SENSORS AND DEVICES
CHE3SEN
2014
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
CHE3SEN is a required subject for Nanotechnology students but is also available to B. Sc. and other students. Learning activities within the subject include lectures, tutorials, and projects conducted within a research laboratory setting. Students will study many aspects of contemporary sensing theory and practice and the device technologies required for real world implementation. Part A) Sensors & Electrochemistry: electrochemical principles, general concepts of chemical sensing, amperometric sensors, lab-on-a-chip miniaturisation. Part B) Surface chemistry: the role of second order interactions and the chemical potential in chemical processes, including solubility, miscibility and solvent extraction, will be explored. Interactions on and between surfaces and interfaces will be also described with implications in catalysis and sensing.
