Sol-gel 법을 이용하여 초상자성 나노 입자 $\gamma-Fe_2O_3$를 제조하였다. 입자의 크기 및 자기적 성질을 x-선 회절법(XRD), Mossbauer 분광법, 진동시료 자화율 측정기(VSM)를 이용하여 연구하였다. x-선 회절 실험결과 150 이상에서 열처리한 입자는 순수한 cubic spinel 구조를 가지며, $150^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 $\gamma-Fe_2O_3$의 평균입자 크기는 7 nm로다. Mossbauer 분광실험으로 $150^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 입자는 상온에서 초상자성의 특성을 가지고 있음을 알 수 있었으며 초상자성의 특성을 잃어버리는 차단온도 $T_B$는 $183^{\circ}C$로 결정하였으며, 또한 자기이방성상수 K = $1.6{\times}10^6erg/cm^3$의 값을 얻었다. $150^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 $\gamma-Fe_2O_3$의 VSM 측정 결과로부터 $150^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 $\gamma-Fe_2O_3$의 경우 상온에서 초상자성의 특성을 확인 할 수 있었다.

The objectives of this study were to investigate the influence of gamma irradiation for sterilization on poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) with different molecular weight and the effect of gamma irradiation on the release behavior of 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU, carmustine) from PLGA wafer with various irradiation doses. The effect of gamma irradiation on PLGA was evaluated by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). The weight average molecular weight (M$_{w}$) and glass transition temperature (T$_{g}$) of PLGA decreased after gamma irradiation. The extent of M$_{w}$ reduction was dependent on irradiation dose and PLGA molecular weight. Using EPR spectroscopy, we successfully detected gamma irradiation induced free radicals in PLGA. The gamma irradiation increased the release rate of BCNU from PLGA wafer at applied irradiation doses except 2.5 Mrad of irradiation dose in this study.study.

The effect of an electron beam and ${\gamma}$-ray irradiation on the curing of epoxy resins was investigated. Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol F (DGEBF) as epoxy resin were used. The epoxy resins containing 1.0-3.() wt% of triarylsulphonium hexafluoroantimonate(TASHFA) and triarylsulphonium hexafluorophosphate(TASHFP) as initiator were irradiated under nitrogen at room temperature with different dosage of EB and ${\gamma}$-rays from a Co$^{60}$ u source. The chemical and mechanical characteristics of irradiated epoxy resins were compared after curing of EB and ${\gamma}$-ray irradiation. The thermal properties of cured epoxy were investigated using dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. The chemical structures of cured epoxy were characterized using near infrared spectroscopy. Mechanical properties such as flexural strength, modulus were measured. The gel fraction of DGEBA with ${\gamma}$-ray was higher than that of the epoxy with EB at the same dose. Young's modulus of the sample irradiated by ${\gamma}$-ray is higher than that of sample cured by EB. From the result of strain at yield, it was found that the epoxy cured by ${\gamma}$-ray had a higher stiff property compared with the irradiated by EB.

Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy was used to investigate the effect of irradiation dose on the ESR signal intensity and to identify the stability of radicals after 9 weeks of storage in order to detect irradiated shellfishes. The irradiated shellfishes (short-necked clam, purplish washington clam, freshwater clam, jackknifed clam, scallop and hard-shell mussel) presented an asymmetric absorption in shape at $g_{1}$=2.002~2.003 and $g_{2}$=1.998. The strength of the ESR signal increased linearly with the applied doses (1~7 kGy). A highly positive correlation coefficients ($R^{2}$=0.9136~0.9896) were obtained between the irradiation dose and corresponding ESR signal intensity. The intensity of the signals after irradiation was stable even after 9 weeks of storage at 5$\pm$1$^{\circ}C$.

Electron spin resonance(ESR) spectroscopy was used to investigate the effect of irradiation dose on the ESR signal intensity of irradiated spices and to identify the stability of radicals after storage. Red, white and black peppers, and garlic powders were irradiated with doses of 0, 1, 5, 10, 20 and 30 kGy at room temperature using a Co-60 irradiator. Triplet ESR signals were observed in irradiated pepper powders, while singlet ESR signals were observed in irradiated garlic powders. Those characteristic signals were not detected in non-irradiated samples. The strength of ESR signals linearly increased with the applied doses(1~3 kGy). Highly positive correlation coefficients ($R^2$=0.9757~0.9933) were obtained between the irradiation doses and the corresponding ESR signal intensities. The signal intensities of irradiated samples were stable even after 97 days of storage at room temperature.

