation sources, which limit their accessibility. Many biologists would benefit from having the x-ray microscope as a tool among other tools in their own laboratory, For this purpose we introduced the compact vertical type soft X-ray microscope with 50 nm resolution for biomedical application. The compact vertical type soft x-ray microscope is based on a laser plasma x-ray source, doubled ellipsoidal condenser reflective optics, diffractive zone plate optics and MCP coupled with CCD to record an x-ray image.
