High-Performance Monolithic Sensor Technology for Corrosive Environments

基于我最近在巨大热阻/压电阻方面的发现，该项目旨在加深对基础知识的了解，并使高性能碳化硅传感器的开发成为可能。该项目利用这些知识的进步来开发新的传感器，其灵敏度比传统传感器高出数千倍。该项目开发了多个传感器和光收集单元，以集成到一个可以在腐蚀性环境中运行的单片平台。传感器技术可用于监测结构健康、减少结构失效和延长结构寿命，为对澳大利亚特别重要的石化和采矿行业提供尖端知识。

Based on my recent discovery on giant thermo-/piezo-resistance, this project aims to enhance fundamental understanding and enable the development of high performance silicon carbide based sensors. The project employs these knowledge advancements to develop new sensors with a sensitivity of thousand-fold larger than that of conventional sensors. The project develops multiple sensors and light harvesting cells to be integrated into a monolithic platform that can function in corrosive environments. The sensor technology can be utilised for monitoring structural health, reducing failure and extending lifetime of structures, providing cutting-edge knowledge to petrochemical and mining industries which are of particular importance to Australia.
