Mn-Zn ferrite thin films were deposited on $SiO_2(1000 \AA)/Si(100)$ by ion beam sputtering using a single ion source. A mosaic target consisting of a single crystal(ll0) Mn-Zn ferrite with a Fe metal strip on it was used. As-deposited films without oxygen gas flow have a wiistite structure due to oxygen deficiencies, which originated from the extra metal atoms sputtered from the metal strips during deposition. The as-deposited films with oxygen gas flow, however, have a spinel structure with (111) preferred orientation. The crystallization of thin films was maximized at the ion beam extraction voltage of 2.lkV, at which the deposited films are bombarded appropriately by the energetic secondary ions reflected from the target. As the extraction voltage increased or decreased from the optimum value, the crystallinity of thin films becomes poor owing to a weak and severe bombardment of the secondary ions, respectively. Crystallization due to the bombardment of the secondary ions was also maximized at the beam incidence angle of $55^{\circ}$. The as-deposited ferrite thin films with a spinel structure showed ferrimagnetism and had an in-plane magnetization easy axis.

In this paper, we experimentally investigate the fiber fuse in single-mode 2-kW-class high-power fiber amplifiers, depending on the cooling method at the splicing point. We measured the temperature of the splicing point between the pump-signal combiner and gain fiber as a function of laser output power. The temperature of the splicing point increased from 20 to 32℃ with a slope of 0.01℃/W, up to 1.2 kW of laser output power. At higher powers the temperature of the splicing point increased dramatically, with a slope of 0.08℃/W. After that, the fiber amplifier was destroyed during operation at 1.96 kW of output power by fiber fuse. The bullet shape, a common feature of fiber fuse, was observed in the damaged passive fiber core of the pump-signal combiner. Later, we adopted an improved water-cooled cold plate to increase the cooling efficiency at the splicing point, and investigated the laser output power. The temperature at the splicing point was 35.8℃ with a temperature-rise slope of 0.007℃/W at the maximum output power of 2.05 kW. The beam quality M² was measured to be less than 1.3, and the output beam's profile was a stable Gaussian shape. Finally, neither fiber fuse nor mode instability was observed in the fiber amplifier at the maximum output power of 2.05 kW.

When an integrated circuit device is burned out under high-intense radiation and device-level simulation that usually requires manufacturer's proprietary information is not available, experimental conformation of a failure mechanism is often the only choice. To distinguish Latchup from other causes experimentally, a new combination of multiple techniques have been developed and demonstrated. Power supply circumvention, hot-spot monitoring using an infrared camera, and supply current monitoring techniques were implemented for the conformation of the Latchup.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare volumetric modulated arc therapy(VMAT) with fixed-field intensity modulated radiation therapy(IMRT) using non-coplanar beam when the shape of target is irregular and the location is adjacent to organ at risk(OAR). Materials and Methods: The subjects of this study were a total of 6 patients who had radiation therapy for whole scalp(2 patients), partial scalp(2 patients), and whole ventricle(2 patients) by True Beam STX(Varian Medical Systems, USA). VMAT plans consisted of coplanar or non-coplanar arcs which can minimize the volume of OAR included in beamlets. All fixed-field IMRT plans consisted of non-coplanar beams using more than 2 angles of Couch. Results: The VMAT and IMRT plans were compared with regard to the maximum dose of both lens, both optic nerves, optic chiasm, and brain stem and the mean dose of both eyeballs and hippocampus. VMAT plans showed higher dose than ncIMRT plans at more than 6 of all OARs in every patient, and the ratio was from 1.1 times to 8.2 times. In case of total scalp and partial scalp, the volume of brain which received more than 20 Gy in the VMAT plans was 2 times larger than the volume in the ncIMRT plans. In case of whole ventricle, there was no significant difference. Target coverage was satisfied in both plans($PTV_{100%}=95%$). The maximum dose in target volume and required monitor unit(MU) of ncIMRT were higher than them of VMAT plans. Conclusion: Even though ncIMRT is less efficient than VMAT with regard to required MU and treatment time, the dose to OARs is much lower than VMAT and PTV Coverage is similar with VMAT. If the shape of target is irregular and location is adjacent to OAR, comparison VMAT plan with ncIMRT plan deserves to be considered.

