  • In this paper, the purpose is to develop imaging technique of synchrotron radiation using CMOS image sensor. The detector using hybrid method to be research in this lab was used, in order to increase image signal. We made experiments with 1B2 Whitebeam/microprobe beamline in PAL (Pohang Accelerator Laboratory). Phosphor materials such as ZnS:(Ag,Li), ZnS:(Cu,Al), $Y_2O_2S:Eu$ were produced by spin coating on glass. Synchrotron radiation images were acquired and evaluated from monochromatic light from monochromoator in PAL 1B2line. From obtained object and phantom, MTF was 0.15 in ZnS:(Ag,Li) phosphor, and 0.178 in ZnS:( Cu,Al) at 151p/mm. MTFs were unsystematic because thickness of phosphor and uniformity of surface were not optimized. It's expected to improve MTF and the qualify of images as uniformity's optimized.

  • Fusarium root rot caused by the soil-borne fungus Fusarium solani is one of the most important fungal diseases of cassava in Thailand, resulting in high yield losses of more than 80%. This study aimed to investigate if the exogenous application of salicylic acid formulations (Zacha) can induce resistance in cassava against Fusarium root rot and observe the biochemical changes in induced cassava leaf tissues through synchrotron radiation based on Fourier-transform infrared (SR-FTIR) microspectroscopy. We demonstrated that the application of Zacha11 prototype formulations could induce resistance against Fusarium root rot in cassava. The in vitro experimental results showed that Zacha11 prototype formulations inhibited the growth of F. solani at approximately 34.83%. Furthermore, a significant reduction in the disease severity of Fusarium root rot disease at 60 days after challenge inoculation was observed in cassava plants treated with Zacha11 at a concentration of 500 ppm (9.0%). Population densities of F. solani were determined at 7 days after inoculation. Treatment of the Zacha11 at a concentration of 500 ppm resulted in reduced populations compared with the distilled water control and differences among treatment means at each assay date. Moreover, the SR-FTIR spectral changes of Zacha11-treated epidermal tissues of leaves had higher integral areas of lipids, lignins, and pectins (1,770-1,700/cm), amide I (1,700-1,600/cm), amide II (1,600-1,500/cm), hemicellulose, lignin (1,300-1,200/cm), and cellulose (1,155/cm). Therefore, alteration in defensive carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins contributed to generate barriers against Fusarium invasion in cassava roots, leading to lower the root rot disease severity.

  • 우리나라 최초의 거대과학 장치인 포항방사광가속기(PLS)는 지난 16년(1994~2010) 동안 국내외 이용자에게 제3세대 방사광을 제공했다. 최초 2기의 빔라인을 시작으로 꾸준하게 빔라인 증설과 성능개선을 위해 노력해 왔다. 지속해서 늘어나는 방사광 이용자 수와 더욱더 좋은 수준의 방사광 요구에 부응하기 위하여 2009년부터 3년 동안 가속장치의 성능향상사업(PLS-II)을 마쳤다. PLS-II는 PLS 대비에너지와 빔전류는 3 GeV, 400 mA로 늘리는 반면 빔의 크기는 크게 줄이고 빔안정성을 개선한 고품질 X-선 방사광 발생장치이다. 2012년부터 16기의 삽입장치 빔라인을 포함한 30기의 빔라인을 가동하여 이용자 지원을 하고 있으며 초전도케비티 설치를 포함한 목표 성능의 확보에도 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 현재는 6 nm-rad의 빔에 미턴스, 3-GeV전자빔, 약 0.5 ${\mu}m-rms$ 빔안정도를 가진 200 mA Top-up 운전으로 빔을 제공 하고 있으며 2014년 말에는 저장전류 400 mA급의 PLS-II 목표치로 운전할 계획이다. 본 발표에서는 포항가속기의 25년 역사를 돌아보고 가속장치의 건설에 얽힌 이야기, 중요장치 그리고 운전과 빔제공에 관한 내용, 특히 핵심 운전가치인 빔안정성을 개선하고 유지하기 위한 노력을 빔운전 측면과 진공을 포함한 엔지지어링 측면에서 언급하고자 한다. PLS 건설부터 현재 운용 중인 30기의 빔라인에서 수행된 연구 성과의 통계에 대하여 훑어보고 X-선 산란과 광전자분광을 이용한 구조, 성분 및 물성분석, 그리고 이미징 등의 분야에서 나온 탁월한 연구 결과를 살펴본다. 앞으로 건설될 신규 빔라인과 빔라인의 향후 운영 방향을 소개한다. 마지막으로 지금 포항가속기연구소에서 건설 중인 제4세대 가속기(X-선 자유전자레이저) 프로젝트의 개요 및 건설 현황과 함께 앞으로 기대되는 새로운 과학에 대하여도 소개하고자 한다.

  • Synchrotron radiation (SR) imaging enables us to observe internal structures of biologic samples without staining. In this study, we obtained X-ray microscopic images of human breast tissues with 11.1 KeV hard X-ray microscope of the Pohang light source and used zone plates and phase-contrast technique to get high resolution X-ray images. Hard X-ray microscopic images of fibrocystic change and breast cancer tissues with a spatial resolution of 60 nm were obtained and from these images, we could observe the micro-structures of human breast tissue. Also we analyzed and compared these images, which revealed distinct features of each condition. In conclusion, SR imaging with phase-contrast hard X-ray microscope for medical application, especially in breast disease can give some useful information for clinical research.

  • Co and Fe doped multi-wall carbon nano-tubes (MWCNTs) synthesized by microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technique are investigated with synchrotron radiations at Pohang Light Source (PAL) and European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). Near edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy (NEXAFS) measurement at C K, Co $L_{3,2}$ and Fe $L_{3,2}$-edges, and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at Co and Fe $L_{3,2}$-edges have been carried at 7B1 XAS KIST and 2A MS beamline, respectively, to understand the electronic structure and responsible magnetic interactions at room temperature. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at C K-edge shows significant p-bonding and Co and Fe L-edges proves the presence of $Co^{2+}$ and $Fe^{2+}$ in octahedral symmetry. Co and Fe doped MWCNTs show good XMCD spectra at 300K. The effect on the magnetism is also studied through swift heavy ion (SHI) radiations and magnetism is found enhanced and change in the electronic structure in Co-CNTs is investigated.

  • The quest for renewable energy requires us to understand, predict, and ultimately control matter and energy at the electronic, atomic, and molecular levels. The ever-increasing demand to diversify the energy portfolio and to minimize environmental impact while supplying global energy needs, has intensified the urgency for developing alternative energy sources and carriers. Significant research efforts are under way and will continue in a broad range of materials synthesis, use-inspired and fundamental science with the use of light sources such as synchrotron and free electron lasers. Energy-related materials research faces urgent challenges today. We need to go beyond the Edisonian hit and trial approach to more systematic research with the use of advanced tools applicable under realistic in-situ and in-operando conditions capable of exploring electronic and atomic structure of catalysts and energy relevant materials. Through various scientific examples, I will explain the current state-of-the art and future directions in the aforementioned areas of research.

  • By the oxygen plasma exposure to the organic light-emitting diodes, the turn-on voltage decreased from 10.5 to 7 V and luminance increased from 470 to $852\;cd/m^2$. Synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy results showed that during oxygen plasma exposure, oxygen ions were diffused into organic layer and induced p-type doping effect.
