In this paper, we present preliminary feasibility studies on three types of solar observation payloads for future Korean Science and Technology Satellite (STSAT) programs. The three candidates are (1) an UV imaging telescope, (2) an UV spectrograph, and (3) an X-ray spectrometer. In the case of UV imaging telescope, the most important constraint seems to be the control stability of a satellite in order to obtain a reasonably good spatial resolution. Considering that the current pointing stability estimated from the data of the Far ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (FIMS) onboard the Korean STSAT-1, is around 1 arc minutes/sec, we think that it is hard to obtain a spatial resolution sufficient for scientific research by such an UV Imaging Telescope. For solar imaging missions, we realize that an image stabilization system, which is composed of a small guide telescope with limb sensor and a servo controller of secondary mirror, is quite essential for a very good pointing stability of about 0.1 arcsec. An UV spectrograph covering the solar full disk seems to be a good choice in that there is no risk due to poor pointing stability as well as that it can provide us with valuable UV spectral irradiance data valuable for studying their effects on the Earth's atmosphere and satellites. The heritage of the FIMS can be a great advantage of developing the UV spectrograph. Its main disadvantage is that two major missions are in operation or scheduled. Our preliminary investigations show that an X-ray spectrometer for the full disk Sun seems to be the best choice among the three candidates. The reasons are : (1) high temporal and spectral X-ray data are very essential for studying the acceleration process of energetic particles associated with solar flares, (2) we have a good heritage of X-ray detectors including a rocket-borne X-ray detector, (3) in the case of developing countries such as India and Czech, solar X-ray spectrometers were selected as their early stage satellite missions due to their poor pointing stabilities, and (4) there is no planned major mission after currently operating Reuven Ramaty High-Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) mission. Finally, we present a preliminary design of a solar X-ray spectrometer covering soft X-ray (2 keV) to gamma ray (10 MeV).

1-GW Iodine photodissociation Laser (λ=1.315${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$)is focused to generate the continuum x-ray radiation at titanium(z=22)target. A piced of aluminum(360 )-mylar(8${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) film is used to isolate the soft X-ray radiation emitted. Convex-xurved mica crystal spectrometer is used to obtain the soft x-ray spectra from the laser titanium target plasma and the slope of continum X-ray spectra are found to show two different different electron effective temperaturres, 0.11keV and 7.1KeV. We compare the two temperature result with the foil absorption method.

Doppler broadening spectrometer for positron annihilation experiment(DBPAS) has been used to characterize nano size defect structures in materials. DBPAS measures the concentration, spatial distribution, and size of open volume defects in the rare-earth intensifying screen materials. The screens were exposed by X-ray varying the exposed doses from 3, 6, 9, and 12 Gy with 6 W and 15 MV respectively and also irradiated by 37 MeV proton beams ranging from 0 to $10^{12}ptls$. The S parameter values increased as the exposed time and the energies increased, which indicated the defects were generated more. The S parameters of the samples with X-rays varied from 0.5098 to 0.5108, on the other hand, as proton beams varied from 0.4804 to 0.4821.

We presented the etch results of indium-tin oxide thin films by using SF$_{6}$/O$_2$gas electron cyclotron resonance plasma and conducted X-ray phtoelectron spectroscopy and quadrupole mass spectrometer analyses for the etch characteristics. The etch rate of the films was greatly dependent on that of oxygen which was the major constituent element of the films. The oxygen was removed by the forms like $O_2$or SOF$_2$. We examined the ratio of atomic content of O and In and the change of this ratio was related to the removal rate of InF$_{x}$ and the S-metal bonding.ing.

Quantitative analysis each portland cement components was conducted by standard calibration method using X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. Standard sample and the unknown sample were prepared by fused cast bead method. In checking the errors of standard cement 227A372 the relative errors of constituents such as CaO, SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, MgO and SrO were less than 1% and the relative errors of constituents such as So3, K2O, TiO2, Na2O P2O5, and Mn2O3 were less than 5% Sample preparation was mainly contributed to the errors. Compared with general wet chemical method the results of X-ray fluorescence analyses were more precise and accurate. Moreover it is possible to analyze precisely a little amount of the constituents such as SrO, Mn2O3 and P2O5 the analyses of which were very difficult using the wet chemical method.

This study aims at making a research into the physical and chemical properties of the neolithic era potterys, which are unearthed from Gosanli, Sagaeli, Bukchonli, Samyangdong and Gonaili districts in Cheju Island, by using X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence spectrometer and Mossbauer spectroscopy. This results are as follows. The principal component of five plain coarse pottery sherds by X-ray fluorescence spectrometer and X-ray diffraction spectrum at the room temperature is silicate mineral which is equal to SiO$_2$, and they also have a little magetite, hematite and goethite. The most existent Fe is Fe$\^$+3/ through Mossbauer spectroscopy analysis of plain coarse pottery sherds and it is presumed that the magnetic hyperfine splitting caused this result. The ratio of Fe$\^$2+//(Fe$\^$2+/+Fe$\^$3+/) is mostly zero by Mossbauer spectrum at the room temperature of plain coarse pottery sherds and it is thought because they were fired in the atmosphere.
