Collective Thomson scattering (CTS) system is being developed in KAERI based on high power gyrotrons. CTS is a promising diagnostic method to measure fast ion distributions and potentially the fusion product alpha particles in magnetically confined plasmas. By utilizing millimeter-waves from high power gyrotrons as a probing beam, spatially and temporally resolved 1-D ion velocity distributions can be obtained from the scattered radiation with less scattering geometrical constraints. The pulse modulation of gyrotrons enables to separate scattering signal from ECE background noises. The feasibility was assessed with the calculation of spectral density functions under the condition of KSTAR plasmas. Further CTS system requirements are also discussed.

Current-voltage (I-V) measurements of crystalline silicon solar cells was conducted under dark conditions with the temperature range of 260 K~350 K. Using the calculation method, we extracted the crucial factors of ideality factor (n) and activation energy (Ea) to investigate the carrier conducting path in the space charge region (SCR) and the quasi-neutral region (QNR). Values of n were decreased with increasing temperature in both SCR and QNR. We also conformed that the value of Ea of SCR was larger than that of QNR about 0.4 eV. The temperature dependence of n indicates that the carrier conducting path is dominated by carrier recombination-generation in the SCR region than in the QNR region.

Pumping performance of a disk-type molecular drag pump for a hybrid molecular pump is numerically analyzed by the direct simulation onte-Carlo method. The flows in pumping channels are three-dimensional (3D) in a molecular transition regime. The main difficulty in modeling a 3D case comes from the rotating frame of reference. Thus, trajectories of particles ar no longer straight lines. In the present study, trajectories of particles are calculated by integrating a system of differential equations including the Coriolis and centrifugal forces. The null-collisions. The present numerical results molecular model is used for calculation of molecular collisions. The present numerical results significantly disagree with the previously known ones. This indicates that an actual pumping passage is very limited to a narrow region due to the significant backstreaming of molecules from the outlet.

We have calculated the electronic structure of impurity atoms in metal host by using the tight binding model in the recursion method. For a self-consistent calculation, we assumed that the effect of impurity introduction was localized only at the impurity site and its neighbours. We calculated the Madelung term by limiting the contribution to Vm of the charge perturbations to the first shell around the impurity with Evjen technique. The calculated local density of states and charge transfer values have been compared with the experimental values for a single impurity in metal host. We fund that d-reso-nance state came from the repulsive interaction between impurity d-state and host band, and the position of d-resonance state depended on the difference of valence electrons between the host and the impurity. the results also showed that the charge transfer value between an impurity and host metal was comparable to the ionicity difference between them.

MBE법으로 성장시킨 Cd1-xMgxTe 박막을 조성비 (x=0, 0.23, 0.32, 0.43)에 따라 타원편광 분석기로 측정하여 연구하였다. E0 critical point energy 아래에서 나타나는 간섭무늬를 제거하기 위해 multilayer calculation을 수행했고 ellipsometric data를 2번 미분하여 계산하는 Critical Point Parabolic Band(CPPB) model을 사용하여 E0, E0+Δ0, E1, E1,+Δ1, and E0'critical point energy 들을 구할 수 있었다. 특히 E2 peak region 에서는 종전의 고상시료 (bulk)에서 측정 발표된 값보다도 매우 높고 명확한 <$\varepsilon$2>값이 측정되어, E2와 E、0 peak가 명확하게 분리되는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 또한 Mg의 조성비에 따라 critical point energy 가 linear 하게 변화됨이 관측되었다.

An unexpected error is produced in calculating the transmission probability of a multipartite duct because of beam and shadow effects, if using a simple summation rule like the Oatley's equation. Particles moving in a tube are directed more or less towards the axis of the tube by the beam effect, and the length of a compound tube shortens virtually by the shadow effect originated from a reduction in the number of particles reaching the corner between two tubes of different cross-sections. Both effects make the transmission probability of the tube connected behind and consequently of the whole duct increase slightly. In this paper sources of the error in the calculation of the transmission probability are analyzed quantitatively and variations in the error depending on the dimensions of cylindrical tubes are calculated.

