Mg-Zn-Ce계 합금에서 비정질 단상 및 hcp-Mg입자분산형 비정질합금이 20-40%, Zn, 0-10%Ce과 5-20%Zn, 0-5%Ce 의 조성범위에서 각각 생성되었다. 초미세 hcp-Mg입자분산형 Mg85Zn12Ce3비정질합금은 급속응고 또는 급속응고리본의 열처리에 의해 Mg입자의 입경을 4-20nm의 범위로 조절할 수 있었으며, 이 범위에서는 밀착굽힘이 가능할 만큼 충분한 인성을 가지고 있었다. 이 합금의 최대인장강도(σB)와 파단 연신율(εf)은 hcp-Mg입자의 체적분율에 따라서 670-930MPa, 5.2-2.0%의 범위였으며, 최대 비강도(σB밀도 =σs)는 3.6 × 105N · m/kg에 달하였다. 이와 같이 Mg입자분산형 비정질 합금의(σB), (σs)그리고 εf의 최대치가 Mg-Zn-Ce계 비정질합금(690MPa, 2.5 × 105N · m/kg, 2.5%)보다 월등하게 높다는 것은 주목할 만 하다. 복합상 조직이 형성됨으로서 기계적 강도가 증가하는 것은 동일 조성의 비정질상보다 강한 hcp과포화 고용체의 분산강화에 기인하는 것이라고 고찰되었다.

The space radiation dose over air routes including polar routes should be carefully considered, especially when space weather shows sudden disturbances such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), flares, and accompanying solar energetic particle events. We recently established a heliocentric potential (HCP) prediction model for real-time operation of the CARI-6 and CARI-6M programs. Specifically, the HCP value is used as a critical input value in the CARI-6/6M programs, which estimate the aviation route dose based on the effective dose rate. The CARI-6/6M approach is the most widely used technique, and the programs can be obtained from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). However, HCP values are given at a one month delay on the FAA official webpage, which makes it difficult to obtain real-time information on the aviation route dose. In order to overcome this critical limitation regarding the time delay for space weather customers, we developed a HCP prediction model based on sunspot number variations (Hwang et al. 2015). In this paper, we focus on improvements to our HCP prediction model and update it with neutron monitoring data. We found that the most accurate method to derive the HCP value involves (1) real-time daily sunspot assessments, (2) predictions of the daily HCP by our prediction algorithm, and (3) calculations of the resultant daily effective dose rate. Additionally, we also derived the HCP prediction algorithm in this paper by using ground neutron counts. With the compensation stemming from the use of ground neutron count data, the newly developed HCP prediction model was improved.

It is well known that the space radiation dose over the polar route should be carefully considered especially when the space weather shows sudden disturbances such as CME and flares. The National Meteorological Satellite Center (NMSC) and Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) recently established a basis for a space radiation service for the public by developing a space radiation prediction model and heliocentric potential (HCP) prediction model. The HCP value is used as a critical input value of the CARI-6 and CARI-6M programs, which estimate the aviation route dose. The CARI-6/6M is the most widely used and confidential program that is officially provided by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The HCP value is given one month late in the FAA official webpage, making it difficult to obtain real-time information on the aviation route dose. In order to overcome this limitation regarding time delay, we developed a HCP prediction model based on the sunspot number variation. In this paper, we focus on the purpose and process of our HCP prediction model development. Finally, we find the highest correlation coefficient of 0.9 between the monthly sunspot number and the HCP value with an eight month time shift.
