High-Performance Monolithic Sensor Technology for Corrosive Environments

基于我最近对巨型热/压阻的发现，该项目旨在加强对高性能碳化硅传感器的基本理解和开发。该项目利用这些知识进步来开发新的传感器，其灵敏度比传统传感器大上千倍。 该项目开发了多个传感器和光收集单元，将其集成到一个可以在腐蚀性环境中工作的单片平台中。传感器技术可用于监测结构健康，减少故障和延长结构寿命，为石化和采矿业提供尖端知识，这对澳大利亚特别重要。

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.
