We report on memsensors, a class of two terminal devices that combines features of memristive and sensor devices. Apart from a pinched hysteresis (memristive property) and stimulus dependent electrical resistance (sensing ...

In this paper, the effect of the thickness of nano-structured TiO2 thin films (12–40nm) and successive deposition of different noble metal nanoparticles on the performances of propanol vapor and H2 gas sensors was investigated. ...

In this study, Ag-doped ZnO (ZnO:Ag) nanostructured films were functionalized with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), silver-platinum bimetallic nanoparticles (AgPt NPs) and silver-gold bimetallic NPs (AgAu NPs) using a gas ...

Titanium oxide (TiO2) is one of the most used photocatalytic materials for various applications such as environmental remediation, (solar)water splitting, and self-cleaning due to its high activity, low cost, high chemical, ...

The undoped and metal-doped zinc oxide columnar films (ZnO:Sn, ZnO:Fe, ZnO:Ag, and ZnO:Cu) are covered with an ultra-thin layer of SiO2 (10–20 nm). The electrical, UV, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) sensing properties ...

A composed morphology of iron oxide microstructures covered with very thin nanowires (NWs) with diameter of 15–50 nm has been presented. By oxidizing metallic Fe microparticles at 255 °C for 12 and 24 h, dense iron oxide ...

Extensive application requests on high-performance gas sensors and photodetectors reveal the importance of controlling semiconducting oxide properties. Sensing properties of ZnO nano- and micro-structures can be tuned and ...

In this work, gas phase synthesis of NPs is applied as it offers the benefit of a high purity, surfactant free deposition that is compatible with a broad range of substrates. At the example of three fundamentally different ...

Initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD) is a solvent-free polymer thin film deposition process which can be used to produce high quality dielectric thin films with nanoscale control and circumvents thus these problems. ...

The copper oxides are advanced materials due to their remarkable sensing, optical, electrical, thermal and magnetic performances. Nanostructuring and doping of copper oxides enhance further the possible features of these ...
