Purpose: The purpose of this study is to find a optimal beam spoiler condition on the dose distribution near the surface, when treating a squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck and a lymphatic region with 10 MV photon beam. The use of a optimal spoiler allows elivering high dose to a superficial tumor volume, while maintaining the skin-sparing effect in the area between the surface to the depth of 0.4 cm. Materials and Methods: The lucite beam spoiler, which were a tissue equivalent, were made and placed between the surface and the photon collimators of linear accelerator. The surface-dose, the dose at the depth of 0.4 cm, and the maximum dose at the dmax were measured with a parallel-plate ionization chamber for $5{\times}5cm\;to\;30{\times}30cm^2$ field sizes using lucite spoilers with different thicknesses at varying skin-to-spoiler separation (SSS). In the same condition, the dose was measured with bolus and compared with beam spoiler. Results: The spoiler increased the surface and build-up dose and shifted the depth of maximum dose toward the surface. With a 10 MV x-ray beam and a optimal beam spoiler when treating a patient, a similer build-up dose with a 6 MV photon beam could be achieved, while maintaining a certain amount of skin spring. But it was provided higher surface dose under SSS of less than 5 cm, the spoiler thickness of more than 1.8 cm or more, and larger field size than $20{\times}20cm^2$ provided higher surface dose like bolus and obliterated the spin-sparing effect. the effects of the beam spoiler on beam profile was reduced with increasing depths. Conclusion: The lucite spoiler allowed using of a 10 MV photon beam for the radiation treatment of head and neck caner by yielding secondary scattered electron on the surface. The dose at superficial depth was increased and the depth of maximum dose was moved to near the skin surface. Spoiling the 10 MV x-ray beam resulted in treatment plans that maintained dose homogeneity without the consequence of increased skin reaction or treat volume underdose for regions near the skin surface. In this, the optimal spoiler thickeness of 1.2 cm and 1.8 cm were found at SSS of 7 cm for $10{\times}10cm^2$ field. The surface doses were measured 60% and 64% respectively. In addition, It showed so optimal that 94% and 94% at the depth of 0.4 cm and dmax respectively.

Purpose : To obtain the uniform dose at limited depth to entire surface of the body, the dose characteristics of degraded electron beam of the large target-skin distance and the dose distribution of the six-dual electron fields were investigated Materials and Method : The experimental dose distributions included the depth dose curve, spatial dose and attenuated electron beam were determined with 300 cm of target-skin distance (TSD) and full collimator size (35*35 $cm^2$ on TSD 100 cm) in 4 MeV electron beam energy. Actual collimated field size of 105 cm * 105 cm at the distance of 300 cm could include entire hemibody. A patient was standing on step board with hands up and holding the pole to stabilize his/her positions for the six-dual fields technique. As a scatter-degrader, 0.5 cm of acrylic plate was inserted at 20 cm from the body surface on the electron beam path to induce ray scattering and to increase the skin dose. Results : The full width at half maximum(FWHM) of dose profile was 130 cm in large field of 105*105 $cm^2$ The width of $100\pm10\%$ of the resultant dose from two adjacent fields which were separated at 25 cm from field edge for obtaining the dose unifomity was extended to 186 cm. The depth of maximum dose lies at 5 mm and the 80$\%$ depth dose lies between 7 and 8 mm for the degraded electron beam by using the 0.5 cm thickness of acrylic absorber. Total skin electron beam irradiation (TSEBI) was carried out using the six dual fields has been developed at Stanford University. The dose distribution in TSEBI showed relatively uniform around the flat region of skin except the protruding and deeply curvatured portion of the body, which showed excess of dose at the former and less dose at the latter. Conclusion : The percent depth dose, profile curves and superimposed dose distribution were investigated using the degraded electron beam through the beam absorber. The dose distribution obtained by experiments of TSEBI showed within$\pm10\%$ difference except the protruding area of skin which needs a shield and deeply curvatured region of skin which needs boosting dose.

In this paper, we introduce a method to improve the accuracy of the length estimation of targets using a radar. The HRRP (High Resolution Range Profile) obtained from a received radar signal represents the one-dimensional scattering characteristics of a target, and peaks of the HRRP means the scattering centers that strongly scatter electromagnetic waves. By using the extracted scattering centers, the downrange length of the target, which is the length in the RLOS (Radar Line of Sight), can be estimated, and the real length of the target should be estimated considering the angle between the target and the RLOS. In order to improve the accuracy of the length estimation, parametric estimation methods, which extract scattering centers more exactly than the method using the HRRP, can be used. The parametric estimation method is applied after the number of scattering centers is determined, and is thus greatly affected by the accuracy of the number of scattering centers. In this paper, in order to improve the accuracy of target length estimation, the number of scattering centers is estimated by using AIC (Akaike Information Criteria), MDL (Minimum Descriptive Length), and GLE (Gerschgorin Likelihood Estimators), which are the source number estimation methods based on information theoretic criteria. Using the ESPRIT algorithm as a parameter estimation method, a length estimation simulation was performed for simple target CAD models, and the GLE method represented excellent performance in estimating the number of scattering centers and estimating the target length.

This paper derives the electric field integral equation to calculate scattering from arbitrary large target above and radiating of an electric line source within a lossy ground. Sommerfeld’s type integral requires a lot of time to calculate and has some difficulties and limitations for an analysis region. But SDP (steepest descent path) integration gives fast calculation of the integral, and the result shows that SDP integration has the validity for all over the analysis region with fast evaluation. Moment method with SDP integration is used to calculate the scattering of an arbitrary large conducting target and the results are compared with that of the numerical integration with Gaussian quadrature rule and GPOF (generalized pencil of function) method.