As aircrafts are being operated at high altitude, wing structures experience various fatigue loadings under cryogenic environments. As a result, fatigue damage such as a crack could be develop that could eventually lead to a catastrophic failure. For this reason, fatigue damage monitoring is an important process to ensure efficient maintenance and safety of structures. To implement damage detection in real-world flight environments, a special cooling chamber was built. Inside the chamber, the temperature was maintained at the cryogenic temperature, and harmonic fatigue loading was given to a wing structure. In this study, piezoelectric active-sensing based guided waves were used to detect the fatigue damage. In particular, a beamforming technique was applied to efficiently measure the scattering wave caused by the fatigue damage. The system was used for detection, growth monitoring, and localization of a fatigue crack. In addition, a sensor diagnostic process was also applied to ensure the proper operation of piezoelectric sensors. Several experiments were implemented and the results of the experiments demonstrated that this process could efficiently detect damage in such an extreme environment.

TEM is a powerful tool for semiconductor material analyses in structure or biological sample in micro structure. TEM observation need to make to coincide specimens for special purpose. in this paper, we have experimented for minimum surface damage on bulk wafer and patterned specimen by various conditions such as accelerating energy, depth of ion beam, ion milling types, and etc. in various specimen preparation methods by FIB (Focus Ion Beam). The optimal qualified specimens are contain low mounts of surface damage(about 5 nm) on patterned specimen.

본 실험에서는 수 MW/$ extrm{cm}^2$ 의 매우 낮은 영역의 세기에서 순수한 GaAs의 bulk에 대하여 실험한 결과 비선형 흡수가 나타남을 관찰 하였으며, 더불어 자유전하 흡수 계수를 여러 가지 세기의 빛에서 측정한 결과 자유전하 흡수 단면적이 빛의 세기에 따라 변화하는 것을 관찰하였다.$^{(1)}$ GaAs의 굴절률이 3.6으로 매우 커서 Fabry-Perot 효과가 나타나므로 시료의 한쪽 면을 SiN로 무반사 코팅을 하여 실험 하였다. GaAs의 표면은 쉽게 레이저 빛에 의해 손상을 입는 것을 고려하여 같은 자리에서 여러 번의 실험을 하여 같은 결과가 나오는 것을 확인하여 실험 결과를 얻었다. 사용된 레이저는 Nd:YAG 레이저로서 1.064 $mu extrm{m}$의 파장에서 7 나노초의 펄스를 방출한다. 빛의 세기는 편광기와 half wave plate를 이용하여 변화 시켰다.

엑사이머 레이저는 Ar, Kr, Xe등의 희귀가스와 F, Cl과 같은 할로겐족 가스를 혼합하여 방전여기에 의해 발진되는 157-350mm 파장대에 자외선 레이저이다.

레이저클리닝이란 레이저빔을 표면에 조사하여 오염 물질을 제거하는 공정 기술로서 건식 세정방식이다. 본 연구에서는 레이저클리닝을 금속문화재에 코팅된 아크릴수지에 적용하여 제거 가능성 및 표면 특성을 조사하였다. 실험 결과 소지금속에 손상을 주지 않으면서 아크릴수지를 제거하는 레이저 조건을 확인하였으나 청동유물에 적용한 결과 아크릴수지와 파티나 층이 함께 제거되는 레이저클리닝의 문제점도 확인할 수 있었다. 앞으로 다양한 레이저 시스템 및 파장별 실험을 진행하여 청동 파티나층의 제거 가능성을 검토하면 레이저 클리닝을 청동 문화재에 적용하는데 도움이 될 것으로 본다.
