Fresnel zone plates have been widely used in many applications, such as x-ray telescopes, microfluorescence, and microimaging. To obtain an x-ray Fresnel zone plate, many fabrication methods, such as electron-beam etching, ion-beam etching and chemical etching, have been developed. Fresnel zone plates fabricated by these methods will inevitably lead to some nonideal factors, which have an impact on the focusing characteristics of the zone plate. In this paper, the influences of these nonideal factors on the focusing characteristics of the zone plate are studied systematically, by numerical simulations based on scalar diffraction theory. The influence of the thickness of a Fresnel zone plate on the absolute focusing efficiency is calculated for a given incident x-ray's wavelength. The diffraction efficiency and size of the focal spot are calculated for different incline angles of the groove. The simulations of zone plates without struts, with regular struts, and with random struts are carried out, to study the effects of struts on the focusing characteristics of a zone plate. When a Fresnel zone plate is used to focus an ultrashort x-ray pulse, the effect of zone-plate structure on the final pulse duration is also discussed.

The 4H-SiC schottky diodes treated by the various dry etch methods were fabricated and electrically characterized. The post etch process including an Inductively Coupled Plasma(ICP) etch and a Neutron Beam Etch(NBE) was performed after a high-temperature activation annealing without graphite cap in order to eliminate the damaged surface generated during the activation annealing. The reverse leakage current of diode treated by ICP was 1/35 times lower than that of the diode without any post etch at the anode bias of -100V, while the reverse leakage current of diode treated by NBE was 1/44 times lower at the same bias.

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of various surface treatments by measuring resonance frequency and histomorphometric analyses. Material and methods. In 5 adult dogs, the mandibular premolar were extracted. Six months later, 30 screw titanium implants (Dentium Co., Seoul, Korea) 6mm in length and 3.4mm in diameter, were placed in the mandibles of 5 dogs. Implants were divided into five groups following to surface treatment methods ; Group 1 is machined controls, Group 2 is sandblasted with large grit and acid-etched (SLA), Group 3 is anodized (Autoelectric Co., Korea, 660Hz, Duty10), Group 4 is hydroxyapatite(HA) coated by ion beam assisted deposition(E-beam), Group 5 is hydroxyapatite(HA) coated with Sol-gel coating process. Resonance frequency was measured implant placement immediately, and 3, 6 weeks and 10 weeks of healing perods. With the animal subject's sacrifice 10 weeks after implantation, implants were removed on bloc and histologic and computer-based histomorphometric analyses were performed. Histomorphometric analysis involved quantification of the entire bone to metal contact around the implants. Statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS for Windows (ver. 9.0 SPSS Inc.) Statistical differences were considered significant at P<0.05. Results. The results were as follows : 1) In five groups, mean value of resonance frequency analysis(RFA) were highest in group 5 (Sol-gel implant) at implantation and those of group 4 (E-beam)was highest at 10 weeks . but there was no correlation between surface treatments and RFA. 2) In all surface treatment groups, the RFA values of implants decreased until 3 weeks and increased to 10 weeks. 3) The percentage of direct bone-to-implant contact (BIC) had statistical significance between five groups in cancellous bone, (P<0.05) the percentage of bone density inside the thread had no statistical significance between five groups. (P>0.05) 4) There was a significant difference between cortical bone and cancellous bone in BIC. (P<0.05) and bone density. (P<0.05) 5) There was a correlation between the RFA value of implants at 10 weeks and BIC in cancellous bone, and between the RFA value of implants at 10 weeks and bone density in cortical bone. (P<0.05). Conclusions. These results indicate that surface treatment does not affect the implant stability in case of good bone quality.

