We have observed a large increase in the magnetoresistance (MR) of Bi thin films, which were subjected to a post-annealing procedure at $268^{\circ}C$C, $3^{\circ}C$ below the Bi melting point. We have achieved an increase in the MR by 260-fold and 1200-fold at 5 K and 5 T after post-annealing, as compared with 190 and 620 for an as-deposited Bi film on PbTe/CdTe(111) and on mica, respectively. The large MR increase by post-annealing might be due to the improvement of crystallinity according to the x-ray analysis. However, post-annealing over a certain amount time showed the reduction in MR values.

The eye of human is a radiation sensitive organ and this organ should be shielded from radiation exposure during brain CT procedures. In the brain CT procedures, bismuth protector using to reduce the radiation exposure dose for eye. But protecting the bismuth always accompanies problem of the image quality reduction including artifact. This study aim is the eye radiation exposure dose and image quality evaluation of the new tube current modulation such as new organ based-tube current modulation, longitudinal-TCM, angular-TCM between shielding scan technique using bismuth and lead glasses. As a result, radiation dose of eye is reduced 25.88% in new OB TCM technique then reference scan technique and SNR new OB TCM is 6.05 higher than bismuth shielding scan technique and lower than reference scan technique. In clinical brain CT, new OB TCM technique will contribute to reduction of radiation dose for eye without decrease of image quality.

The Pb-Ag-Bi-S system minerals such as galena-matildite solid solutions, cosalite and heyrovskyite occur in the Nakdong As-Bi deposits. Galena-matildite solid solutions commonly coexisting with native bismuth fill in microfractures of pyrite grains and form irregular shapes. Cosalite forms composite grains including native bismuth, heyrovskyite and Bi-Te-S system minerals in the matrix of quartz vein. Matildite from the Nakdong deposits has an end member composition, $Ag_{1.07-1.11}Bi_{1.12-1.20}S_2$, and an excess concentration of $0.3{\sim}2.4$ mole % $Bi_2S_3$ compared to the stoichiomeoic value. PbS concentrations in $PbS-AgBiS_2$ solid solutions do not exceed 54 mole %. The average chemical composition of cosalite in the study area is $Pb_{1.79}Bi_{2.29}Ag_{0.12}S_5$. Pb is slightly depleted compared to the ideal composition, but the concentrations of Ag and Cu reach as much as 1.47 wt.% and 0.27 wt.%, respectively. Heyrovskyite has the chemical formula of $Pb_{5.01}Ag_{0.26}Bi_{2.70}S_9$ suggesting that there occurs the coupled substitution of $2Bi^{3+}$ for $3Pb^{2+}$ as well as that of $Ag^++Bi^{3+}$ for $2Pb^{2+}$. The genetic condition of Pb-Ag-Bi-S system minerals can be confined to the temperature of $220{\sim}270^{\circ}C$ and the pressure below 200 bars.
