We calculated the energy distribution and the percentage depth-dose at 10 cm in a $10{\times}10\;cm^2$ with a photon beam at SSD of 100 cm by using a Monte Carlo Simulation. PDD is used as a beam-quality specifier for radiotherapy beams. It is better than the commonly used values of TPR or nominal accelerating potential. The presence of electron contamination affects the measurement of PDD, but can be removed by the use of a 0.1 cm lead filter. It reduces surface dose from contaminant electrons from the accelerator by more than 90% for radiotherapy beams. The filter performs best when it is placed immediately below the head. An electron-contamination correction factor is introduced to correct for electron contamination from the filter and air. It converts PDD which includes the electron contamination with the filter in place into PDD for the photons in the filtered beam. The correction factor can be used to determine stopping-power ratio. Calculations show that the values of water-to-air slopping power ratio in the unfiltered beam are related to PDD.

Electron contamination due to the interaction between radiation beam and material was analyzed for the factors such as source-skin distance (SSD), field size, tray characteristics and position of filter, which can affect the surface dose in Cobalt teletherapy. Surface dose in open beam was more influenced by SSD with increasing field size. Relative surface charge (RSC) increased with the use of tray (solid, circular hole, slotted), compared with open beam, which is thought to be due to increased electron contamination of the tray. To reduce the surface dose, 0.4mm thick Lipowitz metal filter was used. Compared with open beam, RSC decreased by 8.8%, 11.3%, 13.3%, 16.6%, 19.3% and 21.7% for the field size of $5{\times}5$, $10{\times}10$, $15{\times}15$, $20{\times}20$, $25{\times}25$ and $30{\times}30cm^2$, respectively. On the contrary, use of Lipowitz metal filter increased RSC at 60cm or less SSD. Surface dose was effectively reduced with Lpowitz metal filter placed right below solid tray in Cobalt teletherapy.

목적 : 광자선과 블록을 얻는 트레이와의 상호작용에 의해 생성된 2차 전자는 피하층에 과도 한 선량증가의 원인이 된다. 이런 전자오염으로 인한 표면선량을 감소시키기 위해 트레이 아래 전자필터를 부착하는 것이 유용하다. 대상 및 방법 :두께가 다른 Cu판, Al판 그리고 Cu/Al 복합판을 사용하여 전자오염에 의한 표면선량을 감소시키는 효과를 측정하였다. 최적의 필터를 찾기 위해서 $10m\times10cm$ 조사야와 SSD 78.5cm의 기하학적 모형으로 표면에서부터 최대선량 지점까지 2mm 간격으로 흡수선량을 측정하였다. 최적필터의 조사야 의존성을 구하기 위해서 $4cm\times4cm$에서부터 $25cm\times25cm$까지 조사면적을 변화시켜가며 흡수선량을 측정하였다 결과 : 표면선량은 조사면적을 증가시키면 서서히 증가하였고 $15cm\times15cm$ 조사면적 이상에 서는 표면선량이 급속히 증가하였다. Al판을 사용했을 경우 표면선량이 최대선량 지점의 선량보다 낮게 유지되지 않으므로 Al판은 전자필터로는 부적합하였으며 0.5mm Cu판과 Cu/Al=0.28mm/1.5mm 복합판이 최적 전자필터로 결정되었다. 두가지 최적필터의 경우 $4cm\times4cm$ 조사면에서는 표면선량을 $5.5\%$(tray 사용할때 표면선량에서 filter 사용할때 표면선량을 뺀 것) 낮출 수 있었고 $10cm\times10cm$에서는 $11.3\%,\;25cm\times25cm$에서는 $21.3\%$로 낮출 수 있었다. 결론 : 전자오염에 기인한 표면선량은 조사면적에 의존하였고 트레이를 설치했을때 표면의 전자오염은 많았고 특히 조사면적이 클 때 표면의 전자오염은 더욱 증가하였다 표면 및 build-up영역의 선량 특성을 측정한 결과 0.5mm Cu판과 Cu/Al=0.28mm/1.5mm 복합판이 최적 필터로 결정되었다. 트레이 밑에 최적 필터를 부착하면 표면선량을 유효하게 감소시킬 수 있었고 필터의 효과는 조사면적이 클 때 더욱 좋았다.

