  • Usually, the oxygen vacancy is an important factor in an oxide semiconductor device because the conductivity is related to the oxygen vacancy, which is formed at the interface between oxide semiconductors and electrodes with an annealing processes. ZTO is made by mixing n-type ZnO and p-type $SnO_2$. Zink tin oxide (ZTO), zink oxide (ZnO) and tin oxide ($SnO_2$) thin films deposited by RF magnetron sputtering and annealed, to generate the oxygen vacancy, were analyzed by XPS spectra. The contents of oxygen vacancy were the highest in ZTO annealed at $150^{\circ}C$, ZnO annealed at $200^{\circ}C$ and $SnO_2$ annealed at $100^{\circ}C$. The current was also increased with increasing the oxygen vacancy ions. The highest content of ZTO oxygen vacancies was obtained when annealed at 150. This is the middle level in compared with those of ZnO annealed at $200^{\circ}C$ and $SnO_2$ annealed at $100^{\circ}C$. The electrical properties of ZTO followed those of $SnO_2$, which acts a an enhancer in the oxide semiconductor.

  • The oxygen saturation of blood can be measured by the difference absorption in optical spectra of Hb and Hb0$_2$, as the well known previous study. In this study we developed the non-invasive oxygen measurement device for diagnosis of peripheral vascular disease in lower extremity using infrared and red LED which produce a peak spectral emission at a wavelength of 660 nm, and 940 nm. To evaluate the clinical application of the oxygen measurement device, we performed lower extremity study to measure the oxygen changes in response to physiological changes within biological tissue. The results showed that oxygen saturation of blood in biological tissue can be monitored from the separation arrangement light source and detector.

  • An oxygen sensor installed in vehicle exhaust systems enables to measure the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas, in which the measured data are collected and analyzed in ECU(Engine Control Unit). The oxygen sensor is exposed to the high speed exhaust gas at high temperature circumstance, so that protection caps are required not only to protect the susceptible measuring part, but also to provide the real time measurement without time delay. In this study, a new oxygen sensor with one protection cap was proposed, and the CFD analysis was carried out in order to compare the performance characteristics, such as flow speed and ratio of AOA(Age of Air), for the conventional and new oxygen sensor. The numerical results of CFD analysis provided the flow speed of 1.34m/s and the ratio of AOA of 3.43. The similar features obtained from the numerical results showed that the new oxygen sensor guarantees the same performance characteristics of the conventional ones.

  • This study was undertaken to obtain more detailed knowledge of the oxygen consumption rate of chick embryos, of the relationship between the increasing rate of embryo weight and that of oxygen consumption, of the daily increase of oxygen consumption by that of embryo weight, and of the metabolic rate of the White Leghorn eggs. The results obtained are summarized as follows. 1. The average oxygen consumption rate of the chicken embryo at the 3rd day of incubation is 0.8ml/h, STPD. It is strongly suggested that this value can used as a physiological criterion to classify the fertilized and unfertilized eggs, on the other hand oxygen consumption rate of the fertilized eggs reaches a plateau between the 18th and 20th days. 2. There exists a parallel relationship between the increasing rate of embryo weight and that of oxygen consumption rate during the incubation period. 3. There are not exist a parallel relationship between the daily increase of embryo weight and that of oxygen consumption during the whole incubation period. 4. The metabolic rate of chicken embryo(ml/h/g) is highest in the early stage of incubation and it started to decrease sharply until the 8th day follow by slow decrease thereafter.

  • Variations of dissolved oxygen were studied for two years in two brackish lakes, Etang de Berre and Etang de Vaine related to the north-west Mediteranean Sea. The variations also were studied at the same time in nearby seawater, and in the four main tributaries of Etang de Berre. The distributions of dissolved oxygen values and their spatio-temporal variations were well matched with the characteristics of the water masses in different environments. The concentration of dissolved oxygen and the rate of oxygen saturation in seawater (Carry-le-Rouet) ranged from 5.0 to 6.0 ml.1$\^$-1/, and from 95 to 105%, respectively. The amount of dissolved oxygen in Etang de Berre oscillated between 0.17 and 11.43 ml.1$\^$-1/ with an average of 7.40ml1$\^$-1/.The rate of oxygen saturation oscillated between 2.9 and 168.3%. Annual values of the four tributaries are as follows (ml.1$\^$-1/ and %): Durance:8.68 and 113.6;Arc : 6.87 and 95.3;Touloubre: 6.87 and 91.0;Durancole;6.36 and 96.8 The data for the evolutions of dissolved oxygen in Etang de Berre on the period between 1965 and 1978 are presented. A rather good negative correlation links oxygen with temperatures.

