  • This paper describes a study on the abnormal behavior of the electrical characteristics of the (n)GaAs/Ti/Pt/Au Schottky contacts prepared by the two techniques of electron beam deposition and rf sputtering and after an annealing treatment. The samples were characterized by I-V and C-V measurements carried out over the temperature range of 150 - 350 K both in the as prepared state and after a 300 C, 30 min. anneal step. The variation of ideality factor with forward bias, the variation of ideality factor and barrier height with temperature and the difference between the capacitance barrier and current barrier show the presence of a thin interfacial oxide layer along with barrier height inhomogenieties at the metal/semiconductor interface. This barrier height inhomogeneity model also explains the lower barrier height for the sputtered samples to be due to the presence of low barrier height patches produced because of high plasma energy. After the annealing step the contacts prepared by electron beam have the highest typical current barrier height of 0.85 eV and capacitance barrier height of 0.86 eV whereas those prepared by sputtering (at the highest power studied) have the lowest typical current barrier height of 0.67 eV and capacitance barrier height of 0.78 eV.

  • Natural fiber/phenolic biocomposites with chopped henequen fibers treated at various levels of electron beam irradiation (EBI) were made by means of a matched-die compression molding method. The interfacial property was explored in terms of interfacial shear strength measured by a single fiber microbonding test. The thermal properties were studied in terms of storage modulus, tan ${\delta}$, thermal expansion and thermal stability measured by dynamic mechanical analysis, thermomechanical analysis and thermogravimetric analysis, respectively. The result showed that the interfacial and thermal properties depend on the treatment level of EBI done to the henequen fiber surfaces. The present result also demonstrates that 10 kGy EBI is most preferable to physically modify the henequen fiber surfaces and then to improve the interfacial property of the biocomposite, supporting earlier results studied with henequen/poly (butylene succinate) and henequen/unsaturated polyester biocomposites.

  • 본 연구에서는 피치계 탄소섬유의 표면처리를 위하여 탄소섬유를 산에 담지하여 전자선을 조사하고 각 처리 조건에 따른 탄소섬유의 표면 변화를 평가하였다. 산 담지용액은 질산과 과산화수소를 사용하였으며 전자선 조사량은 200, 400 kGy로 하였다. 과산화수소 담지보다 질산 담지가 탄소섬유 표면에 더 많은 산소관능기를 도입시켰으며, 질소관능기도 탄소섬유 표면에 도입되었다. 또한 전자선 조사량이 증가하면 탄소섬유에 도입되는 산소관능기가 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이는 과산화수소보다 질산이 전자선 조사에 의한 산화성 물질의 형성이 용이하고, 전자선 조사 에너지가 클수록 산화성 물질이 더 많이 형성되기 때문이다. 또한 질산 용액에서 전자선 조사에 의하여 생성되는 $NO_2$ 라디칼이 C-OH 관능기를 C=O 관능기로 산화시키는 반응이 주로 일어나므로 질산 담지 시 C=O 관능기의 생성이 유리한 것으로 나타났다.

  • Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of postoperative radiotherapy for the treatment of keloid scars administered immediately after Cesarean section. Materials and Methods: A total of 26 postpartum patients with confirmed keloids resulting from previous Cesarean sections received either 12 or 15 Gy radiotherapy. The radiotherapy was divided into three 6 MeV electron beam fractions administered during the postpartum period immediately following the final Cesarean section. To evaluate ovarian safety, designated doses of radiation were estimated at the calculated depth of the ovaries using a solid plate phantom and an ionization chamber with the same lead cutout as was used for the treatment of Cesarean section operative scars and a tissue equivalent bolus. Results: In total, the control rate was 77% (20 patients), while six (23%) developed focally elevated keloids (ranging from 0.5 to 2 cm in length) in the middle of the primary abdominal scar. Five patients experienced mild hyperpigmentation. Nonetheless, most patients (96%) were satisfied with the treatment results. The estimated percentage of the applied radiation doses that reached the calculated depth of the ovaries ranged from 0.0033% to 0.0062%. Conclusion: When administered during the immediate postpartum period, postoperative electron beam radiotherapy for repeated Cesarean section scars is generally safe and produces good cosmetic results with minimal toxicity.

  • 수술중 방사선치료를 환자에 적용하기에 앞서 본원이 보유하고있는 LID를 이용한 전자선의 선량분포 특성을 연구하였다. 이러한 선량 특성에 대한 자료는 적절한 Cone의 모양이나 크기, 에너지를 결정하게하며 빠르고 정확한 계산을 위하여 필요하다. 따라서, 본 저자들은 3-Dimensional Water Phantom Dosimetry System를 이용하여 Cone의 크기, Cone의 모양, 보상필터 사용 유무에 따라 Cone의 출력인자, 조직표면선량, 선축상 최대치 지점, $90\%$의 깊이, 대칭도와 편평도, SSD 보상인자, 선량분포 등을 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) Cone의 출력인자는 Cone모양에 따라 각각 측정하였으며 Cone의 크기와 에너지가 작을수록 급격하게 감소하는 결과를 보였다. 2) 보상 필터의 하나인 Flattening Filter를 사용한 결과 포면 선량이 6 MeV, 9 MeV, 12 MeV에 대하여 각각 $85.3\%$, $89.2\%$, $93.4\%$였고, 이 보상 필터를 사용하므로 선량률과 beam의 투과율은 감소하지만 치료부위에 따라 beam의 모양을 변형시키며 특히, 표면선량을 $90\%$나 그 이상으로 증가시킬수 있었다. 3) 3차에 걸친 beam의 collimation과 보상 필터를 결합하여 사용한 결과 매우 좋은 beam의 균일성과 편평도 뿐만아니라 $90\%$ 등선량곡선 넓이가 커지는 결과를 보였다. 4) 치료를 위하여 중요한 간격인 SSD 100cm에서 SSD 110cm까지의 출력인자는 측정치와 계산치가 Cone의 크기와 모양, 에너지에 따라 $1\~3\%$의 차이를 보였다.

