Sintered LiF:Mg,Cu,Na,Si thermoluminescence (TL) pellets were developed for application in radiation dosimetry. In the present study, the TL dosimetric properties of LiF:Mg,Cu,Na,Si TL pellets have been investigated for emission spectrum, dose response, energy response, and fading characteristics. LiF:Mg,Cu,Na,Si TL pellets were made by using a sintering process, that is, pressing and heat treatment from TL powders. Photon irradiations for the experiments were carried out using X-ray beams and a $^{137}Cs$ gamma source at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). The average energies and the dose were in the range of 20-662 keV and $10^{-6}-10^{-2}\;Gy$, respectively. The glow curves were measured with a manual type TLD reader(System 310, Teledyne) at a constant nitrogen flux and a linear heating rate. For a constant heating rate of $5^{\circ}C\;s^{-1}$, the main dosimetric peak of glow curve appeared at $234^{\circ}C$, the activation energy was 2.34 eV and frequency factor was $1.00{\times}10^{23}$. TL emission spectrum is appeared at the blue region centered at 410 nm. A linearity of photon dose response was maintained up to 100 Gy. The photon energy responses relative to $^{137}Cs$ response were within ${\pm}20%$ at overall photon energy region. The fading of TL sensitivity of the pellets stored at the room temperature was not found for one year.

형광체를 조명과 디스플레이 산업에 응용하기 위해서는 충분히 밝은 빛을 제공하는 형광체의 발광 세기가 중요한 변수이다. 이러한 발광 특성은 주로 모체 격자에 도핑 되는 활성제의 농도, 입자의 형상과 크기 분포의 균일성, 결정성에 따라 달라진다. 본 연구에서는 Ca2SiO4 모체 결정에 도핑한 활성제 Eu3+와 Dy3+ 이온의 농도를 변화시키면서 고상 반응법을 사용하여 높은 발광 효율을 갖는 Ca2-1.5xSiO4::Eux3+ 적색 형광체와 Ca2-1.5xSiO4:Dyx3+ 백색 형광체를 합성하였다. 특히, 활성제 Eu3+와 Dy3+ 이온 농도의 변화가 형광체의 결정 구조, 소성 온도, 입자의 표면 형상, 광학 스펙트럼의 발광 효율에 미치는 영향을 조사하여 최적의 합성 조건을 결정하였으며, 회절 신호의 반치폭과 발광 세기의 상호 관계를 조사하였다. Ca2-1.5xSiO4::Eux3+와 Ca2-1.5xSiO4:Dyx3+ 형광체 초기 분말 시료는 CaO (99.9% 순도), SiO2 (99.9%), Dy2O3 (99.9%)와 Eu2O3 (99.9%)인 화학 물질을 구입하여 초정밀 저울로 화학양론적으로 측정하였다. 이때 Eu와 Dy의 함량비는 x=0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2 mol로 변화 시키면서 합성하였다. Ca2-1.5xSiO4: Dyx3+ 형광체 분말 시료의 경우에 소결 온도를 각각 $1000^{\circ}C$와 $1100^{\circ}C$로 달리하여 흡광과 발광 스펙트럼의 세기를 비교해 본 결과, 서로 다른 두 소결 온도에서 합성한 두 형광체 분말은 동일하게 Dy3+의 몰 비가 0.05 mol일 때 주 발광 스펙트럼의 세기는 최대값을 나타내었다. 파장 355 nm로 여기시킨 Dy3+ 함량비에 따른 Ca2-1.5xSiO4:Dyx3+ 형광체 분말의 발광 스펙트럼은 Dy3+ 함량비에 관계 없이 581 nm에서 가장 강한 황색 발광을 보였다. 함량비가 증가함에 따라 발광 스펙트럼의 변화가 관측되었는데, Dy3+의 몰 비가 0.01 mol~0.05 mol인 영역에서는 발광 세기가 증가하여 0.05 mol에서 최대를 나타내다가 Dy3+의 몰 비가 더욱 증가함에 따라 발광세기는 현저히 감소하는 경향을 나타내었는데, 이 현상은 농도 소광 현상으로 해석 할 수 있다. 이외에도, Eu3+와 Dy3+ 이온의 함량비와 소결 온도가 결정 입자의 크기와 흡광 스펙트럼에 미치는 결과를 조사하였다.

