Trivalent rare-earth ($RE^{3+}=Eu^{3+}\;and\;Tb^{3+}$) ions activated $CaGd_4O_7$ phosphors were synthesized by a sol-gel process. After annealing at $1,500^{\circ}C$, the XRD patterns of the phosphor confirmed their monoclinic structure. The photoluminescence excitation spectra of $Eu^{3+}$ and $Tb^{3+}$ doped $CaGd_4O_7$ phosphor shows the broad-band excitations in the shorter wavelength region due to charge transfer band of completely filled $O^{2-}$ to the partially filled $Eu^{3+}$ ions and f-d transitions of $Tb^{3+}$ ions, respectively. The photoluminescence spectra show that the reddish-orange ions and green emission for $Eu^{3+}$ and $Tb^{3+}$ ions, respectively. Owing to the importance of thermal quenching property in the technological parameters, the temperature-dependent luminescence properties of these phosphors were measured for examing the suitability of their applications in the development of light emitting diodes (LEDs). In addition to those measurements, the cathodoluminescence properties were examined by changing the acceleration voltage and filament current. The calculated chromaticity coordinates of these phosphors were close proximity to those of commercially available phosphors for LED and field emission display devices.

A non-hydrolytic sol-gel process was developed to fabricate low-hydroxyl hard gels. The reaction of tert-butyl alcohol with silicon halides provided transparent low-hydroxyl hard gels. Some properties such as transparency, density, and refractive index was successfully doped into the hard gel matrices. The absorption spectrum of an erbium-doped methylsilsesquioxane was investigated to decide the pumping wavelength of an argon laser. The luminescence of the erbium-doped gel at 664 nm seems to be due to $4^F{9/2}\to 4^I_{15/2}$ transition.

Europium doped yttrium vanadate ($YVO_4$:Eu) phosphor thin films were grown using a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique on silicon substrate. The structural characterization carried out on a series of ($YVO_4$:Eu films at post annealing temperature in the range of 550 $^{\circ}C$-1150 $^{\circ}C$ indicating that films were preferentially (200) oriented at post annealing temperature above 950 $^{\circ}C.$ Photoluminescence of thin film increased with the increase of post annealing temperature and ambient oxygen pressure though the thin film has the powder-like surface morphology at oxygen pressure above 200 mTorr. Photoluminescence decay from $^5D_1$ level of $Eu^{3+}$ show the great concentration dependency, which can be used as a good parameter to control the composition of ($YVO_4$:Eu thin film.

Self assembled $Zn_{x-1}Cd_xS$ nanowires, synthesized on a Indium tin oxide coated glass substrate with low composition of Cd as x=0.09, were fabricated non-precursor via a co-evaporation method using of solid sources of CdS and ZnS. We studies that ZnCdS nanowires are dislocation-free and the single crystalline hexagonal wurtzite structure showed by transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction pattern. Cathode luminescence spectra showed an near band edge peak at 383nm originated from nanowires at 80K and 300K. Core level spectra of the Cd 3d, Zn 2p and S 2p in the ZnCdS nanorods were obtained by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Prepared ZnCdS nanorods showed different shape with increase of substrate temperature at the growth.

