| Advancement level
(A-D): C
|
|||
| Aim: The course will give an overview of chemical sensor science and technology including important definitions like sensor response, speed of response, cross sensitivity. The principles are given for a number of chemical sensors, both sensors used in industry in sensor systems (electronic noses) and sensors still in the research laboratory. The course will focus on detection mechanisms for chemical sensors and the students are encouraged to find new types of sensors in litterature. The course contains two laboratory exercises. |
|||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) The basic physics courses of the first two years of the Physics programme (or comparable courses). Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding. |
|||
| Supplementary courses: TFMT06 Contemporary Sensor Systems, TFMT03 Sensorteknik, TFYY38 Bioanalytiska metoder och elektroniska näsor, ETE275 Biosensorteknik |
|||
| Organisation: The course is given together with the net based course ETE274 Kemisk sensorvetenskap och teknologi, that is a number of net based lectures with questions are available. Further teaching is given as a mix of lectures (six lectures divided over three Saturdays) and supervised self studies, reported in written reports and oral presentations. Two half day laboratory exercises (2x4 h). |
|||
| Course contents: Sensor science and technology: Important issues like gas response, response time, cross sensitivity, selectivity is defined. Detection mechanisms, sensor principles and applications of a number of chemical sensors are described. Lab exercises: Demonstration of equipment and testing of how a chemical sensor is characterized in a relevant and proper way. |
|||
| Course literature: Netbased lectures and questions. Review papers and book chapters are distributed during the course. Individual search of sensor papers in data bases. |
|||
| Examination: | |||
| Two laboratory works Written reports and oral presentations Optional oral examination for higher grade |
1 p 4 p 0 p |
||
| The written reports and the oral presentations only give U, 3, 4. An oral exam (not mandatory) may increase the grade one step | |||
