Micro And Nano Scale Sensors And Transducers (Hb 2015) Hardcover

"Micro- and Nano-Scale Sensors and Transducers" provides an in-depth overview of the latest advancements in sensor and transducer technology, particularly in the rapidly developing fields of nanotechnology and nano-fabrication. Unlike many other books, this one focuses on recent breakthroughs in micro and nano-scale sensors, offering a clear comparison between new and traditional sensor technologies. It explores the design and applications of cutting-edge pressure sensors used for measuring mechanical, gas, and atmospheric pressure, as well as innovative motion and acceleration sensors. The book also covers highly sensitive miniature gas and smoke sensors based on nano-structured electrodes and introduces novel methods for detecting moisture in both the atmosphere and small electronic components. In addition, it delves into optoelectronic and photonic sensors, multi-purpose biological and chemical analysis devices (Lab on a Chip), and advanced chemical and biological sensors. Furthermore, it includes discussions on electric, magnetic, and RF/microwave sensors, as well as integrated sensor/actuator units and specialized sensors. Each chapter includes quizzes and answers to reinforce learning.
