The streaming rays(SR) method is improved and extended to multigroup, anisotropic scattering, and three-dimensional angular space(x-y-z(infinite))problems. This method is applied to the shielding problems in which the ray effect occurs seriously. For verification, the results of MORSE-CG code are used as reference solution and the results of TWODANT code are compared. The results show that solutions of the SR method are much better than those of the TWODANT code and are in good agreement with those of the MORSE-CG code. Also, to reduce computing time, two acceleration algorithms are implemented in the SR method : the standard coarse-mesh rebalance and a new angular two-grid acceleration.

The variational nodal method for solving the neutron transport equation has evolved over 40 years. Based on a functional form of the Boltzmann neutron transport equation, the method now comprises a complete set of variants that can be employed for different problems. This paper presents an extensive review of the development of the variational nodal method. The emphasis is on summarizing the whole theoretical system rather than validating the methodologies. The paper covers the variational nodal formulation of the Boltzmann neutron transport equation, the Ritz procedure for various application purposes, the derivation of boundary conditions, the extension for adjoint and perturbation calculations, and treatments for anisotropic scattering sources. Acceleration approaches for constructing response matrices and solving the resulting system of algebraic equations are also presented.

LCD-BLU(liquid crystal device-back light unit)에 사용되는 도광판의 미세 산란패턴을 만드는 새로운 방법으로서, 실리콘 웨이퍼의 비등방 식각에 의해 자연적으로 형성되는 3차원 결정면 구조를 이용하는 방법을 제안하였다. 실리콘 3차원 결정면을 갖는 도광판과 프리즘 시트의 원판을 설계 및 제작하였고, casting 공정을 통해 PDMS 재질로 복제된 도광판을 제작하여 특성을 분석하였다. 측정 결과, 기존 인쇄형 도광판에 비해 실리콘피라미드 패턴의 도광판이 $10\%$ 증가된 정면 휘도 효율을 가질 수 있음을 실험적으로 검증하였다.

이방성 자기저항효과(anisotropic magnetoresistance : AMR)는 단층 자성박막으로 구성되므로 경제성 있게 박막화 시켜서 소형화가 가능하다. 기존의 급속응고법으로 생산된 리본형 MCo(M=Cu, Ag) 소자가 경제적으로 공업적 목적을 달성하였으나, 리본형 특유의 두께와 가공성이 부족하여 소형 소자에 함께 집적하기 곤란한 단점이 있었다. 새로운 박막형을 쓰면 추가 열처리 없이 기존의 리본형 소자와 비교하여 박막상태로 적절한 AMR 특성이 나오는지와 최적 AMR을 얻기 위한 Co의 조성을 아는 것이 중요하다. 열증착기를 써서 100nm의 $Cu_{1-x}Co_x$와 $Ag_{1-x}$ 박막을 Co의 조성을 $10{\sim}70wt%$로 달리하며 제작하여 이때의 자기적 특성을 확인하였다. CuCo는 40% Co에 0.5T에서 1.4%, AgCo는 30% Co에 2.6%의 MR비를 얻었고 이는 리본형 소자보다는 표면 산란 효과에 의해 MR비는 작지만 표면산화막 없이 직접 다른 소자공정과 함께 진행할 수 있는 장점이 있음을 확인하였다.

Ultrasonic inspection of heavy walled cast austenitic stainless steel(CASS)welds is very difficult due to complex and coarse grained structure of CASS material. The large size of anisotropic grain strongly affects the propagation of ultrasound by severe attenuation, change in velocity, and scattering of ultrasonic energy. therefore, the signal patterns originated from flaws can be difficult to distinguish from scattered signals. To improve detection and sizing capability of ID connected defect for heavy walled CASS piping welds, the low frequency segmented TRL Pulse Echo and Phased Array probe has been developed. The experimental studies have been performed using CASS pipe mock-up block containing artificial reflectors(ID connected EDM notch). The automatic pulse echo and phase array technique is applied the detection and the length sizing of the ID connected artificial reflectors and the results for detection and sizing has been compared respectively. The goal of this study is to assess a newly developed ultrasonic probe to improve the detection ability and the sizing of the crack in coarse-grained CASS components.

We have developed an self-consistent PDR model to synthesize warm CO lines of Herschel/PACS observations more accurately. The PDR model solves the FUV continuum radiative transfer, gas energetics, and chemistry simultaneously. A local FUV radiation flux is calculated by using a Monte Carlo method taking anisotropic scattering into account. A new (r, ${\delta}$) coordinate system was used, where the r is the distance from the origin and the ${\delta}$ is z/$R^2$ in the cylindrical coordinate of (R,z). This is an adequate coordinate system to represent a power-law density of an envelope and a high spatial resolution near the outflow wall. The gas enegetics and chemistry are solved locally and considered $10^4K$ blackbody radiation field instead of the interstellar radiation filed. This newly developed model can be used to analyze quantitatively the effect of UV-heated outflow walls on the warm molecular lines in the embedded proto-stellar objects.

