  • Coherent diffraction imaging (CDI) method using hard x-ray at 5.46 keV was applied to study assembly of Ni and Ni oxide nano structures formed on a Si3N4 membrane. Density distribution of Ni nano-particles was obtained quantitatively with about 15 nm lateral resolution by reconstructing images from the speckle diffraction pattern. In addition, reconstructed images of nickel oxide particles indicated that Ni atoms diffuse out during the oxidation process leaving pores inside the nickel oxide crust. Furthermore, we recognize that really weak phase object, less than 5 nm thickness of Ni residues, can be reconstructed due to the reference particles. We achieved quantitative information of nanometer sized materials and demonstrate the effect of reference particles by using hard x-ray coherent diffractive imaging method.

  • 본 연구에서는 거머리의 미세한 해부구조를 3차원적으로 분석 가능한 방사광의 경 엑스선 이미징을 통하여 객관적 분석법 및 생체모사기술 구축을 위한 기초자료를 구축하고자 하였다. 우리는 방사광을 이용하여 거머리의 미세 구조영상을 얻을 수 있었고, 3차원적인 해부학적 분석이 가능함을 확인하였다. 또한 방사광을 통해 얻은 데이터는 내부구조의 미세조직까지 관찰 가능하기 때문에 성분 분석 및 생리적, 기능적 측면으로도 연구의 토대가 될 것으로 사료된다. 더 나아가 추후 거머리로부터 생체모사기술 연구 분야 등에 기여할 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.

  • The Pohang Accelerator Laboratory X-ray Free Electron Laser (PAL-XFEL) is a 0.1 nm hard X-ray FEL which aims at providing photon flux higher than $1{\times}10^{12}$ photons/pulse using a 10-GeV electron linac. The vacuum system of the machine consists of an injector section including an S-band photocathode RF gun, 10-GeV electron linac section based on S-band normal conducting accelerating structures and a 150-m long out-vacuum undulator system. We introduce the present status of PAL-XFEL vacuum systems.

  • We report preliminary results from our radio study of X-ray selected complete AGN sample in the Local Universe (z < 0.05), using the KVN/KaVA. The main goal is to probe the parsec-scale radio properties of the X-ray selected AGNs, which has not been done systematically before. The BASS (Burst Alert Telescope AGN spectroscopic survey) sample from the Swift-BAT hard X-ray all-sky survey is the least biased AGN sample against dense gas/torus obscurations compared to optically selected AGNs, providing ideal targets to study the general properties of local AGNs in radio wavelengths. Combining our radio data with BASS X-ray/optical measurements, we will probe the relations of radio powers with the fundamental quantities of black holes such as bolometric luminosity, black hole mass, and Eddington ratio. Using these relations, we will discuss our current understandings of how accretions and jets of local AGNs are linked together, and what they imply for the nature of our AGN sample.

  • The short time scale X-ray variability associated with the accretion disk around compact objects is complex and is vaguely understood. The study of the cross correlation function gives an insight into the energy dependent behavior of the variations and hence connected processes. Using high resolution RXTE data, we investigate the dynamical cross correlation function of an observation of a black hole source XTE J1550-564 in the steep power law state. The cross correlation between soft and hard X- ray energy bands revealed both correlated and anti-correlated delays (${\leq}{\pm}15s$) on a correlation time scale of 50 s. It was noticed that the observed delays were similar to the delays between X-ray and optical/IR bands in other black hole and neutron star sources. We discuss the possible mechanisms/processes to explain the observed delays in the dynamical CCF.

  • The ultra hard X-ray band (14-195 keV) provides an important and unbiased way to understand black hole growth and relationship to the host galaxy. The Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) instrument on the Swift satellite has surveyed sky to unprecedented sensitivity, improving the number of known hard X-ray sources by more than a factor of 20 to 836 nearby AGN. The BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey (BASS) is a study for the first large (N>600) and complete sample of ultra hard X-ray selected AGN with optical spectroscopy. In this talk, I present the observed relationship between black hole mass, bolometric luminosity, and Eddington ratio with optical emission line ratios. We show that [NII]/Ha ratio exhibits a significant correlation with Eddington ratio. We propose that the [NII]/Ha ratio is a useful indicator of Eddington ratio with 0.6 dex of scatter, and that it can be used to measure Eddington ratio and thus black hole mass from the measured bolometric luminosity, even for high redshift obscured AGN.