목 적: 유방암 환자의 방사선치료 시 엎드린 자세를 적용하면 폐와 심장에 들어가는 선량을 줄일 수 있다. 하지만 빔 방향에 포함되는 couch의 영향으로 피부선량 증가 및 심부선량이 감소한다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 air gap을 이용해서 couch로 인한 영향을 줄일 수 있는 방법을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 본원에서 치료 받은 유방암 환자의 전산화단층영상을 바탕으로 3D 프린터(Builder Extreme 1000)를 이용하여 체적을 동일하게 묘사한 인체모형을 제작하였다. 제작한 인체모형을 전산화단층촬영하고 전산화치료계획시스템(Eclipse 13.6, Varian, USA)을 이용하여 6MV, Field-in-Field technique을 이용한 200 cGy/fx의 치료계획을 수립하였다. 피부선량 측정을 위해 내, 외측 4 지점(Med 1, Med 2, Lat 1, Lat 2)에서 광자극발광선량계(Optically Stimulated Luminescence Detector, OSLD)를 이용한 측정을 진행하였고, 심부선량 측정을 위해 유방의 전면과 후면의 2 지점(Anterior, Posterior)에서 FC65-G ion-chamber를 이용한 측정을 하였다. Couch와 인체모형 사이의 air gap(기준 3 cm)을 1 cm 씩 총 6 cm까지 증가시켜가며 측정하였으며 치료계획 선량을 기준으로 평가하였다. 결 과: 피부선량 측정 결과 외측 지점은 치료계획과 비교하여 ${\pm}5%$ 이내의 유사한 값을 보였다. 내측 1 지점은 air gap이 증가할수록 감소하며 3 cm 이상부터 7 % 이상 감소하였고, 내측 2 지점은 4 % 이상 감소하였다. 심부선량 측정 결과 후면 지점은 air gap 차이에 의한 선량변화가 ${\pm}1%$ 이내의 값을 보였다. 전면 지점의 선량은 air gap이 증가할수록 높아지며 3 cm 이상부터 치료계획 보다 4 % 증가한 값을 보였다. 결 론: 본 실험을 통해 couch와 인체모형 사이의 air gap을 특정 거리까지 증가시켰을 때 couch로 인한 피부선량과 심부선량의 영향이 감소함을 확인하였다. 따라서 유방암 환자에 대한 치료 전 선량평가를 진행하여 각 환자에게 최적의 air gap을 적용한다면 피부보효 효과를 높일 수 있고, 정확한 심부선량의 전달이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Photoluminescent and cathodoluminescent charcteristics of inorganic luminescent materials were investigated ot develop possible phosphors for thin film electroluminescent (TFEL) device applications. Mg, Zn, and Photoluminescent and cathodoluminescent charcteristics of inorganic luminescent materials were investigated ot develop possible phosphors for thin film electroluminescent (TFEL) device applications. Mg, Zn, and $Si_3N_4$ powders were used to synthesize $(Mg_xZn_{1-x})SiN_2$ host materials. $Tb_4O_7$ and $Eu_2O_3$ powdrs were added as luminescent centers. Very sharp emission spectra of $Tb^{3+}$ ions were observed from $Mg._5Zn._5SiN_2:Tb$ sampels sintered at $1400^{\circ}C$ for an hour and the maximum intensity of emission spectra occured at wavelength of 550nm (green light). Synthetic conditions of $(Mg_xZn_{1-x})SiN_2:Eu$ phosphors were optimized for the hghest luminescence. The Eu concentrations were varied from 0.2% to 1.6%. Before firing, the powders were mixed using ballmills, methanol, acetone, or D.I. water. The Mg/Zn ratio also were varied from x=0.3 to x=0.7. The maximum PL intensity was obtained from a sample with 1.2% Eu concentration and the powder was mixed with methanol and dried before firing. The maximum intensity of the emission spectra occurred t the wavelength of 470nm(blue light). TFEL devices fabricated by using sputter deposition of $(Mg._3Zn._7)SiN_2:Eu$ phosphor layer showed yellowish white emission at the phosphor field of 2MV/cm.

Two metal-organic frameworks based on the connectivity co-effect between rigid benzenedicarboxylic acid and bridging ligand have been synthesized $[Zn_2(3-NO_2-bdc)_2(4,4'-bpy)_2H_2O]_n$ (1), $[Co(3-NO_2-bdc)(4,4'-bpy)H_2O]_n$ (2) (where $3-NO_2-bdcH_2$ = 3-nitro-1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, 4,4'-bpy = 4,4'-bipyridine). The two novel complexes were characterized by IR spectrum, elemental analysis, fluorescent properties, thermogravimetric analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). X-ray structure analysis reveals that 1 and 2 are two-dimensional (2D) network structures. Complex 1 and complex 2 belong to triclinic crystal with P-1 space group. The luminescence measurements reveal that two complexes exhibit good fluorescent emissions in the solid state at room temperature. Also, thermal decomposition process and powder X-ray diffraction of complexes were investigated.

