Tunneling Mechanism Based Sensors Response Sensor response S1 %RH
Large Magnitude Negative Responses? S3 Sensor response %RH These sensors were fabricated from the same solution, the only difference: dry environment during drop casting
Sensors Responses to Analytes 2-Ethylhexanol Decane All the sensors have a positive response of a few percent to polar and un-polar analytes High magnitude, negative responses occurs only in the present of water vapors
Electrical Characteristics Sensor response Sensor response %RH %RH S3 S1 Sensor with negative responses have a I-V hysteresis in the present of water vapors
High magnitude, negative responses occurs only in the present of water vapors • Sensors with high magnitude, negative responses are perforated. • Tunneling is probably not the main mechanism for these responses Could water ionization on SiO surface control the responses?
