Patent number: 11984447Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a detector configured to output a signal associated with one or more interactions with subatomic particles. The detector comprises a sensor comprising a first diode comprising first semiconductor material abutting a first metal and forming a first junction, wherein the sensor is configured to be exposed to subatomic particles and a voltage reference member configured to generate a reference measurement. The sensor and the voltage reference member form a bandgap reference circuit. The present disclosure also provides methods for detecting subatomic particles from a solid-state detector comprising a first Schottky diode in electrical communication with a reference voltage member comprising a parallel circuit of two or more second Schottky diodes, wherein the first Schottky diode is configured to be exposed to subatomic particles and the second Schottky diodes of the reference voltage member are configured to generate a reference measurement.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Georgia Tech Research CorporationInventors: Elaine Rhoades, Aaron S. Green, William Daniel Hunt

Patent number: 6161437Abstract: The present invention is directed to a combined SAW sensor and a SPR sensor for evaluating an analyte, as well as a novel method for evaluating an analyte by utilizing a surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor to determine the mass of the analyte and utilizing a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor to determine the permittivity of the analyte. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, an apparatus is provided for evaluating an analyte. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a piezoelectric substrate, a SAW sensor disposed on the substrate, and a SPR sensor disposed on the substrate in close proximity to the SAW sensor. In another embodiment, the apparatus more broadly includes a SAW sensor and a SPR sensor coupled to the surface acoustic wave sensor. In a preferred embodiment, the apparatus the SAW sensor includes two interdigital transducers and a chemically sensitive film interposed between the two interdigital transducers.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 1999Date of Patent: December 19, 2000Assignee: Georgia Tech Research CorporationInventors: Kevin F.
