  • The study of photoconductor materials is demanded for development for flat-panel digital x-ray Imager. In this paper, We investigated the feasibility of application as x-ray image sensor using Cd(Zn)Te compound with high stopping power on high radiation. These Cd(Zn)Te samples were fabricated by vacuum thermal evaporation method to large area deposition and investigated I-V measurement as applied voltage. The experimental results show that the additional injection Zn in CdTe film reduced the leakage current, for the $Cd_{0.85}Zn_{0.15}Te$ detector, the net charge had the highest value as $144.58pC/cm^2$ at 30 V.

  • Tissue-equivalent $MgB_4O_7$ TL phosphors were prepared and the effects of Lantanides series activators on TLD properties of the phosphors were studied. The glow curve of TLD increased TL intensity and the peak temperature is low that is, the heating rate is $10^{\circ}C/sec$. The activation energy of the main peak estimated by the peak shape method. By these methods, the estimated activation energies were $0.76{\sim}1.55eV$ respectively. The TL phosphors prepared in this work may be utilized to radiation sensor elements because of this high sensitivity to X-ray.

  • To establish the sea surface temperature estimation scheme for the upcoming advanced remote sensor, the quasi-analytical solution of the approximated radiative transfer equation which express the radiative transfer process of the radiant energy radiated from the sea surface to the satellite is approximated into the non-linear equation. To solve the simultaneous approximated radiative transfer equation which express the radiative transfer process of the radiant energy radiated from the sea surface to the satellite is approximated into the nonlinear equation. To solve the simultaneous approximated radiative transfer equation at each channel, the constrained non-linear optimization technique is adopted. To define the coefficients of the approximated radiative transfer equation and the constraints, the satellite detected radiance and the total transmittance are computed from the 1350 kinds of simulated atmosphere / surface models via radiative transfer code. The verification from the simulated data show the sufficient result.

  • In this paper, a solar energy powered bicycle linked to a wireless sensor network (WSN) which monitors the transfer of solar energy to an electrical energy storage unit and an analysis of its effectiveness is proposed. In order to achieve this goal, a solar-powered bicycle with an attached ZigBee and a far-end wireless network supervisory system is setup. Experimental results prove that our prototype, solar energy powered bicycle, can achieve enough solar energy for charging a two lead-acid battery pack. As a result, the user, through use of a wireless network in the parking period can be kept aware of the data on the amount of immediate solar radiation, the degree of illumination, the ambient temperature, and electrical energy storage capacity information of the bicycle through an internet interface.

  • A dosimeter using tissue-equivalent scintillator by photon-counting method was developed and evaluated in its performance. The dosimeter is portable and can be operated by low power from lap-top computer. A data-acquisition software of the dosimeter system was developed by Labwindows/CVI based on Windows. The energy to channel ratio for energy calibration was 0.839 keV/ch. obtained from pulse height spectrum of $^{137}Cs$ and $^{60}Co$ gamma-ray. Using the dosimeter system, the absorbed dose of environmental radiation in Gyungju was 0.18 ${\mu}Sv/h$.

  • Nowadays, SELENE-2 is under development for the moon explorer rover in Japan. AXS(Active X-ray Spectrometer) sensor development among the candidated payloads will be on going by the world-wide co-operation. The thermal design, analysis and test will be specially performed by Korean institutes. CFD techniques are used for the conceptual design and analysis. Thin-shell plate meshes being applied by Monte-Carlo Ray Tracing Method are generated for the thermal radiation analysis. Lumped capacity model is employed for the thermal conduction simulation of the AXS payload itself. Various shapes of the payload configuration with thermal boundary conditions are proposed and selected on the purpose of the analysis of the initial design. The results of the analysis are supposed to be used as the baseline for the further detailed design of the AXS payload in the future.

  • We developed a digital x-ray medical imaging system using commercially available amorphous silicon image sensor plate. The image readout could be accomplished within 3.5 sec after radiation exposure and be displayed on a monitor through computer interface. This system needs not the conventional x-ray films and film processors, and also provides digital radiographic images. This system is the fastest digital radiography system developed so far, and expected to replace many of the conventional x-ray film systems or digital radiography systems.

  • 원자력발전소는 안전성이 가장 중요시되는 국가 기간 설비로서 해마다 over-haul 기간 동안에 중요 설비에 대한 안전성 검사를 수행한다. 그러나 이 약 한달 정도의 over-haul 동안에 모든 중요설비에 대한 진단 작업을 수행하기에는 시간이 턱없이 모자라는 관계로 몇년의 주기로 나누어 검사 계획에 따라 검사 대상 설비를 나누어 검사하는 실정이다. 원자력발전소의 중요 설비에 대한 감시진단은 상시 이루어져야 가장 이상적이나 수많은 유선센서를 이용한 방법은 문제점이 많다. 따라서 무선센서가 사용되고 있는 추세이나 무선센서에 대한 전력 공급 문제가 발생하고 있는 실정이다. 원자력발전소 내부에서는 방사선이라는 특별한 에너지원이 존재하는데, 본 논문에서는 이 에너지원을 이용하여 무선센서의 전력 수급을 해결하기 위한 원자력전지의 개발에 대하여 언급한다.

  • ZnTe epilayers have been successfully grown on (100) CaAs substrate by hot wall epitaxy (HWE) with Zn reservoir. Optimum growth condition has been determined by a four-crystal rocking curve (FCRC). It was found that Zn partial pressure from h reservoir has a strong influence on the quality of grown films. Under the determined optimum growth condition, ZnTe epitaxial films with thickness of 0.72~24.8${\mu}m$ were grown for studying the effect of the thickness on crystalline quality. The FCRC results indicated that the quality of ZnTe films becomes higher rapidly with increase of thickness up to 6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The best value of the FWHM of the few crystal rocking curve, 66 arcsec, was obtained on the film with $12{\mu}m$ in thickness. Until now, this result shows the best quality of ZnTe/GaAs films in reported.