An accurate cross sections set is necessary for the quantitatively understanding and modeling of plasma phenomena. By using the electron swarm method, we determine an accurate electron cross sections set for objective atoms or molecule at low electron energy range. It is general calculation that used in this method to an two-term approximation of Boltzmann equation. But it may give erroneous transport coefficients for CF$_4$ molecule treated in this paper having \`C2v symmetry\`, therefore, multi-term approximation of the Boltzmann equation analysis which can consider anisotropic scattering exactly is carried out. It is necessary to require understanding of the fundamental principle of analysis method. Therefore, in this paper, we compared the electron transport coefficients(W and ND$\_$L/) in pure Ar, O$_2$, and CF$_4$ gas calculated by using two-term approximation of the Boltzmann equation analysis code uses the algorithm proposed by Tagashira et al. with those by multi-term approximation by Rubson and Ness which was developed at James-Cook university, and discussed an application and/or validity of the calculation method by comparing these calculated results.

It is now widely accepted that the resulting displacement field within elastic, inhomogeneous, anisotropic solids subjected to equipartitioned, uniform illumination from uncorrelated sources, has intensities that follow diffusion-like equations. Typically, coda waves are invoked to illustrate this concept. These waves arrive later as a consequence of multiple scattering and appear at "the tail" (coda, in Latin) of seismograms and are usually considered an example of diffuse field. It has been demonstrated that the average correlations of motions within a diffuse field, in frequency domain, is proportional to the imaginary part of Green's function tensor. If only one station is available, the average autocorrelation is equal to the average squared amplitudes or the average power spectrum and this gives the Green's function at the source itself. Several works address this point from theoretical and experimental point of view. However, a complete and explicit analytical description is lacking. In this work we study analytically some properties of the Green's function, specifically the imaginary part of Green's function for 2D antiplane problems. This choice is guided by the fact that these scalar problems have a closed analytical solution (Kausel 2006). We assume the diffusiveness of the field and explore its analytical consequences.

SnSe single crystal showed a high thermoelectric zT of 2.6 at 923 K mainly due to an extremely low thermal conductivity $0.23W\;m^{-1}\;K^{-1}$. It has anisotropic crystal structure resulting in deterioration of thermoelectric performance in polycrystalline SnSe, providing a low zT of 0.6 and 0.8 for Ag and Na-doped SnSe, respectively. Here, we presented the thermoelectric properties on the K-doped $K_xSn_{1-x}Se$ (x = 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1.5, and 2.0%) polycrystals, synthesized by a high-temperature melting and hot-press sintering with annealing process. The K-doping in SnSe efficiently enhances the hole carrier concentration without significant degradation of carrier mobility. We find that there exist widespread Se-rich precipitates, inducing strong phonon scattering and thus resulting in a very low thermal conductivity. Due to low thermal conductivity and moderate power factor, the $K_{0.001}Sn_{0.999}Se$ sample shows an exceptionally high zT of 1.11 at 823 K which is significantly enhanced value in polycrystalline compounds.

입자수송방정식의 각분할해석법에서 입자흐름방향을 묘사하는 각방향에 대한 각분할집합이 고정된 값이 아니고 각입자속으로 조종되는 각요소법에 근거하여 방사선차폐해석 목적의 전산프로그램(TDET)를 2차원직각좌표계에 대해서 개발하였다. 산란선원항의 각의존성은 Spherical Harmonics Series Expansion으로 해석하였고 입자의 에너지 의존성은 다중에너지군으로 처리하였다. 3 종류의 Benchmark 시험을 통해서 TDET 프로그램을 검증하였다. 평판형 등방적 선원을 가진 사방흡수체에 대한 해석에서 TDET 해석결과가 MORSE-CG 해석결과에 잘 일치하고. 각분할법으로 해석할때 나타나는 Ray effect를 DOT 4.3 보다 잘 치 유하고 있다. 차폐체 내에 좁은 Vacuum duct가 있는 문제의 해석에서 TDET는 MORSE-CG와 마찬가지로 duct를 통한 streaming leak-age에 대해서 분명하고 현저한, 그리고 DOT 4.3보다 매우 훌륭한 해석결과를 보여주고 있다. 원자로차폐구조물 규모에 대해, 2 에너지군, 등방적 산란 및 선형 비등방 산란의 경우에 대해서 해석한 결과 각분할법으로 계산하여 제시하고 있는 기준치에서는 여러 mesh들에 걸쳐 넓은 규모의 Ray effect를 나타내고 있는데, TDET에 의한 해석결과에서는 이웃 mesh들 간에 미세한 Ray effect를 나타내고 있다.
