지구 자기권에 존재하는 플라즈마 입자의 다중관측을 목적으로 개발된 초소형 탑재체 STEIN (SupraThermal Electron, Ion, Neutral) 은 경희대학교와 UC Berkeley가 공동으로 개발 중인 3대의 초소형 과학위성 TRIO-CINEMA (TRiplet Ionosphere Observatory - Cubesat for Ion, Neutral, Electron and MAgnetic fields) 에 탑재될 입자 검출기이다. 32개의 픽셀로 이루어진 STEIN 검출기는 2~300 keV의 전자, 4~300 keV의 이온과 중성입자(Energetic Neutral Atom: ENA) 를 분리 계측할 목적으로 설계되었으며, 하전입자가 정전장 편향기를 통과하여 서로 다른 검출기 픽셀에 도달함으로써 전자와 이온, 중성입자를 분리하여 계측할 수 있도록 하였다. 한편, STEIN 구조물에서 발생한 2차 입자의 검출을 방지하기 위해 정전 편향기 사이에 차단날(blade)을 설계하였다. 본 연구에서는 STEIN 모의실험 예비 결과로써 전기장에 크기 및 차단날에 의한 하전입자의 궤적과 이에 따른 분리 계측 성능을 알아보고자 Geant4 (GEometry ANd Tracking)를 사용하여 검출기 픽셀에 입사하는 전자의 초기 위치를 분석하였다. 전자의 입사 위치는 검출기로부터 5 cm 전방에서 6 mm * 20 mm 범위 내에서 무작위로 생성하여 검출기의 방향으로 수직 입사하였다. 분석 결과 전자들은 전기장의 방향에 따라 편향되는 결과를 보였으며, 저에너지 전자는 강한 전기장의 영향으로 차단날에 의해 차폐되어 검출되지 않았다. 따라서 전기장의 크기와 차단날에 따른 입자 분리 검출이 가능함을 본 모의실험을 통해 확인하였으며, STEIN 운용 시 입자 분리 검출 및 결과 분석 기반으로 본 연구 결과를 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The alloying effects on the electronic structures of Zinc are investigated using the relativistic $DV-X{\alpha}molecular$ orbital method in order to obtain useful information for alloy design. A new parameter which is the d obital energy level(Md) and the bonder order(Bo) of alloying elements in Zinc was introduced and used for prediction of the mechanical properties. The Md correlated with the atomic radius and the electronegativity of elements. The Bo is a measure of the strength of the covalent bond between M and X atoms. First-principles calculations of electronic structures were performed with a series of models composed of a MZn18 cluster and the electronic states were calculated by the discrete variational- $X{\alpha}method$ by using the program code SCAT. The central Zinc atom(M) in the cluster was replaced by various alloying elements. In this study energy level structures of pure Zinc and alloyed Zinc were calculated. From calculated results of energy level structures in MZn18 cluster, We found Md and Bo values for various elements of Zn. In this work, Md and Bo values correlated to the tensile strength for the Zn. These results will give some guide to design of zinc based alloys for high temperature applications and it is possible the excellent alloys design.

Energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) are emitted by charge exchange collisions between energetic ions and cold neutral atoms. ENAs can be used as an alternative measure of the energetic ions in the source region because they maintain the energy and pitch angle of the source energetic ions. In the present study we present simulation results of the ENA emissions during a magnetic storm to be measured by the STEIN instrument onboard the CINEMA/TRIO satellites. The CINEMA/TRIO mission consists of three identical cubesats with low-altitude orbits. The STEIN instrument onboard each cubesat can measure ENAs with energies from ~4 keV to ~20 keV as well as suprathermal electrons and ions. The measurement of ENA emissions from ring current by STEIN is simulated using the models for energetic ring current ions and geocoronal neutral atoms. Especially we will discuss about the energy spectrum of the ENAs and the effect of transient variations of the ring current.

A pulsed laser ablation deposition (PLAD) technique is an excellent method for the fabrication of amorphous carbon (a-C) films. This paper was focused on the understanding and analysis of the motion of carbon atom (C) and carbon ion ($C^+$) particles in laser ablation assisted by Ar plasmas. The simulation has carried out under the pressure P=10~100 mTorr of Ar plasmas. Two-dimensional hybrid model consisting of fluid and Monte-Carlo models was developed and three kinds of the ablated particles which are C, $C^+$ and electron were considered in the calculation of particle method. The motions of energetic $C^+$ and C deposited upon the substrate were investigated and compared.

