A grid was sandwiched between two cascaded imaging plates. Using a fan-beam X-ray tube and a single exposure scheme, the two imaging plates, respectively, recorded grid-less and grid type information of the object. Referring to the mathematical model of the Grid-less and grid technique, it was explained that the collected components whereas that of imaging plates with grid was of high together with large scattered components whereas that of imaging plate with grid was of low and suppressed scattered components. Based on this assumption and using a Gaussian convolution kernel representing the effect of scattering, the related data of the imaging plates were simulated by computer. These observed data were then employed in the developed post-processing estimation and restoration (kalman-filter) algorithms and accordingly, the quality of the resultant image was effectively improved.

X-ray lithography was employed to fabricate ITO-less high resolution sustain electrodes for plasma display panel (PDP). A polyimide film based X-ray mask and Xray sensitive Ag electrode paste were fabricated to check their effect on the patterning of Ag electrodes with less than 30 ${\mu}m$ in width. The X-ray lithographic method was found to be useful for the high resolution sustain electrode patterns due to the high penetration power and low scattering property of X-ray source.

Colloidal solutions of crystalline PbSe nanoparticles have been synthesized by hot solution chemical process using PbO in oleic acid and tributylphosphine (TBP) bonded selenium. The use of TBP as a capping agent along with oleic acid gives a very good yield (around 10% at 180 ${^{\circ}C}$) with an average diameter of particle of about < 6.6 nm. The effects of temperature on size and production yield of PbSe quantum dots are studied. Xray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and UV/VIS/NIR absorption spectroscopy were used to characterize the samples.

In order to identify peculiar X-ray sources, we select 442 sources with no counterparts in other wavelength bands (as of the year 1999) from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey Bright Source Catalog. We cross-correlate this initial list with the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database, the USNO and WISE catalogs, and the HEASARC XRAY Master Catalog. Eventually, we are left with four unidentified sources with no counterparts in other wavelength bands. We present these four sources and their X-ray properties in this paper.

The wetting dynamics of water droplets dispensed on the surface of dry and wet hydrophilic membranes were investigated experimentally from a microscale point of view. By using a high-speed, white-beam x-ray microimaging (WXMI) synchrotron, consecutive images displaying the dynamic motions of the droplets were acquired. Through analyzing the characteristics observed, it was found that the dry hydrophilic membrane showed local hydrophobicity at a certain point during the absorption process with apparent contact angles greater than 90. While on the other hand, the apparent contact angles of a water droplet absorbing into the wet membrane remained less than 90 and showed total hydrophilicity. The observations and interpretation of characteristics that affect the contact, wetting, recoiling, and dynamic behaviors of droplets are significant for controlling liquid droplet impingement in a desired manner.

X선 흡수분광법(X-ray absorption spectroscopy, XAS)을 이용하는 X선 흡수미세구조(X-ray absorption fine structure, XAFS)의 분석은 다양한 학문분야에서 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 XAFS 분석을 위한 토양 시료의 준비에서부터 XAFS 측정 후 X선 흡수 끝머리 부근 미세구조(X-ray absorption near edge structure, XANES) 및 광범위 X선 흡수 미세구조(extended Xray absorption fine structure, EXAFS) 데이터를 추출하여 연구에 활용하는 것에 대해 간략하게 소개하였다. 특히 토양환경 분야에서 XANES 및 EXAFS 분석을 활용한 선행연구들에 대해 비소(As) 및 중금속 주요 원소(Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn)별로 그 내용을 정리하였다. 토양환경 분야에서 XAFS의 응용은 납(Pb)의 화학종 규명에 관한 연구가 가장 많은 것으로 나타났다. 이와 함께 대부분의 연구들은 오염토양 내 중금속 화학종의 규명을 통해 중금속의 유입 원인 등에 대해 기술하고 있으며, 이를 정화하기 위한 다양한 방법들(개량제 처리, 식물정화)을 적용한 후, 안정화된 중금속 화학종을 XANES 및 EXAFS 분석을 통해 규명하여 정화 방법들의 효율성과 안정성에 대해 보고하였다.

