Abstract: The present disclosure provides a high-resolution graphene heterojunction based pressure sensor. The present disclosure relates to the technical field of pressure sensor design. The present disclosure uses a graphene/hexagonal boron nitride/graphene (G/h-BN/G) vertical heterojunction thin film as a pressure-sensitive diaphragm. A sensor substrate has a micro-nano arrayed concave cavity structure. Under the action of atmospheric pressure, the G/h-BN/G vertical heterojunction thin film generates localized internal stress, which changes an energy band structure of the vertical heterojunction thin film, and thus changes a tunneling current between the two upper and lower graphene layers, thereby reflecting the external atmospheric pressure changes. The principle of the graphene heterojunction based pressure sensor is based on tunneling effect.

Abstract: Methods are provided for the detection of an analyte in a sample using wavelength modulated differential photothermal radiometry with enhanced sensitivity. A wavelength modulated differential photothermal radiometry system, comprising two optical modulated beams, where each beam experiences different absorption by the analyte, is calibrated by controlling the relative phase difference between the modulated beams so that individual photothermal signals corresponding to each modulated beam are 180° out of phase, corresponding to peak sensitivity to analyte concentration. The system may be further calibrated by varying the relative intensities of the two modulated beams and measuring standards containing known analyte concentration in order to determine an optimal relative intensity for a given concentration range of interest.