The scattering problems from electromagnetic absorbers can be greatly simplified using the transmission line approximations (TLA) and effective medium theory. This method has been widely used for the absorber design because of its very simple calculation and intuitional approach, while numerical analysis needs the tremendous computation requirements, This paper examined the accuracy and limitations originated by the intrinsic approximation limits of TLA by comparison with FEM results for various absorber design examples. It was found that the TLA result is valid when λ $\geq$ 2p, where λ is the wavelength of the interested upper frequency and p is the distance between two periodic cone arrays. Therefore, the electromagnetic absorbers having high material properties and big base-area commonly do not meet this condition, and the electromagnetic scattering from those absorbers must be evaluated by the numerical analysis in those cases.

낮은 세기의 레이저와 정지한 전자가 반응하면 전자는 레이저 전기장 세기에 비례하여 가속되며 레이저의 파장과 같은 파장의 빛을 낸다. 반면, 레이저의 세기가 일정 수준을 넘으면 전자의 속도가 빛의 속도에 가까워지게 되어 가속이 둔화되는 현상이 나타나며, 더 이상 전기장의 세기와 가속도가 비례하지 않게 된다. 이러한 비선형적인 전자의 운동이 레이저 기본 파장의 조화파(harmonic)를 발생시키는데, 이를 상대론적 비선형 톰슨 산란(relativistic nonlinear Thomson scattering, RNTS)이라고 한다. 단일 전자를 가정한 경우 RNTS에 의해 아토초($10^{-18}$ 초) 길이의 X선 펄스가 발생하는 것이 시뮬레이션 연구를 통해 잘 알려졌다. [1] 그러나, 실제 실험에서 적용할 수 있는 것은 단일 전자가 아니라 고체, 플라즈마, 전자 빔 등의 전자 덩어리이다. 전자덩어리를 구성하는 각각의 전자가 아토초 펄스를 발생시더라도 각각의 펄스 간에 결맞음(coherence) 조건이 맞지 않으면 아토초 펄스는 발생되지 않는다. 또한, 강한 세기의 펄스를 얻는데도 결맞음은 중요하다. 이 연구에서는 결맞음 조건으로 얇은 타깃에 대한 거울 반사 조건, 즉 레이저가 얇은 타깃에 입사되며 거울의 반사 조건을 만족하는 위치에 검출기(detector)를 위치시키는 방법을 제안하였다. 박막이 충분히 얇을 경우 각각의 전자에 대하여 레이저가 발사되어 타깃에 맞고 검출되기까지의 시간이 거의 일치하게 된다. 거울 반사 조건에 의한 아토초 펄스 발생은 particle-in-cell 방법을 통한 시뮬레이션으로 검증되었다. 결맞음 조건을 위한 얇은 타깃으로는 박막과 나노선 배열(nanowire array)을 사용하였다. 전자들 간의 쿨롱(Coulomb) 힘은 결맞음이 유지되는 것을 방해하는데, 박막에 비해 나노선 배열이 쿨롱 힘의 영향을 적게 받기 때문에 결맞음이 더 잘 유지된다.

ZnO 나노선 구조는 나노선 구조를 통해 입사한 빛을 산란시켜 광흡수를 촉진시키고, 바닥 전극으로 바로 이어진 수직의 1차원 구조를 통해 전자가 빠르게 이동할 수 있으며, 넓은 표면적을 가지고 있는 등의 장점을 가지고 있어 오래전부터 광전소자에 이용되었다. 하지만 ZnO 물질 자체의 밴드갭 에너지가 3.2 eV로 비교적 큰 편이라 가시광 영역의 빛을 흡수, 이용하기 위해서는 작은 밴드갭을 가지는 광감응 물질이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 저온의 수열합성법을 통해 합성한 ZnO 나노선 구조 상에 Cd 계열의 무기물 양자점을 증착하여 이종구조를 형성하는 방법을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 양자점인 CdS와 CdSe는 벌크 밴드갭 에너지가 각각 2.3 eV, 1.7 eV로 가시광 영역의 빛을 흡수할 수 있으며, ZnO 나노선과 type-II 밴드구조를 가지기 때문에 전자-정공 분리 및 포집에 유리하다. 합성된 구조를 이용하여 photoelectrochemical 특성을 분석하였으며, 그 결과 양자점의 증착으로 광전류 생성이 향상됨을 확인하였다. 특히 ZnO 나노선 상에 CdS 양자점 증착 후 추가적으로 CdSe 양자점을 증착하여 다중접합 나노선 구조를 형성한 경우 광전류 생성이 가장 크게 향상된 결과를 확인하였다.

Purpose : The vertex scalp is always tangentially irradiated during total skin electron beam(TSEB) This study was discuss to the dose distribution at the vertex scalp and to evaluate the use of an electron reflector. positioned above the head as a means of improving the dose uniformity. Methods and Materials Vetex dosimetry was performed using ion-chamber and TLD. Measurements were 6 MeV electron beam obtained by placing an acrylic beam speller in the beam line. Studies were performed to investigate the effect of electron scattering on vertex dose when a lead reflector $40{\times}40cm$ in area, was positioned above the phantom. Results : The surface dose at the vertex, in the without of the reflector was found to be less than $37.8\%$ of the skin dose. Use of the lead reflector increased this value to $62.2\%$ for the 6 MeV beam. Conclusion : The vertex may be significantly under-dosed using standard techniques for total skin electron beam. Use of an electron reflector improves the dose uniformity at the vertex and may reduce or eliminate the need for supplemental irradiation.