  • In this article, in order to fabricate polymer based electrospray device with super hydrophobic nozzle we use PTFE(polyfluorotetraethylene) plate and PMMA(polymethylmethacrylate). To obtain the super hydrophobic surface nozzle, PTFE surface is treated by argon and oxygen plasma treatment process. And evaluate the treated surface, perform measuring contact angle, SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) and AFM(Atomic Force Microscope). We compare the performance of the super hydrophobic PTFE surface nozzle with raw PTFE and PMMA surface nozzle. For the ion beam treated PTFE nozzle, the liquid doesn't overflow and it keeps initial position and meniscus shape. From these results, we expect in cease of superhydrophobic surface nozzle jetting becomes more stable and repeatable.

  • Single layer Sn doped $In_2O_3$ (ITO) films and ITO 50 nm / Au 10 nm / ITO 40 nm (IAI) multilayer films were prepared with electron beam assisted magnetron sputtering on glass substrates. The effects of the Au interlayer, post-deposition atmosphere annealing and intense electron irradiation on the methanol gas sensitivity were investigated at room temperature. As deposited ITO films did not show any diffraction peaks in the XRD pattern, while the IAI films showed the diffraction peak for $In_2O_3$ (400). In this study, the gas sensitivity of ITO and IAI films increased proportionally with the methanol vapor concentration and an intense electron beam irradiated IAI film shows the higher sensitivity than the others film. From the XRD pattern, it is supposed that increased crystallization promotes the gas sensitivity. This approach is promising in gaining improvement in the performance of IAI gas sensors used for the detection of methanol vapor at room temperature.

  • High energy electron beams took effect for tumor radio-therapy, however, had a lot of problems in clinical application because of various conversion factors and complication of physical reactions. Therefore, we had experimentally studied the important properties of high energy electron beams from the linear accelerator, LMR-13, installed in Yonsei Cancer Center. The results of experimental studies on the problems in the 8, 10, 12 Mev electron beam therapy were reported as following. 1. On the measurements of the outputs and absorbed does, the ionization type dosimeters that had calibrated by $^{90}Sr$ standard source were suitable as under $3\%$ errors for high energy electrons to measure, but measuring doses in small field sizes and the regions of rapid fall off dose with ionization chambers were difficult. 2. The electron energy were measured precisely with energy spectrometer consisted of magnet analyzer and tele-control detector and the practical electron energy was calculated under $5\%$ errors by maximum range of high energy electron beam in the water. 3. The correcting factors of perturbated dose distributions owing to radiation field, energy and material of the treatment cone were checked and described systematically and variation of dose distributions due to inhomogeneous tissues and sloping skin surfaces were completely compensated. 4. The electron beams, using the scatters; i.e., gold, tin, copper, lead, aluminium foils, were adequately diffused and minimizing the bremsstrahlung X-ray induced by the electron energy, irradiation field size and material of scatterers, respectively. 5. Inproving of the dose distribution from the methods of pendulum, slit, grid and focusing irradiations, the therapeutic capacity with limited electron energy could be extended.

  • Creating individualized build-up material for superficial photon beam radiation therapy at irregular surface is complex with rice or commonly used flat shape bolus. In this study, we implemented a workflow using 3D printed patient specific bolus and describe our clinical experience. To provide better fitted build-up to irregular surface, the 3D printing technique was used. The PolyLactic Acid (PLA) which processed with nontoxic plant component was used for 3D printer filament material for clinical usage. The 3D printed bolus was designed using virtual bolus structure delineated on patient CT images. Dose distributions were generated from treatment plan for bolus assigned uniform relative electron density and bolus using relative electron density from CT image and compared to evaluate the inhomogeneity effect of bolus material. Pretreatment QA is performed to verify the relative electron density applied to bolus structure by gamma analysis. As an in-vivo dosimetry, Optically Stimulated Luminescent Dosimeters (OSLD) are used to measure the skin dose. The plan comparison result shows that discrepancies between the virtual bolus plan and printed bolus plan are negligible. (0.3% maximum dose difference and 0.2% mean dose difference). The dose distribution is evaluated with gamma method (2%, 2 mm) at the center of GTV and the passing rate was 99.6%. The OSLD measurement shows 0.3% to 2.1% higher than expected dose at patient treatment lesion. In this study, we treated Mycosis fungoides patient with patient specific bolus using 3D printing technique. The accuracy of treatment plan was verified by pretreatment QA and in-vivo dosimetry. The QA results and 4 month follow up result shows the radiation treatment using 3D printing bolus is feasible to treat irregular patient skin.