Thallium-201 (²⁰¹Tl) is a medical radioisotope which emits gamma rays when it decays and used in myocardial perfusion scans in single-photon emission tomography due to its similar properties to potassium. Currently, the Korea Institute of Radiological & Medical Sciences is the only institution producing ²⁰¹Tl in Korea, and optimization of ²⁰¹Tl production research is necessary to meet supply compared to domestic demand. To this end, technical analysis of plating target production and chemical separation methods essential for ²⁰¹Tl production research is conducted. It deals with the process of generating and separating ²⁰¹Tl radioisotope and target production, It can be generated through a nuclear reaction such as ^natHg(p,xn)²⁰¹Tl, ²⁰¹Hg(p,n)²⁰¹Tl, ^natPb(p,xn)²⁰¹Bi → ²⁰¹Pb → ²⁰¹Tl, ²⁰⁵Tl(p,5n)²⁰¹Pb → ²⁰¹Tl, and considering impure nuclide generated simultaneously with the use of proton beam energy of 35 MeV or less, it is intended to be produced using the ²⁰³Tl(p,3n)²⁰¹Pb→²⁰¹Tl nuclear reaction. In particular, the chemical separation of Tl is a very important element, and the chemical separation methods that can separate it is broadly divided into four types, including solid phase extraction, liquid-liquid, electrochemical, and ion exchange membrane separation. Some chemical separations require additional separation steps, such as methods using selective adsorption. Therefore, this technical report describes four chemical separation methods and seeks to separate high-purity ²⁰¹Tl using a method without additional separation steps

The effective fracture toughness testing of materials intended for application in Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) devices is required in order to improve understanding of how micro sized material used in device may be expected to perform upon the micro scale. ${\gamma}$-TiAl based materials are being considered for application in MEMS devices at elevated temperatures. Especially, in Alloy 4, both ${\alpha}_2$ and ${\gamma}$ lamellae were altered markedly in 3,000 h, $700^{\circ}C$ exposure. Parallel decomposition of coarse ${\alpha}_2$ into bunches of very fine (${\alpha}_2+{\gamma}$) lamellae. Parallel decomposition of coarse ${\alpha}_2$ into bunches of very fine (${\alpha}_2+{\gamma}$) lamellae. The materials were examined 2 types Alloy 4 on heat exposed specimen($700^{\circ}C$, 3,000 h) and no heat exposed one. Micro sized cantilever beams were prepared mechanical polishing on both side at $25{\sim}30{\mu}m$ and electro final stage polishing to observe lamellar orientation of same colony with EBSD (Electron Backscatter Diffraction Pattern). Through lamellar orientation as inter-lamellae or trans-lamellae, Cantilever beam was fabricated with Focused Ion Beam(FIB). The directional behavior of the lamellar structure was important property in single material, because of the effects of the different processing method and variations in properties according to lamellar orientation. In MEMS application, it is first necessary to have a reliable understanding of the manufacturing methods to be used to produce micro structure.

PURPOSES: The purpose of this study is to evaluate physical properties, durability, fatigue resistance, and long-term performance of poly-urethane concrete (PU) which can be possible application of thin layer on long-span orthotropic steel bridge and to check structural stability of bridge structure. METHODS : Various tests of physical properties, such as flexural strength, tensile strength, bond strength and coefficient of thermal expansion tests were conducted for physical property evaluation using two types of poly urethane concrete which have different curing time. Freezing and thawing test, accelerated weathering test and chloride ion penetration test were performed to evaluate the effect of exposed to marine environment. Beam fatigue test and small scale accelerated pavement test were performed to assess the resistance of PU against fatigue damage and long-term performance. Structural analysis were conducted to figure out structural stability of bridge structure and thin bridge deck pavement system. RESULTS: The property tests results showed that similar results were observed overall however the flexural strength of PUa was higher than those of PUb. It was also found that PU materials showed durability at marine environment. Beam fatigue test results showed that the resistances of the PUa against fatigue damage were two times higher than those of the PUb. It was found form small scale accelerated pavement test to evaluate long-term performance that there is no distress observed after 800,000 load applications. Structural analysis to figure out structural stability of bridge structure and thin bridge deck pavement system indicated that bridge structures were needed to increase thickness of steel deck plate or to improve longitudinal rib shape. CONCLUSIONS: It has been known that the use of PU can be positively considered to thin layer on long-span orthotropic steel bridge in terms of properties considered marine environment, resistance of fatigue damage and long-term performance.