The atomic structures of silicate liquids at high pressure provide insights into the transport properties including thermal conductivities or elemental partitioning behavior between rocks and magmas in Earth's interior. Whereas the local electronic structure around silicon may vary with the arrangement of the nearby oxygens, the detailed nature of such relationship remains to be established. Here, we explored the atomic origin of the pressure-induced changes in the electronic structure around silicon by calculating the partial electronic density of states and L₃-edge X-ray absorption spectra of SiO₂ polymorphs. The result showed that the Si PDOS at the conduction band varies with the crystal structure and local atomic environments. Particularly, d-orbital showed the distinct features at 108 and 130 eV upon the changes in the coordination number of Si. Calculated Si XAS spectra showed features due to the s,d-orbitals at the conduction band and varied similarly with those observed in s,d-orbitals upon changes in the crystal structures. The calculated Si XAS spectrum for α-quartz was analogous to the experimental Si XRS spectrum for SiO₂ glass, implying the overall similarities in the local atomic environments around the Si. The edge energies at the center of gravity of XAS spectra were closely related to the Si-O distance, thus showing the systematic changes upon densification. Current results suggest that the Si L_2,3-edge XRS, sensitive probe of the Si-O distance, would be useful in unveiling the densification mechanism of silicate glasses and melts at high pressure.

The first small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapeutics have recently been approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the U.S., and the demand for a new RNA therapeutics bioanalysis method-which is essential for pharmacokinetics, including the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of siRNA therapeutics-is rapidly increasing. The stem-loop real-time qPCR (RT-qPCR) assay is a useful molecular technique for the identification and quantification of small RNA (e.g., micro RNA and siRNA) and can be applied for the bioanalysis of siRNA therapeutics. When the anti-HPV E6/E7 siRNA therapeutic was used in preclinical trials, the established stem-loop RT-qPCR assay was validated. The limit of detection was sensitive up to 10 fM and the lower limit of quantification up to 100 fM. In fact, the reliability of the established test method was further validated in three intra assays. Here, the correlation coefficient of $R^2$>0.99, the slope of -3.10 ~ -3.40, and the recovery rate within ${\pm}20%$ of the siRNA standard curve confirm its excellent robustness. Finally, the circulation profiles of siRNAs were demonstrated in rat serum, and the pharmacokinetic properties of the anti-HPV E6/E7 siRNA therapeutic were characterized using a stem-loop RT-qPCR assay. Therefore, the stemloop RT-qPCR assay enables accurate, precise, and sensitive siRNA duplex quantification and is suitable for the quantification of small RNA therapeutics using small volumes of biological samples.

Hall 효과 측정을 이용하여 As+이 주입된 다결정 실리콘의 열처리 조건에 따른 활성화 과정을 연구하였다. 주입된 이온의 농도 분포는 SIMS(Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy)와 SUPREMIV 모의 실험으로 조사하였다. 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 활성층의 전자 면 농도 증가가 뚜렷이 나타났으며, Hall 이동도의 온도 의존성 측정으로 주입된 도우즈에 따라 이온 주입층의 활성화에 필요한 열처리 온도가 달라져야함을 알 수 있었다. 그리고, 접합 손실전류의 감소는 $800^{\circ}C$(30분)의 열처리에서 현저하게 나타났다.

During braking at a train, thermal energy is generated due to the frictions between disk and lining and wheel and shoe. In general, the braking transfers the kinetic energy into thermal energy. Therefore. the frictional characteristics are varied according to the braking force, the thermal resistance, and the thermostable, etc. Using a Dynamo testing we have studied the frictional characteristics and the thermal distribution to investigate a stable speed and to improve the testing method through comparing and analysing in the measurement or the thermocouple temperature and infrared camera.
