세종 산개성단 탐사관측 연구의 일환으로 중년 산개성단 NGC 2353에 대한 UBVI CCD 측광을 수행하였다. 측광학적인 방법으로 성단 내의 구성원을 선정하였으며, 이로부터 이 성단의 성간소광과 거리를 각각 E(B-V)=$0.10\pm0.02mag$와 $d=1.17\pm0.04\;kpc$으로 얻었다. 성단 구성원의 공간적인 분포를 통해서 성단의 형태가 북서 방향에서 남동 방향을 잇는 축을 중심으로 타원의 형태를 띠고 있는 것을 발견하였다. Padova 그룹이 제시한 이론적인 등연령 곡선을 관측한 색등급도에 맞춤으로써 이 성단의 나이를 1억 3천만년으로 추정하였으며, 이는 기존 연구보다 나이가 많은 것으로 나타났다. 구성원의 거리지수 분포에서 이 성단의 거리지수보다 밝은 곳에 나타나는 쌍성의 분포를 Gaussian 분포와 맞추어 $46\pm4%$ 정도의 최소 쌍성비율을 추정하였다. 마지막으로 광도함수와 질량함수를 유도하였고, 질량함수의 기울기는 $\Gamma=-1.4\pm0.2$를 얻었다.

UBVI CCD photometry of the intermediate age open cluster NGC 7790 has been obtained using AZT-22 1.5 m telescope (f/7.74) at the Maidanak Astronomical Observatory in Uzbekistan. NGC 7790 contains three ${\delta}$ Cep variable stars including CEa Cas, CEb Cas, and CF Cas. PSF photometry was carried out using IRAF/DAOPHOT for all observations. The total number of stars observed both in V and I filter was 1008 and the limiting magnitude was $V{\approx}22$. To determine atmospheric extinction coefficients and photometric zero points, many blue and red standard stars as well as the standard stars in the celestial equator under various airmass were observed. Photometric data were transformed into the standard Johnson-Cousins' UBVI standard system. From the analysis of UBVI color-magnitude diagram and color-color diagram, the color excess in V and I filter [$E(B-V)=0.58{\pm}0.02$], the selective extinction ratio in V and I filter [$R_V{\equiv}A_V/E(B-V)=3.02{\pm}0.09$] and distance modulus ($V_0-M_V=12.65{\pm}0.10$) of the cluster were determined. The age of the cluster was estimated to be log $age=8.05{\pm}0.05$ [yr] based on the position of these three Cepheid variables in the color-magnitude diagram, the isochrone of the Geneva group ($Ekstr{\ddot{o}}m$ et al., 2012-Z=0.019), and the isochrone of the Padova group (Bressan et al., 2012-Z=0.014) were used to compare each other. Of them, the Geneva models that considered stellar rotation well described the position of ${\delta}$ Cepheid variables in the blue loop. Although they were well consistent with standard period-luminosity relation of ${\delta}$ Cepheid variables, three Cepheid variables in NGC 7790 were, on average, brighter by about 0.5 mag than the absolute magnitude estimated from the mean period-luminosity relation at a given period.

We characterized the properties of the fabricated filter with the total internal reflection mirror (TIR) in the rectangular ring resonator and very small multimode interference (MMI) couplers on an InP material platform for photonic integrated circuits. Coupling power in and out of a resonator is increased by using an optimum MMI length of 110 ${\mu}m$ and a width of 9 ${\mu}m$, respectively. The semiconductor optical amplifier with the length of 120 ${\mu}m$ is integrated in the resonator to compensate the loss of the internal waveguide and the TIR mirror. A free spectral range of approximately 2 nm (244 GHz) is observed with an on-off ratio of 13 dB. The curve fitting also yields the power coupled per pass as 42%. To reach critical coupling at this coupling level would require a round trip loss of about 2.4 dB.

According to the nuclear safety regulation policy including the administration of radionuclides in low level radwastes, the evaporator bottoms were mixed with cement to form a stable solidification for identifying the recovery possibility of the C-14. The chemical oxidation method was applied for the extraction of C-14 from the cement waste form. The emitting beta ray of the C-14 extracted from the radwastes was measured with the liquid scintillation counter and calculated by using the quenching correction curves. Only the beta emitting radioactive nuclides of the C-14 in the radwastes was showed the radioactivities with the range of $2.7E+00\;{\sim}\;3.07E+02$ Bq/g.