  • As-grown $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ films on MgO(100)substrates were prepated by a reactive co-evaporation method, and effects of activated oxygen plasma on the crystallinity and superconductivity at substrate temperature ranging from $450^{\circ}C$ to $590^{\circ}C$ were investigated. The film deposited under the activated oxygen plasma at the substrate temperature of $590^{\circ}C$ had a single crystal phase. Whereas, when films were deposited under only oxygen gas, they were not in perfect single crystal phase but with slight polycrystalline nature. When the substrate temperature was $590^{\circ}C$, $Tc_{zero}$'s were 83K and 80K for films with and without activated oxygen plasma, respectively. The critical temperature, the crystal structure and the surface morphology of as-grown films were found to be insensitive to the activated oxygen plasma which is introduced during deposition instead of oxygen gas, but the crystalline quality was improved somewhat by the introduction by the introduction of actvated oxygen plasma.

  • In order to elucidate the cytotoxic effect of oxygen radicals on cultured spinal dorsal root ganglion(DRG) neurons derived from mouse. the neurotoxic effect of oxygen radicals w as examined after cultured DRG neurons were exposed to xanthine oxidase(XO) and hypoxanthine(HX)-oxygen radical generating system. In addition. neuroprotective effect of epidermal growth factor(EGF) against oxidant-induced neurotoxicity was also evaluated in these cultures. The results were, as follows: 1. Lethal concentration 50(LC$_{50}$) was 35mU/ml XO and 0.1mM HX in cultured DRG neurons. 2. Oxygen radicals induced the morphological changes such as the decrease of cell number and loss of neurites in these cultures. 3. EGF increased the cell viability and neurofilament in neurons damaged by oxygen radicals. From above the results, it is suggested that oxygen radicals have a cytotoxic effect on cultured DRG neurons of neonatal mouse and selective neurotrophic factors such as EGF are, effective, in blocking the neurotoxicity induced by oxygen radicals in cultured spinal DRG neurons.

  • Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were synthesized using catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Oxygen plasma treatment was applied to modify surface state of the CNTs synthesized for improvement of field emission performance. Surface state of the plasma treated CNTs was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The surface states of the CNTs were changed as a function of plasma treatment time. The oxygen related carbon shift was moved toward higher binding energy with the plasma treatment time. This result implies that the oxygen plasma treatment changes the surface state effectively. While any shift in carbon 1s peak was not detected for the as grown CNTs, oxygen related carbon shift was detected for the plasma treated CNTs. Carbon shift implies that closed CNT tips were opened by the oxygen plasma and reacted with oxygen species. Since the field emission occurs at pentagons or dangling bonds of the CNT tips, the increase of carbon-oxygen bonds plays an important role in field emission behavior by increasing the number of electron emission sites resulting in improvement of the field emission performance.

  • The objective of this study was to investigate delayed oxygen evolution and localized corrosion resistance of titanium alloys by performing potentiodynamic polarization, potentiostatic polarization, and Mott-Schottky measurements. Delayed oxygen evolution was compared among titanium alloys, 316 stainless steel, and platinum. Difference in delayed oxygen evolution between titanium alloys and other metals was attributed to specific surface characteristic of each metal. Delayed oxygen evolution of titanium alloys resulted from the predominant process of ionic conduction over electronic conduction. The effect of oxygen evolution on localized corrosion of titanium alloys was investigated using electrochemical critical localized corrosion temperature (E-CLCT) technique. Mott-Schottky measurement was performed to clarify the difference in film properties between titanium alloys and stainless steels. Titanium alloys were found to have much lower donor density than stainless steels by 1/28. These results indicate that delayed oxygen evolution has little influence on the concreteness of passive film and the resistance to localized corrosion of titanium alloys.

  • Oxygen incorporated $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ (GST) films were prepared by an ion beam sputtering deposition (IBSD) method. From the I-V curves, the $V_{th}$ value varies with the oxygen content. Ge-deficient hexagonal phases are responsible for the observed unstability and decrease in $V_h$ values. In the case of a GST film with an elevated oxygen content of 30.8 %, the GST layer melted at 9.02 V due to the instability conferred by the high oxygen content. The formation of Ge-deficient hexagonal phases such as $GeSb_2Te_4$ and $Sb_2Te_3$ appear to be responsible for the $V_{th}$ variation. Impedance analyses indicated that the resistance in GST films with oxygen contentsof 16.7 % and 21.7 % had different origins. Thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS)data indicate that moisture and hydrocarbons were more readily desorbed at higher oxygen content because the oxygen incorporated GST films are more hydrophilic than undoped GST films.
