  • 마이크로웨이브를 이용한 플라즈마 소스의 경우 동작 압력 범위가 넓고 전자가열이 효율적이며, 낮은 이온에너지를 갖는 고밀도의 플라즈마를 발생시킬 수 있는 장점이 있어 최근 많은 연구가 되고 있다. 그 중에서 본 연구에 이용된 선형 안테나를 사용하는 마이크로웨이브 플라즈마 장치는 구성이 간단하고, 직 병렬 결합을 통해 고효율, 고밀도의 플라즈마 생성이 가능한 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 선형 안테나를 사용하는 마이크로웨이브 플라즈마 소스의 구조에 따른 특성 변화를 2차원 유체 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증하였다. Maxwell's equation, Continuity equation, Electromagnetic wave equation 등을 이용해 동축관의 유전율과 Gap size에 따른 특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 동축 형태의 도파관을 따라 전달되는 Wave의 파장을 조절하도록 구조를 변화시켜 플라즈마 특성의 변화를 관찰하고 분석하였다.

  • The purpose of this study is to enhance an adhesion between substrate and Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) film. DLC has many outstanding properties such as low friction, high wear resistance and corrosion resistance. However, it is difficult to achieve enough adhesion because of weak bonding between DLC film and the substrate. For improvement adhesion, a layer between DLC film and the substrate was prepared by dual post plasma. DLC film was deposited on nitrided layer by linear ion source. The composed compound layer between substrate and DLC film was investigated by Glow Discharge Spectrometer (GDS) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The synthesized bonding structure of DLC film was analyzed using a micro raman spectrometer. Mechanical properties were measured by nano-indentation. In order to clarify the mechanism for improvement in adhesive strength, it was observed by scratch test.

  • The low-temperature Si oxidation kinetics by inductively coupled oxygen plasma has been studied. Linear rate constants had negative values when the oxide growth rate was described by linear-parabolic growth law. The analysis of transverse-optical mode frequencies and etch rates indicated that the density of surface oxide was lower than that of bulk oxide. The oxidation kinetics could be explained qualitatively by assuming a surface layer with larger diffusion coefficient and a bulk layer with smaller diffusion coefficient.

  • A high-performance liquid chromatographic method with fluorometric detection was evaluated for analysis of ofloxacin in plasma. Biological fluids (plasma, $200\;{\mu}L$) were prepared for assay by protein precipitation with chlorofurm. The detection of ofloxacin and triamterene as an internal standard were performed at 358 nm for excitation and 495 nm for emission. The HPLC separation was carried out on Ultrasphere ODS column (4.6 mm${\times}25\;cm,\;5\;{\mu} m$) with acetonitrile $(45\%)$-phosphoric acid $(1.5\%)\;containing\;0.3\%$ sodium laurylsulfate as the mobile phase. The flow-rate was 1.0 mL/min. The calibration graphs were linear from 3.0 to 80 ng/mL with r=0.998. The minimal detectable concentration in plasma was 1.5 ng/mL. The proposed technique is reproducible, selective, reliable and sensitive.

  • Linear sausage oscillations of a cylinder embedded in a plasma with an azimuthal magnetic field, created by a current on the surface of the cylinder, are studied. Such a plasma configuration could be applied to modelling demonstrate that the lowest radial harmonic of the sausage mode is in the trapped regime for all values of the parallel wave number. In the long-wavelength limit, phase and group speeds of this mode are equal to the Alfven speed in the external medium. It makes the oscillation period to be determined by the ratio of the parallel wavelength, e.g., double the length of an oscillating loop, to the external Alfven speed, allowing for its seismological estimations. The application of the results obtained to the interpretation of long-period (longer than 20-30 s) oscillations of emission intensity detected in solar coronal structure, gives reasonable estimations of the external Alfven speed. Cutoff values of the parallel wavenumber for higher radial harmonics are determined analytically. Implications of this finding to the observational signatures of fast magnetoacoustic wave trains guided by the plasma non-uniformity are discussed.

  • Herein, we present a simple, precise, accurate, and ultra-sensitive spectrofluorimetric method for estimation of clozapine (CLZ) in tablets and human plasma was developed and then validated. A highly fluorescent brown-yellowish fluorophore was formed (λex=469 nm, λemi=540 nm) as a nucleophilic substitution reaction occurred between CLZ and 4-chloro-7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD-Cl) in alkaline mcllavine buffer (pH 9.0). Optimum values of experimental parameters were carefully determined and optimized. The calibration curve was rectilinear over the concentration range of 80-900 ng mL-1 with a linear correlation coefficient (r=0.9984). The LOD and LOQ were determined to be 14 ng mL-1 and 42 ng mL-1, respectively. The proposed approach has been used successfully to quantification of Clozapine in its commercial formulations and human plasma.

  • An electron-excited temperature ($T_{ex}$) is not determined by the Boltzmann plots only with the spectral data of $4p{\rightarrow}4s$ in an Ar-plasma jet operated with a low frequency of several tens of kHz and the low voltage of a few kV, while $T_{ex}$ can be obtained at least with the presence of a high energy-level transition ($5p{\rightarrow}4s$) in the high-voltage operation of 8 kV. The optical intensities of most spectra that are measured according to the voltage and the measuring position of the plasma column increase or decay exponentially at the same rate as that of the intensity variation; therefore, the excitation temperature is estimated by comparing the relative optical-intensity to that of a high voltage. In the low-voltage range of an Ar-jet operation, the electron-excitation temperature is estimated as being from 0.61 eV to 0.67 eV, and the corresponding radical density of the Ar-4p state is in the order of $10^{10}{\sim}10^{11}cm^{-3}$. The variation of the excitation temperature is almost linear in relation to the operation voltage and the position of the plasma plume, meaning that the variation rates of the electron-excitation temperature are 0.03 eV/kV for the voltage and 0.075 eV/cm along the plasma plume.

  • Fargesin, a tetrahydrofurofuranoid lignan isolated from Flos Magnoliae, shows anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, anti-allergic, and anti-hypertensive activities. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of fargesin in mice, a sensitive, simple, and selective liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometric method using electrospray ionization and parallel reaction monitoring mode was developed and validated for the quantification of fargesin in mouse plasma. Protein precipitation of 6 µL mouse plasma with methanol was used as sample clean-up procedure. The standard curve was linear over the range of 0.2-500 ng/mL in mouse plasma with the lower limit of quantification level at 0.2 ng/mL. The intra- and inter-day coefficient variations and accuracies for fargesin at four quality control concentrations including were 3.6-11.3% and 90.0-106.6%, respectively. Intravenously injected fargesin disappeared rapidly from the plasma with high clearance values (53.2-55.5 mL/min/kg) at 1, 2, and 4 mg/kg doses. Absolute bioavailability of fargesin was 4.1-9.6% after oral administration of fargesin at doses of 1, 2, and 4 mg/kg to mice.

  • In this paper, design feature and operation characteristics of compact Ruby laser for plasma diagonostics are described. A linear Xe flashlamp and a single elliptical cavity are adopted as optical pumping system. With charging energy of 484J, the maximum output energy of 170mJ, laser pulse width $110{\mu}s$, and slope efficiency 0.09% were obtained. If Q-switch system is added to this laser, we suppose this laser will be quite enough for diagonizing plasma.
