Introduction to Sensors

Chromatic Monitoring of Complex Conditions Edited by

John Vetelino and Aravind Reghu

G.R. Jones, A.G. Deakin, and J.W. Spencer

University of Maine, Orono, USA

University of Liverpool, UK

Introduction to Sensors examines the theoretical foundations and practical applications of electrochemical, piezoelectric, fiber-optic, thermal, and magnetic sensors and their use in the modern era. It incorporates information from sensor-based industries to review current developments in the field.

Taking a practical approach that utilizes many examples and graphs, this volume shows how chromatic analysis is useful for investigating diverse complex systems and processing large amounts of information about system behavior, from direct physical parameters to holistic system overviews. It presents the origin and methodology of chromaticity, before delving into the various applications of chromatic methods, including electrical plasmas, industrial liquids, broadband interferometry and polarimetry, biological tissues and fluids, the environment, and acoustical and vibration signals.

The magnetic sensors presented are used to determine measurands, such as the magnetic field and semiconductor properties, including carrier concentration and mobility. Offering the human body and the automobile as examples of entities that rely on a multiplicity of sensors, the authors address the application of various types of sensors, as well as the theory and background information associated with their development and the materials used in their design. The coverage in the book reveals the underlying rationale for the application of different sensors while also defining the properties and characteristics of each.

Features • Presents a complete sensor system that includes the preparation phase, the sensing element and platform, and appropriate electronics resulting in a digital readout • Discusses solid-state electronic sensors, such as the metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) capacitor, the micromachined capacitive polymer, and the Schottky diode sensors • Uses the two-dimensional hexagonal lattice as an example to detail the basic theory associated with piezoelectricity • Explores the fundamental relationship between stress, strain, electric field, and electric displacement
