$Pb_{1-x}$ $Cd_{x}$ $I_2$ (x=0.0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1.0) single crystals were grown by using Bridgman method and their structural and optical properties were investigated from the measurement of X-ray diffraction, optical absorption and photoluminescence. As-grown single crystals have hexagonal closed packed layered structure. The values of lattice constant c decrease with increasing composition x. Direct and indirect transition optical energy band gaps are calculated from optical absorption spectra measured at room temperature. They increase exponentially from 2.3eV to 3.2 eV with increasing composition x. The energies of photoluminescence peak due to donor bound exciton measured at 6K increase with increasing composition . However, the peak energies of donor-acceptor pair (DAP) are independent of the optical energy band gaps of $Pb_{1-x}$/$Cd_{x}$ $I_2$ single crystals.

Sparse angular sampling has been studied recently owing to its potential to decrease the radiation exposure from computed tomography (CT). In this study, we investigated the analytic reconstruction algorithm in sparse angular sampling using the sinogram interpolation method for improving image quality and computation speed. A prototype of the spectral CT system, which has a 64-pixel Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT)-based photon-counting detector, was used. The source-to-detector distance and the source-to-center of rotation distance were 1,200 and 1,015 mm, respectively. Two energy bins (23~33 keV and 34~44 keV) were set to obtain two reconstruction images. We used a PMMA phantom with height and radius of 50.0 mm and 17.5 mm, respectively. The phantom contained iodine, gadolinium, calcification, and lipid. The Feld-kamp-Davis-Kress (FDK) with the sinogram interpolation method and Maximum Likelihood Expectation Maximization (MLEM) algorithm were used to reconstruct the images. We evaluated the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the materials. The SNRs of iodine, calcification, and liquid lipid were increased by 167.03%, 157.93%, and 41.77%, respectively, with the 23~33 keV energy bin using the sinogram interpolation method. The SNRs of iodine, calcification, and liquid state lipid were also increased by 107.01%, 13.58%, and 27.39%, respectively, with the 34~44 keV energy bin using the sinogram interpolation method. Although the FDK algorithm with the sinogram interpolation did not produce better results than the MLEM algorithm, it did result in comparable image quality to that of the MLEM algorithm. We believe that the sinogram interpolation method can be applied in various reconstruction studies using the analytic reconstruction algorithm. Therefore, the sinogram interpolation method can improve the image quality in sparse-angular sampling and be applied to CT applications.

탄화온도 차이에 따른 목질 탄화물의 중금속 흡착성 변화를 알아보기 위하여, 신갈나무(Quercus mongolica) 목부와 낙엽송(Larix kaempferi) 수피분말을 $400{\sim}900^{\circ}C$에서 탄화하였다. 목질 탄화물의 pH는 재료의 종류와 관계없이 탄화온도의 증가와 함께 증가하여 $900^{\circ}C$의 목탄 및 수피탄은 각각 10.8, 10.4를 나다내었다. 또한 탄화 온도 증가와 함께 탄소함량비가 증가하고 동일 탄화온도에서 목탄에 비해 수피탄의 탄소함량비가 큰 경향을 보였다. 액상흡착력을 나타내는 요오드흡착력은 목탄이 수피탄보다 다소 큰 경향을 나타내었다. 이러한 특성을 지닌 목탄과 수피탄에 의한 15ppm의 Cd, Zn 및 Cu 중금속용액에 대한 흡착제거율을 조사한 바, 높은 탄화온도에서 제조된 목탄과 수피탄일수록 높은 중금속제거율을 나타내었으며, 탄화물 종류에 있어서는 목탄이 수피탄 보다 높은 중금속 제거율을 나타내는 경향이 있었다. 특히 목탄의 경우, $500^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 제조된 탄화물 0.2 g의 사용으로 거의 100%에 가까운 제거율을 나타내었다. 한편 흡착질 종류에 있어서의 제거성능에는 다소 차이가 있으며, 본 연구에서 사용한 탄화물의 흡착성은 Cu>Cd>Zn 순으로 높았다. 이는 목탄과 같은 흡착제와 흡착의 대상이 되는 흡착질과의 물리 화학적 상호관계가 흡착에 영향을 주기 때문으로 목탄의 흡착효율을 높이기 위해서는 이에 대한 연구가 더 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
