This paper presents the conceptual design of the electrical power system using Li-ion cell technology for a satellite application. Compared to a conventional NiCd cell, a Li-ion cell has a lot of advantages such as an energy density, mass and a volume. Normally, a Li-ion cell has three times than conventional NiCd cells in a capacity such as a cell voltage. The normal voltage of a NiCd cell is around +1.2V and a Li-ion cell could be in +3.6V. However, the handling procedure for a Li-ion cell in charge and discharge might be difficult than a conventional NiCd cell, which means that the charge and discharge of each cell should be monitored and controlled by electrical circuits to prevent an over-charge and over-discharge. Therefore, in this paper we propose the design consideration and the characteristics of a Li-ion cell during charging and discharging battery packs in the point of view of electrical power system.

Carbon nanotube (CNT) based membranes are promising candidates for separation membranes by showing high water transport rate and ion rejection rate according to their radii. The ion selectivity is an important factor to discover the full potential of CNT membranes, and it is affected by the functionalization of CNTs. With multivalent/size ion mixtures, the ion selectivity is affected by not only ion-functional groups interaction but also ion-ion interactions and ion size exclusion in a complex manner. In this study, molecular dynamics simulations are performed to study the ion selectivity of functionalized carbon nanotubes when multivalent/size ions are contained. The permeation energy barriers are calculated by plotting potential of mean force profiles, and various factors, such as CNT size and partial charges, affecting ion selectivity are investigated. The results presented here will be useful for designing CNT membranes for ion separation, biomimetic ion channels, etc.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide basic information for the establishment of a Heavy Ion Therapy center by analyzing the cases of Heavy Ion Therapy devices, introducing the equipment and space composition of Heavy Ion Therapy equipments. Methods: This study is carried out by study the Heavy Ion Therapy, by figure out status of the installation of treatment centers around the world and by analyze the composition of Heavy Ion Therapy equipments and spaces through case studies. Results: The results of this study, which investigated the treatment of Heavy Ion Therapy and analyzed the plans of the five Heavy Ion Therapy centers, are summarized as follows. 1) Heavy Ion equipment requires a significant floor area. Vertical as well, many cross-sectional areas need to be secured for the construction of a delivery system. The Heavy Ion Therapy device should be built as a shielded wall because of the radiation leaking. Therefore, it is necessary to consist of a independent treatment center. 2) The size of Heavy Ion devices is getting smaller. Linac can be put into syncrotron. and the size of syncrotron, delivery system, and rotating-gantry is getting smaller. 3) Japan is often installed for treatment, and control rooms are integrated, while Europe has secured research space and each control room is separated. Implications: People are not familiar with the Heavy Ion Therapy. And the effectiveness of the treatment is not well promoted yet. Hopefully, more attention will be paid to the research involved in the Heavy Ion Therapy.

In this study, plasma source ion implantation was used to improve the wear properties of biocompatible titanium implant. In order to observe the effect of ion energy and dose on wear property of titanium implant, pin-on-disk type wear tests in Hank's solution were carried out. The friction coefficient of ion implanted specimens were increased from 0.47 to 0.65 under high energy and ion dose conditions. As increasing ion energy and ion dose, the amount of wear was reduced.

The behavior of properties of ion exchanged substrate glasses was investigated in this study. In order to study the effects of ion exchange, ion exchange behavior with ion penetration depth, amount of ion exchange, density and thermal expansion was measured according to the time and temperature. The mechanical properties were evaluated by the three point bending test and curvature change, and then fracture patterns were investigated by optical microscope.

Molecular dynamicsinvestigations of ion implantation considering point defect generation were performed with ion energies in the range of ~1keV, Simulation starts perfect diamond cubic lattice site. Stillinger-Weber potential and ZBL potential were used to calculate forces between atoms. We have simulated slowing-down of ion velocity, ion trajectory and coupled-coing between ion and silicon. We also discussed distribution of point defect using rdial distribution function. We found that interstitial produced by ion bombardment mainly formed interstitial cluster.

B, P, and Cs ions were implanted with various parameters into silicon nitride layers prepared by LPCVD. In order to get the maximum impurity concentration at the silicon nitride surface, a high temperature oxide (HTO) buffer layers was deposited prior to the implantation. Alkali ion and pH sensing properties of the layers were investigated with an electrolyte-insulator-silicon (EIS) structure using high frequency capacitance-voltage (HF-CV) measurements. The ion sensing properties of implanted silicon nitrides were compared to those of as-deposited silicon nitride. Band Cs co-implanted silicon nitrides showed a pronounced difference in pH and alkali ion sensing properties compared to those of as-deposited silicon nitride. B or P implanted silicon nitrides in contrast showed similar ion sensitivities like those of as-deposited silicon nitride.

Synthetic mica $NaMg_{2.5}(Si_4O_{10})F_2 (Na-TSM)$ was treated with HCl solution and H-type exchange resin to investigate the chemical stability and the ion exchange by measuring the dissolution of chemical components and the exchanged $H^+$ ion. The replacement of $Na^+$ ion occurred in contact with HCl solution and H-type ion exchange resin at the surface of Na-TSM particles reached $Na^+$ ions at maximum value of 70~80%. $Mg^{2+}$ ion of octahedral layer became to dissolve from the pH2 solution and th amount of it dissolved in-creased almost proportional to $H^+$ ion concentration from around 0.02N $H^+$ ion equilibrium concentration. The crystalline structure of Na-TSM was destructed by dissolution of Mg2+ ion in cncentrated hydrochloric acid solution and resulted silica gel precipitation.

A ion source using inductively coupled plasma has been tested in order to test its feasibility as a high brightness ion source for focused ion beam. When operating the ion source with filter magentas in front of plasma electrode for a negative ion source, lower remittances are expected. Extracted beam remittances are measured with an Allison-type scanning device for various plasma parameters and extraction conditions. The normalized omittance has been measured to be around 0.2$\pi$mmmrad with beam currents of up to 0.55 ㎃. In particular, noting that multicusp magnets have a role in decreasing the remittance as well as increasing plasma discharge efficiency, transverse magnetic field has been confirmed to be a useful tool fur decreasing remittance via electron energy control.

Two of fundamental approaches that can be used to understand ion-solid interaction are Monte Carlo (MC) and Molecular Dynamic (MD) simulations. For the simplicity of simulation Monte Carlo simulation method is widely preferred. In this paper, basic consideration and algorithm of Monte Carlo simulation will be presented as well as simulation results. Sputtering caused by incident ion beam will be discussed with distribution of sputtered particles and their energy distributions. Redeposition of sputtered particles that are experienced refraction at the substrate-vacuum interface additionally presented. In addition, reflection of incident ions with reflection coefficient will be presented together with spatial and energy distributions. This Monte Carlo simulation will be useful in simulating and describing ion beam related processes such as Ion beam induced deposition/etching process, local nano-scale distribution of focused ion beam implanted ions, and ion microscope imaging process etc.
