A successful combination of “oxygen-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process” and Co catalyst nanoparticles to grow highly pure single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) was demonstrated. Recently, it was reported that addition of small amounts of oxygen during CVD process dramatically increased the purity and yield of carbon nanotubes. However, this strategy could not be applied for discrete Fe nanoparticle catalysts from which appropriate yields of SWNTs could be grown directly on solid substrates, and fabricated into field effect transistors (FETs) quite efficiently. The main reason for this failure is due to the carbothermal reduction which results in SiO2 nanotrench formation. We found that the oxygen-assisted CVD process could be successfully applied for the growth of highly pure SWNTs by switching the catalyst from Fe to Co nanoparticles. The topological morphologies and p-type transistor electrical transport properties of the grown SWNTs were examined by using atomic force microscope (AFM), Raman, and from FET devices fabricated by photolithography.

In this thesis, the metastable state diamond thin films have been deposited on Si substrates from methane-hydrogen and oxygen mixture using Microwave Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor deposition (MWPCVD) method. Effects of each experimental parameters of MWPCVD including methane concentrations, oxygen additions, operating pressure, deposition time, etc. on the growth rate and crystallinity were investigated. SEM, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy were employed to analyze the growth rate and morphology, crystallinity and prefered growth direction, and relative amounts of diamond and non-diamond phases respectively. As a methane concentration below 4%, the deposited films having well-defined facets could be obtained. As the methane concentration increases over 4%, the shape of films gradually changed into a amorphos form. The best crystallinity of the film at 3% in the Raman spectroscopy. Addition of oxygen to the methane-hydrogen mixture gave an improved film crystallinity at 50% oxygen concentration due to its more effectiveness in the selective removal of the non-diamond phased compared to the of H atom. on the contrary, the growth rate generally decreased by oxygen to from the more stable CO and CO2 is responsible for such an effect. Upon increasing the operating pressure and time, increased of growth rate and crystallinity were increased simultaneously.

Effect of silicon doping into ZnSnO systems was investigated using solution process. Addition of silicon was used to suppress oxygen vacancy generation. The transfer characteristics of the device showed threshold voltage shift toward the positive direction with increasing Si content due to the high binding energy of silicon atoms with oxygen. As a result, the carrier concentration was decreased with increasing Si content.

Photoreaction of N-(o-halophenyl)acetamide in basic acetonitrile produces an intramolecular substituted product, 2-methylbenzoxazole in addition to reduced product, acetanilide, whereas photoreaction of N-(o-halobenzyl) acetamide affords a reduced product, N-benzylacetamide only. On the basis of preparative reaction, kinetics, and UV/vis absorption behavior, an electrophilic aromatic substitution of aryl halide with oxygen of its amide bond are proposed.

$Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ (BiT) thin films were well developed on the Pt/Ti/$SiO_2/Si$ substrate by a metal organic decomposition (MOD) method. Oxygen was effective on the crystallization of the BiT thin films during a rapid thermal annealing process. The electrical properties of the BiT films dependant on the oxygen partial pressure were investigated. No crystalline phase was observed for the BiT film annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ under oxygen free atmosphere. However, its crystallinity was significantly evolutionned with increasing oxygen partial pressure. In addition, its dielectric and piezoelectric properties were enhanced with increasing oxygen partial pressure to 10 torr. Especially, the BiT film, annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ and 10 torr oxygen pressure, showed good dielectric properties: dielectric constant of 51 and dielectric loss of 0.2 % at 100 kHz. Its leakage current and piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}$) was also considerably improved, being as 0.62 nA/$cm^2$ at 1 V and approximately 51 pm/V, respectively.

