홀 추력기는 플라즈마를 이용하는 전기추력기 중 하나로, 인공위성의 자세제어, 궤도수정, 궤도천이 뿐만아니라 행성간 임무수행을 위한 우주선의 엔진으로 사용된다. 홀 추력기 채널 내부에 발생된 Xe 이온들은 양극과 음극 사이에 존재하는 전기장에 의해 가속되어 추력을 발생시킨다. 이때 Xe 이온들은 자기장에 의해 감금된 전자와 중성 Xe 원자 사이의 충돌에 의해 발생하며, 실험적 및 이론적 연구를 통해 단일 전하를 띤 이온(Xe II)뿐만 아니라 다중 전하(Xe III 등)를 띤 이온도 생성되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이온의 전하량 비율은 홀 추력기의 추력효율 및 연료효율에 영향을 미치며, 다중 전하를 띤 이온의 높은 에너지는 채널벽의 침식문제를 야기하는 등 홀 추력기 이온빔의 전하량 분석 연구는 물리적 연구측면 뿐만아니라 실용적인 측면에서도 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 자기장과 그에 수직한 방향의 전기장에서 발생하는 로렌츠 힘을 이용하여 이온의 전하량을 분석할 수 있는 $E{\times}B$ 탐침을 설계 및 개발하였다. 개발된 $E{\times}B$ 탐침은 70 mm 길이의 집속기와 $148{\times}138{\times}90mm$의 본체, 40 mm길이의 콜렉터로 구성된다. $E{\times}B$ 탐침 설계에 가장 중요한 균일한 자기장 설계를 위해 전산모사를 통해 최적화 작업을 진행하였으며, 실험을 위한 진단계의 최적화와 초기 실험결과가 발표될 예정이다.

Nonlinear dynamical behaviors of plasma in the Pierce diode are investigated by a numerical code developed using a one dimensional fluid model. The plasma in Pierce diode is alternately stable and unstable as Pierce parameter is changed. The dynamical characteristics of neutral and non-neutral Pierce system is examined analytically and numerically. It alternately has growing and oscillatory mode as Pierce parameter varies. As Pierce parameter is decreased, each oscillatory mode undergoes a sequence of subharmonic period-doubling bifurcation and then culminate in a chaotic strange attractor. The analysis for this nonlinear behavior can be used as a model for understanding of beam-plasma interaction in more complex geometries and a data for chaos control.

Neutron reflectometer has been installed at HANARO, research reactor in Korea. It has vertical sample geometry and the wavelength of incident neutron beam is $2.459\;\AA$ Neutron fluxes at monochromator and sample position were $4.5\times10^9\;n/cm^2/sec,\;6.64\times10^6\;n/cm^2/sec4 those were measured by gold wire activation method. Also, some reference thin films such as d-PS, $SiO_2$ were measured and analyzedwith HANARO neutron reflectometer. As result of the work, it was certified that minimum reflectivity and available Q range were $10^{-6},\;and\;0.003\sim0.3\;\AA^{-1}$ respectively.

Basic research for the determination of boron content in biological sample has been carried out using the PGAA facility of the 24MW research reactor(HANARO). For investigation of characteristics for the measurement condition, neutron flux and its homogeneity were measured at irradiating geometry. The size of thermal neutron beam collimated from beam guide is $2{\times}2cm^2$ at the sample position. The neutron flux measured was the range of $1.0{\sim}6.5{\times}10^7n{\cdot}cm^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, and flux distribution from center within the radius of 4.5 mm and 9.0 mm was $5.77{\pm}0.71{\times}10^7n{\cdot}cm^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ and $4.68{\pm}1.64{\times}10^7n{\cdot}cm^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, respectively. Accordingly, sample size is adjusted within 10 mm for a homogeneous irradiation of high quality. Measurement system is designed to reduce the background source by Compton scattering and to improve the analytical sensitivity. To investigate the energy calibration and Compton suppression effect of gamma-ray counting system, the background conditions on both of Compton and single-mode were measured using NaCl standard. On the other hand, degree of spectral interference for sodium 472 keV peak as a matrix effect in the sample is established for an accurate boron analysis, and then boron content in three certified reference materials (NIST SRM 1570a, 1547, 1573a) was measured by using two modes and the results were compared with each other.
