  • As the use of virtual simulation expands, digitally reconstructed radiographs (DRRs), which mimic conventional simulation films, play an increasingly important role as reference images in the verification of treatment fields. The purpose of our study is to develop an algorithm for computation of digitally reconstructed radiographs based on Monte Carlo simulation that take into account almost all possible physical processes by which photons interact with matter. The Monte Carlo simulation based DRRs have the following features. 1) Account has been taken of almost all possible physical processes of interaction of photons with matter, including a detector (film) response. In principle, this is equivalent to X-ray radiography. 2) Arbitrary photon energies (from diagnostic to therapeutic) can be used to produce DRRs. One can even use electrons as the source. 3) It is easy to produce a double exposure, which mimics the double exposure portal image and may have superior visual appeal for treatment field verification, with weighting within the treatment field.

  • This paper describes the information for quantitative simulation of weakly ionized plasma. We must grasp the meaning of the plasma state condition to utilize engineering application and to understand materials of plasma state. Using quantitative simulations of weakly ionized plasma, we can analyze gas characteristic. In this paper, the electron Ionization and diffusion Coefficients in $CH_4$ has been analysed over the E/N range 0.1~300[Td], at the 300[$^{\circ}K$] by the two term approximation Boltzmann equation method and Monte Carlo Simulation. Boltzmann equation method has also been used to predict swarm parameter using the same cross sections as input. The behavior of electron has been calculated to give swarm parameter for the electron energy distribution function has been analysed in $CH_4$ at E/N=10, 100 for a case of the equilibrium region in the mean energy. A set of electron collision cross section has been assembled and used in Monte Carlo simulation to predict values of swarm parameters. The result of Boltzmann equation and Monte Carlo Simulation has been compared with experimental data by Ohmori, Lucas and Carter. The swarm parameter from the swarm study are expected to sever as a critical test of current theories of low energy scattering by atoms and molecules.

  • Study on the electron transport coefficient in mixtures of CF4 and Ar, have been analyzed over a range of the reduced electric field strength between 0.1 and 350[Td] by the two-term approximation of the Boltzmann equation (BEq.) method and the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS). The calculations of electron swarm parameters require the knowledge of several collision cross-sections of electron beam. Thus, published momentum transfer, ionization, vibration, attachment, electronic excitation, and dissociation cross-sections of electrons for $CF_4$ and Ar, were used. The differences of the transport coefficients of electrons in $CF_4$ mixtures of Ar, have been explained by the deduced energy distribution functions for electrons and the complete collision cross-sections for electrons. The results of the Boltzmann equation and the Monte Carlo simulation have been compared with the data presented by several workers. The deduced transport coefficients for electrons agree reasonably well with the experimental and simulation data obtained by Nakamura and Hayashi. The energy distribution function of electrons in $CF_4-Ar$ mixtures shows the Maxwellian distribution for energy. That is, $f({\varepsilon})$ has the symmetrical shape whose axis of symmetry is a most probably energy. The proposed theoretical simulation techniques in this work will be useful to predict the fundamental process of charged particles and the breakdown properties of gas mixtures. A two-term approximation of the Boltzmann equation analysis and Monte Carlo simulation have been used to study electron transport coefficients.

  • The present article is concerned with the application of the Monte Carlo simulation to electrochemistry of lithium intercalation from the thermodynamic view point. This article first introduced the fundamental concepts of the ensembles, and Ising and lattice gas models in statistical thermodynamics for the Monte Carlo simulation in brief. Finally the Monte Carlo method based upon the lattice gas model was employed to analyse thermodynamics of the lithium intercalation into the transition metal oxides. Especially we dealt with the thermodynamic properties as the electrode potential curve and the partial molar internal energy and entropy of lithium ion in the case of the $LiMn_2O_4$ electrode, and consequently confirmed the utility of the Monte Carlo method in the field of electrochemistry of the lithium intercalation.

  • The present article is concerned with the application of the kinetic Monte Carlo simulation to electrochemistry of lithium intercalation from the kinetic view point. Basic concepts of the kinetic Monte Carlo method and the transition state theory were first introduced, and then the simulation procedures were explained to evaluate diffusion process. Finally the kinetic Monte Carlo method based upon the transition state theory was employed under the cell-impedance-controlled constraint to analyse the current transient and the linear sweep voltammogram for the $LiMn_2O_4$ electrode, one of the intercalation compounds. From the results, it was found that the kinetic Monte Carlo method is much relevant to investigate kinetics of the lithium intercalation in the field of electrochemistry.

  • In our paper is reported a new 3D(dimensional) trajectory split approach with greatly improved efficiency for the Monte Carlo simulation of the 3D profiles of implanted ionand point defect concentrations in single-crystal silicon. This approach has been successfully implemented in our TRICSI Monte Carlo code. Combined with the previously developed model for damage accumalation in our TRICSI code, this model allows phasically based dynamic simulation of 3D profiles over an subsequent process simulation such as diffusion modeling and simulation. A typical time saving of over 10 timeshas been achieved for 3D simulation. Our method ensures much better region aground the implanted area. For 1-D simulation, the optimized condition for trajectory split has set to 3,000 pseudoparticles with 2 split branches.

  • A Monte Carlo simulation incorporated with the genetic algorithm is presented to describe the defect known as "transition from Y-to X-type deposition" of the cadmium arachidate Langmuir-Blodgett multilayer film. Simulation is performed based on the detachment models of XY-type deposition. The transition is simulated by introducing a probability of surface molecule detachment considering interaction between neighboring molecules. The genetic algorithm is incorporated into Monte Carlo simulation to get the optimum value of the probability factors. The distribution of layers having different thickness predicted by the simulation correlates well with the measured distribution of thickness using the small-angle X-ray reflectivity. The effect of chain length and subphase temperature on the detachment probability are investigated using the simulation. Simulation results show that an increase (or a decrease) of two hydrocarbon chain is roughly equivalent to the detachment probability to a temperature decrease (or increase) of 15 K.

  • Dynamic response of an elastic pendulum system under random excitations was studied by using the Lagrangian equations of motion which uses the kinetic and potential energy of a target system. The responses of random excitations were calculated by using Monte Carl simulation which uses the series of random numbers. The procedure of Monte Carlo simulation is generation of random numbers, system model, system output, and statistical management of output. When the levels of random excitations were changed, the expected responses of the pendulum system showed various responses.

  • To analyze the threat decision performance of MWR(Missile Warning Radar) give analysis on condition that we decide the effective threat using the POC(Probability of Over Countermeasure)/PUC(Probability of Under Countermeasure). Thus, we execute the simulation using the Monte-Carlo method to analyze effect, but the execution time of simulation took longer than we expected. In this paper, the effect analysis is proposed using the probability model to reduce the execution time of simulation. We present the setting method of parameter for probability model and the effect analysis result of MWR using the simulation. Also, we present the comparison result of simulation execution time for Monte-Carlo and probability model.
