In this study, an innovative rugate filter configuration porous silicon (PSi) with enhanced photoluminescence intensity was fabricated. The fabricated PSi exhibited dual optical properties with both sharp optical reflectivity and sharp photoluminescence (PL), and it was developed for use in organic vapor sensing. When the wavelength of the resonance peak from the rugate PSi filters is engineered to overlap with the emission band of the PL from the PSi quantum dots, the PL intensity is amplified, thus reducing the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the PL band from 154 nm to 22 nm. The rugate PSi filters samples were fabricated by electrochemical etching of highly doped n-type silicon under illumination. The etching solution consisted of a 1:1 volume mixture of 48% hydrofluoric acid and absolute ethanol and photoluminescent rugate PSi filter was fabricated by etching while using a periodic sinusoidal wave current with 10 cycles. The obtained samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and both reflection redshift and PL quenching were measured under exposure to organic vapors. The reflection redshift and PL quenching were both affected by the vapor pressure and dipole moment of the organic species.

Chemiresistive sensors fabricated by oleylamine-functionalized palladium nanoparticles (OLA-PdNP) have been studied in hydrogen sensing, but not so much in organic vapor sensing. Like the extensively studied gold nanoparticles-based gas sensors, palladium nanoparticles also give the ease of surface modification and large surface-area-to-volume ratio. In this study, we demonstrate an OLA-PdNP chemiresistor array with robust sensor responses (1-15% of ΔR/R0) and accurate discrimination of six organic vapors at a concentration of p/p0 = 0.2, using principal component analysis (PCA). Each microfabricated 36 mm2 chip has 36 individual sensors. By incorporating multiple sensors on one chip, the sensor response gives a distinguishable pattern for each analyte. From this study, an electronic chemical spectrometer can be further developed by incorporating many types of ligands on palladium metal core to enhance sensor accuracy and precision.

Abstract Zinc(II) phthalocyanine (Zn(II)Pc) molecule was the first time prepared onto three different substrates utilizing Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) deposition technique to investigate its vapor sensing abilities and some optical properties. We utilized five different and well-known techniques to control monolayer quality of Zn(II)Pc LB film. The obtained the thickness and refractive index values for Zn(II)Pc LB film with coated at different layers vary from 3.2 to 10.9 nm and from 1.42 to 1.71, respectively. The sensing properties were investigated by exposing the Zn(II)Pc-based mass or optical sensor to some organic vapors. Kinetic results presented that this Zn(II)Pc material is a good candidate as a sensor element with a fast and reversible response for dichloromethane sensing devices.

We calculated diffraction efficiencies of grating structures inspired byMorphobutterfly wings by using a rigorous coupled-wave analysis method. The geometrical effects, such as grating width, period, thickness, and material index, were investigated in order to obtain better optical performance. Closely packed grating structures with an optimized membrane thickness show vivid reflected colors and provide high sensitivity to surrounding media variations, which is applicable to vapor sensing or healthcare indicators.Morphostructures with high index materials such as zinc sulfide or gallium phosphide generate white color caused by broadband reflection that can be used as reflected light sources for display applications.
