  • This paper presents a laboratory experiment on data acquisition technique that applied to the gamma radiation scanning coupled with computed tomography (CT) technique for inspection of broken nozzle inside the vertical vessel. The acquisition technique was developed to inspect a large diameter vessel when suspicious problem location is not easily accessed. This technique allows the installation of gamma radiation source (Cesium 137, Cs-137), and detectors (Sodium Iodine. NaI(Tl)) from the accessible location to the required location and performs the scanning by designed pattern. To demonstrate the designed technique, top opened tank which installed with six cut steel pipes diameter of 76.2 mm (3") at a certain position was selected. They were assumed to be a gas riser pipes inside the vessel. Three studied cases were performed, (a) projection of well installed six pipes, (b) projection of one out of six broken pipe and (c) one of nozzle was assumed to be failure and fell down until one out of six pipes was broken and obstructed by nozzle. Results clearly indicated the capability of developed technique to distinguish between normal situation case and abnormal situation cases.

  • Background: Bovine and porcine teeth are often used in in vitro experiments as substitutes of human teeth. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to perform a comparative analysis of enamel morphology of permanent human, bovine and porcine teeth under the scanning electron microscope. Methods: As many as 10 human, 10 bovine, and 10 porcine teeth were studied. All the teeth were sectioned and the halves were randomly divided into 2 groups according to the examined tissue (vestibular enamel at the mid-height of the dental crown and in the cervical area). Human and bovine enamel was etched for 15 sec and porcine enamel for 30 sec. The scanning electron microscope analysis was performed. The length and width of enamel prisms were determined with the "Met-Ilo" 1.1 computer program. Results: All enamel samples revealed the same etching pattern-Silverstone's type 2. Bovine enamel showed a similar porosity and the amount of interprismatic enamel compared to human enamel while the amount and width of interprismatic enamel bands in porcine enamel were evidently greater. The shape of the porcine prisms was visually similar to human prisms, although dimensions were significantly different. However, bovine prisms differed in form and appeared to be distinctly elongated. Conclusions: Reported findings indicate that the results of experimental studies carried out on bovine and porcine enamel should not be compared with the results obtained on human enamel.

  • Laser scanning system using a hologram is simpler in optical system, lower in cost than using a polygon. In this paper, a thick hologram is fabricated for the underfilled transmission disk type with a merit of wabble insensitivity to vibration. High diffraction efficiency over 50% is obtained using silver halide recording material. The two-dimensional scan pattern with 13 scan-line is made by 7-facet hologon and mirror system. This system can be practically applied to POS(Point of Sale) bar-code symbol reader.

  • In this work a scanning capacitance microscopy(SCaM) by stage driving is proposed and presented some of the experimental results.SCaM is a microscope which scans a surface of materials mechanically in two or two point five dimensions by a capacitance probe with a few tenth $\mu\textrm{m}$ ize tip, and display images of the surface shape or capacitive distribution. The present target of the SCaM is 0.1$\mu\textrm{m}$ resolution power which exceeds that of optical microscope. This will become a powerful tool for inspecting ULSI pattern etched by X-ray biological data etc. The experimental system is composed based on a VHD video disk which captures the capacitance changes of the video disk surface and converts it into video signal.

  • Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) formed by the adsorption of alkanethiols, $HS(CH_2)_nX$, where X is an organic functional group, onto gold surfaces have attracted widespread interest as templates for the fabrication of molecular and biomolecular microstructures. Previously photopatterning has been thought of as being restricted to the micron scale, because of the wellknown diffraction limit. So, we have explored a novel approach to nanofabrication by utilizing a femtosecond laser coupled to a near-field scanning optical microscope (NSOM).

  • NASA, NSF and USGS jointly conducted a LIDAR survey over several sites in the Antarctic Dry Valleys and its vicinity, acquiring numerous surface points by NASA's Airborne Topographic Mapper (ATM) conical laser scanning altimetry system. The data set have high blunder ratio, and the conical scanning pattern resulted large variation of the point densities. Hence, to reduce the undesirable effects due to these characteristics and process the huge number of points with reasonable time and resources, we developed a novel approach to generate large-scale and high-resolution DEMs in robust, efficient and nearly automatic manners. Based on this approach we produced DEMs and then verified them with reference data.

  • The formation of striped phases of unsymmetric hexyl octadecyl disulfide ($CH_3(CH_2)_5SS(CH_2)_{17}CH_3$, HOD) and 1-hydroxyundecyl octadecyl disulfide ($CH_3(CH_2)_{17}SS(CH_2)_{11}$OH, HUOD) on Au(111) and graphite has been investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to understand the self-assembly processes of dialkyl disulfides. STM imaging clearly shows the formation of striped phases having corrugation periodicities that are nearly consistent with the molecular length of alkanethiolate moieties formed after the S-S bond cleavage of dialkyl disulfide on a gold surface. On the other hand, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of dialkyl disulfides on a graphite surface displayed long-range, well-ordered monolayers with one striped pattern that shows periodicity as a function of molecular length via nondissociative adsorption. From a nonoscopic viewpoint, we have clearly demonstrated that dialkyl disulfide SAMs on gold form via S-S bond cleavage of disulfide.

  • 주사탐침현미경 (Scanning Probe Microsope, SPM)을 이용하여 직접 패터닝을 함으로써 hexanedithiol 분자의 임의 패턴을 금 표면에 형성하였다. 또한, hexanedithiol 분자는 양단에 thiol 그룹이 존재하여 금과 안정화 화학결합을 이룰 수 있으므로, 금 표면과결합을 이루고 있지 않는 상단의 thiol 그룹에 금 나노 입자를 고정함으로써 나노입자의 패턴을 제작하였다. SPM을 이용한 직접 패터닝 방법은 분자활성을 유지한 채로 임의 패턴을 수십 nm의 선폭으로 구현하는 것이 가능하므로, 나노입자 배열뿐만 아니라, 생화학물질의 패터닝을 통한 바이오 기술연구, 레지스트용 분자 패터닝과 시각 및 흡착 등의 계속적인 공정을 통한 다양한 나노구조 제작 등에 폭넓게 활용될 수 있다.

  • In this study, we developed FE-tip lithography system that could apply to multi-tip system and did lithography using FE-tip. The software that control FE-tip lithography system, was proposed for acquiring more adaptive data to compensate the effect of fluctuation. We found that the fluctuation effect was reduced. The minimum line width was related to applied voltage and we observed a movement of Z-axis piezo stage to correct the error of this system. When FE current was 5nA, scanning speed was $3{\mu}m/sec$ and applied voltage was 200V, we made a line pattern which had minimum line width of 614 nm. If we reduce applied voltage to several decades and increase scanning speed to $20{\mu}m/sec$, it is possible to set the minimum line width of 100 nm. The proposed system can be easily applied to multi FE-tip lithography system.

  • $CeO_2$ nanorings were synthesized by using a surfactant free hydrothermal method. The surface morphology, structural and optical properties of the synthesized $CeO_2$ was investigated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and ultraviolet-visible (UV) spectroscopy measurements. SEM images showed that the surface morphology of the formed $CeO_2$ appeared as nanorings. The XRD pattern of $CeO_2$ nanorings showed the presence of the polycrystalline $CeO_2$ phase readily indexed to the cubic fluorite structure of the $CeO_2$. The mean crystallite size of the $CeO_2$ was calculated using the Scherrer equation from the XRD line broadening of the (111) planes of the cubic $CeO_2$. The UV-Visible spectroscopy spectrum of the $CeO_2$ nanorings exhibited a strong UV absorption band around 350 nm.
