Summary
Integrated silicon carbide nanosensors for monitoring extreme environment. This project aims to develop a highly sensitive and reliable sensing platform for structural health monitoring in harsh environments, encompassing high temperature, corrosion, and shock. These conditions have been posing several technical challenges to sensing and electronic devices. The project elucidates the piezoresistive and thermoresistive effects in silicon carbide nanowires, which are the building blocks of robust ....Integrated silicon carbide nanosensors for monitoring extreme environment. This project aims to develop a highly sensitive and reliable sensing platform for structural health monitoring in harsh environments, encompassing high temperature, corrosion, and shock. These conditions have been posing several technical challenges to sensing and electronic devices. The project elucidates the piezoresistive and thermoresistive effects in silicon carbide nanowires, which are the building blocks of robust mechanical and thermal sensors used in extreme conditions. The findings from this project expect to provide Australia with the cutting-edge expertise necessary for developing next-generation monitoring systems in the extreme environments of the oil/gas transportation, mining, automobile, and space exploration industries.Read moreRead less