본 연구는 액체질소와 같이 급속 동결이 가능하면서 질식의 위험을 배제할 수 있는 냉매로서 액화공기를 선정하였고 이의 적용성을 평가하였다. 액화공기의 안정성을 평가하기 위해 액체질소와 액체산소가 혼합된 액화공기의 산소 농도가 산업안전보건법에 제시된 산소 농도 기준에 부합되는지를 실험적으로 검증하였으며, 액체질소 및 액체산소의 혼합 비율, 액화공기 저장용기의 압력변화 및 유량변화에 따른 액화공기 산소 농도변화를 살펴보았다. 그 결과, 액체질소 및 액체산소를 8:2로 혼합하였을 경우 산업안전보건법에 제시된 산소 농도 기준에 부합되는 것을 확인하였다. 액화공기 저장용기의 압력변화 및 유량변화는 액화공기의 산소 농도에 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

Molecular $N_2O$ has bee known to react over oxygen vacancy on a reduced rutile $TiO_2$(110)-1${\times}$1 surface to desorb as molecular $N_2$ leaving oxygen atom behind. In the present study, we investigated the reaction of $N_2O$ on rutile $TiO_2$(110) using temperature-programmed desorption (TPD). Our results indicate that $N_2O$ does not react over the oxygen vacancy under a typical UHV experimental condition. On a rutile $TiO_2$(110)-1${\times}$1 with a well-defined oxygen vacancy concentration of 5% ($2.6{\times}10^{13}/cm^2$), $N_2O$ desorption features show a monolayer peak maximum at 135 K followed by a small peak maximum at 170 K. When the oxygen vacancy is blocked with $H_2O$, the $N_2O$ peak at 170 K disappears completely, indicating that the peak is due to molecular $N_2O$ interacting with oxygen vacancy. The integrated amount of desorbed $N_2O$ plotted against the amount of adsorbed $N_2O$ however shows a straight line with no offset indicating no loss of $N_2O$ during our cycles of TPD measurements. In addition, our $N_2O$ uptake measurements at 70~100 K showed no $N_2$ (as a reaction product) desorption except contaminant $N_2$. Also, $H_2O$ TPD taken after $N_2O$ scattering up to 350 K indicates no change in the vacancy-related $H_2O$ desorption peak at 500 K showing no change in the oxygen vacancy concentration after the interaction with $N_2O$.

Background: The chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is regulated by many factors, including oxygen tensions, growth factors, and cytokines. Evidences have suggested that low oxygen tension seems to be an important regulatory factor in the proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation in various MSCs. Recent studies report that synovium-derived mesenchymal stem cells (SDSCs) are a potential source of stem cells for the repair of articular cartilage defects. But, the effect of low oxygen tension on the proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation in SDSCs has not characterized. In this study, we investigated the effects of hypoxia on proliferation and chondrogenesis in SDSCs. Method: SDSCs were isolated from patients with osteoarthritis at total knee replacement. To determine the effect of oxygen tension on proliferation and colony-forming characteristics of SDSCs, A colony-forming unit (CFU) assay and cell counting-based proliferation assay were performed under normoxic (21% oxygen) or hypoxic (5% oxygen). For in vitro chondrogenic differentiation, SDSCs were concentrated to form pellets and subjected to conditions appropriate for chondrogenic differentiation under normoxia and hypoxia, followed by the analysis for the expression of genes and proteins of chondrogenesis. qRT-PCR, histological assay, and glycosoaminoglycan assays were determined to assess chondrogenesis. Results: Low oxygen condition significantly increased proliferation and colony-forming characteristics of SDSCs compared to that of SDSCs under normoxic culture. Similar pellet size and weight were found for chondrogensis period under hypoxia and normoxia condition. The mRNA expression of types II collagen, aggrecan, and the transcription factor SOX9 was increased under hypoxia condition. Histological sections stained with Safranin-O demonstrated that hypoxic conditions had increased proteoglycan synthesis. Immunohistochemistry for types II collagen demonstrated that hypoxic culture of SDSCs increased type II collagen expression. In addition, GAG deposition was significantly higher in hypoxia compared with normoxia at 21 days of differentiation. Conclusion: These findings show that hypoxia condition has an important role in regulating the synthesis ECM matrix by SDSCs as they undergo chondrogenesis. This has important implications for cartilage tissue engineering applications of SDSCs.
