  • We study the two storm events of 1997: one in May that was accompanied by a relativistic electron event (REE) and the other in September, with a more profound Dst decrease, but with no significant flux increase of relativistic electrons. We find that a larger amount of seed electrons was present in the May event compared to that of the September storm, whereas the ULF (ultra low frequency) power was more enhanced and the particle spectrum was harder in the September event. Hence, we demonstrate that a larger storm does not necessarily produce more seed electrons and that the amount of seed electrons is an important factor in an actual increase in REE flux levels, while ULF can harden the particle spectra without causing an apparent REE.

  • 양성자나 알파입자와 같은 무거운 하전입자가 매질 속을 진행하는 경우에 매질과 상호작용 하여 일어날 수 있는 물리적인 현상을 알아보기 위하여 몬테칼로 기법을 이용하여 시뮬레이션 하였다. 양성자선의 Bragg peak가 에너지의 증가에 따라 물 속에서 깊어짐을 확인하였다. 이러한 Bragg peak 현상을 방사선치료에 이용할 경우에 표적 조직의 흡수선량이 광자와 전자선에 비하여 국소화 되고 주변조직의 보호효과가 탁월함을 알 수 있었다.

  • Gallium nitride (GaN) nanoparticles are synthesized by the gallium particle trapping effect in a $N_2$ nonthermal plasma with metallic Ga vapor. A proposed method has an advantage of synthesized GaN nanoparticle purity because the gallium vapor from the inductively heated tungsten boat does not contain any impurity source. The synthesized particle size can be controlled by the amount of Ga vapor, which is adjusted using the plasma emission ratio of nitrogen to gallium, owing to the particle trapping effect. The synthesized nanoparticles are investigated by electron microscopy studies. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) studies confirm that the synthesized GaN nanoparticles (10-40 nm) crystallize in a single-phase wurtzite structure. Room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) measurements indicate the band-edge emission of GaN at around 378 nm without yellow emission, which implies that the synthesized GaN nanoparticles have high crystallinity.

  • We have developed a scheduling system for heavy ion radiotherapy considering the condition of three treatment rooms and treatment planning for each patient. This system consists of a database (patient information, treatment method and machine schedule), a schedule for radiotherapy and WEB server. All operation of this system, such as data input, to change and to view the schedule, are performed by using a WEB browser. In order to protect personal information for the patients, access privilege to each information are limited by according to the occupational category. This system is connected with a hospital central information management system (AMIDAS) and an irradiation-managing computer for the heavy ion radiotherapy. A basic information for the patient is got from AMIDAS and the daily schedule sends to the treatment control computer at each treatment room through the irradiation-managing computer every morning. The daily, weekly, monthly schedules in the treatment room and the treatment condition of each patient are shared on the WEB browser with the all participants of the heavy ion therapy. This system could be useful to save a time to generate a treatment schedule and to inform us the most up-to-date treatment schedule and the related information at the same time.

  • 최근 GPGPU를 이용하여 저하된 컴퓨터 성능 향상폭을 높일 수 있게 되었고, 이로 인하여 높은 연산을 요구로 하는 물리 기반의 실시간 시뮬레이션을 PC에서 구동할 수 있게 되었다. 물리 시뮬레이션에서 적용되는 물리 계산은 병렬 처리로 수행되어질 수 있으며, 최근 OpenGL 4.3 및 Unity4.0에서 지원되는 Compute shader를 통한 병렬 연산을 이용하면 효율적으로 구동할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 플랫폼을 지원하는 디지털 콘텐츠 제작 툴인 Unity와 다양한 플랫폼에서 구동되어지는 OpenGL에서의 실시간 물리 시뮬레이션에서의 성능을 측정 및 비교한다. 본 논문에서 particle 시뮬레이션의 실험 결과 Unity를 이용한 particle 시뮬레이션이 OpenGL을 이용한 particle 시뮬레이션에 비해 최대 136.04% 빠른 성능을 보인다. 이를 통하여 추후 멀티 플랫폼을 지원하는 디지털 콘텐츠를 제작함에 있어 더 나은 개발 도구를 선정할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • This study aims to provide microstructural characterization for the matrix graphite which molten salt reactors (MSRs) use, and improve resistance to molten salt infiltration of the matrix graphite for fuel elements. Mesocarbon microbeads (MCMB) densified matrix graphite A3-3 (MDG) was prepared by a quasi-isostatic pressure process. After densification by MCMBs with average particle sizes of 2, 10, and 16 ㎛, the pore diameter of A3-3 decreased from 924 nm to 484 nm, 532 nm, and 778 nm, respectively. Through scanning electron microscopy, the cross-section energy spectrum and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry, resistance levels of the matrix graphite to molten salt infiltration were analyzed. The results demonstrate that adding a certain proportion of MCMB powders can improve the anti-infiltration ability of A3-3. Meanwhile, the closer the particle size of MCMB is to the pore diameter of A3-3, the smaller the average pore diameter of MDG and the greater the densification. As a matrix graphite of fuel elements in MSR was involved, the thermal and mechanical properties of matrix graphite MDG were also studied. When densified by the MCMB matrix graphite, MDGs can meet the molten salt anti-infiltration requirements for MSR operation.

  • 입자 물리 방사선 연구는 우리 일상생활의 많은 부분에 도움을 주고 있다. 비파괴검사를 가능하게 하여 우리가 사용하는 물건의 안전성을 검증하고, 사람에게 유해한 환경을 판단하고, 사람의 질병을 치료하는 등 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 이와 같이 입자 물리 방사선 연구는 유용하지만 직접적인 실험을 하기가 어려워 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 이용한다. 그 중 현재 대표적인 입자 물리 시뮬레이션 라이브러리 중 하나가 Geant4이다. 그러나 Geant4는 시뮬레이션을 하기 위해 사용자가 직접 C++언어를 통하여 프로그램을 작성해야 하는 어려움이 있다. 이 어려움을 해결하기 위해 물리연구자의 요구사항을 분석하여 Geant4 에 맞는 시뮬레이션 환경을 생성하는 시뮬레이션 자동화 프레임워크인 Geant4Editor를 설계하였다. Geant4Editor는 자원 관리자(Data Manager)를 통하여 자원(사용자 생성 데이터)을 효율적으로 관리하며, 시뮬레이션에서 필요한 필수 클래스를 사용자의 요구를 반영하여 자동으로 생성한다.

  • The electrostatic interaction between emerging quantum-confined nanostructures with plasmonic structures is crucial for future biological applications. Water-soluble green fluorescent copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) were fabricated. We demonstrate that L-ascorbic acid is considered as a key to precisely control small Cu-NPs and the capability of the surface ligands, while cetyltrimethylammonium bromide is used as a stabilizing agent controls the particle growth, and stabilizes the nanoparticles. Water-soluble green fluorescent Cu-NPs are tunable through modification of the reaction periods.
