Eu와 Fe를 불순물로 첨가한 BGO 섬광체 단결정을 Czochralski 방법으로 육성하였다. 그리고 육성된 BGO 단결정의 trap 특성을 알기 위하여 활성화 에너지, 주파수인자 및 열발광차수 등 포획매개변수를 구하고, 이것을 순수 BGO 섬광체 단결정의 열형광 특성과 비교하였다. 그리고 육성된 BGO 단결정의 광투과율을 측정하였다.

Optimum conditions for benzene synthesis and liquid scintillation counting have been studied for the determination of radiocarbon age. In benzene synthesis the carbon dioxide converted to benzene with high efficiency of 91%. Yields of each step with 10L of carbon dioxide were $CO_2$ $\rightarrow$$C_2H_2$(94%), $C_2H_2$$\rightarrow$$C_6H_6$(96%) and$CO_2$$\rightarrow$$C_6H_6$(91%), respectively. Benzene synthesized from oxalate was measured with purity of 95% by GC /MS. $\delta^13$(C$^13$C/$^12$C) of oxalate was measured to $-24.7\{textperthousand}$ by massspectrometer. For liquid scintillation counting of benzene sample low background and highest FOM were measured in 0.5 ml cocktail and 3 ml standard solution with the range of 15.4∼74.9 KeV window setting. Oxalate and background samples weremeasured to $28.7\pm0.12$cpm and $3.92\pm0.04$ cpm in 15.4∼74.9 KeV

본 논문에서는 수중 음 전달에 대한 내부파의 영향을 파악하기 위하여 내부파에 의한 음속의 변화량을 수치적으로 구현하고 이를 바탕으로 내부파가 존재할 경우의 음 전달 실험을 수치적으로 수행하였다. 음 전달 수치 실험의 결과를 한국 동해에서 수행된 음향 실험 자료와 비교하였다. 수중 음 전달 수치 실험을 위해서는 Galerkin방법을 이용한 고차포물선 방정식법(SNUPE)를 사용하였다. 음 전달에 대한 내부파의 영향을 파악하기 위하여 불규칙 계수(Scintillation index)를 사용하였고 이를 실제 음향 실험 자료와 비교하였다.

무기 flour로서 방사능물질과 반응하여 섬광을 일으키는 cerium activated ytrium silicate를 폴리설폰 고분자 구조내에 함침시킨 측정막을 제조하고, 이를 이용하여 방사성핵종인 $^3H$-cortisol 으로 오염된 실험실 바닥의 방사능 오염도를 측정하였다. 제조된 측정막을 이용하여 오염지역을 문지르고, 막에 함침된 flour와 오염지역으로부터 막으로 옮겨진 방사능 물질과의 직접 반응에 의해 나타난 섬광을 측정하여 방사성핵종의 양을 결정하였다. 유기 flour 가 용해되어 있는 섬광보조액(scintillation cocktail)의 도움을 필요로 하는 기존의 방사성핵종 측정방법에 비해, 측정막을 이용할 경우 오염도의 측정 효율을 유지하면서 전체적인 방사능 폐기물의 양산을 제어할 수 있는 효과를 거두었다. 한편, 탐지효과의 증대들 위해 시도된 디메틸포름아마이드를 이용한 측정막의 용매 처리는, 막 표면의 형상변화를 유도할 수있었으나, 방사성핵종에 대한 측정효율의 증대로는 귀결되지 않았다.

Surface electrical conduction in insulator is most important factor to assess the insulation performances of outdoor insulating materials. In this paper, contamination performance of the widely used materials for outdoor insulator - porcelain, EPDM, Silicone rubber - were discussed by measuring properties of average leakage current and scintillation discharge pulses under artificial contamination conditions. The artificial contaminations used were deionized distilled water fog, 0.5wt% NaCl salt fog of light pollution and 2wt% NaCl salt fog of medium pollution. The average leakage current was appeared linearly with applied voltage at dry and clean surface condition. The magnitude of leakage current was almost same at different kinds of samples. In case of deionized distilled water fog, the characteristics of leakage current and applied voltage was most different to that in case of dry and clean condition. In case of salt fog pollution condition, The leakage current was increased above critical voltage. The scintillation discharges were also activated at the level. the leakage current and scintillation discharges were increased with increasing pollution degree. The resistance to pollution properties of silicone rubber appeared excellent among them.