The temporal variation of a secondary electron emission coefficient (${\gamma}$ coefficient) of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) was investigated in a dc silane plasma. Estimated ${\gamma}$ coefficients have a value of 2.73 ${\times}$ 10$^{-2}$ on the pure aluminum electrode and 1.5 ${\times}$ 10$^{-3}$ after 2 hours deposition of -Si:H thin films on a cathode. It showed an abrupt decrease for about 30 minutes before saturation. The variation of the ${\gamma}$ coefficient was estimated as a function of the thin film thickness, and the film thickness was about 80 nm after 30 minutes deposition time. These results are compared with the results of a computer simulation for ion penetration into a cathode.

This study described about preparation of the cross-linked silk fibroin (SF) film by ${\gamma}$-irradiation of the casted SF film, which is fabricated from aqueous solution regenerated via fibers of cocoons and their application as supports for human cell culture. The properties of cross-linked SF film were evaluated by FT-IR spectroscopy, contact angle, solubility to water, thermal analysis, surface area analyzer, and morphology via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The cross-linked SF films were not dissolved in water and exhibited the rough surface morphology, large surface area, and good thermal properties. The human fibroblast cell (CCD-986sk) and embryo kidney-ft cell were well growed on the surface of cross-linked SF film supports prepared by ${\gamma}$-irradiation. The cross-linked SF film prepared by ${\gamma}$-irradiation can be used as biomaterials for human cell culture.

Alnine pellets were installed in a nuclear power plant for one or two operation cycles and measured by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrometers for dosimetry. Dose and "x/y ratio", i.e., satellite peak over main center peak ratio, were measured for the returned alanine dosimeters from the nuclear power plant and compared to the values of reference alanine dosimeters exposed only to gamma rays. The variation of the x/y ratio change depended on the population of radicals from each radiation component with different LET. The gamma dose in a mixed radiation field was estimated by an additive gamma ray irradiation experiment and the measured dose rate at specified locations in the containment building.

본 연구에서는 배출가스 중에 포함된 NO를 비선택적 촉매환원법으로 환원시켜 제거하기 위하여 Ag와 V의 함량을 여러 가지로 달리하여 ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$에 담지한 촉매를 제조하였고, 제조한 촉매에 대하여 온도, 산소농도, 아황산가스농도의 변화에 따른 $NO_x$의 전환율에 대하여 연구하였다. 또한 제조한 촉매의 물성분석을 통하여 촉매의 상태와 $NO_x$의 전환율과의 관계를 알아보았다. $AgV/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 촉매의 경우에는 고온에서는 $Ag/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 촉매보다 낮은 $NO_x$ 전환율을 나타내는 반면에 저온에서는$Ag/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 촉매보다 높은 $NO_x$ 전환율을 나타내었고, 반응가스 중에 $SO_2$가 함유되어 있어도 $NO_x$의 전환율이 낮아지지 않았다. 반응실험 전 후의 촉매에 대하여 X-ray Diffraction, X-ray Photo electron Spectroscopy, Temperature Programmed Reduction, Ultraviolet-Visible Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy 등의 분석결과와 반응실험 결과를 비교하여 볼 때 V가 포함됨으로 인하여 Ag의 산화상태가 잘 유지되지 못하여 고온에서는 $NO_x$ 전환율이 낮아지며, $300^{\circ}C$ 이하의 저온에서는 V의 촉매작용으로 인하여 $NO_x$ 전환율이 높아진 것으로 나타났다.

As the field of application of in-situ gamma spectroscopy is diversified, proficiency is required for consistent and accurate analysis. In this study, a program was developed to virtually create gamma energy spectra of artificial nuclides, which are difficult to obtain through actual measurements, for training. The virtual spectrum was created by synthesizing the spectra of the background radiation obtained through actual measurement and the theoretical spectra of the artificial radionuclides obtained by a Monte Carlo simulation. Since the theoretical spectrum can only be obtained for a given geometrical structure, representative major geometries for in-situ measurement (ground surface, concrete wall, radioactive waste drum) and the detectors (HPGe, NaI(Tl), LaBr₃(Ce)) were predetermined. Generated virtual spectra were verified in terms of validity and harmonization by gamma spectrometry and energy calibration. As a result, it was confirmed that the energy calibration results including the peaks of the measured spectrum and the peaks of the theoretical spectrum showed differences of less than 1 keV from the actual energies, and that the calculated radioactivity showed a difference within 20% from the actual inputted radioactivity. The verified data were assembled into a database and a program that can generate a virtual spectrum of desired condition was developed.
