Pure titanium dioxide $(TiO_2)$ films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition on a single crystal Si(100) substrate. We have investigated the growth of crystalline titanium dioxide films with respect to substrate temperature and ambient oxygen pressure. The structural properties of the films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction. We found that the anatase as well as the rutile phases could be formed from the original rutile phase of the target $TiO_2$. At 0.75 torr of ambient oxygen pressure, the structure of $TiO_2$ film was amorphous at room temperature, anatase between 300 and 600 ℃, a mixture of anatase and rutile between 700 and 800 ℃, and only rutile at 900 ℃ and above. However, at a low ambient oxygen pressure, the rutile phase became dominant; the only rutile phase was obtained at the ambient oxygen pressure of 0.01 torr and the substrate temperature of 800 ℃. Therefore, the film structures were largely influenced by substrate temperature and ambient oxygen pressure.

WC-TiC-TaC binderless cemented carbide was oxidized under low partial pressure of oxygen (50ppm) at 873K for 1 to 20 h. Surface roughness was measured using atomic force microscope, and effect of TiC amount on oxidation behavior of the carbide was investigated. WC phase was oxidized more easily than WC-TiC-TaC solid solution phase. With an increase in TiC amount, WC-TiC-TaC phase increased and the oxidation resistance of the carbide increased.

The NdBaCuO superconductor samples were zone-melted in low oxygen partial pressure (1 % $O_2$＋99%Ar). The zone-melting temperature was decreased about 12$0^{\circ}C$ from 1, 06$0^{\circ}C$, the zone-melting temperature in air. Thus the loss of liquid phase (BaCu $O_2$and CuO) was reduced during the zone-melting process. The content of non-superconducting phase Nd422 in zone-melted NdBaCuO samples was clearly decreased and, therefore, the substitution of Nd for Ba was occurred. The superconductivity of zone-melted N $d_{1＋x}$B $a_{2－x}$C $u_3$ $O_{y}$prepared under low oxygen partial pressure was distinctively improved.d.d.d.

The effect of plasma treatment on surface characteristics of polycarbonate (PC) films was investigated using low pressure plasma and atmospheric pressure plasma with oxygen and argon. Untreated PC has a contact angle of $82.31^{\circ}$ with de-ionized water which reduced to $9.17^{\circ}$ as the lowest value after being treated with a low pressure plasma treatment with oxygen. Increase of delivered powers such as RF and AC with a high frequency and gas flow rates was not effective to reduce contact angles dramatically but gave the trend of reducing gradually. The surface of PC treated with plasma shows a low contact angle but the contact angle increases rapidly according to the exposure time in air ambient. Oxygen plasma was more effective to generate the polar functional group regardless of the type of plasma. Conclusively, a low plasma treatment with oxygen is more recommendable when the hydrophilic surface of PC is required.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of pressure and dissolved oxygen concentration on the activated slut비e and to determine the optimum depth of deep shaft process. Some results from this study were summarized as follows. 1. It is considered that low sludge product in the activated sludge system maintaining high dissolved oxygen concentration is attributed to the increase of endogeneous respiration rate caused by the increase of aerobic zone in the sludge floe. 2. The increase of dissolved oxygen concentration does not affect to the increase of organic removal efficiency greatly and therefore the limiting factor is the substrate transfer into the inner part of floe. 3. The yield coefficient, Y is decreased in proportion to the increase of oxygen concentration. In this study, Y values arre ranged from 0.70 to 0.41 according to the variation of dissolved oxygen concentration from 18.0mg/$\ell$ to 258 mg/$\ell$. 4. The optimum depth of deep shaft process should be determined within the limits of non-toxicity to the microorganism and it is about loom in this study.

ZnO films have been grown easily with the conventional thermal evaporation method on SiO$\_$2/ coated Si wafers. Anhydrous zinc acetate has been used as evaporation source. Zinc-acetate was directly heated in the laboratory-made brass boat. Zinc-acetate was sublimed at the boat temperature of about 220.deg. C. The substrates were heated to 600.deg. C with home made tantalium heater. Oxygen has been flowed into the deposition chamber to change the partial pressure of oxygen. X-ray diffraction patterns showed all the films to be amorphous. The films deposited at high oxygen pressure exhibit higher resistivity than films at low pressure. Energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS) and rutherford backscattering spectrometry(RBS) were conducted on the films to reveal the composition of the ZnO films.

The effects of sintering temperature and oxygen partial pressure on the electromagnetic properties of Mn-Zn ferrites were investigated. The grain increased with increasing temperature. The power loss at 100 kHz was decreased, while the power loss at 500 kHz was increased as the grain size increased with sintering temperature. Sintering with low oxygen partial pressure at 115$0^{\circ}C$ resulted in high density and initial permeability, and decreased the power loss at 100 kHz and 500 kHz. The oxygen partial pressure lower than 10-2 atm. during heating, significantly suppressed the hysteresis loss. However, the oxygen activity did not affect the grain size of sintered cores.

Transparent and conduction tin oxide films have been deposited on glass substrates employing the low pressure chemical vapor deposition technique. Tetramethyltin, 1, 1, 1, 2-tetrafluoroethane, and pure oxygen or ozone-containing oxygen were used as the precursor, dopant and oxidant, respectively. In order to examine the role of ozone in the low pressure chemical vapor deposition of tin oxide films, deposition rate, and electrical and optical properties of tin oxide films deposited using ozone-containing oxygen were compared with those using pure oxygen. Tetramethyltin and 1, 1, 1, 2-tetrafluoroethane were chemically activated by thermally initiated decomposition of ozone. Using ozone-containing oxygen under otherwise identical deposition conditions, we succeeded in preparing tin oxide films f better quality at higher deposition rate.

Silicone-coated fabric were treated by oxygen low temperature plasma to improve the adhesion. The surface of silicone-coated fabric was modified with gaseous plasma of several discharge power in the presence of oxygen gas at 1Torr pressure. Oxygen plasma treatment introduces oxygen-containing functional groups and micro-pittings on the silicone-coated fabric surface. The treated fabrics with oxygen low temperature plasma were measured by contact angle analyzer and XPS(X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), and interfacial adhesion was measured by T-peel test. The surface of fabric was investigated by SEM photographs. The chemical and physical modification of the surface wettabillity by plasma treatment can increase the adhesion.
