Thank you for the help. The links are really helpful!
luskie Jun 1, 2010:
it depends on the context, of course, but I think that an oxygen vacancy is something more specific than a generic lack of oxygen - have a look at the links
Maria Dilena (asker) Jun 1, 2010:
Thank you. I guess I could re-phrase it to "a lack of oxygen"?

oxygen vacancy

"vancanze" in italiano è strano usato in questo modo, dev'essere proprio una traduzione dall'inglese

agree Giuseppe Bellone : IN senso scientifico alcune volte si trova, ovviamente nel senso di "mancanza", come è il suo significato in senso moooolto lato! Per es: Vacanza atomica o reticolare, assenza di un atomo nella posizione nodale di un reticolo cristallino.