Single phase $CuInS_2$ thin film with a highest diffraction peak (112) at a diffraction angle ($2\Theta$) of $27.7^{\circ}$ was well made by SEL method at annealing temperature of $250^{\circ}C$ and annealing hour of 60 min in vacuum of $10^{-3}$ Torr or in S ambience for an hour. And the peak of diffraction intensity at miller index (112) of $CuInS_2$ thin film annealed in S ambience was shown a little higher about 11 % than in only vacuum. Single phase $CuInS_2$ thin films were appeared from 0.85 to 1.26 of Cu/In composition ratio and sulfur composition ratios of $CuInS_2$ thin films fabricated in S ambience were all over 50 atom%. Also when $CuInS_2$ composition ratio was 1.03, $CuInS_2$ thin film with chalcopyrite structure had the highest XRD peak (112). The largest lattice constant of a and grain size of $CuInS_2$ thin film in S ambience was 5.63 ${\AA}$ and 1.2 ${\mu}m$ respectively. And the films in S ambience were all p-conduction type with resistivities of around $10^{-1}{\Omega}cm$.

Mercury-free lamp, external electrode fluorescent lamp (EEFL) which includes the xenon gas, is now going on the research for the replacement of mercury lamp. The densities of excited xenon atom in the $1s_4$ resonance state and the $1s_5$ metastable state are investigated in the EEFL by a laser absorption spectroscopy under various gas pressures. We have measured the absorption signals for both $1s_4$ resonance and the $1s_5$ metastable state in the EEFL by varying the discharge currents for a given pressure. This basic absorption characteristic is very important for improvement of the VUV luminous efficiency of the EEFL as well as plasma display panel.

The surface phonon is defined as a coherent vibrational excitation of surface atoms propagating along the surface. It is characterized by a phonon dispersion curves, which were extensively studied in 1990's using helium atom scattering and high-resolution electron-energy-loss spectroscopy (HREELS)[1].The understanding is mainly based on the theoretical framework of a classical bond model or cluster calculations. The recent sample preparation and first principles calculations open the naval way to deep insight for surface phonon problems. The surface phonon dispersion on the hydrogen-terminated Si(111)-($1{\times}1$) surface [H:Si(111)] is the typical system and already reported experimentally [2] and theoretically [3], although the understandingis incomplete. The sample contaminated by the oxygen atoms on the surface and the calculations were also classical. In this study, firstly, we have prepared an ultra-clean H:Si(111) surface [4] and measured the surface phonon dispersion curvesusing HREELS. Secondly, we have performed first-principles density functional calculations with the projector augmented wave functionals, as implemented in VASP, using generalized gradient approximations. We used aslab of six silicon layers and both top and bottom surfaces were terminated with hydrogen atoms. Finally, we have compared with the surface phonon dispersion of deuterium-terminatedSi(111)-($1{\times}1$) surface[5] and led to our conclusions. The Si-H stretching and the bending modes are observed at 258.5 and 78.2 meV, respectively. These energies are the same as the previously reported values [2], but the energy-loss peaks at the lower energy regions are dramatically shifted. Through this combination study, we have formulated the procedure of preparing ultra-clean H:Si(111)/D:Si(111), which was confirmed by HREELS vibrational analysis. The Si surface will be utilized for further nano-physics research as well as for the materials for nano-fubrication.