Filtration by fibrous filter is one of the Principle methods used for removing pollutant particles in the liquid. Because of the increasing need to protect both human health and valuable devices from exposure to fine particles, filtration has become more important. Filters have been developed with modified surface charge characteristics to capture and adsorb particles by electrokinetic interaction between the filter surface and particles contained in water. The main purposes of this study are to develop and evaluate the performance evaluation of the apparatus for making a positively charged porous filter media and to analyze the surface characteristics of the filter media for capturing negavitely charged contaminants mainly bacteria and virus from water. The experimental apparatus consists of a mixing tank, a vacuum pumping system, a injection nozzle, a roller press and a controller. The filter media is composed of glass fiber(50-750 nm), cellulose($10-20{\mu}m$) and colloidal charge modifier. The characteristics of filter media is analyzed by SEM(Scanning Electron Microscopy), AFM(Atomic Force Microscopy) and quantified by measuring the zeta potential values.

열 전자 방출 형 전자 빔 장치에서 영상을 획득하기 위해서는 텅스텐 필라멘트에서 발생한 전자빔을 스캔 할 장치가 필요하다. 이때, 스캔 되는 주파수에 따라서 시료 표면에서 튀어 나오는 2 차 전자신호에 대하여 잡음 성분의 발생이 다르게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 잡음 성분 제거를 위한 필터 설계를 위해서 2 차 전자신호에 대한 실시간 주파수 분석을 통해 신호와 잡음 성분을 구분했다. 그리고 부동 소수점 연산이 가능한 DSP 에서 디지털 필터 설계를 통하여 신호대비 잡음 성분 제거를 통하여 고배율로 획득한 전자현미경의 영상의 질을 향상 시켰다.

We have developed a methodology to determine the coronal electron temperature and solar wind speed using a four filter coronagraph system. The method developed so far have been applied to total eclipse observation and have yielded plausible results. The current methodology starts from the assumption that 1) coronal free electrons are isothermal and 2) coronal free electrons have spherically symmetric distrubution. However, the actual solar corona differs significantly from the two assumptions above. The coronal electron density is not spherically symmetric due to streamers, plumes, and coronal loops, and the electron temperature is also expected to increase rapidly with distance from the sun. We will discuss how to determine the temperature and wind speed of the corona in the case of corona with thermal structures and non-spherical symmetric electron density.

One of the most important factors determining the properties of a material is its grain size. However, unclear grain boundaries in the image hinder an accurate measurement of grain size. We demonstrate that grain boundaries existing in the images obtained by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) can be clearly distinguished by applying a Sobel filter to a tilting series of STEM images of a hydrogenation-disproportionation-desorption-recombination processed Nd2Fe14B magnet sample.

We demonstrate a polarization insensitive waveguide filter using quantum well intermixing(QWI). The bandgap of epitaxial layer is modified from 1.55${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 1.40${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ using QWI and a Bragg grating filter is demonstrated using electron beam lithography technology. The fabricated waveguide filter has a 70% reflection efficiency and a 1.46nm filter bandwidth. Furthermore polarization insensitive transmission characteristics are observed. The device can be applied to photonic integrated circuits(PIC).

Low temperature plasma diagnosis is one of the big issues in laboratory scale or processing industry. One of the most powerful techniques of plasma diagnostics is the use of the scattering of electromagnetic radiation from the plasma. Electron temperature and density are important parameters for understanding the information of plasmas in the plasma processing industry. Laser scattering experiments on plasma can provide a substantial amount of information about plasma parameters such as the electron density ne, the electron temperature Te, and the neutral density nn and temperature Tn. Thomson scattering spectroscopy is used several method, in accordance with detector type. Commonly, Thomson scattering is used several notch filter to separate expanded wavelength. Since using a spectrometer with surface relief grating or notch filter, the system of the measurement will be complicated and bigger. In this study, using VPHG (Volume Phase Holographic Grating) in order to install the simple and cheap system. VPHG has the advantage of the system installation, because it can be Transmission Type. The diffraction efficiency and dispersion angle of VPHG is higher than the surface relief grating relatively. For a wavelength and bandwidth selection, Using a slit or mask to select a rejection wavelength instead of notch filter.

The Alcyon Co-60 gamma rays was studied for electron contamination. The surface dose, attributable almost entirely to contamination electrons, has a linear dependence on field width for square fields and an inverse square dependence on distance from the bottom of the fixed head assembly Build-up and surface dose measurements were taken with and without an acrylic blocking tray in place. Further measurements were made with a copper filter designed to reduce secondary electrons emitted by photon interactions with the acrylic tray. The results are discussed in relation to skin sparing effect for radiation therapy Patients. And to achieve the maximum skin sparing effect, the selection of the optimum SSD and TSD is needed.