$Ce^{3+}$-doped yttrium aluminum gallium garnet (YAGG:$Ce^{3+}$), which is a green-emitting phosphor, was synthesized by solid state reaction using ${\alpha}$-phase or ${\gamma}$-phase of nano-sized $Al_2O_3$ as the Al source. The processing conditions and the chemical composition of phosphor for the maximum emission intensity were optimized on the basis of emission intensity under vacuum UV excitation. The optimum heating temperature for phosphor preparation was $1550^{\circ}C$. Photoluminescence properties of the synthesized phosphor were investigated in detail. From the excitation and emission spectra, it was confirmed that the YAGG:$Ce^{3+}$ phosphors effectively absorb the vacuum UV of 120-200 nm and emit green light positioned around 530 nm. The crystalline phase of the alumina nanoparticles affected the particle size and the luminescence property of the synthesized phosphors. Nano-sized ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ was more effective for the achievement of higher emission intensity than was nano-sized ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$. This discrepancy is considered to be because the diffusion of $Al^{3+}$ into $Y_2O_3$ lattice is dependent on the crystalline phase of $Al_2O_3$, which affects the phase transformation of YAGG:$Ce^{3+}$ phosphors. The optimum chemical composition, having the maximum emission intensity, was $(Y_{2.98}Ce_{0.02})(Al_{2.8}Ga_{1.8})O_{11.4}$ prepared with ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$. On the other hand, the decay time of the YAGG:$Ce^{3+}$ phosphors, irrespective of the crystalline phase of the nano-sized alumina source, was below 1 ms due to the allowed $5d{\rightarrow}4f$ transition of the $Ce^{3+}$ activator.

Red-emitting $Eu^{3+}$-activated $(Y_{0.95-x}Al_x)VO_4$ (0 < x $\leq$ 0.12) nanophosphors with the particle size of ~30 nm and the high crystallinity have been successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal reaction. In the synthetic process, deionized water as a solvent and ethylene glycol as a capping agent were used. The crystalline phase, particle morphology, and the photoluminescence properties of the excitation spectrum, emission intensity, color coordinates and decay time, of the prepared $(Y_{0.95-x}Al_x)VO_4:Eu^{3+}$ nanophosphors were compared with those of the $YVO_4:Eu^{3+}$. Under 147 nm excitation, $(Y_{0.95-x}Al_x)VO_4$ nanophosphors showed strong red luminescence due to the $^5D_0-^7F_2$ transition of $Eu^{3+}$ at 619 nm. The luminescence intensity of $YVO_4:Eu^{3+}$ enhanced with partial substitution of $Al^{3+}$ for $Y^{3+}$ and the maximum emission intensity was accomplished at the $Al^{3+}$ content of 10 mol%. By the addition of $Al^{3+}$, decay time of the $(Y,Al)VO_4:Eu^{3+}$ nanophosphor was decreased in comparison with that of the $YVO_4:Eu^{3+}$ nanophosphor. Also, the substitution of $Al^{3+}$ for $Y^{3+}$ invited the improvement of color coordinates due to the increase of R/O ratio in emission intensity. For the formation of transparent layer, the red nanophosphors were fabricated to the paste with ethyl celluloses, anhydrous terpineol, ethanol and deionized water. By screen printing method, a transparent red phosphor layer was formed onto a glass substrate from the paste. The transparent red phosphor layer exhibited the red emission at 619 nm under 147 nm excitation and the transmittance of ~80% at 600 nm.
