    Abstract The investigation of precursor classes for the fabrication of nanostructures is of specific interest for maskless fabrication and direct nanoprinting. In this study, the differences in material composition depending on the employed process are illustrated for focused-ion-beam- and focused-electron-beam-induced deposition (FIBID/FEBID) and compared to the thermal decomposition in chemical vapor deposition (CVD). This article reports on specific differences in the deposit composition and microstructure when the (H

    Abstract Nanoscale heterostructures based on WO3-x nanoneedles functionalized with Fe2O3 nanoparticles are integrated directly into flexible polymer-based transducing platforms via aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition. Results demonstrate that the incorporation of Fe2O3 nanoparticles at the surface of WO3-x nanoneedles enhances the electronic and sensing properties of WO3-x, providing a 6-fold increase in sensitivity to toluene and low cross-sensitivity to hydrogen and ethanol. These enhanced-sensing properties are comparable to those obtained via functionalization with precious metal (Pt) nanoparticles, which are commonly used to enhance sensor performance.

    Abstract Gas sensitive cerium oxide-tungsten oxide core-shell nanowires are synthesized and integrated directly into micromachined platforms via aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition. Tests to various volatile organic compounds (acetone, ethanol, and toluene) involved in early disease diagnosis demonstrate enhanced sensitivity to acetone for the core-shell structures in contrast to the non-modified materials (i.e., only tungsten oxide or cerium oxide). This is attributed to the high density of oxygen vacancy defects at the shell, as well as the formation of heterojunctions at the core-shell interface, which provide the modified nanowires with 'extra' chemical and electronic sensitization as compared to the non-modified materials.

    Abstract Whilst columnar zinc oxide (ZnO) structures in the form of rods or wires have been synthesized previously by different liquid- or vapor-phase routes, their high cost production and/or incompatibility with microfabrication technologies, due to the use of pre-deposited catalyst-seeds and/or high processing temperatures exceeding 900 °C, represent a drawback for a widespread use of these methods. Here, however, we report the synthesis of ZnO rods via a non-catalyzed vapor-solid mechanism enabled by using an aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method at 400 °C with zinc chloride (ZnCl2) as the precursor and ethanol as the carrier solvent. This method provides both single-step formation of ZnO rods and the possibility of their direct integration with various substrate types, including silicon, silicon-based micromachined platforms, quartz, or high heat resistant polymers. This potentially facilitates the use of this method at a large-scale, due to its compatibility with state-of-the-art microfabrication processes for device manufacture. This report also describes the properties of these structures (e.g., morphology, crystalline phase, optical band gap, chemical composition, electrical resistance) and validates its gas sensing functionality towards carbon monoxide.

    Abstract A new method for the site-selective synthesis of nanowires has been developed to enable material growth with defined morphology and, at the same time, different composition on the same chip surface. The chemical vapor deposition approach for the growth of these nanowire-based resistive devices using micromembranes can be easily modified and represents a simple, adjustable fabrication process for the direct integration of nanowire meshes in multifunctional devices. This proof-of-concept study includes the deposition of SnO

    Abstract A miniaturized Planar Field Asymmetric Ion Mobility Spectrometer (P-FAIMS) has been simulated in N₂ at ambient pressure using COMSOL Multiphysics software. Micro-IMS is based on ion gas-phase separation due to the dependence of ion mobility with electric field. Ions are selected by a DC voltage characteristic of each kind of ion. The average kinetic behaviour of ions in high electric fields conditions is well known but not the chemical reactions and physical collisions related with. The aim of this work is the modelling of the average kinetic behaviour of different kind of ions in a P-FAIMS taking into account the main factors involved in their movement. Three different compounds, with high impact on security applications, have been studied: an explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotouluene (TNT−H)⁻, a volatile organic compound Ac₂H⁺ and a chemical warfare agent simulant DMMPH⁺ that emulates gas sarin. Displacement simulations along the P-FAIMS of theirs vapour phase ions have been done at different values of drift electric field amplitude to gas number density (E/N) ratio. Ions were selected between the ones present in the literature that covers the previous applications and the ones with more reliable experimental data of the main parameters involved in the definition of ions mobility needed for their analysis. Results show that simulations of ions behaviour in a P-FAIMS are possible with COMSOL Multiphysics software and that the time and intensity at which ions are detected are in good agreement with an experimental data in the literature.
