$BaCo_{0.7}Fe_{0.22}Nb_{0.08}O_{3-{\delta}}$ oxide was synthesized by solid state reaction method. Dense ceramic membrane was prepared using as-prepared powder by pressing and sintering at $1,200^{\circ}C$. XRD result of membrane showed single perovskite structure. Leakage and oxygen permeation test were conducted on the membrane sealed by glass ring as a sealing material. The oxygen permeation flux increased with increasing temperature and pressure difference and maximum oxygen permeation flux was $2.3mL/min{\cdot}cm^2$ at $950^{\circ}C$ with $Po_2$ = 0.63 atm of oxygen partial pressure. The oxygen permeation in the condition of air with $CO_2$ (300 ppm) as feed stream decreased as much as only maximum 2.9% in comparison with air feed stream. It indicated $BaCo_{0.7}Fe_{0.22}Nb_{0.08}O_{3-{\delta}}$ membrane is more stable than another membrane for carbon dioxide.

Background: Extracorporeal circulation using pump-oxygenator is an inevitable process to keep vital sign during cardiac arrest for open heart surgery. However, the diversion of blood through nonendothelialized channels appears to stimulate inflammatory response, and leukocyte activation may lead to cardiopulmonary edema. Our study evaluated the effect of leukocyte-induced cardiopulmonary edema using three different pump-oxygenator priming solutions; non-hemic crystalloid solution ; leukocyte-depleted homologous blood; non leukocyte-depleted homologous blood in priming solutions. Material and Method: Each different priming solution was used on five dogs, and the effect of leukocyte-induced cardiopulmonary edema during cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) was evaluated. For each dog after 2 hours of exracorporeal circulation and another 4 hours of post-pump period, the dog was sacrificed and its heart and lung tissues were obtained for measuring Wet/Dry ratio. Arterial $O_2$partial pressure(PaO$_2$) and $CO_2$partial pressure(Pa$CO_2$) were checked. For the evaluation of ventilatory function, $CO_2$partial pressure difference between arterial blood (Pa$CO_2$) and exhaled air(Et$CO_2$) was measured. Result: 1. No significant difference was seen in arterial PaO$_2$and Pa$CO_2$among groups. 2. Ventilatory function evaluated by Pa$CO_2$and Et$CO_2$showed no significant difference between non-hemic and blood-mixed priming solution (P<0.05). 3. Cardiac and lung Wet/Dry ratios were remarkedly lower in the leukocyte-depleted group. There was no significant difference between the non-hemic and blood-mixed groups. Conclusion: Based upon this result, we concluded that the leukocyte depletion from homologous blood of CPB priming solution has a beneficial effect in reducing cardiopulmonary edema compared with non leukocyte-depleted or crystalloid priming solutions.

We investigated Pt and $RuO_2$ as a bottom electrode and PZT thin film for ferroelectric applications. XRD examination shows that a mixed phase of (111) and (200) Pt peak for the temperature ranged from RT to $200^{\circ}C$, and a preferred (111) orientation for the substrate temperature of $300^{\circ}C$. From the XRD and AFM results, we recommend the substrate temperature of $300^{\circ}C$, 80 W for the Pt bottom electrode growth. From the study of an oxygen partial pressure from 0 to 50%, we learned that only Ru metal was grown with $0{\sim}5%$, a mixed phase of Ru and $RuO_2$ for $10{\sim}40%$, pure $RuO_2$ at 50%. Having optimized the bottom electrode growth conditions, we employed two step process in PZT film capacitor: PZT film growth at the low substrate temperature of $300^{\circ}C$ and then post RTA anneal treatments. PZT films were randomly oriented on $RuO_2$ and (110) preferentially oriented on Pt electrode. Leakage current density of PZT film demonstrated two to three orders higher for $RuO_2$ bottom electrode. From C-V results we observed a dielectric constant of PZT film higher than 1200. This paper presents the optimized process conditions of the bottom electrodes and properties of PZT thin films on these electrodes.

Silicon oxide thin films were deposited by remote plasma chemical vapor deposition (RPCYD). The effect of the operating variables, such as plasma power, deposition temperature and partial pressure of reactant on the material Properties of the silicon oxide film was investigated. By XPS, it was found out that the film was suboxide (O/Si<2) and small amount of nitrogen due to the plasma excitation was accumulated at the Si/SiO$_2$interface. The amount of dangling bonds at the Si/SiO$_2$interfaces were measured by ESR and the concentration of hydrogen bond was obtained by SIMS and FT-IR. The bond angle distribution(d$\theta$/$\theta$) was shown to be similiar to thermal oxide above 20$0^{\circ}C$ but the etch rate was higher than that of the thermal oxides due to the structural difference and the stress between silicon substrate and silicon oxide film.