종양치료를 위하여 고에너지 X-선 또는 감마선을 인체에 조사할 경우 피부 표면 선량이 최대지점 선량의 $30~60\%$에 불과 함으로 피부보호 효과(Skin sparing effect)를 얻을 수 있는 장점을 갖고있다. 그러나 종양특성과 발병위치에 따라 조사면을 크게 하거나 선속내에 차폐물질 또는 보상여과판을 설치하여 치료할 경우 피부보호 효과가 감소되거나 없어지는 경우가 있고 이것은 종양치료에 중요한 요인이 되고 있다. 연세 암전문병원에 설치된 코발트 60원격치료기와 선형가속기에서 발생되는 4 MV및 10 MV x-선에 대한 피부선량을 측정하였으며 차폐물고정판(Tray) 구성 물질의 종류와 조사면의 크기 및 피부와 고정판간의 거 리에 따른 피부선량의 변화를 평가하였다. 방사선 조사면이 $15{\times}15\;cm^2$ 이상 넓고 피부와 collimator 간의 거리가 30 cm 이상일 때 피부 표면선량은 코발트 -60, 4, 10 MV에서 각각최대선량의 40, 30, $20\%$로 감소하였으며 조사면의 크기와 차폐 고정판의 물질에 따라 증감하였다. 차폐물을 고정시키는 고정판을 Lucite로 제작하고 고정판과 피부간의 거리를 약 15 cm 이상 간격을 주면 표면선량을 $50\%$로 줄일 수 있었고 주석, 구리, 납등을 부착시키면 전방산란 선량비율이 감소되어 피부선량은 $35\%$로 피부보호 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 방사선의 전방산란비율은 에너지와 흡수물질의 원자번호에 관계되며 납과 주석 이 각각 코발트-60 감마선과 4~10 MV x-선의 전방산란비를 가장 크게 감소시켰다.

목적 : 고에너지 방사선치료용 on-line 선량측정시스템의 개발의 일부로서, 측정된 투과선량을 이용하여 종양선량을 계산하는데 필요한 알고리즘의 개발이 목적이다. 방법 첫번째로 다양한 크기의 조사야 (FS), 다양한 두께의 phantom (Tp), 다양한 거리의 phantom to chamber distance (PCD)에서 6 MV 및 10 MV X-선에 대하여 특수 제작한 water phantom을 대상으로 phantom의 후방에서 투과선량을 측정하여 기본적인 beam data를 얻었다. 선원-측정기간 거리는 150cm으로 고정시켰다. 측정은 0.125cc ion chamber를 이용하였다. 두번째로 노출환경 (조사야의 크기, phantom의 두께, PCD)과 측정치와의 상관관계에 대한 알고리즘을 개발하고, 마지막으로 측정치와 알고리즘에 의한 예상치를 비교하여 알고리즘의 정확성을 평가하였다. 결과 : 측정데이터를 이용하여 회귀분석을 시행해서 두가지 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 알고리즘 1은 PCD에 대한 2차 함수와 A/P (area-perimeter ratio)에 대한 3차 함수로 이루어져 있으며, 알고리즘 2는 log(A/P)에 대한 3차 함수와 PCD에 대한 3차 함수로 이루어져 있다. 알고리즘 1에서는 측정치와 예상치의 오차가 1.0% 미만이었고, 알고리즘 2에서는 측정치와 예상치의 오차가 거의 0.5% 미만이었다. 또한 알고리즘 2는 알고리즘 1을 사용할 때보다 적은 data를 가지고서도 더욱 정확하게 fitting 할 수 있었다. 따라서 fitting 상수들을 구하는데 필요한 측정시간을 알고리즘 1을 사용할 때보다 반으로 줄일 수 있었다. 결론 : phantom의 후방에서 측정한 투과선량을 이용하여, 임의의 Tp, PCD, FS에서 투과선량을 정확하게 예측할 수 있는 두가지의 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 향후 보조 장치에 의한 영향, 조사야 차폐의 영향, 신체조직의 조직특성 (불균일도, inhomogeneity), 신체 형태의 굴곡에 대한 연구를 완성하면 매치료시마다 종양에 흡수된 방사선량을 확인할 수 있는 on-line dosimetry가 가능할 것이다.
