The defect states of a Ar-sputtered SiO2 surface on Si (001) were investigated using Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy (REELS). The REELS spectra at the primary electron energy of 500 eV showedthat three peaks at 2.5, 5.1, and 7.2 eV were found within the band gap after sputtering. These peaks do not appear at the primary electron energies of 1,000 and 1,500 eV, which means that the defect states are located at the extreme surface of a SiO2/Si thin film. According to the calculations, two peaks at 7.2 and 5.1 eV are related to neutral oxygen vacancies. However, the third peak at 2.5 eV has never been previously reported and the theories proposed that this defect state may be due to Si-Si bonding. Our Auger data showed that a peak for Si-Si bonding at 89 eV appears after Ar ion sputtering on the surface of the sample, which is consistent with the theoretical models.

Effects of surface defect distribution on flame instability during flame-surface interaction are experimentally investigated. To examine chemical quenching phenomenon which is caused by radical adsorption and recombination processes on the surface, thermally grown silicon oxide plates with well-defined defect density were prepared. ion implantation technique was used to control the number of defects, i.e. oxygen vacancies. In an attempt to preferentially remove oxygen atoms from silicon dioxide surface, argon ions with low energy level from 3keV to 5keV were irradiated at the incident angle of $60^{\circ}$. Compositional and structural modification of $SiO_2$ induced by low-energy $Ar^+$ ion irradiation has been characterized by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). It has been found that as the ion energy is increased, the number of structural defect is also increased and non-stoichiometric condition of $SiO_x({\le}2)$ is enhanced.

Adorption of nitric oxide on the Pt(III) surface sputtered by Ar-ion has been studied using thermal desorption spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy. Ar-ion sputtering creates a precursor state of ($NO\beta$ stage) adsorbe dat defect sites. The precursor state is characterized by the terminal bent species . At low coverge mos 샐 adsorbed NO dissociates . And as increasing the coverage, the fraction of dissociation remains about 80%.

This paper describes a fast image labeling algorithm for the feature extraction of connected components. Labeling the connected regions of a digitized image is a fundamental computation in image analysis and machine vision, with a large number of application that can be found in various literature. This algorithm is designed for the surface defect inspection of Cold Mill Strip. The labeling algorithm permits to separate all of the connected components appearing on the Cold Mill Strip.

Infrared thermography was used to determine the location, size, and depth of defects under the surface of M.C nylon. Defects were created in a specimen by back-drilling circular holes. These defects were located at the maximum temperature difference that occurred. The sizes of the defects could be calculated by means of the full width at half of the maximum temperature difference. The depth of a defect could be calculated by the peak time and the maximum temperature difference. The maximum temperature difference between a defect and normal part was decreased with the depth of the defect. And the peak time also slowly appeared with the depth of the defect.

Developmental salivary gland defect is a bone depression on the lingual surface of the mandible containing salivary gland or fatty soft tissue. The most common location is within the submandibular gland fossa and often close to the inferior border of the mandible. This defect is asymptomatic and generally discovered only incidentally during radiographic examination of the area. This defect also appears as a well-defined, corticated, unilocular radiolucency below the mandibular canal. Although it is not uncommon for this defect to appear as a round or ovoid radiolucency, multilocular radiolucency of these defects is relatively rare. This report presents a case of a developmental salivary gland defect with multilocular radiolucency in a male patient.

This paper is concerned with type of imperfections present within the anodic oxide films on AA2024 and surface hardness of the anodic film measured after ink-impregnation. The anodic oxide films were formed for 25 min at 40 mA/㎠ and 15±0.5℃ and 300 rpm of magnet stirring rate in 20% sulfuric acid solution. The ink-impregnation allows clear observations of not only the imperfections within the anodic oxide films but also an indentation mark on the oxide film surface made by a pyramidal-diamond penetrator for the hardness measurement. There were observed four different regions in the anodic oxide films on AA2024 and the surface hardness of the anodic oxide films appeared to be crucially dependent on the type of defects, showing 60~100 H_v on the oxide surface region I with large size black defect, 100~140 H_v on the oxide surface region II with large size grey defect, 140~170 H_v on the oxide surface region III with mall size black and/or grey defects and 170~190 H_v on the oxide surface region IV without defects. The pyramidal indentation marks were observed to be distorted in the regions with a large size black and grey defects, while no distortion of the indentation mark was observed in the regions with small size defects and without visible defects.

This paper deals with the behavior of surface crack growth and the characteristics of surface micro-crack distribution under creep and creep-fatigue with 1 min. and 10 min. of load holding times at 593.deg.C, in air. The test specimen is a plate type with a small artificial defect of type 304 the small defect has been carried out by the surface replica method and optical microphotography. The experimental results have been interpreted from the view-point of fracture mechanics. It can be concluded that the longer the hold time the longer the total life time. Most of surface micro-cracks initiate at grain boundaries before the specimen reaches 20% of its total life time, a few of them lead to fracture by coalescence with the main crack.

We examined the governing factors of fatigue limit in annealed and austempered ductile iron specimens machined micro hole(dia.<0.4mm) in rotary bending fatigue test. Also, the quantitative relationship between fatigue limit and maximum defect size in specimens was investigated. Artificial defect(micro-pit type, dia.<0.4mm) on specimen surface did not bring about an obvious reduction of fatigue limit in austempered ductile iton(ADI) as compared with annealed ductile iron. According to the investigation of ${\sqrt{area}}_c$ which is the critical defect size to crack initiation at artificial defect, ${\sqrt{area}}_c$ of ADI was larger than that of annealed ductile iron. This shows that the situation of crack initiation at artificial defect in ADI is more difficult in comparison with annealed ductile iron. Maximum defect size is one of the important parameters to predict fatigue limit. And, the quantitative relationship, between the fatigue limit ${\sigma}_{\omega}$ and the maximum defect size ${\sqrt{area}}_{max}$ can be expressed to ${\sigma}_{\omega}^n{\cdot}{\sqrt{area}}_{max}=C_2$ where, $C_2$ are constant. Moreover, it is possible to explain the difference in fatigue limit between, austempered and annealed ductile iron by introducing the parameter ${\delta}(=N_{sg}/N_{total})$in a plain spectimen.