  • 다양한 질환이 발생 될 수 있는 임신중에 산모의 건강상태를 검사하기 위해서는 임산부의 X-ray 흉부촬영이 필수적으로 이루어지게 된다. 따라서 임산부의 X-ray 흉부촬영에 관한 의료용 방사선의 사용은 기본적인 검사로 사용되어지고 있다. 따라서 임신초기인 착상기 부터 태아의 각종 장기 형성 및 기관 형성기까지 대부분의 임신기간은 방사선의 직접적인 차폐가 요구되어진다. 하지만 현재 사용되고 있는 납치마는 임산부가 직접 손으로 잡고 있고 는 불편함으로 인한 산모의 정확한 X-ray 흉부촬영 자세가 이루어지지 않고 있는 실정이다 또한 이러한 결과로 인해 산모의 X-ray 흉부촬영 영상이 폐첨부와 견갑골이 자주 겹쳐 흉부영상이 질적으로 저하되는 현상을 가져다 주고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위해 산모용 납치마를 제작하였다. 결과적으로 새로 디자인한 산모용 납치마는 산모의 X-ray흉부 촬영시 편한 자세를 유지 할 수 있게 해주었다. 아울러 산모가 정확한 자세를 취 할 수 있게 되었다. 더 나아가서 산모의 X-ray흉부 촬영시 견갑골과 폐첨부가 겹치는 현상을 최소화 해주어서 산모의 흉부촬영 영상에 최적화된 이미지를 제공 할 수 있게 해 주었다.

  • Thermal reactive diffusion coating of vanadium carbide on DIN 2714 steel substrate was performed in a molten borax bath at $950-1050^{\circ}C$. The coating formed on the surface of the substrate had uniform thickness ($1-12{\mu}m$) all over the surface and the coating layer was hard (2430-2700 HV), dense, smooth and compact. The influence of the kinetics parameters, temperature and time, has been investigated. Vanadium carbide coating was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The corrosion resistance of the coating was evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization in 3.5% NaCl solution. The results obtained showed that decrease of coating microhardness following increasing time and temperature is owing to the coarsening of carbides and coating grain size.

  • 다공질 암석의 공극구조는 그 암석의 수리-역학적 거동에 매우 큰 영향을 미친다. 다공질 암석의 공극구조 특성을 표현하는 대표적인 방법은 공극률, 공극크기분포, 방향성 등이 있다. 암석의 유효공극률은 실험적으로 비교적 쉽게 구할 수 있지만, 공극의 크기분포 특성을 파악하는 것은 매우 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 X-ray CT를 이용하여 대표적 다공질 암석인 베레아 사암의 공극구조 중 공극크기분포를 이미지 기반으로 평가하였다. 공극크기분포 평가를 위해 본 연구에서는 이미지 필터링, 이진화, 골격화 등의 이미지 기반 처리 작업을 수행하였으며, 국부 두께평가 및 star chord를 이용하여 베레아 사암의 공극크기분포를 구하였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 X-ray CT 기반의 공극크기분포 평가방법을 이용하여 향후 다공질 재료의 공극구조 평가에 새롭고 효율적인 방안을 제시하고자 하였다.

  • Clusters of galaxies are believed to constitute a population of astrophysical objects potentially able to emit electromagnetic radiation up to gamma-ray energies. Evidence of the existence of non-thermal radiation processes in galaxy clusters is indicated from observations of diffuse radio halos, hard X-ray and EUV excess emission. The presence of cosmic ray acceleration processes and its confinement on cosmological timescales nearly inevitably yields in predicting energetic gamma-ray emission, either directly deduceably from a cluster's multifreqency emission characteristics or indirectly during large-scale cosmological structure formation processes. This theoretical reasoning suggests several scenarios to actually detect galaxy clusters at gamma-ray wavelengths: Either resolved as individual sources of point-like or extended gamma-ray emission, by investigating spatial-statistical correlations with unidentified gamma-ray sources or, if unresolved, through their contribution to the extragalactic diffuse gamma-ray background. In the following I review the situation concerning the proposed relation between galaxy clusters and high-energy gamma-ray observations from an observational point-of-view.