적록청(Red, Green, Blue : RGB)의 세 기본 염료(primary dyes)를 사용하여 백색 유기전계발광소자(White Organic Light Emitting Devices : WOLEDs)을 유기물 분자선 증착(Organic Molecular Beam Deposition)방법에 의해서 제작하였다. 소자의 구조는 $ITO/{\alpha}-NPD(40nm)/DPVBi(6nm)/Alq_3(12nm)/Alq_3:DCJTB(7nm,3%)\;or\;DPVBi:DCJTB(7nm,3%)/Alq_3(35nm)/MgAg(150nm)$으로, red 발광층의 host 물질을 $Alq_3$ 또는 DPVBi의 두 종류를 사용하여 소자를 제작하였다. 이들 소자들은 전류밀도가 증가함에 따라 스펙트럼 곡선의 변화가 거의 보이지 않았으며, 색좌표는 전류밀도 $20mA/cm^2$에서 (0.34,0.34)이고 $100mA/cm^2$에서(0.32,0.33)으로 비교적 안정적이였다. $Alq_3$을 red 발광층의 host로 사용한 소자는 $10mA/cm^2({\sim}6V)$에서 luminance yield가 1.87cd/A 또는 $100cd/m^2({\sim}5.5V)$에서는 발광효율 1.21m/w으로, DPVBi을 red 발광층의 host로 사용한 소자보다 약 20%의 효율향상을 보였다. 그러나 전류밀도 $30mA/cm^2$ 이상에서는 발광효율이 반전되어 나타났다. 이런 현상은 DPVBi을 red 발광층의 host로 사용한 소자가 $Alq_3$을 red 발광층의 host로 사용한 소자보다 발광 소광 현상이 적게 일어난 것에 기인하였다고 생각된다. 두 소자 모두 $40mA/cm^2$ 에서 이상적인 화이트 발란스와 같은(0.33,0.33)의 색좌표를 보였다.

The goal of this work was to optimize the liquid scintillation counting techniques for the determination of C-14 in environmental samples such as biological and air samples. Carbon-14 activities in most environmental samples were measured with direct $CO_2$ absorption method. The highest figure of merit was found through the variation of Carbosorb $E^{TM}$ and Permatluor $V^{TM}$ ratio, in the measurement windows. The best condition was 1:1 volume ratio. Average 2.35 g of $CO_2$ was reproducibly absorbed in the 20 ml mixture within 40 min. The counting efficiency determined by repeated analysis of NIST oxalic acid standard and the background count rate were measured to be $58.8{\pm}1.4%$ and $1.88{\pm}0.06\;cpm$, respectively in case of saturated solution. The correction curves of counting efficiency for partially saturated solutions and for saturated solutions with quenching were prepared, respectively. The overall uncertainty of the sample specific activity for near background levels was estimated to be about 7 % for 4 hours counting at 95 % confidence level. The long-term stability of samples has been checked for all the counting techniques over a two week periods, and no apparent change in counting efficiency and background level was found at that time.

The oxidation studies of a sulfur to a sulfate ion by various oxyhalide oxidants in organic (thiourea, methionine) and inorganic (sulfate, thiophosphate) compounds were carried out in an acidic solution. The optimized result of the oxidation reaction was obtained when a bromate compound (${BrO_3}^-$) as an oxidant and a 3 M $HNO_3$ solvent were used. The chemical yield for the oxidation of the organic and inorganic sulfur compounds to a sulfate ion was monitored as 80% for thiophosphate, 87% for methionine, and 100% for thiourea and sulfate within 5% RSD. The oxidations of thiourea required at least 1.6 equivalents of the bromate in an acidic solution. In the case of the oxidation of methionine and thiophosphate, the oxidation yields were above 80% if the bromate was used at 20 times higher than that of the substrates. The sulfate ion was quantitatively measured by using a GPC counting of $^{35}S$ followed by precipitates of $BaSO_4$. A quenching correction curve for the $^{35}S$ counting was obtained to use the difference via the precipitate weight result.

The macro tidal flat of the Gochanggun Myongsasipri, located on the southwestern coast of Korea, is studied in terms of seasonal variations of surface sediment and sedimentary environment. Surface sediments of 45 sites in the winter (February) and the summer (August) are sampled across three survey lines (15 sites in each survey line), respectively. The tidal flat of open-coast Myongsasipri is mainly composed of fine to medium sand, the distribution of which shows a coast-parallel trend. Grain-size distribution has a bi-modal trend, and grain size in the winter is coarser than that in the summer. During the winter, the upper tidal flat is dominated by medium sand, while the lower tidal flat is dominated by find sand. Such a feature is attributed to wave-dominated sedimentation in the winter. The finer grains of the summer rather than that of the winter and relationship between texture parameters suggest that tidal energy plays an important role in tidal-flat sedimentation during the summer. This study represents an environmental change from wave-dominated conditions in the winter to tide-dominated conditions in the summer as a result of the seasonal variation in the intensity of onshore-directed winds and waves in the Myongsasipri tidal flat.
