High Element Gold Nanorod Plasmonic Sensing Array For Harsh Environment Gas Detection Grant Proposal, Brian Janiszweski
High Element Gold Nanorod Plasmonic Sensing Array For Harsh Environment Gas Detection Grant Proposal, Brian Janiszweski
Nanoscale Science & Engineering (discontinued with class year 2014)
In order to acquire funding for scientific endeavors very specific grant proposal documents must be written and submitted. The following is an example of that. This project was very useful because my peers and I will undoubtedly have to write a grant of some type or another in our future careers. This specific proposal is a mock grant requesting money from the National Science Foundation to fund research into a gas sensor that utilizes gold nanostructures as sensing mechanism. The research done behind this project was performed over three semesters in the lab of Dr. Michael Carpenter form the College …
Plasmonic-Based High Temperature Chemical Sensing Using Gold Nanoparticles Embedded In Metal Oxide Thin Films, Nicholas Joy
Plasmonic-Based High Temperature Chemical Sensing Using Gold Nanoparticles Embedded In Metal Oxide Thin Films, Nicholas Joy
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Thin metal oxide films embedded with Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been investigated as high temperature localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) based sensing materials to monitor H2, CO, and NO2 at a temperature of 500°C. Applications for this technology include turbine engines as well as other combustion environments where it is important to monitor emission gases for both regulatory purposes as well as combustion control. These high temperature applications, which may be oxidizing or reducing in nature, present challenges to sensor reliability and selectivity, and have therefore necessitated the development of novel sensing devices. While there has been …
