This work deals with the experimentation of a new ambient chamber for the use in diffuse
reflectance Fourier infrared spectroscopy studies on chemoresistive gas sensors in operando …

Tin dioxide (SnO 2 ) is the most-used semiconductor for gas sensing applications. However,
lack of selectivity and humidity influence limit its potential usage. Antimony (Sb) doped SnO …

The possible use of nanostructured silicon carbide for the manufacturing of chemiresistive
gas sensors with high selectivity towards sulfur dioxide has been recently explored. In this …

Hydrogen is largely adopted in industrial processes and is one of the leading options for
storing renewable energy. Due to its high explosivity, detection of H 2 has become essential for …

Among the various chemoresistive gas sensing properties studied so far, the sensing
response reproducibility, ie, the capability to reproduce a device with the same sensing …

The physico-chemical properties of native oxide layers, spontaneously forming on crystalline
Si wafers in air, can be strictly correlated to the dopant type and doping level. In particular, …

Emerging nanotechnologies improved solid-state sensors design and capabilities and
enabled the use of semiconducting metal oxides-based gas sensors for new and increasingly …

This Ph. D. thesis presents the development of an operando setup for the characterization of
chemiresistive gas sensors using diffused infrared light spectroscopy (DRIFT). The research …

Here, we applied rubbing on thiophene-basedorganic semiconductor thin films to induce a
reversible mechanical amorphisation. Amorphisation is associated with fluorescence …

Thin films of the natural semiconductor indigo have been grown on Si/SiO 2 substrates by
physical vapor deposition under ultra-high vacuum conditions, monitoring the influence of the …