New ferrocene-based chelate amines, $Fe[C_5H_4CH(Me)NMe_2]_2\;(3), \;Fe[C_5H-3(CH(Me)NMe_2)(PPh_2)-1,2]_2\;(4),\;(C_5H_5)Fe(C_5H_3(CH_2NMe_2)(CH(CN)NMe_2-1,2)\;(6),\;and\;(C_5H_5)Fe(C_5H_3(CH_2NMe_2)(CH(Me)NMe_2-1,2)$ (7) have been prepared. The reaction and the coordination chemistry of 4 and other related compounds (S,R)-(1-N,N-dimethylaminoethyl)-2-dicyclohexylphosphino)ferrocene (CPFA) and 1,1'-bis-(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (BPPF) with $Rh_2(OAc)_4(MeOH)_2$ were investigated. The reaction of the chiral ligand (S,R)-CPFA forms a complex of the type (${\eta}^1$-(S,R)-CPFA-P)$_2Rh_2(OAc)_4$ (8) in which the ligand is coordinated to both rhodium centers in a monodentate fashion through phosphorus. In contrast, the bisphosphine analogues such as BPPF and 4 afford chelate complexes of the type (${\eta}^2-PP)Rh_2(OAc)_4$ (9 & 10) where both ligands act as a chelate bidentate to a single rhodium atom. All these complexes were characterized by microanalytical and spectroscopic techniques. In one case, the structure of 8 was determined by X-ray crystallography. Crystals are monoclinic, space group C2 (No. 5), with a=26.389 (3), b=12.942 (1), c=11.825 (1) A, ${\beta}$=111.22(1)$^{\circ}$, V=3964.7 (8) $A^3$, Z=4, and $D_{calc}$=1.58 g $cm^{-3}$. Two Rh(II) centers are bridged by four $AcO^-$ groups in the ${\eta}^1$ : ${\eta}^1$ mode across a Rh-Rh single bond, and octahedral coordination at Rh(1) and Rh(1') is completed by axially coordinating (S,R)-CPFA and a briding $AcO^-$, respectively.

We obtained the new complexes, $Fe{\eta}^4-R,R'-TPSCp](CO)_3$(R,R'-TPSCp = 1,1-disubstituted 2,3,4,5-Tetraphenyl-1-Silacyclopenta-2,4-diene; R = Ph, R' = Cl, R = R' = Cl) from the reaction of the corresponding R,R'-TPSCp with ironpentacarbonyl under reflux in toluene. Also, the analogous complexes with R = R' = Me and R = Me, R' = Cl were obtained in an identical manner. We have determined the crystal structure of $Fe[Ph(Cl)-TPSCp](CO_)3$ by using Mo ka, ${\lambda}$ = 0.71069${\AA}$, where the unit cell was found to be monoclinic with a = 9.042 (6)${\AA}$, b = 19.870 (9)${\AA}$, c = 17.426 (9)${\AA}$ and ${\beta}$ = 96.28(4)$^{\circ}$. The butadiene moiety of TPSCp ring is planar and the dihedral angle of the butadiene plane and C4-Si-C25 plane was opened up to 41.8$^{\circ}$. The C-C distances in the butadiene moiety were found to be 1.4346, 1.462, and 1.440 ${\AA}$, respectively. It may be said that the four ${\pi}$-electrons are delocalized over the four carbons in five membered ring through coordination with ironcarbonyl. In this complex Fe is either in distorted tetrahedron environment with the centroid of the four C-atom butadiene moiety and three carbons of the three carbonyls or in distorted square-pyramidal environment with two midpoints of double bonds of the butadiene moiety and two carbons of carbonyl defining the base of the pyramid and the carbon of remaining carbonyl the apex.

A first-principle approach within the framework of density functional theory was employed to study the effect of vacancy defects and fission products (FPs) doping on the mechanical, electronic, and thermodynamic properties of uranium monocarbide (UC). Firstly, the calculated vacancy formation energies confirm that the C vacancy is more stable than the U vacancy. The solution energies indicate that FPs prefer to occupying in U site rather than in C site. Zr, Mo, Th, and Pu atoms tend to directly replace U atom and dissolve into the UC lattice. Besides, the results of the mechanical properties show that U vacancy reduces the compressive and deformation resistance of UC while C vacancy has little effect. The doping of all FPs except He has a repairing effect on the mechanical properties of U_1-xC. In addition, significant modifications are observed in the phonon dispersion curves and partial phonon density of states (PhDOS) of UC_1-x, Zr_xU_1-xC, Mo_xU_1-xC, and Rh_xU_1-xC, including narrow frequency gaps and overlapping phonon modes, which increase the phonon scattering and lead to deterioration of thermal expansion coefficient (α_V) and heat capacity (C_p) of UC predicted by the quasi harmonic approximation (QHA) method.
