We analyzed a general situation when there is a larger number of different species in the environment. We developed our model and applied it to calculate various analyte mixtures, including some environmental pollutants, toxic and dangerous substances. The spectral density of

This paper deals with this problem starting from the theory of the adsorption-desorption noise and also the noise caused by temperature fluctuations and Johnson's noise. We found that the adsorption-desorption noise clearly exceeds the noise of the other sources at lower frequencies. According to the results we obtained for a typical microcantilever fabricated by NEMS processes, the order of magnitude of the noise equivalent mass (NEM) is NEM∼104 D (1 D=1.7·10-27 kg).

They have very promising applications in wastewater purification systems, as biosensors or as alternative power source.

The goal of research was to study activity of MFC and estimate its internal resistance.

For this purpose, experimental procedure was established which allowed testing in the pressure range (2· 102 -2·103) Pa. Thermopile voltage was measured in the atmosphere of argon, carbon dioxide and helium. Experimental results justified to some extent simulation data. It was proven that output voltage can serve both for gas type and gas pressure detection.

Research paper thumbnail of Monolayer Gas Adsorption on Graphene-Based Materials: Surface Density of Adsorption Sites and Adsorption Capacity

Surfaces, Aug 24, 2020

Yet, there is no simple expression suitable for fast calculations in current multiscale models. The published experimental data are often application-specific and related to the equilibrium surface density of adsorbate molecules. Based on the known density of adsorbed gas molecules and the surface coverage, both of these in equilibrium, we obtained an equation for the surface density of adsorption sites. We applied our analysis to the case of pristine graphene and thus estimated molecular dynamics of adsorption on it. The monolayer coverage was determined for various pressures and temperatures. The results are verified by comparison with literature data. The results may be applicable to modeling of the surface density of adsorption sites for gas adsorption on other homogeneous crystallographic surfaces. In addition to it, the obtained analytical expressions are suitable for training artificial neural networks determining the surface density of adsorption sites on a graphene surface based on the known binding energy, temperature, mass of adsorbate molecules and their affinity towards graphene. The latter is of interest for multiscale modelling.

Research paper thumbnail of MEMS resonator mass loading noise model: The case of bimodal adsorbing surface and finite adsorbate amount

Facta universitatis - series: Electronics and Energetics

In this work we derive and use analytical mathematical expressions to model stochastic fluctuations of the mass adsorbed on the MEMS resonator (mass loading noise). We consider the case where the resonator surface incorporates two different types of binding sites and where non-negligible depletion of the adsorbate occurs in a closed resonator chamber. We arrive at a novel expression for the power spectral density of mass loading noise in resonators and prove the necessity of its application in cases when resonators are exposed to low adsorbate concentrations. We use the novel approach presented he...

Research paper thumbnail of Optical field concentrator with low absorption metasurfaces based on planar silicon nanoantennas on silica

A severe limitation to their wider use is high absorption due to the mandatory presence of free electron-containing conductive parts which are lossy by definition. In this contribution we consider an alternative solution in the form of ultrathin silicon films deposited on a silica substrate. The films are patterned as arrays of elongated rhombuses acting as bowtie nanoantennas. We consider the effect of sharp tips and the proximity effect on the electromagnetic field concentration in such low-loss metasurfaces. Our structures have the advantage of very low absorption losses with an order of magnitude field enhancement and the virtue of full compatibility with the standard planar technologies. This makes them convenient for various practical applications which integrate high field concentration with e.g. waveguiding properties, for instance microreactors, labs-on-a-chip, photocatalytic systems and various other Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical System (MOEMS) devices integrating optical, microfluidic and other functionalities.

A limitation to their wider use is high absorption. Here we consider an alternative solution in the form of silicon-silica nanocomposites to be used as metasurface-based optical concentrators with decreased losses. To this purpose we design and simulate arrays of bowtie nanoantennas, built in ultrathin silicon films on a silica substrate. In comparison to plasmonic structures, field localization is weaker. On the other hand, our structures have very low absorption losses and a full compatibility with standard planar technologies. This makes them convenient for microreactors, lab-on-a-chip devices and various microfluidic MEMS systems.

These detectors are intended for the detection of infrared radiation in the (8-14) mm range at elevated temperatures and generation-recombination noise is the parameter limiting their performace. Its suppression is essential for the proper operation of these detectors. We also shortly consider 1/f (flicker) noise and the influence of magnetic field on its value.

The sensor considered in this work consists of thermopiles and thermally isolating membrane structure. The operating principle of such sensor would be based on monitoring thermal time constant dependence on pressure. In order to get the most prominent effect, sensor fabricated on SOI wafer is studied. Simulation was performed using 1D analytical model. It is shown that sensors performance could be improved by increasing the number of thermocouples. Apart from that it is demonstrated that performance of such sensor depends also on gas present in the housing so the same device could be also used as a gas type detector.

The transmission of samples was measured by LWIR (long wavelength infrared) spectrometry, and carrier concentration was determined by the Hall method. In our analysis of the measured results we used the generalized model of infrared absorption in mercury cadmium telluride, where the interband absorption was calculated using the Kane kP approach which takes into account the Urbach band tailing, the non parabolicity of bands and the Moss-Burstein bandfilling effect, and we also applied our approximate relations based on this model. In the long wavelength region, we took into account the absorption on free carriers. To calculate the values of the transmission coefficient we used a multilayer thin film approach. The connection between the real part of the refractive index and the infrared absorption coefficient was determined using the Kramers-Kronig relations and by applying empirical models.
