산업의 발전함에 따라 고기능성 박막의 수요가 증가하고 있으며, magnetron sputtering, e-beam evaporation, ion beam 등을 이용한 박막 증착에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 그러나 기존 방법만으로는 박막 접착계면의 불균일로 인해 고기능성 박막 성장이 어렵다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 박막 공정 중 고밀도 플라즈마 소스(high density plasma source)를 통해 추가적인 에너지를 인가하여 박막의 밀도를 bulk 수준으로 증가시키고 내부 응력을 조절하는 연구에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 특히 grid를 이용하여 플라즈마 내 이온의 입사에너지를 증가시킴으로써, 기존 공정보다 고기능성 박막을 구현할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 RF power를 이용한 inductively coupled plasma를 통해 플라즈마를 생성시킨 후 grid에 DC power를 인가하는 플라즈마 소스를 개발하였으며, 시뮬레이션을 통해 plasma density와 ion current density, ion energy 분석 및 grid 디자인을 하였다. 개발된 플라즈마 소스는 ion energy analyzer를 통해 RF power 및 grid에 인가하는 power의 세기에 따라 이온화 정도 및 이온의 입사에너지를 측정하였다.

The focused MVDR (Minimum Variance Distortionless Response) can be applied for source localization in near field. However, if the number of sensors are increased, it requires a large amount of calculation to obtain the inverse of the covariance matrix. In this paper we propose a focused MVDR method using that beam space is formed from output of far field beamformer at the subarray. The performances of the proposed method was evaluated by simulation. As a result of simulation, the proposed method has the higher spatial resolution performance then the conventional delay-and-sum beamformer.

In the beam pattern synthesis problem using line source, the relationship between source distribution function and beam pattern may be represented by Fourier transform pair. In this paper, a general method to synthesize the line source distribution for a desired lobe-like beam pattern is presented by developing the nonlinear inversion method based on an iterative sampling technique. This method can be applied to the synthesis of continuously distributed dielectric constants satisfying the desired inverse scattering coefficient patterns when illuminating by TE-polarized and TM-polarized plane waves to arbitrary dielectric material. Furthermore this method can also be applied to the synthesis of transmission line with arbitrary reflection coefficient patterns. Some bandstop spatial filter and dispersive transmission line filter are illustrated for generality.

Acoustic Emission (AE) technology is an effective nondestructive testing for continuous monitoring of defect formation and failures in structural materials. This paper presents a source location model using Acoustic Emission (AE) sensors in a Pre-Stressed Concrete (PSC) beam and the evaluation of the model was performed through lab experiments. 54 AE events were made on the surface of the 5m-PSC beam using a Schmidt Hammer and arrival times were measured with 7AE sensors. The source location f3r each event was estimated using least squares. The results were compared with actual positions and the RMSE (Root Mean Square Errors) was about 2cm.

It is well recognized recently that acoustic emission, which is an elastic wave generated from rapid release of elastic energy in steressed solids, is very useful tool for on-line monitoring of microscopic behavior of deformation of material. In this study, three point bend test was performed to evaluate the microscopic damage progress during the loading and failure mechanism of mortar beam by monitoring the characteristic of AE signal. The relationship between AE characteristic and microscopic failure mechanism is discussed. In addition 2 dimensional AE source location based on triangular method was also done to monitor the intiation and propagation of micro crack around notch tip of mortar beam. It was shown that AE source location was very effective to predict the growth behavior of micro crack in mortar beam specimen.

Land seismic reflection survey has been increasingly demanded in various civil engineering works because of its own ability to delineate layers, water table, to detect cavities or fracture zones, to estimate seismic velocities of each layer. However, our shallow subsurface structures are very complex. The relatively thin layer(mostly soil) to the wavelength directly followed by a basic rock with high impedance used to generate complicated surface waves, kind of channel waves with high amplitude that is dominate in entire seismograms and hence the useful reflection events will be almost hopelessly immersed in the undesired surface waves. Thus, it would seem that the use of traditional seismic survey could not be likely to provide in itself a satisfactory information about our exploration targets. This paper hence introduces an efficient measuring strategy illustrating a properly controlled arrangement of the vertical single force sources commonly used, yielding a very sharply elongated form of P-energy with a minimum of S radiation energy, what we call, P-beam source. Abundant experiments of physical modeling showed that in that way the surface waves could be enormously reduced and the reflection events would be additive and thus reinforced. Examples of field data are also illustrated. The contribution of P-beam source will be great in civil engineering area as well as in general geological exploration area.

Quenched dye laser (QDL), which operates with relaxation oscillation mode, is one of the most powerful source for ultra-short pulse light. In this paper, the output characteristics of QDL is theoretically analyzed by a computer simulation. The QDL is assumed that the laser dye is Rhodamine 6G which has the oscillation wavelength of 590 nrn and that the active length is 5 mm and that the pumping source is XeCllaser which has oscillation wavelength of 308 nm. It is revealed ilim the pulse width of short cavity dye laser reduced less than 1/100 than pumping pulse duration and has the linear relationship with spatial width of pumping beam approximately. In addition, it is revealed that the short cavity dye laser is a powerful candidate of pulse width variable light source, which is adjusted by spatial size of pumping beam_ beam_

The vuv spectrometer for ITER main plasma measurement is designed as a five-channel spectral system. To develop and verify the design, a two-channel prototype system was fabricated with No. 3 (14.4-31.8 nm) and No. 4 (29.0-60.0 nm) among the five channels. For test of the prototype system, a hollow cathode lamp is used as a light source. The system is composed of a collimating mirror to collect the light from source to slit, and two holographic diffraction gratings with toroidal geometry to diffract and also to collimate the light from the common slit to detectors. The overall system performance was verified by comparing the measured spectral resolutions with the calculated spectral resolutions. And we also have developed liquid jet target system. This study is about a neutron generator, which is designed to overcome many of the limitations of traditional beam-target neutron generators by utilizing a liquid target. One of the most critical aspects of the beam-target neutron generator is the target integrity under the beam exposure. A liquid target can be a good solution to overcome damage to the target such as target erosion and depletion of hydrogen isotopes in the active layer, especially for the ones operating at high neutron fluxes and maintained relatively thin with no need for water cooling. In this study, liquid target containing hydrogen has been developed and tested.

High energy Photon beam has a sharp beam margin due to a less side scatter and the other things. But there still remains a penumbra where the dose changes rapidly in the region near the edge of a radiation beam, although it is short in width. It is suggested that the width of the penumbra depends on the source size, distance from source to diaphragm, source to skin distance, and depth in tissue. However, it is also supposed that the other factors influence the penumbra width. In this paper, we investigate changes of the physical penumbra widths according to various field sizes and depths, by using the three dimensional dosimetry system. As a result, we found that as field size and depth increase, the physical penumbra width also increases.

We propose a new method of X-ray backscatter imaging which is a significant development of the well known flying spot approach. Instead of sweeping the imaged object by pencil X-ray beam, and recording the amplitude of backscattered radiation in order to form the raster image, the object is irradiated with a fan beam of X-rays, forming a line on the imaging plane. By properly chosen motion of the collimating slit, a set of lines, which makes up a 2D sinogram of the original object, can be collected. The backscatter image can then be obtained using one of the tomographic reconstruction algorithms, such as the filtered backprojection, which is well known in computed tomography or nuclear medicine. The feasibility of the method has been demonstrated experimentally using a prototype scanner with an industrial X-ray source. The main advantage of our method is the essentially more efficient use of the available X-ray source beam, by illuminating the object with a substantially larger photon flux at each time point. As a result, the image can be obtained at much shorter acquisition time and/or at much lower source power.
