X-ray fluorescence analysis has been widely used in the field of science and industry because it gives information about elements and their concentrations without destruction of samples. To increase analysis accuracy of fluorescence generated by photons of the transmission-type X-ray tube for mixture and compound samples would be recommend to have strong energy near 10 keV and 20 keV simultaneously. Tungsten of 9.65 keV and molybdenum of 17.48 keV were considered as targets with dual deposition structure for obtaining two strong characteristic X-rays, and the transmission-type X-ray tube was analyzed using Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation. The W-Mo structure resulted in strong characteristic X-ray near 10 keV and 20 keV simultaneously. A structure with Mo-W multilayers of 5 ㎛ thick also gave optimal spectrum. Various material combination and thickness optimization for the dual-structured target can give X-ray spectrum with strong characteristic X-ray of specific energies.

X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) analysis using X-ray absorption spectroscopy is being applied as a state-of-the-art method in a wide range of disciplines. This review article summarizes the overall procedure of XAFS analysis from the preparation of soil samples to the analysis of data in X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) region and extended Xray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) region. The previous studies on application of XANES and EXAFS techniques in environmental soil science field are discussed and classified them according to metal(loid)s (As, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn). A significant number of previous studies of XAFS application in the environmental soil science field have focused on the identification of Pb chemical species in soil. Moreover, XANES and EXAFS techniques have been widely used to investigate the contamination source via identification of metal species. Similarly, these techniques were applied to identify the mechanisms of metal stabilization in soil after application of various amendments, phytoremediation, etc.

The compound of the 6,7-dichloroquinoline-5,8-dione has two asymmetric chloro radicals at the position of the C6 and C7. When the compound reacts with ethyl acetoacetate in the presence of sodium ethoxide, it is considered that C6 and/or C7 position of the compound can be substitued. The exact substitued position of the product (I) could not be identified by the NMR analysis in our experiment. Therefore, we synthesized the 3-ethoxycarbonyl-2-methyl-1-N-propyl pyridino(2,3f)indole-4,9-dione by reaction of the product (I) with propylamine via intramolecular cyclization to identify the substitued position of the product (I) using the X-ray crystallographic structure analysis. The result demonstrates that the position of nucleophilic substitution of the product (I) is at the position of the C6.

In this study, we prepared liquid crystal emulsions composed of $C_{12-20}$ alkyl glucoside, $C_{14-22}$ alcohol, and behenyl alcohol and performed structure analysis using various analytical equipment. First, as an important characteristic of liquid crystal emulsions, maltese cross patterns and multi-layer structure were observed by a polarized microscope and cryo-SEM. Also, formation of liquid crystal phase was confirmed by DSC and multi-layer lamellar structure having an interlayer spacing approximately $305{\AA}$ was confirmed by small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS). The alkyl chain arrangement formed orthorhombic structure of a lamellar structure of the liquid crystal emulsion was confirmed by wide angle x-ray scattering (WAXS). These results suggest that information on the various physical properties obtained through the research of liquid crystal emulsion structure is expected to be widely used in cosmetics development in the future.

Local structure refinement of the BaFe1-xSnxO3-y system (x=0.00-0.50) has been carried out with Fe K-edge x-ray absorpion spectroscopic studies. It is found out that the Fe ions are placed in two different symmetric sites such as tetrahedral and octahedral sites in the compounds by comparison with Fe K-edge x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectrum of the γ-Fe2O3 compound as a reference. Small absorption peaks of dipole-forbiden transitions appear at a pre-edge region of 7111 eV due to the existence of Fe ions in the tetrahedral and octahedral sites. The peak intensity decreases with the substitution amount of Sn ion. Three different absorption peaks of 1s→4p dipole-allowed transition appear on the energy region between 7123 and 7131 eV. The peaks correspond to 1s→4p main transition of Fe ions in tetrahedral and octahedral sites and 1s→4p transition followed by the shakedown process of ligand to metal charge transfer. The bond distances between Fe ions in the tetrahedral site and nearest neighboring oxygen atom (Fe-4O), and those in octahedral site (Fe-6O) are determined with the extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis. Two different interatomic distances increase with the substitution amount of Sn ion and also the bond lengths of Fe-4O are shorter than those of Fe-6O in all compounds.

