The cytochrome C (cyt c) thin film on gold nanoparticles was prepared using the spin coating technique. Detection of gas was based on the change in the LSPR of gold nanoparticle modified cytocrome C film upon exposure to the gas sample. It was found that the SPR peak of absorbance spectrum of gold nanoparticle-cyt c film was decreased when the NO gas flowed into the sensor chamber.

Then, we applied the Non-Equilibrium Green Function method to calculate the conduction in A-GNR. Thereafter, we analyzed the single gated GNRFET in real space provided that under any Vgs the energy of all the atoms within the channel remains the same (qVgs) and consequently, solving Poisson's equation is not needed anymore. The numerical calculation of the self-energy matrices is done based on two approaches, where the same result is obtained but different CPU times consumed. Therefore, one of the advantages of our approach is considerably lower consuming time of calculation. The number of atoms across the width of the channel nanoribbon is chosen so that the channel behaves as a semiconductor. However, for the reservoirs (source and drain) the number of atoms within their widths makes them metallic ribbons. The results of applying TNN in comparison with those of FNN show that TNN is more accurate and reliable. Finally, we can conclude that in A-GNRFET tunneling component of the current from reservoir to the channel is significant.","PeriodicalId":308501,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Semiconductor Electronics (ICSE2010)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116757895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chemical type conductivity-based gas detectors are large in size, they operate at high temperatures, and their response time is slow. Moreover most of them are only capable of detecting single type gases due to their low selectivity. Physical type ionization-based sensors have better selectivity and response time, but they are still huge and bulky. Both chemical and physical type gas detectors are using semiconductor materials as their sensing elements. With the discovery of nanomaterials, different types of sensing elements have been investigated to produce gas sensors which are smaller in size, one of which is carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Development of high performance sensor is now focused towards CNT-based sensors because of their inherent properties such as small size, large surface area and high electrical conductivity. CNTs based sensors are smaller in size; they have lower power consumption, higher sensitivity and better selectivity compared to existing semiconducting gas sensors. CNT-based gas sensors operate in room temperature which will result in safer environment. The work investigates the structural and electrical characterization of carbon nanotubes array for suitability as an effective sensing element in the ionization-based gas sensor.","PeriodicalId":308501,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Semiconductor Electronics (ICSE2010)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130982458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
