研究目的
To develop a large-scale, omnidirectional, and polarization-independent metamaterial-based chemical sensor (MCS) for detecting volatile organic solutions (VOS) with high sensitivity and figure-of-merit.
研究成果
The developed MCS demonstrates high sensitivity and figure-of-merit for VOS sensing, with potential applications in chemical sensors, biosensors, food safety, and live cell monitoring. The fabrication method is simple, cost-effective, and scalable for mass production.
研究不足
The study focuses on the UV-visible wavelength range and may not cover other spectra. The sensitivity and figure-of-merit, while high, may have room for improvement for certain applications.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves the fabrication of a metamaterial-based chemical sensor (MCS) using hybrid nanopillars through direct metal deposition and post thermal annealing treatment. The EM field modulation between nanopillars is utilized for sensing.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The MCS is tested with various volatile organic solutions (VOS) to investigate its sensing capabilities, focusing on refractive index changes.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Includes hybrid Au/SiO2/Si nanopillars, PDMS-based microfluidic channels, and various VOS for testing.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The MCS is encapsulated in a PDMS-based microfluidic channel, filled with different VOS to compare their refractive indexes and investigate the sensitivities of MCS.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The reflective spectra of MCS under different conditions are analyzed to determine sensitivity and figure-of-merit.