The structure and layer distribution of cadmium arachidate Langmuir-Blodgett film were analyzed by the small angle X-ray reflectivity measurements using synchrotron radiation. Y-to X type transition was ocurred during the 39th passage of deposition of cadmium arachidate. Based on the measurement of the consumed area of the monolayer, it was determined that about 27.5 layer was deposited. Using the synchrotron X-ray, the reflectivity profile of cadmium arachidate LB film over the wide range of grazing angle was obtained. The X-ray reflectivity profile was analyzed using the recursion formula. By fitting the location and dispersion of the subsidiary maxima between the Bragg peaks of the measured reflectivity profile with that of the calculated reflectivity profile, the average thickness and the distribution of layer thickness were evaluated. The genetic algorithm was adopted to the fitting of reflectivity profile to evaluate the optimum value of the number distribution of layer. Based on the morphology measurement with an atomic force microscopy (AFM), the domain structure and mean roughness of LB films were obtained. The mean roughness value calculated based on the number of layer distribution obtained from the measurement by AFM is consistent with that obtained from X-ray reflectivity analysis.

전지 재료의 충방전 과정 연구에는 X-선 분말회절(x-ray powder diffraction techniques)과 중성자회절을 많이 사용하였다. 하지만 이러한 분석기술은 long-range order의 구조에 관한 정보를 제공하는데 유용하지만 atomic scale의 구조에 관한 정보를 얻기에는 한계가 있다. Li 전지에서의 전기화학적 반응에서는 cathode 물질에 포함된 전이금속의 산화, 환원 반응에 의한 Li 이온의 intercalation (charge process)과 deintercalation (discharge process) 현상이 일어난다. 이러한 충방전 과정은 알려지지 않은 다양한 형태의 위상 변화를 동반하게 되는데 x-선 이나 중성자를 이용한 powder diffraction techniques 로는 단지 정성적인 결정학적 정보를 얻을 수 있다. 따라서 최근에 원자 단위의 local structure에 관한 정보와 electrochemical state에 관한 정보를 동시에 얻을 수 있는 X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS) 분석기술을 Li 전지분석에 활용하기 시작하였다. XAFS는 하나의 x-ray 흡수원자에 대해서 주변원자들의 원자구조에 관한 정보와 구성 원소의 electrochemical state에 관한 정보를 얻을 수 있는 분석방법이다. X-ray Induced Electron Emission Spectroscopy (XIEES)는 x-ray에 의해서 방출된 전자를 검출하여 스펙트럼을 얻는 기능을 함축적으로 나타낸 것으로, x-ray를 물질 표면에 조사하여 발생하는 광전자, Auger 전자, 이차전자 등을 전자검출기(Channel Electron Multiplier: CEM)로 검출하는 기능과, 시료를 투과한 x-ray와 시료에서 발생하는 형광 x-ray를 비례계수기로 검출하는 기능을 가지고 있다. 이러한 검출 능력을 바탕으로 EXAFS, XANES, Standing Wave Technique, Elemental Composition Analysis, DXRD, Total Reflection Technique 등을 이용하여 물질을 구성하고 있는 원소의 성분, 미세원자구조, 전자구조에 관한 정보를 얻을 수 있는 새로운 spectrometer이다. 본 연구에서는 자체 개발한 XIEES의 XAFS 기능을 이용하여 여러 가지 방법으로 제조한 LiMn2-xO4와 LiMnO2, MnO2에서 Mn K-absorption edge에 대한 chemical state 변화를 측정하였다. Absorption edge에서 chemical shift를 측정하기 위해서는 방사광 가속기 수준의 에너지 분해능(~0.3eV)이 필요하다. 이번 연구에서는 SiO2(3140) monochromator를 사용하고 여기에 맞는 적절한 parameter를 적용하여 x-ray 에너지 분해능을 포항방사광가속기 수준으로 개선하였다. XIEES에서 얻은 스펙트럼과 포항방사광가속기에서 얻은 스펙트럼을 비교하였다. Chemical shift가 일어나는 경향은 두 실험 결과가 잘 일치하였다.

A patient table considering x-ray transparency, mechanical safety and compact multi-axis moving mechanism has been developed. The goal of medical imaging technology is to keep radiation exposure of patients during x-raying to a minimum. In order to obtain clear pictures at low dose, however, the x-ray table which supports the patient must be sufficiently permeable to radiation to allow good image resolution. The table top is made of low density foam for x-ray transparent effective area and structural aluminum plate to connect moving mechanism under the table, covered with thin carbon fiber. This sandwich construction is very rigid and lightweight, so the table top can handle relatively heavy load comparing to its cantilevered structure which is unavoidable as long as cooperate with C-arm radiography. To verify the design results finite element static analysis and experimental tests have been done. According to the verification the results well satisfy certification guide lines as a medical device.
