The purpose of this paper is to evaluate whether tungsten nanoparticles have a shielding effect on scattered light generated at high doses as an alternative material to lead used to shield scattered light in electron beam therapy. A plate was manufactured to set the position of the dosimeter and the size of the radiation field to be constant. The glass dosimeter was placed at 12 points, which were 1, 2, and 4 cm apart from the center of the field of 10 × 10 cm² in the cross direction. A total of 12 types of tungsten nanoparticle shields were developed with a thickness of 0.75 mm to 4.00 mm and a size of 10 × 10 cm² using 0.4, 0.75, and 1 mm materials. Using a linear accelerator, measurements were made four times at 6 MeV and four times at 12 MeV, and the dose intensity was investigated at 100 MU. The 4 mm shielding plate showed the highest shielding effect at 1 cm from the irradiation field. The 1 mm shielding plate at 2 cm from the irradiation field had the lowest shielding effect. As the thickness of the tungsten shielding plate increased, the electron beam's shielding effect increased sharply. It was confirmed that tungsten nanoparticles can reduce the amount of scattered light generated by electron beam therapy. Therefore, this study will provide basic data when follow-up studies are conducted on the shielding ability of tungsten nanoparticles.

알루미늄 방열판 위에 MPCVD(Microwave Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) 장치를 이용하여 DC 바이어스 전압을 기판에 인가하면서 $Ar+CH_4$ 가스 분위기에서 증착한 나노결정질 다이아몬드(Nanocrystalline Diamond; NCD) 박막의 방열 특성을 평가하였다. XRD와 Raman spectroscopy를 이용하여 증착된 박막이 NCD인지를 확인하였으며 FE-SEM 및 FIB로 박막의 표면 및 단면의 형상을 관찰하였다. 다이아몬드가 증착된 방열판에 LED를 부착하여 발열시키고 열유동측정기의 하나인 T3-ster를 사용하여 방열 특성을 분석하였다. 기존 알루미늄(Al) 기판(5.55 K/W)보다 다이아몬드 증착(Dia-Al) 기판(3.88 K/W)의 열저항 값이 현저히 작았다, 또한 LED 접합온도는 Dia-Al 기판이 Al 기판보다 약 $3.5^{\circ}C$만큼 낮았다. 적외선 열화상 카메라로 발열 중인 시편의 전면과 후면을 촬영한 결과, LED가 부착된 전면부에서는 최고 발열 부위(hot spot)의 면적이 Al 기판의 경우가 Dia-Al 기판보다 높았고, 후면부에서는 그 반대의 경향을 보였다. 이들 데이터로부터 다이아몬드 증착 방열판이 기존의 방열판보다 방열특성이 우수한 것으로 해석할 수 있으며, 다이아몬드 박막을 방열판으로 사용하면 LED의 사용 수명과 효율이 높아질 것으로 기대된다.

유한 요소 기법을 이용한 허니콤 구조물의 해석은 모델링 작업 및 격자 생성의 어려움뿐만 아니라 과도한 해석 시간이 요구되기 때문에 균질화 기법은 계산상의 효율성을 증대시킬 수 있는 매우 유용한 방법이라 할 수 있다. 그러나 나노 크기의 구조물에서는 표면 효과로 인하여 거시적인 구조물에서와는 매우 상이한 기계적 거동 양상을 띠게 되며 균질화 기법을 나노 크기의 허니콤 구조물에 적용하기 위해서는 이러한 표면 효과를 반영해야만 한다. 본 논문에서는 표면 효과를 고려한 유한 요소를 제안하고 이를 이용하여 나노 크기의 3차원 허니콤 구조물을 균질화 기법을 이용하여 등가의 2차원 판으로 대체하였다.

Nanocomposites have been considered innovative composite materials that have multi-functionality and high performance. Because the incorporation of nanoscale fillers may significantly improve the electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties of composites, numerous extensive studies on the characterization of nanocomposites with nanoscale fillers have been performed. In particular, the development of nanocomposites using carbon-based nanoscale fillers (e.g., carbon nanotubes, carbon black, graphene nanoplates) have attracted much interest in the composite field. This paper provides a review of recent advances in the electrical/mechanical characteristics of nanocomposites, which are essential for their practical applications. Furthermore, this paper revisits the recent research on multi-scale modeling, which is a promising approach for predicting the characteristics of nanocomposites. The current challenges and future development potentials for multi-scale modeling are also discussed.

We propose a metal-dielectric hybrid waveguide structure consisting of a single metal nanowire placed on a flat dielectric slab. Mode size and propagation loss of the surface-plasmons confined in the metal-dielectric gap are compared with those of the complementary structure with a dielectric nanowire on a metal surface. In the case of the nanowire's diameter much smaller than the wavelength the two structures reveal quite different characteristics; the dielectric nanowire-on-metal has longer propagation distance, but only the metal nanowire-on-dielectric exhibits a mode size two fold smaller than the diffraction limit. The proposed hybrid structure may therefore be more suitable for realization of nanocavity lasers.

An electrospinning process was used to fabricate poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanofibers embedding multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWNTs). SEM images showed that the nanofiber surface and structural morphology depended on solvent types (dimethyl formamide, chlor-form and toluene) and carbon nanotube contents (0.5 and $3.0\;wt\%$). Nano-fiber alignments could be controlled by adjusting the electrodes configuration at collector sites. Relationship between carbon nanotube and PMMA nanofiber was studied with radius of gyration of polymer chain and carbon nanotube sizes. As the carbon nanotube content ratio increased, the number of bead increased.
