Springer Series in Surface Sciences: Theoretical Models and Advanced Sensor Structures

Jakubik, Wiesław

This textbook covers key aspects of applying surface acoustic waves (SAW) in gas sensors, presenting fundamental operating principles, theoretical models, research methodologies, and sensor structures in a clear and accessible manner. It discusses single, bilayer, and multilayer sensor structures, along with a detailed theoretical description of the acoustoelectrical effect in bilayer sensors. Special attention is given to semiconductor-metal bilayer structures, such as phthalocyanine-palladium and tungsten oxide-palladium, due to their strong potential for practical applications in SAW hydrogen sensors. The book also explores future applications and research directions, including advancements in light-activated photoconductive polymer structures.