Electrical conduction property of insulator surface is most important factor to assess the insulation performances of outdoor insulating materials. In this paper, contamination performance of the materials to be used for outdoor insulator such as porcelain, EPDM, silicone rubber was discussed by measuring properties of average leakage current and scintillation discharge pulses under salt fog conditions. The fog was applied by nozzle in chamber and fogging fluids were deionized distilled water, 0.5wt% NaCI solution and 2wt% NaCl solution. The average leakage current showed linearly with applied voltage at dry and clean surface condition. The magnitude of leakage current was almost same at different kinds of samples. In case of deionized distilled water fog, the characteristics of leakage current and applied voltage were much different to those in case of dry and clean condition with 2wt% salt fog. In case of slat fog pollution condition, the leakage current was increased above critical voltage. the scintillation discharges were also activated at the level. The leakage current and scintillation discharges were increased with increasing pollution degree. The resistance to pollution properties of silicone rubber appeared excellent among them.

Some lead-based crystals show excellent ferroelectric, piezoelectric or scintillation properties and have attracted much attention in recent years. However, the erosion of the high temperature solution on platinum crucible and the evaporation of PbO component are the main problems often encountered during the crystal growth. In this paper, we reported recent progress on the Bridgman growth of lead-based functional crystals, such as novel relaxor ferroelectric crystals (PZNT and PMNT), scintillation crystals $(PbWO_4,\;PbF_2\;and\;PbClF)$ and piezoelectric crystals $(Pb_5Ge_3O_{11}\;and\;Pb_2KNb_5O_{15}),$ in Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The vertical Bridgman method has been modified to grow PZNT crystals from high temperature solution and as-grown crystals have been characterized. Large size lead-based scintillators, $PbWO_4\;and\;PbF_2$ crystals, have been mass-produced by the vertical Bridgman method in the multi-crucible fumace. These crystals have been supplied to CERN and other laboratories for high-energy physics experiments. The Bridgman growth of piezoelectric crystals $Pb_5Ge_3O_{11}\;and\;Pb_2KNb_5O_{15}$ are discussed also.

Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the noninvasive method to diagnose osteoporosis disease characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue. Many global companies and research groups have developed the various DXA detectors using a direct photon-counting detector such as a cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) sensor. However, this approach using CZT sensor has some drawback such as the limitation of scalability by high cost and the loss of efficiency due to the requirement of a thin detector. In this study, a SiPM based DXA system was developed and its performance evaluated experimentally. The DXA detector was composed of a SiPM sensor coupled with a single LYSO scintillation crystal (3 × 3 × 2 ㎣). The prototype DXA detector was mounted on the dedicated front-end circuit consisting of a voltage-sensitive preamplifier, pulse shaping amplifier and constant fraction discriminator (CFD) circuit. The SiPM based DXA detector showed the 34% (at 59 keV) energy resolution with good BMD accuracy. The proposed SiPM based DXA detector showed the performance comparable to the conventional DXA detector based on CZT.

3-PM liquid scintillation counting using the geometry-efficiency variation technique has been applied to the activity measurement of $^{204}T1$, which decays to $^{204}Hg\;and\;^{204}Pb\;by\;{\beta}^-$ and E.C., respectively. The TDCR values K have been derived over a wide range, 0.78 < K < 0.97, by displacing the detectors up to 50 mm away from an unquenched liquid scintillation sample $^{204}Tl$. The derived plots of the logic sums of double coincidences $N_D(K)$ very K vary linearly in the observed regions. The fractions of losses due to electron capture decay have been taken into account by employing a PENELOPE Monte Carlo simulation. The calibrated activity is 102.3 kBq at a reference date of July 1st, 2002 (UT) with a combined uncertainty of $0.63\%$. This is consistent with the value determined by means of the CIEMAT/NIST method at KRISS.

We developed an improved 3-PM liquid scintillation counting (3-PM LSC) method in which three detectors can be displaced to back and forth directions, and a data acquisition system being able to provide the values for all parameters required for the method. The detectors are entirely located in a 20-mm lead chamber of an inner diameter of 500 mm. A saw-toothed gear ties up all detectors so as to move them uniformly, up to 50 mm with unit of 1 mm. The data acquisition system was designed in an integrated circuit to perform the necessary works such as fast amplification, discrimination, coincidence and logic analysis. It generates values of nine parameters among twelve's generated in the 3-PH LSC method. The dead time of each counting channel is of extending type, valving from 10 to 100 $mutextrm{s}$. We measured the TDCR values with an unquenched liquid scintillation source 1"C by displacing the detectors with a step of 2.5 mm away from counting vial. Their values were derived on the range from 0.9 to 0.6. The extent is three times wider than those regions observed by applying the defocalization technique.ique.
