On the project

The objectives of this project are 1) development of TNT membranes with different HAR that provide high surface area within the active region of microwave resonators. 2) Integration of TNT membranes coated by metal oxides (e.g. SnO2) using ALD for increasing the performance of the sensors via enhanced sensitivity and suitable energy level alignment between the metal oxide and TiO2 structure. The capability of the sensor for UV detection could offer additial advantages in specific industrial applications in health and cancer research.
