Chemical Sensors : Simulation and Modeling: Optical Sensors

Chemical Sensors: Simulation and Modeling: Optical Sensors, is the fourth of a new multi-volume comprehensive reference work that provides computer simulation and modeling techniques in various fields of chemical sensing and the important applications for chemical sensing such as bulk and surface diffusion, adsorption, surface reactions, sintering, conductivity, mass transport, and interphase interactions.

In this fourth volume, you will find background and guidance on:

• Approaches used for modeling and simulation of various types of optical sensors such as fiber optic, surface plasmon resonance, Fabry-Pérot interferometers, transmittance in the midinfrared region, luminescence-based devices, and more.
• Approaches used for design and optimization of optical systems aimed for both remote gas sensing and gas analysis chambers for the nondispersive infrared (NDIR) spectral range.
• Multiscale atomistic simulation of hierarchical nanostructured materials for optical chemical sensing.

Chemical sensors are integral to the automation of myriad industrial processes and everyday monitoring of such activities as public safety, engine performance, medical therapeutics, and many more. This multi volume reference work covering simulation and modeling will serve as the perfect complement to Momentum Press’s 6 volume reference work, Chemical Sensors: Fundamentals of Sensing Materials and Chemical Sensors: Comprehensive Sensor Technologies, which present detailed information related to materials, technologies, construction, and application of various devices for chemical sensing. Each simulation and modeling volume in the present series reviews modeling principles and approaches peculiar to specific groups of materials and devices applied for chemical sensing.

Ghenadii Korotcenkov received his PhD in Physics and Technology of Semiconductor Materials and Devices in 1976, and his Habilitate Degree (Dr.Sci.) in Physics and Mathematics of Semiconductors and Dielectrics in 1990. For many years, he was a leader of the Gas Sensor Group, and manager of various national and international scientific and engineering projects carried out in the Laboratory of Micro- and Optoelectronics, Technical University of Moldova. Currently, Dr. Korotcenkov is a research Professor at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, Republic of Korea. His research has included significant work on Schottky barriers, MOS structures, native oxides, and photo receivers on the base of III-Vs compounds. He continues with research in various aspects of materials sciences and surface science, with a particular focus on nanostructured metal oxides and solid state gas sensor design. Dr. Korotcenkov is the author or editor of eleven books and special issues, eleven invited review papers, seventeen book chapters, and more than 190 peer-reviewed articles. His research activities have been honored with the Award of the Supreme Council of Science and Advanced Technology of the Republic of Moldova (2004) and The Prize of the Presidents of the Ukrainian, Belarus and Moldovan Academies of Sciences (2003), among many others.
