α-Fe2O3 nanorods have been prepared at low temperature by a facile surfactant free chemical route. The advantage of this method is good composition control and homogeneity. The products were characterized using various physicochemical characterization techniques such as X-ray Diffractometry, Raman spectroscopy, UV-Visible spectroscopy and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy. These powders were further studied for their humidity sensing performance. The sensors exhibited quick responses for change in the humidity. The resistance systematically varies by four orders of magnitude on exposure to humidity from 20 to 90 % RH.

In this paper we show a novel chemo-mechanical-optical sensing mechanism in single and multi-layer hydrogel coated Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) and demonstrate specific application in pH activated processes. The sensing device is based on the ionizable monomers inside the hydrogel which reversibly dissociates as a function of the pH and consequently resulting in osmotic pressure difference between the gel and the solution. This pressure gradient causes the hydrogel to deform which in turn induces secondary strain on the FBG sensor resulting in shift in the Bragg wavelength. We also report on the sensitivity factor of single and multilayer hydrogel coated FBG at various different pH.

Low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC)-technology, which is widely used for packaging and manufacturing high frequency RF components, is used for fabrication of micro-hotplates (MHP). Gas sensors produced using this technology leads to low power consumption (500 mW for 226 °C) due to low thermal conductivity (3–4 W/(m-K)). For small series, this technology is remarkably inexpensive compared to the expensive silicon technology. Thermal properties such as temperature distribution and power consumption have been investigated using FEM (Finite Element Method) simulations. Mathematical modeling of these hotplates is also done in accordance with the simulated results.

In this paper, fiber Bragg grating (FBG) array incorporating three FBGs in SMG-28 fiber with distinct centre wavelengths at 1545.01 nm, 1550.03 nm and 1555.03 nm has been investigated for multipoint sensing of monotonic temperature fields. The response and sensitivity of the commercially available FBG array is compared with OptiGrating 4.2.1 simulations. The findings can be used for optimizing the key parameters of FBG array sensor for cost effective and spectrally enhanced multipoint and distributed sensors.

Copper substituted NiZn ferrite powder of a chemical formula Ni0.5−xCuxZn0.5Fe2O4 (0≤ × ≤0.3) is synthesized by auto combustion process at 350°C followed by the calcination at 600, 900 and 1000°C for 2h. The derived powder shows well distinct total seven peaks of cubic spinel structure with space group Fdℨ̅m. The considerable increments in the lattice constant and the reduction in an average crystallite sizes are observed with increasing the Cu content. At the optimal condition of x = 0.1, the crystallite size as small as 26 nm and the coercivity as high as 158 Oe is obtained in samples calcined at 600°C. The dielectric (έ, ε″, and tanδ) analyses show the frequency sensitive behavior in the low frequency region and the frequency independent characteristics at high frequency side due to the Maxwell-Wagner type of interfacial polarization and also due to hopping of charges between Fe2+ ↔Fe3+. The highest dielectric constant ∼ 48 at 1 kHz and the lowest dielectric loss ∼ 0.06 at 4 MHz are obtained in the studied frequency range, whereas the maximum frequency sensing response ∼ 92% is observed at 4 MHz in same sample.

Nominal compositions of general formula In2−xMnxO3−δ were prepared by solid-state route and their electrical conductivity and hydrogen sensing characteristics were investigated. With manganese addition, the conductivity was found to increase initially and then decrease while the activation energy for the conduction process was increasing. In1.99Mn0.01O3-δ, In1.985Mn0.015O3-δ, In1.98Mn0.02O3-δ were found to sense 100 vppm to 2 % of hydrogen at 623 K. Preliminary results indicated the possibility of two types of gas sensing mechanisms operating at low and high concentrations of hydrogen in air.
