We have proposed a new configuration for the improvement of neutron yield without the application of external ion sources in an inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) device. The application of a double grid cathode to the IEC device is expected to generate a higher ion current than a single grid cathode. This paper verifies the effect of the double grid cathode by both fluid and particle simulation. Through the fluid simulation the optimal shape and applied voltage of the double grid cathode is determined, and through the particle simulation the usefulness of that is confirmed.

We have proposed a new configuration on the cathode structure to improve a neutron yield without the application of external ion sources in an inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) device. A neutron yield in the IEC device is closely related to the potential well structure generated inside the cathode and is proportional to the ion current. Therefore, the application of a double grid cathode structure to the IEC device is expected to produce a higher ion current and neutron yield than at a single grid cathode due to a high electric field strength generated around the cathode. These possibilities were verified as compared with the ion current calculated from both shape of the single and double grid cathode. Additionally from the results of ion's lives and trajectories examined at various outer cathode voltages and grid cathode configurations by using particle simulations, the validity of the double grid cathode was confirmed.

In this study, the field emission display with carbon nanotube emitter is developed for the large size HDTV application. Two structures for electron beam focusing are developed on the typical top-gate cathode. The metal grid and focusing gate structure are proved to be effective for the focusing. The data switching voltage for the double gate structure is lower than 30V which is competitive value in respect of the cost for driver electronics. The brightness and color gamut are comparable to those of the commercial product such as CRT.

플라즈마 연구 및 응용에서 플라즈마를 구성하는 이온에 대한 정보를 얻는 것은 중요하다. 특히 플라즈마 진단, 박막 증착, 플라즈마 코팅, 플라즈마 이온주입 등과 같은 플라즈마 프로세싱에서 이온들의 종류 구성비율 및 분포는 매우 중요하다. 질량분석기는 대개 큰 규모로 복잡하고 값비싼 경향이 있다. 플라즈마 교란을 최소화하면서 충분한 질량분해능을 갖고 국소적으로 이온들을 분석할 수 있는 간단하고 작은 규모의 값싼 질량분석기가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 플라즈마 내에 존재하는 이온을 분석하기 위하여 간단하고 작은 규모의 값싼 프라즈마 이온 질량분석기를 설계, 제작하였다. 이온 질량분석기는 ion extraction part, double focusing sector magnet, ion collector로 구성되어 있다. 플라즈마에 잠기는 ion extraction part의 외부 전극에 Al2O3를 코팅하여 플라즈마 교란을 최소화하였다. 이온들의 공간적 분포를 측정하기 쉽게 하기 위하여 ion extraction part를 이동하여도 질량여과기를 통과한 후에 접속되는 초점의 위치가 Faraday ion collector 에 고정되도록 ion optical system을 설계하였다. Extracting electrode에 의하여 가속된 이온들이 sector magnet에 들어갈 때 평행이 되게 하기 위하여 여러 개의 미세구조를 갖는 Mo grids를 사용하고 immersion lens를 넣어서 이온 광학 시스템을 구성하였다. extraction electrode와 sector magnet 사이에 보조 electrode를 하나 더 넣어서 extracting electrode와 보조 electrode 사이에 immersion lens를 만들었다. 질량여과기로는 permanent magnet sector와 time-varying electrical field를 결합하여 사용하였다. Extracting electrode에 1kV 정도의 전압을 인가하여 이온들을 가속시키고 sector magnet에 톱니파 형태의 전압을 인가하여 mass spectrum을 얻었다. 이온 질량분석기를 플라즈마 장치에 적용하여 질량분해능 등의 특성을 연구하였다. Hot cathode discharge와 inductively coupled RF discharge에서 발생된 질소 플라즈마를 구성하는 이온들의 종류와 그 구성비율을 연구하였다.

Recently, demand for high energy density and long cycling stability of energy storage system has increased for application using with frequency regulation (F/R) in power grid. Supercapacitor have long lifetime and high charge and discharge rate, it is very adaptable to apply a frequency regulation in power grid. Supercapacitor can complement batteries to reduce the size and installation of batteries. Because their utilization in a system can potentially eliminate the need for short-term frequent replacement as required by batteries, hence, saving the resources invested in the upkeep of the whole system or extension of lifecycle of batteries in the long run of power grid. However, low energy density in supercapacitor is critical weakness to utilization for huge energy storage system of power grid. So, it is still far from being able to replace batteries and struggle in meeting the demand for a high energy density. But, today, LIC (Lithium Ion Capacitor) considered as an attractive structure to improve energy density much more than EDLC (Electric double layer capacitor) because LIC has high voltage range up to 3.8 V. But, many aspects of the electrochemical performance of LIC still need to be examined closely in order to apply for commercial use. In this study, in order to improve the capacitance of LIC related with energy density, we designed new method of pre-doping in anode electrode. The electrode in cathode were fabricated in dry room which has a relative humidity under 0.1% and constant electrode thickness over $100{\mu}m$ was manufactured for stable mechanical strength and anode doping. To minimize of contact resistance, fabricated electrode was conducted hot compression process from room temperature to $65^{\circ}C$. We designed various pre-doping method for LIC structure and analyzing the doping mechanism issues. Finally, we suggest new pre-doping method to improve the capacitance and electrochemical stability for LIC.
