Interdigitated electrodes (IDEs) based sensors have the advantages of being rapid and accurate in electrochemical detection area. In this paper, simulation research on IDEs-based impedance water solution is performed, electric field distribution under different sizes (pairs, finger width, spacing) compared, while corresponding calculated. As a result, optimal size IDEs (pairs=10, spacing =0.1 m...

Resistive switching properties of silver nanoparticles hosted in an insulating polymer matrix (poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) are reported. Planar devices structures using interdigitated gold electrodes were fabricated. These devices have on/off resistance ratio as high as 10 , retention times reaching to months and good endurance cycles. Temperature-dependent measurements show that the charge tra...

A photoconductive effect is observed in tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) or amorphous diamond films with a high proportion of sp3 bonding and a structure analogous to amorphous silicon. The spectral response is shown to peak at around 750400 nm and extend into the near UV region. The maximum photoresponse coincides wit.h the optical absorption edge. The quantum efficiency of 300 nm thick fil...

We report the formation of thin anisotropic phase gratings in a nematic liquid-crystalline film by use of lateral (fringing) electric fields induced by transparent interdigitated electrodes. These gratings yield high diffraction efficiency (>30%) with a strong dependence on the readout beam incidence angle. In addition, the formation of a defect wall is observed that has a significant effect on...

This study describes an integrated NH3 sensor based on a hydrogenated nanocrystalline diamond (NCD)-sensitive layer coated on an interdigitated electrode structure. The gas sensing properties of the sensor structure were examined using a reducing gas (NH3) at room temperature and were found to be dependent on the electrode arrangement. A pronounced response of the sensor, which was comprised of...

In recent years wearable devices have attracted significant attention. Flexibility and stretchability are required for comfortable wear of such devices. In this paper, we report flexible and stretchable touch sensors with two different patterns (interdigitated and diamond-shaped capacitors). The touch sensors were made of screen-printed silver nanowire electrodes embedded in polydimethylsiloxan...
