A hard X-ray microscope system for obtaining images of nano-spatial resolution has been widely studied and requires monochromatic X-ray. A multilayer mirror of 84% reflectivity was designed to acquire tungsten characteristic X-ray of 8.4 keV from the white beam generated from an X-ray tube, and the C/W multilayer mirror of $50{\times}50\;mm$ size and 5.65 nm d-spacing was fabricated by the ion-beam sputtering system. The C/W multilayer had a uniformity of 99.5%, and the structure of the multilayer mirror was verified by a TEM image. The obtainable x-ray reflectivity for the C/W multilayer mirror at 8.4 keV was estimated from measuring the X-ray reflectivity using the copper characteristic X-ray of 8.05 keV. Monochromatic X-ray of 8.4 keV was generated by combining a X-ray tube, and the reflectivity and monochromaticity were 77.1% and 0.21 keV, respectively. Monochromatic X-ray generated from the combination of an X-ray tube and an C/W multilayer mirror has enough potential to use X-ray source for hard X-ray microscope system of laboratory size. If the C/W multilayer mirror of d-spacing of a few nanometers can be fabricated, monochromatic X-ray corresponded to 17.5 keV, molybdenum characteristic X-ray, can be obtained and applied to mammography in the medical application.

The high-energy X-ray imaging detector used for container inspection uses a thick scintillator to effectively acquire X-rays. X-ray incident on the scintillator is generally up to 9MeV. Therefore, to effectively collect X-ray, it is necessary to use a thick scintillator. To collect the light generated by the reaction between X-ray and scintillator, an optical-sensor must be combined with the scintillator. In this study, a study on the design conditions of the detector using a CdWO4 and a small sensor is described. To calculate the collected light according to the change of the scintillator thickness and the reflectance of surface, MCNP6 and DETECT2000 were used. As a result of calculating, it was confirmed that when the reflectance of the surface was low, it was appropriate to select a scintillator with a thickness of 15 to 20-mm, but as the reflectance increased, it was confirmed that it was appropriate to select a CdWO4 with a thickness of 25 to 30-mm.

Monochromatic X-ray can make a medical image of high contrast under a low radiation dose and can be easily generated by combining an X-ray tube and a multilayer mirror. A W/C multilayer mirror was optimally designed for a characteristic X-ray generated from a X-ray tube with Mo target. The d-spacing and the thickness ratio in design parameters were determined under the maximum-reflectivity condition. Tolerances for deposition and alignment of the W/C multilayer mirror were calculated. Within a deposition tolerance of 0.2nm and a alignment tolerance of ${\pm}0.01^{\circ}$, 85% of the theoretical peak reflectivity could be achieved. A multilayer mirror can be widely used for making medical images because of generating high fluence monochromatic X-ray.

전자현미분석외에 금-은 고용체의 금 또는 은 성분을 결정할 수 있는 간편하고도 신뢰성 높은 측정법 개발은 응용 광물학자들에게 오랜 연구과제가 되어 왔다. 이를 달성하기 위한 방법으로 정량적으로 측정할 수 있는 단위포 상수, 반사도, 비중, 미경도 측정연구를 실시하였다. 이 실험을 위해 순수한 원소 금과 은을 5 at.% 간격으로 혼합하여 시료를 제작한 후 석영관을 사용하여 진공하에서 밀봉하였다. 고온에서 가열하여 용융시킨 후 서냉하여 얻어진 반응물을 각종 현미경, X 선 회절분석기, 전자현미분석기, 반사도측정기, 비중저울, 미경도측정기를 사용하여 분석하였다. 직경이 114.6 nm 인 Debye-Scherrer 카메라를 사용해 얻은 X 선분말회절자료로 계산한 단위포 상수의 크기는 은함량이 증가함에 따라 일정하게 증가한다. 반사도 측정에는 480nm와 546nm 두파장을 사용하였는데 두 파장 모두에 대해 은 함량이 증가할수록 반사도가 증가한다. 또한 480nm를 사용했을 때의 반사도 변화가 현저하므로 유용하다. 비중은 은 함량이 증가할수록 오히려 일정하게 감소한다. 한편, 25g과 50g 추를 사용하여 측정한 미경도 값은 금-은고용체내의 성분변화에 관계없이 불규칙하게 변하여 어떤 경향을 나타내지 않는다.

