  • The helium ion microscope (HIM) has recently emerged as a novel tool for imaging and analysis. Based on a bright ion source and small probe, the HIM offers advantages over the conventional field emission scanning electron microscope. The key features of the HIM include (1) high resolution (ca. 0.25 nm), (2) great surface sensitivity, (3) great contrast, (4) large depth-of-field, (5) efficient charge control, (6) reduced specimen damage, and (7) nanomachining capability. Due to the charge neutralization by flood electron beam, there is no need for conductive metal coating for the observation of insulating biological specimens by HIM. There is growing evidence that the HIM has substantial potential for high-resolution imaging of uncoated insulating biological specimens at the nanoscale.

  • 대기 중의 황산염 입자는 인체 건강에 좋지 않은 영향을 미칠 뿐 아니라, 지구에 유입되는 빛을 산란시키고 구름을 생성하는 핵으로 작용함으로서 직ㆍ간접적으로 햇빛을 차단하여 전지구적 기후 변화에 상당한 역할을 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 황산염 입자는 대기 중 SO$_2$의 산화에 의해 주로 생성되는데, 지금까지의 대기 모델을 활용한 연구에 의하면 대기 중의 SO$_2$의 양에 비해 황산염의 양은 과소 평가되고 있다. 이는 대기 중 황산염의 생성에 대한 대기 화학 반응기전이 제대로 파악되지 않아서 global scale의 예측이 불확실하기 때문이다.

  • Electromagnetic shielding, transparent ITO coating layers have deposited on ocular lens substrate by magnetron sputtering. We investigated the effect induced by the substrate temperature on coating layer. The characteristics of the coating layers were analyzed using surface profiler, four-point probe, XRD, spectrophotometer and Auger Electron spectroscopy. As substrate temperature became higher, carrier concentration was increased and transmittance in the visible region was increased, too.

  • We designed a novel ultra-miniaturized microcolumn structure having an stigmator to significantly improve throughput per unit time, which is the biggest disadvantage of microcolumns. We adopted the structure of the stigmator in the form of an electrostatic octupole electrode, and used an electrostatic quadrupole deflector with a relatively simple structure considering the increase in wiring due to the introduction of the stigmator. We have dramatically reduced the effect of astigmatism that occurs when the electron beam probe is scanned to the periphery of the target by introducing the stigmator between the control electrode and the deflector. As our numerical analysis simulation results, the field of view obtained as a result of this study is about 46.3% improved compared to our previous study, and the electron beam probe size of less than 10 nm was achieved in the entire field of view.

  • Electron temperature, electron density and electron energy distribution function were measured in Radio-Frequency Inductively Coupled Plasma(RFICP) using a probe method. Measurements were conducted in argon discharge for pressure from 10 mTorr to 40 mTorr and input rF power from 100W to 600W and flow rate from 3 sccm to 12 sccm. Spatial distribution of electron temperature, electron density and electron energy distribution function were measured for discharge with same aspect ratio (R/L=2). Electron temperature was found to depend on pressure, but only weakly on power. Electron density and electron energy distribution function strongly depended on both pressure and power. Electron density and electron energy distribution function increased with increasing flow rate. Radial distribution of the electron density and electron energy distribution function were peaked in the plasma center. Normal distribution of the electron density, electron energy distribution function were peaked in the center between quartz plate and substrate. These results were compared to a simple model of ICP, finally, we found out the generation mechanism of Radio-Frequency Inductively Coupled Plasma.

  • This paper describes the development of an ozone detector and an electron probe as parts of scientific payloads for sounding rockets such as the KSR-III. Each detector consists of sensor parts and electronic parts. We successfully carried out the calibration tests with developed ozone detector and the space plasma simulation chamber tests with electron detector. These payloads could be onboard the KSR-III and with measured data, it is expected and temperature profile over the Korean Peninsular.