The pure crystalline $Li_{1.1}V_{0.9}O_2$ powder has been prepared by a simple solid state reaction of $Li_2CO_3$ and $V_2O_3$ precursors under nitrogen gas containing 10 mol % hydrogen gas flow. The structure of $Li_{1.1}V_{0.9}O_2$ powder was analyzed using Xray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The stoichiometric $Li_{1.1}V_{0.9}O_2$ powder was used as anode active material for lithium secondary batteries. Its electrochemical properties were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and constant current methods using lithium foil electrode. The observed specific discharge capacity and charge capacity were 360 mAh/g and 260 mAh/g during the first cycle, respectively. In addition, the cyclic efficiency of this cell was 72.2% in the first cycle. The specific capacity of $Li_{1.1}V_{0.9}O_2$ anode rapidly declines as the current rate increases and retains only 30 % of the capacity of 0.1C rate at 1C rate. The crystallinity of the $Li_{1.1}V_{0.9}O_2$ anode decrease as discharge reaction proceeds. However, the relative intensity of main peaks was almost recovered when the cell was charged up to 1.5 V.

The new organic semiconductors which are composed of divinylbenzene core unit and alkoxynaphthalene on both sides, 1,4-bis-2-(6-octyloxy)naphthalen-2-ylvinylbenzene (BONVB), 1,4-bis-2-(6-decyloxy)naphthalen-2-ylvinylbenzene (BDNVB) and 1,4-bis-2-(6-dodecyloxy)naphthalen-2-ylvinylbenzene (BDDNVB) were synthesized by Wittig reaction. The structures of obtained BONVB, BDNVB and BDDNVB were confirmed by FT-IR and mass spectroscopy. UV-absorption of thin film showed H-aggregates and J-aggregates due to closely packed structure between adjacent molecules. The characterization of vacuum-evaporated films by Xray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) showed that the chain length of alkoxy group affects the crystallinity and morphology. BONVB with octyloxy group showed the mobility of $0.011cm^2/V{\cdot}s$, on/off ratio of $1.31{\times}10^5$, and a subthreshold slope of 0.93 V.

$TiO_2$ nanopowders were synthesized by new sol-gel combustion hybrid method using acetylene black as a fuel. The dried gels exhibited autocatalytic combustion behaviour. $TiO_2$ nanopowders with an anatase structure and a narrow size distribution were obtained at 400-600 ${^{\circ}C}$. Their crystal structures were examined by powder Xray diffraction (XRD) and their morphology and crystal size were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The crystal size of the nanopowders was found to be in the range of 15-20 nm. $TiO_2$ powders synthesized at 500 ${^{\circ}C}$ and 600 ${^{\circ}C}$ were applied to a dye solar cell. An efficiency of 5.2% for the conversion of solar energy to electricity ($J_{sc}$ = 11.79 mA/$cm^2$, $V_{oc}$ = 0.73 V, and FF = 0.58) was obtained for an AM 1.5 irradiation (100 mW/$cm^2$) using the $TiO_2$ nanopowder synthesized by the sol-gel combustion hybrid method at 500 ${^{\circ}C}$.

Layered $Li_{1.2}(Fe_{0.16}Mn_{0.32}Ni_{0.32})O_2$ was prepared by the mixed hydroxide method at various temperatures. Xray diffraction (XRD) pattern shows that this material has a ${\alpha}-NaFeO_2$ layered structure with $R{\bar{3}}m$ space group and that cation mixing is reduced with increasing synthesis temperature. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveals that nano-sized $Li_{1.2}(Fe_{0.16}Mn_{0.32}Ni_{0.32})O_2$ powder has uniform particle size distribution. X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) analysis is used to study the local electronic structure changes around the Mn, Fe, and Ni atoms in this material. The sample prepared at $700^{\circ}C$ delivers the highest discharge capacity of 207 $mAhg^{-1}$ between 2-4.5 V at 0.1 $mAcm^{-2}$ with good capacity retention of 80% after 20 cycles.