DMM은 방사광가속기의 백색광으로부터 단색광을 추출하기 위해 두 개의 다층 박막 (multilayer) 거울을 사용하는데, 첫 번째 거울은 Bragg 반사를 통해 분광을 하여 단색광을 생산하는 용도이고, 두 번째 거울은 이 단색광을 반사시켜 지면과 평행하게 출사되게 하기 위함이다. 일반적으로 사용되는 DCM (Double Crystal Monochromator)과의 차이점은, Bragg 반사를 위해 DCM에서는 결정을 사용하는 반면 DMM은 밀도차이가 많이나는 두 종류의 물질을 교대로 쌓아 올린 다층 박막을 사용한다는 것이다. 다층 박막의 주기가 곧 Bragg 반사에서의 d-spacing이 되며, X-선 분광의 목적으로 사용되는 d-spacing은 10-50 $\AA$ 사이이다. DCM이 0.01% 대의 우수한 에너지 분해능을 보이는데 비해, DMM은 1% 정도이다. 이 때문에 출사광의 밝기가 DCM에 비해 100배 밝은 특징이 있어서 에너지 분해능보다 광량이 더 중요한 응용에서 DMM이 사용된다. X-선 영상이나 방사선치료가 바로 이러한 응용에 해당한다. DMM은 포항가속기연구소와 (주) 벡트론에서 공동 설계하였으며, (주)벡트론에서 제작하였다. 그림 1에 DMM의 외형과 내부 구조를 나타내었다. Bragg 각의 조절 범위는 0.24-0.9도 이다. 입사광과 출사광의 수직 방향 offset을 10 mm로 유지하기 위해 두 번째 다층 박막이 수평방향으로 1,000 mm 가량 이동할 수 있어야 한다. 이를 위해 두 대의 고니오미터 stage를 사용하여 각각 첫 번째 및 두 번째 다층 박막의 위치와 방향을 제어한다. 첫 번째 다층 박막을 제어하는 고니오미터 stage는 하부가 전체 프레임에 고정되어 있고, 이 고니오미터의 회전축에서 Bragg 각을 조절한다. 두 번째 다층 박막을 제어하는 고니오미터 stage는 높이방향과 수평방향으로 이동이 가능하다. 다층 박막의 pitch는 고니오미터의 회전축에서 조절한다. 그리고 tilt stage를 사용하여 다층 박막의 roll을 조절한다.

Multilayer mirrors have widely been used for monochromatization of X-ray with high reflection efficiency. The reflected X-ray energy or wavelength is determined by the d-spacing of a multilayer mirror and the incidence angle. The reflectivity critically depends on the number of bilayers and surface roughness on each interface. The multilayer mirror has a structure of alternative deposition of high and low Z-elements on the substrate. Each interface should be considered in the calculation of reflectivity. In this paper, we examine the degradation of reflectivity by the inter-diffusion combined with surface roughness on each interface for a W/Si multilayer mirror. In the depth-graded W/Si multilayer mirror, the FWHMs for angle and energy were larger than them of the uniform multilayer mirror. Inter-diffusion considerable gave rise to the degradation of reflectivity. To obtain measured reflectivity closed to the expected reflectivity, the inter-diffusion on W-Si and Si-W interfaces should be considered.

At a recent medical imaging technology, the major issue of X-ray diagnosis in breast cancer is the early detection of breast cancer and low patient's exposure dose. As one of studies to acquire a monochromatic X-ray, Technologies using multilayer mirror had been preceded. However, a uniform multilayer mirror that consists of uniform thin-film thickness can acquire a monochromatic X-ray only in the partial area corresponds to angle of incidence of white X-ray, so there are limits for X-ray imaging technology applications. In this study, we designed laterally graded multilayer mirror(below GML) that reflects same monochromatic X-ray over the entire area of thin-film mirror, which have the the thickness of the linear gradient that correspond to angle of incidence of white X-ray. By using ion-beam sputtering system added the mask control system we fabricated a GML which has size of $100{\times}100mm^2$. The GML is designed to achieve the monochromatic X-ray of 17.5kev energy and has thin-film thickness change from 4.62nm to 6.57nm(3.87nm at center). It reflects the monochromatic X-ray with reflectivity of more than 60 percent, FWHM of below 2.6keV and X-ray beam width of about 3mm. The monochromatic X-ray corresponded to 17.5keV using GML would have wide application in development of mammography system with high contrast and low dose.

In this paper, a non-contact microwave technique was presented to detect the surface crack of the metals. An open-ended coaxial cable line was used as a sensor at 11 GHz, and the reflection coefficients were measured by scanning along the metal surface including artificial surface cracks. A parameter, the K value which was defined as the difference between maximum and minimum reflection coefficients, was measured and used to estimate the crack depth. A linear relationship between the K value and crack depth was found. This study showed that non-contact detection of the surface cracks of metals is possible using the open-ended coaxial line sensor at X-band.
