The pressure distributions in the test stand built for developing KSTAR NBI ion sources were obtained using a network system composed of conductance elements modeling the ion source, the neutralizer, and other beam line components. The allowable regime was defined on the coordinates of the gas supply rate to the ion source and the neutralizer, considering the proper conditions of the three critical parameters, the ion source pressure for good arc discharge, the pressure integral in the neutralizer for sufficient neutralization, and the chamber pressure for minimum neutral beam loss. The neutral beam evolution along the path from the ion source extraction grid to the calorimeter through the neutralizer, the bending magnet and the vacuum chamber was estimated for typical pressure distributions.

Two dimensional electrostatic model was used to investigate the interactions between beam electron and neutral plasma. It was found that results heavily depend on the beam density. When the beam electron density is lower than the ambient plasma beam density, many beam electrons exhibit vortex structure through beam-plasma interactions and can propagate into the ambient plasma easily from the injection area. On the other hand, when the beam density larget than that of the neutral ambient plasma, it was found that most of the beam electrons constitute return current and ion with much larger mass than that of the electron can be accelerated according to the magnetic field strength. Furthermore, as external field strength varies, it was found that propagation and interaction of the beam can show large dependence on it.

In this experiment, MgO thin films were deposited by oxygen neutral beam assisted deposition (NBAD) method. The results show that neutral beam energy plays an important role in the surface morphology, crystal orientation, defects of MgO thin films, and discharge characteristics of AC PDP.

low angle forward reflected neutral beam etching system으로 식각한 후 SIMS depth profile을 이용하여 에너지 침투 깊이에 따른 중성빔 에너지를 분석하여 중성화 과정에서 에너지와 flux의 손실이 있었다. 기존의 two-grid 대신에 three-grid를 사용하여 에너지의 변화없이 이온 flux 및 중성빔 flux가 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

The effects of argon neutral beam (NB) energy on the amorphous carbon (a-C) films were investigated, while the a-C films were deposited by neutral particle beam assisted sputtering (NBAS) system. The deposition characteristics of these films were studied as a function of NB energy (or reflector bias voltage). The film structures were investigated by Raman spectroscopy. The hardness was measured by nano-indentation tests and the optical band gap was measured by UV-visible spectroscopy.

A tomography algorithm to maximize the entropy of image using Lagrangian multiplier technique and conjugate gradient method has been designed for the measurement of 2D spatial distribution of intense neutral beams of KSTAR NBI(Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research Neutral Beam Injector) which is now being designed. A possible detection system was assumed and a numerical simulation has been implemented to test the reconstruction quality of given beam profiles. This algorithm has the good applicability for sparse projection data and thus, can be used for the neutral beam tomography.

A neutral beam system has been developed to produce hyperthermal neutral beams composed of indium, tin, and oxygen atoms. Using these hyper thermal neutral beams with energies in the range of tens of eV, high quality indium-tin oxide (ITO) thin films have been obtained on glass substrates at room temperature. The optical transmittance of the films is higher than 85% at a wavelength of 550 nm and the electrical resistivity is lower than $1{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$.

A multi-megawatt long pulse ion source (LPIS) of neutral beam injector was developed for the KSTAR. Beam extraction experiments of the LPIS were carried out at the neutral beam test stand (NBTS). Design requirements for the ion source were 120 kV/65 A deuterium beam and a 300 s pulse length. A maximum ion density of $9.1310^{11}$ $cm^{-3}$ was measured by using electric probes, and an optimum arc efficiency of 0.46 A/kW was estimated with ion saturation current of the probes, arc power, and total beam area. An arcing problem, caused by the structural defect of decelerating grid supporter, in the third gap was solved by the blocking of backstream ion particles, originated from the plasma in the neutralizer duct, through the unnecessary spaces on the side of grid supporter. A maximum drain power of 1.5 MW (i.e. 70 kV/21 A) with hydrogen was measured for a pulse duration of 0.5 s. Optimum beam perveance was ranged from 0.75 to 0.85. An improved design of accelerator for the effective control of beam particle trajectory should provide higher beam perveance.

To investigate the flexural stiffness of the steel-composite beam, the contributions of the concrete slab and steel beam to the stiffness were considered separately. The method for flexural stiffness of the composite beam, considering the stiffness of the concrete slab and steel beam, was proposed in this paper. In addition, finite element models of the composite beams were established and validated. Parametric analyses were carried out to study the effects of different parameters on the neutral axis distance reduction factors of the concrete slab and steel beam. Afterward, the neutral axis distance reduction factors were fitted, and the stiffness combination coefficients of the two parts were solved. Based on the stiffness combination coefficients, the flexural stiffness of the composite beam can be obtained. The proposed method was validated by the tested and analyzed results. The method has a simple form and high accuracy in predicting the flexural stiffness of the steel-concrete composite beam, even though the degree of shear connection is less than 0.5.

본 연구에서는 실리콘 기판위의 형성된 AAO (Anodic Aluminum Oxide)의 barrier layer를 $Cl_2/BCl_3$ gas mixture에서 Neutral Beam Etching (NBE)과 Ion Beam Etching (IBE)로 각각 식각한 후 그 결과를 비교하였다. 이온빔의 경우 나노사이즈의 AAO pore의 charging에 의해 pore 아래쪽의 위치한 barrier layer를 어떤 식각조건에서도 제거하지 못하였다. 하지만, charging effect가 없고, 높은 중성화율을 나타내는 low angle forward reflected 방식의 neutral beam etching (NBE)에서는 $BCl_3$-rich $Cl_2/BCl_3$ gas mixture인 식각조건에서 AAO pore에 휘발성 $BO_xCl_y$를 형성하면서 barrier layer를 제거할 수 있었다.