We report p-type electrical characteristics of the amorphous $La_2NiO_{4+{\delta}}$ thin films which were sputtered on the glass substrates using an RF sputtering system. As-deposited thin films at room temperature and $300^{\circ}C$ were amorphous in nature. Post-annealing of the thin film samples over $400^{\circ}C$ resulted in the nano-crystallization of the $La_2NiO_{4+{\delta}}$. The electrical properties of the films were much dependent on the oxygen partial pressure, temperature of the post-annealing and sputtering ambient. The as-deposited samples at room temperature show a hole concentration of $7.82{\times}10^{13}cm^{-3}$, and it could be increased as high as $3.51{\times}10^{22}cm^{-3}$ when the films were post-annealed in an oxygen atmosphere at $500^{\circ}C$. Such p-type conductivity behavior of the $La_2NiO_{4+{\delta}}$ films suggests that the amorphous and nano-crystallized $La_2NiO_{4+{\delta}}$ films have potential for the application as p-type semiconductive or conductive materials at low temperatures where material diffusion is limited.

We have designed and developed narrow bandpass multipole filters for satellite communication using $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$(YBCO) thin films on MgO substrates. The superconducting film used in this study was prepared by laser ablation on one side polished MgO (100) substrates. A Nd:YAG laser was used to fabricate YBCO thin films. The wave length of the laser was 355 nm. The laser beam was focused onto a YBCO target rotating linearly to avoid deep craters that may eject macroscopic YBCO particles. The YBCO films were grown at $750^{\circ}C$ in the oxygen partial pressure of 200 mTorr. The deposited YBCO thin films were patterned by conventional wet-etching method. The transition temperatures of YBCO thin films were 85 - 88 K and the film thicknesses were about 5,000 $\AA$. By comparing the performances of normal-metal filters and YBCO filters, we observed that superconducting YBCO multipole filters have been showed superior performances at 77 K.

This study investigated the thermal behavior of the nuclear graphite waste generated from the decommissioning of the Korean nuclear research reactor, The first part study investigated the decomposition rate of the nuclear graphite waste up to $1000^{\circ}C$ under various oxygen partial pressures using a thermo-gravimetric analyzer (TGA). Tested graphite waste sample not easily destroyed in the oxygen-deficient condition. However, the gas-solid oxidation reaction was found to be very effective in the presence of oxygen. No significant amount of the product of incomplete combustion was formed even in the limited oxygen concentration of 4% $O_2$. The influence of temperature and oxygen partial pressure was evaluated by the theoretical model analysis of the thermo-gravimetric data. The activation energy and the reaction order of graphite oxidation were evaluated as 128 kJ/mole and 1.1, respectively. The second part of this study investigated the behavior of radioactive elements under graphite oxidation atmosphere using thermodynamic equilibrium model. $^{22}Na$, $^{134}Cs$ and $^{137}Cs$ were found be the semi-volatile elements. Since volatile uranium species can be formulated at high temperatures above $1050^{\circ}C$, the temperature of incinerator furnace should be minimized. Other corrosion/activation products, fission products and uranium were found to be the non-volatile species.

Tungsten carbon nitride (W-C-N) thin films were produced by reactive radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputter-ing of tungsten in $Ar-N_2$ gas mixture. The effects of the variation of nitrogen partial pressure on the composition, and structural properties of these films as well as the influence of post-deposition annealing have been studied. When $La_{0.67}Sr_{0.33}MnO_3$ was coated on the W-C-N/Si substrate, coercivity ($H_c$) and magnetization at room temperature shows 58.73 Oe, and 29.4 emu/cc, respectively. In order to improve the diffusion barrier characteristics, we have studied the impurity behaviors to control the ratios of nitrogen and carbon concentrations.

It is well known that $BaMgAl_{10}O_{17}:Eu^{2+}$ (BAM) and $CaMgSi_2O_6:Eu^{2+}$ (CMS) are a highly efficient blue phosphor. However, these phosphors in the form of thin films have not yet been realized clue to technical difficulties. We prepared thin film type BAM and CMS phosphors on quartz glass substrate using a pulsed laser deposition technique. The luminescent and structural properties of thin film phosphors were monitored as a function of key processing parameters such as oxygen partial pressure inside the deposition chamber, deposition time, laser energy density and the type of post-deposition treatments used. Even though we could not obtain single homogenous phases, thin films with large homogenous areas and a high photoluminescence could be produced by optimizing these processing parameters.

Mimicking the bacterial synthesis of magnetosomes, in which the functionalized surface of a cytoplasmic (lipid) membrane is considered to be stimulating the crystal growth of magnetite, we have successfully grown magnetite films at $30^{\circ}C$ using an arachic acid monomolecular layer as a functionalized surface. The lipid monomolecular layer was spread on an aqueous solution of FeCl$_2$ which was oxidized by flowing a mixed gas, with ratio $O_2$/$N_2$=1/2000, on the surface of the lipid layer. Mossbauer and X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that the Fe$_3$O$_4$ films contain small amounts of ferric hydroxyl impurity phases of ${\alpha}$-FeOOH and ${\tau}$-FeOOH. This is because the oxygen partial pressure at the ferrite/aqueous interface changed as the film (through which the gas penetrated) increased in thickness. Methods to obtain single phase magnetite films are proposed.
