Solid-State Detector for Trace Materials

Abstract

Detector for trace chemicals senses as few as 10 to the 12th power molecules of given material on surface. Contains no moving parts, amenable to large-scale integration, and operates at room temperature. Potential applications in industrial process control and in environmental analysis. Characteristic signals indicate presence of certain chemicals.