Very initial stage of oxidation process of Si (001) surface was investigated using large scale molecular dynamics simulation. Reactive force field potential was used for the simulation owing to its ability to handle charge variation associated with the oxidation reaction. To know the detail mechanism of both adsorption and desorption of water molecule (for simulating wet oxidation), oxygen molecule (for dry oxidation) and their atom constituents, interaction of one molecule with Si surface was carefully observed. The simulation is then continued with many water and oxygen molecules to understand the kinetics of oxide growth. The results show that possibilities of desorption and adsorption depend strongly on initial atomic configuration as well as temperature. We observed a tendency that H atoms come relatively into deeper surface or otherwise quickly desorbed away from the silicon surface. On the other hand, most oxygen atoms are bonded with first layer of silicon surface. We also noticed that charge transfer is only occur in nearest neighbor regime which has been pointed out by DFT calculation. Atomic structure of the interface between the oxide and Si substrate was characterized in atomic scale.

최근 세라믹스의 고온소결과정 없이 상온 후막제조가 가능한 에어로졸 데포지션법이 개발되어 이를 응용한 다양한 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 차세대 3차원 초고밀도 집적용연성(flexible)기판재료로서 $Al_2O_3$-PTFE(polytetrafluoroethylene) 복합체를 에어로졸 데포지션을 이용하여 상온제조 하였으며, 제조된 복합체 내의 $Al_2O_3$ 함량계산에 관한 연구를 진행하였다. 제조된 복합체는 기존의 세라믹만의 $Al_2O_3$ 후막에 비하여 PTFE의 첨가로 인한 잔류응력 감소효과가 있음이 확인되었으며 SEM, TEM 등 미세구조 분석을 통하여 충격고화 시 파우더의 미립화감소를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 공정의 최적화를 위한 분석 시 중요한 요소인 복합체 내의 세라믹 함량을 간편한 전기적 특성 측정을 통하여 계산하는 방법에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 이를 위하여 이종 물질의 혼합에 관한 이론인 Hashin-Shtrikman bound theory와 3차원 정전장 해석 시뮬레이션을 병행하여 계산의 오차범위를 산출하고 실제 제조된 복합체 내의 $Al_2O_3$ 함량을 5 vol.% 이내의 오차로 측정할 수 있었다.

High-resolution photoemission spectroscopy (HRPES) measurements were collected and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were conducted to track the coverage dependent variation of the absorption structure of 2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde (C4H3SCHO: TPCA) on the Ge(100) surface at room temperature. In an effort to identify the most probably adsorption structures on the Ge(100) surface, we deposited TPCA molecules at a low coverage and at a high coverage and compared the differences between the electronic features measured using HRPES. The HRPES data provided three possible adsorption structures of TPCA on the Ge(100) surfaces, and DFT calculations were used to determine the plausibility of the structures. HRPES analysis, corroborated by DFT calculations, indicated that an S-dative bonded structure was the most probable adsorption structure at relatively lower coverage levels, the [4+2] cycloaddition structure was the second most probable structure, and the [2+2]-C=O cycloaddition structure was the last probable structure on the Ge(100) surfaces at relatively higher coverage levels.

Transmutation characteristics of minor actinides in a transmutation reactor based on a Low Aspect Ratio (LAR) tokamak are investigated. One-dimensional neutron transport and burn-up calculation coupled with the tokamak systems analysis were performed to find the optimal system parameters. The dependence of the transmutation characteristics such as neutron multiplication factor, produced power and transmutation rate on an aspect ratio A in the range of 1.5 to 2.0 was investigated. By adding Pu239 in the transmutation blanket as a neutron multiplication material, it was shown that the one unit of the transmutation reactor based on the LAR tokamak producing fusion power of 150 MWth can destroy the minor actinides contained in the spent fuels produced from more than 19 units of l GWe PWRs with production of the power being in the range of 0.9 - 3.4 GWth.
