AbstractThe properties of ferroelectric thin films can be significantly influenced by the presence of point defects. The concentration of vacancies presented in these thin films is known to be one of the key parameters causing the degradation of these films when these films are subjected to polarization reversals.To study the effects of the vacancy concentration on the ferroelectric properties, sol gel PZT films and powders were annealed in different oxygen partial pressures. For the PZT films, the reduction of oxides to pure metals was not observed even with films annealed at 2×10−5 atmosphere of oxygen partial pressure. Samples annealed at low oxygen partial pressure (for instance, 10−3 and 2×10−5 atmosphere), which has more Pb and O2 depletions and consequently has more Pb and O2 vacancies, cannot be switched easily. The ratios of coercive field after and before fatigue increase as the defect concentrations of the annealed samples increase.

Abstract:Prevascularized medical devices can improve cell therapy. Such devices may replace whole organ transplantation with hosting only the necessary therapeutic cells. We have developed a noninvasive optical technology to study the vascularization into such medical devices. In our technique, oxygen partial pressure within a device is monitored by Oxygen Sensitive Tubes (OSTs), comprising oxygen permeable silicone tubing with inner luminal surfaces coated by an oxygen-sensitive porphyrin dye. OSTs were placed within a PDMS device and transplanted into the subcutaneous space of athymic nude mice. An optical probe placed over the skin excites the OSTs with a pulse of light and detects the luminescent lifetime of emitted light, which is uniquely related to oxygen partial pressure. Furthermore, we developed a Dynamic Inhalation Gas Test (DIGT) to determine the oxygen transport rate between the microvasculature and the device. DIGT works by monitoring oxygen partial pressure in a device following a step change in inhaled-gas oxygen content. We report DIGT oxygen dynamics measured intermittently over eight weeks. Our study shows DIGT dynamics are unique to each implant, supporting the important role of the host tissue response in the availability of oxygen over time.
