  • Nowadays the risk of radiation is getting more serious, so we must know the exact dose that was irradiated, Because very high radiation dose is used in radiation therapy field. We used the ionization chamber which measure the radiation dose in this study. We tried to know the incorrect result from the distortion of geometric structure of ionization chamber and we studied how to find the distortion of geometric structure of ionization chamber. We used a radio fluoroscopy to find the wound degree of electrode of ionization chamber and a reconstructed 3D CT image to analyze the wound degree of electrode quantitatively. we measured degree of distortion by comparing with absorbed dose of normal electrode and wound electrode. The comparative result is not absolute dosimetry at specific point but relative dosimetry between thats. We measured 4 MV, 10MV photon with same absorbed dose and dose rate. The degree of distortion of wound electrode was totally $5.5{\sim}7.2%$, and there was no difference between two energies. The variation induced from radiation dose to be irradiated and dose rate, and the degree of distortion from wound direction also was almost similar value. We could find that the geometric structure of ionization chamber that can influence a basic measurement of radiation dose can be changed by old usage and inattention of management in this study, especially winding of electrode can be happened, in radiation therapy field, It is very important to keep precise radiation dose quantitatively.

  • This study was to investigate interaction between ionization rate and absorption rate of calcium(Ca) in each feeding Ca sources in rats. The results were as follows. 1. The ionized Ca ions 134 into rats were absorbed in about two hours while Ca from other sources like powdered egg-shell Ca or precipitable Ca carbonate caused more than five hours to be absorbed. This means that the ionization of Ca is essential for the fast absorption in rat. 2. Absorption rate were increased in the rank order to brown rice vinegar-Ca acetate > brewed vinegar-Ca acetate > precipitated Ca carbonate > egg-shell Ca powder by feeding sources in rat and absorption rate of brown rice vinegar Ca was appeared 4 times highly than egg-shell Ca powder. 3. Absorption rate of brewed vinegar Ca acetate were appeared excellent, 1.4 times highly in case of the brewed vinegar at no ventilation condition than ventilation condition. 4. Ca concentration in blood serum was significantly enhanced the increased ionization rate of Ca in the above experiment rat models regardless of dietary Ca levels.

  • High power impulse magnetron sputtering (HIPIMS), also known as the technology is called peak power density in a short period, you can get high, so high ionization sputtering rate can make. Higher ionization of sputtered species to a variety of coating materials conventional in the field of improving the characteristics and self-assisted ion thin film deposition process, which contributes to a superior being. HIPIMS at the same power, but the deposition speed is slow in comparison with DC disadvantages. Since recently as a replacement for HIPIMS modulated pulse power (MPP) has been developed. This ionization rate of the sputtered species can increase the deposition rate is lowered and at the same time to overcome the problems to be reported. The differences between the MPP and the HIPIMS is a simple single pulse with a HIPIMS whereas, MPP is 3 ms in pulse length is adjustable, with the full set of multi-pulses within the pulse period and the pulse is applied can be micro advantages. In this experiment, $In_2O_3$ : $SnO_2$ composition ratio of 9 : 1 wt% target was used, Ar : $O_2$ flow rate ratio is 4.8 to 13.0% of the rate of deposition was carried out at room temperature. Ar 40 sccm and the flow rate of $O_2$ and then fixed 2 ~ 6 sccm was compared against that. The thickness of the thin film deposition is fixed at 60 nm, when the partial pressure of oxygen at 9.1%, the specific resistance value of $4.565{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$, transmittance 86.6%, mobility $32.29cm^2/Vs$ to obtain the value.

  • In 2-dimensional SCBF (Spherically Convergent Beam Fusion) device, the effect on neutron production rate of the grid cathode geometry was simulated. The motion of Particles was tracked using Monte Carlo Method including the atomic and molecular collision processes and potential distribution was calculated by Finite Element Method, Main processes of the discharge were the ionization of $D_2$ by fast $D_2^+\;ion$. As the number of cathode rings was small and the size of grid cathode decreased, the ion current increased and neutron production rate will also increase. The star mode discharge which is a very important characteristic in SCBF device, was confirmed by the ionization position.

  • Recently, as the clinically positive biological effects of ultra-high dose rate (UHDR) radiation beams have been revealed, interest in flash radiation therapy has increased. Generally, FLASH preclinical experiments are performed using UHDR electron beams generated by linear accelerators. Real-time monitoring of UHDR beams is required to deliver the correct dose to a sample. However, it is difficult to use typical transmission-type ionization chambers for primary beam monitoring because there is no suitable electrometer capable of reading high pulsed currents, and collection efficiency is drastically reduced in pulsed radiation beams with ultra-high doses. In this study, a monitoring method using bremsstrahlung photons generated by irradiation devices and a water phantom was proposed. Charges collected in an ionization chamber located at the back of a water phantom were analyzed using the bremsstrahlung tail on electron depth dose curves obtained using radiochromic films. The dose conversion factor for converting a monitored charge into a delivered dose was determined analytically for the Advanced Markus® chamber and compared with experimentally determined values. It is anticipated that the method proposed in this study can be useful for monitoring sample doses in UHDR electron beam irradiation.

  • Resonant multi photon ionization (RMPD of Hg atoms is studied by focusing a high-power laser into the ionization cell. The intermediate resonant state is taken as $6d^1D_2$ with the 4-photon resonance wavelength of 560.7 nm. The ionization signal is measured as Hg vapor pressure (0.1-3.0 Torr), laser intensity $(10-120GW/\textrm{cm}^2)$, and laser wavelength (559-569 nm) vary. AC Stark shift and line broadening of the resonant state $(6d^1D_2)$ are observed and the shift factor is measured to be $-0.6(cm^{-1}/GW/\textrm{cm}^2$. It is also observed that the ionization signal increases as the Hg vapor pressure increases up to a certain value of pressure, however, if the pressure further increases, the signal decreases. The order of non-linearity, which discribes the laser intensity dependence of ionization rate, is measured to be 3 at the resonance, and compared with the theoretical results.esults.

  • The specific rates of solvolysis of t-butyl fluoroformate (1) have been measured at $40.0^{\circ}C$ in 21 pure and binary solvents. These give a satisfactory correlation over the full range of solvents when the extended Grunwald-Winstein equation, with incorporation of the solvent nucleophilicity and the solvent ionizing power, is applied. The actual values are very similar to those obtained in earlier studies of the solvolyses of isopropyl chloroformate and ethyl chlorothioformate in the more ionizing and least nucleophilic solvents, which are believed to proceed by an ionization pathway. The small negative values for the entropies of activation are consistent with the ionization nature of the proposed rate-determining step. These observations are also compared with those previously reported for the corresponding primary and secondary alkyl haloformate esters.

  • The ionized magnetron sputtering is very useful in filling of small metal contact or via in ULSI processing with very high ionization upto 80% based on incoming flux ratio. But fairly high sputtering gas pressure is required to get high ionization, which instead gives low deposition rate and diverse incoming neutral's angular distribution. The electron quenching by heavily sputtered metals and gas rarefaction were considered the main causes of decreased ionization in this process. RF pulsing of sputtering power was proposed to solve those two problems. The results showed that 10㎳/10 ㎳ and 100㎳/100 ㎳ of on/off pulsings were optimal pulse conditions from OES measurements and also XRD of deposited Ag film showed distinct change of (111) to (200) preferred orientation. These results were analysed in a view point of neutral gas heating and cooling by high power sputtering.
