  • 본 연구에서는 의료용 선형가속기로부터 발생되는 명목상 가속전압 6 MV선의 검출특성을 확인하기 위하여 유전체 물질을 사용한 평행판 검출기를 제작하였다. 제작한 검출기의 전극은 단면이 크롬으로 코팅되어 있는 FEP유전체 필름(두께: 100 $\mu\textrm{m}$)을 사용하였고 두 전극 사이에 PTFE유전체 필름(두께 : 100 $\mu\textrm{m}$)을 삽입하였다. 측정을 위하여 선원-팬텀 표면간의 거리 100 cm, 그리고 팬텀의 표면으로부터 깊이 5 cm되는 지점에 방사선 유도전하를 획득하기 위한 제작검출기를 놓았다. 방사선 조사시 제작검출기의 유용성을 알아보기 위하여, 영점 변동, 누설 전류, 인가전압에 따른 검출기의 반응, 재현성, 선형성, 조직최대선량비 등을 측정하였다. 측정결과 검출기의 영점 변동 전류 (I$_{Z}$ )는 8.3 pA, 누설 전류(I$_{I}$)는 10 pA 이었다. 제작 검출기는 인가전압에 대한 선형성을 보였으며, 또한 재현성실험에서는 조사된 선량에 대하여 1% 오차 범위 내에서 일치하였다. 검출기의 선량에 대한 선형성은 3% 이내의 오차범위에서 일치하면서 선량율 의존성이 있음을 확인하였다. 조직최대선량비분포에 대한 제작 평행판 검출기와 비교검출기간의 선량오차는 팬텀내의 최대 선량점으로부터 7.5 cm까지 3% 이내에서 일치하였다. 본 연구결과 유전체 필름을 이용한 평행판 검출기는 선량계로서의 기본적인 특성들을 허용 가능한 범위에서 만족스러워 상대선량측정을 위한 검출기로 사용할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • In this paper, a full-wave rectifier (FWR) with a simple vibration detector suitable for use with vibrational energy harvesting systems is presented. Conventional active FWRs where active diodes are used to reduce the diode voltage drop and increase the system efficiency are usually powered from the output. Output-powered FWRs exhibit relatively high efficiencies because the comparators used in active diodes are powered from the stable output voltage. Nevertheless, a major drawback is that these FWRs consume power from the output storage capacitor even when the system is not harvesting any energy. To overcome the problem, a technique using a simple vibration detector consisting of a peak detector and a level converter is proposed. The vibration detector detects whether vibrational energy exists or not in the input terminal and disables the comparators when there is no vibrational energy. The proposed FWR with the vibration detector is designed using a $0.35-{\mu}m$ CMOS process. Simulation results have verified the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. By using the proposed vibration detector, a decrease in leakage current by approximately 67,000 times can be achieved after the vibration disappears.

  • The study of photoconductor materials is demanded for development for flat-panel digital x-ray Imager. In this paper, We investigated the feasibility of application as x-ray image sensor using Cd(Zn)Te compound with high stopping power on high radiation. These Cd(Zn)Te samples were fabricated by vacuum thermal evaporation method to large area deposition and investigated I-V measurement as applied voltage. The experimental results show that the additional injection Zn in CdTe film reduced the leakage current, for the $Cd_{0.85}Zn_{0.15}Te$ detector, the net charge had the highest value as $144.58pC/cm^2$ at 30 V.

  • A review of the documentation and an interpretation of the NEA-1517/74 and NEA-1517/80 shielding benchmarks (measurements of photon leakage flux from a hollow sphere with a central 14 MeV neutron source) from the SINBAD database with the Monte Carlo code MCS and the most up-to-date ENDF/B-VIII.0 neutron data library are conducted. The two analyzed benchmarks describe satisfactorily the energy resolution of the photon detector and the geometry of the spherical samples with inner beam tube, tritium target and cooling water circuit, but lack information regarding the detector geometry and the distances of shields and collimators relatively to the neutron source and the detector. Calculations are therefore conducted for a sphere model only. A preliminary verification of MCS neutron-photon calculations against MCNP6.2 is first conducted, then the impact of modelling the inner beam tube, tritium target and cooling water circuit is assessed. Finally, a comparison of calculated results with the libraries ENDF/B-VII.1 and ENDF/B-VIII.0 against the measurements is conducted and shows reasonable agreement. The MCS and MCNP inputs used for the interpretation are available as supplementary material of this article.

  • In sodium systems, leakage is one of the safety concerns; it can cause chemical reactions, which may result in fires. There are contact and non-contact types of leak detectors, and the conventional method of non-contact type detection is by gas sampling. Because of the complexity of this method, there has always been a need for a simple gas sensor, and the resistive-type nanostructure ZnO sensor is a promising option with various advantages. In this study, a ZnO sensor was fabricated, and the concept was tested as a leak detector using a dedicated experiment facility. The experiment results showed distinctive changes in resistance with the presence of sodium aerosol under various conditions. Replacing the conventional gas sampling with the ZnO sensors is expected to enable identification of the leakage location if used as a point-wise instrumentation and to greatly reduce the total cost, making the system simple, light, and effective. For further study, more tests will be performed to evaluate the sensitivity of key parameters under various conditions.

  • ISO pneumatic cylinder reliability test requires air leakage measurement. Air cylinder has many parts and the leakage shall be measured before, during and after endurance test, and, the leakage should smaller than the specified value. The existing measurement method needs complex operation and the calibration of leak detector, and, has to separate the testing cylinder from endurance test device, which causes the change of contact condition of seal in the cylinder. Therefore, it is hard to evaluate the air leakage during endurance test, and guarantee the reliability of the conventional measurement method. In this paper, a new method for air leakage measurement using isothermal chamber, which does not requires calibration or temperature compensation, and, can measure air leakage accurately with quite simple operations, is proposed. As a result, reliability of air leakage measurement can be improved because the proposed method does not have to separate the testing cylinder from the endurance test device for air leakage measurement. The effectiveness of the proposed method is proved by error analysis of leak measurement from experimental result.

  • Several ways for monitoring the soundness of ZnO lightning arresters have been suggested, and all of which are based on the measurement of leakage current since it is well known that the resistive leakage current is a main indicator of arrester deterioration. In this paper, we proposed an algorithm to measure the resistive leakage current, which is quite different from the conventional method that eliminates capacitive current from the total leakage current. The proposed algorithm is based on that the magnitudes of the resistive leakage current are equal at the same applied voltage levels. To confirm the reliability of the algorithm, we fabricated a leakage current detector and designed an analysis program. Experimental results showed that the method does not need a complex circuitry and is useful to analyze the resistive leakage current.

  • In this study, the purpose is to verified the feasibility to develope Hybrid x-ray detector in order to resolve problems of direct and indirect x-ray detectors. The properties of X-ray detector depend on absorption of X-ray, charge generation by x-ray photon, leakage current. In this study, CdS was used as photoconductor, and $Y_2O_2S:Tb$ as x-ray phosphor was formed on CdS in order to embody Hybrid structure. And Screen printing was used to form Muli-layer. Characteristics of this specimen were analyzed by using SEM, and XRD. And Photoluminescence spectrum of $Y_2O_2S:Tb$, leakage current, with respect to applied voltages, output charge with respect to applied voltages, and X-ray sensitivity were measured. Also, linearity with respect to dose was measured. Leakage current was similar with direct digital x-ray detector, but sensitivity of the hybrid structure is much better than the single-layer structure.
