Fano resonance in one-dimensional quasiperiodic topological phononic crystals towards a stable and high-performance sensing tool. Sci Rep 2024; 14:12067. [PMID: 38802403 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-62268-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Phononic crystals (PnCs) emerge as an innovative sensor technology, especially for high-performance sensing applications. This study strives to advance this field by developing new designs of PnC structures that exhibit stability in the face of construction imperfections and deformations, focusing on the evolution of topological PnCs (TPnCs). These designs could be promising to overcome the problem of instability involved in most of the theoretical PnC sensors when they emerge in experimental verification. In particular, the fabrication process of any design could collide with some fluctuations in controlling the size of each component. Thus, Fano resonance is introduced through a one-dimensional (1D) quasiperiodic TPnC. To the best of the author's knowledge, this study is the first to observe Fano modes in liquid cavities through 1D PnCs. Various quasiperiodic PnC designs are employed to detect the temperature of alcohols (specifically propanol) across an extensive temperature range (160-240 °C). The effects of many geometrical parameters on the sensor stability, such as material thicknesses, are studied. Numerical findings demonstrated that the designed quasiperiodic topological PnCs based on Fibonacci sequence of the second order proved superior performance. This sensing tool provides sensitivity, quality factor and figure-of-merit values of 104,533.33 Hz/°C, 223.69 and 0.5221 (/°C), respectively, through temperature detection of propanol in the range of 160-240 °C.

Abstract
This study investigates using the phononic crystal with periodically closed resonators as a greenhouse gas sensor. The transfer matrix and green methods are used to investigate the dispersion relation theoretically and numerically. A linear acoustic design is proposed, and the waveguides are filled with gas samples. At the center of the structure, a defect resonator is used to excite an acoustic resonant peak inside the phononic bandgap. The localized acoustic peak is shifted to higher frequencies by increasing the acoustic speed and decreasing the density of gas samples. The sensitivity, transmittance of the resonant peak, bandwidth, and figure of merit are calculated at different geometrical conditions to select the optimum dimensions. The proposed closed resonator gas sensor records a sensitivity of 4.1 Hz m-1 s, a figure of merit of 332 m-1 s, a quality factor of 113,962, and a detection limit of 0.0003 m s-1. As a result of its high performance and simplicity, the proposed design can significantly contribute to gas sensors and bio-sensing applications.

A promising ultra-sensitive CO 2 sensor at varying concentrations and temperatures based on Fano resonance phenomenon in different 1D phononic crystal designs. Sci Rep 2023; 13:15028.

Abstract
Detecting of the levels of greenhouse gases in the air with high precision and low cost is a very urgent demand for environmental protection. Phononic crystals (PnCs) represent a novel sensor technology, particularly for high-performance sensing applications. This study has been conducted by using two PnC designs (periodic and quasi-periodic) to detect the CO2 pollution in the surrounding air through a wide range of concentrations (0-100%) and temperatures (0-180 °C). The detection process is physically dependent on the displacement of Fano resonance modes. The performance of the sensor is demonstrated for the periodic and Fibonacci quasi-periodic (S3 and S4 sequences) structures. In this regard, the numerical findings revealed that the periodic PnC provides a better performance than the quasi-periodic one with a sensitivity of 31.5 MHz, the quality factor (Q), along with a figure of merit (FOM) of 280 and 95, respectively. In addition, the temperature effects on the Fano resonance mode position were examined. The results showed a pronounced temperature sensitivity with a value of 13.4 MHz/°C through a temperature range of 0-60 °C. The transfer matrix approach has been utilized for modeling the acoustic wave propagation through each PnC design. Accordingly, the proposed sensor has the potential to be implemented in many industrial and biomedical applications as it can be used as a monitor for other greenhouse gases.

Abstract
The resonant acoustic band gap materials have introduced an innovative generation of sensing technology. Based on the local resonant transmitted peaks, this study aims to comprehensively investigate the use of periodic and quasi-periodic one-dimension (1D) layered phononic crystals (PnCs) as a highly sensitive biosensor for the detection and monitoring of sodium iodide (NaI) solution. Meanwhile, a defect layer is introduced defect layer inside the phononic crystal designs to be filled with NaI solution. The proposed biosensor is developed based on the periodic PnCs structure and quasi-periodic PnCs structure. The numerical findings demonstrated that the quasi-periodic PnCs structure provided a wide phononic band gap and a large sensitivity compared to the periodic one. Moreover, many resonance peaks through the transmission spectra are introduced for the quasi-periodic design. The results also show that the resonant peak frequency changes effectively with varying NaI solution concentrations in the third sequence of the quasi-periodic PnCs structure. The sensor can differentiate between concentrations ranging from 0 to 35% with a 5% step, which is extremely satisfying for precise detection and can contribute to a variety of issues in medical applications. Additionally, the sensor provided excellent performance for all the concentrations of the NaI solution. For instance, the sensor has a sensitivity of 959 MHz, a quality factor of 6947, a very low damping factor of 7.19 × 10-5, and a figure of merit of 323.529.

Abstract
In this paper, a photonic spin Hall effect (PSHE) sensor for high-precision refractive index (RI) detection and graphene layer number detection is proposed. Numerical analysis is performed by the transfer matrix method. The graphene material is introduced into the layered topology to stimulate the generation of PSHE phenomenon, and both H polarization and V polarization displacements occur simultaneously. The effects of parameters such as chemical potential, relaxation time, and external temperature on the PSHE shift are also discussed. The displacement of H polarization can be used for RI detection, and the measurement range (MR), sensitivity (S), figure of merit (FOM), and detection limit (DL) are 1.1-1.5, 127.85 degrees/RIU, 2412, and 2.08×10-5, respectively. The superior sensing performance provides a theoretical possibility for the detection of solids, liquids, and gases. The shift characteristic of V polarization is appropriate for detecting the number of layers in graphene, with a MR and S of 1-9 layers and 4.54 degrees/layer. The impacts of dielectric loss on sensor performance are also considered. We hope that the proposed PSHE multifunctional sensor can improve a theoretical idea for novel sensor design.

Abstract
Corrosion-induced iron rust causes severe danger, pollution, and economic problems. In this work, nanopowders of Fe2O3 and Fe2O3/zeolite are synthesized for the first time using rusted iron waste and natural zeolite heulandite by chemical precipitation. The chemical composition, nanomorphologies, structural parameters, and optical behaviors are investigated using different techniques. The Fe2O3/zeolite nanocomposite showed smaller sizes and greater light absorption capability in visible light than Fe2O3 nanopowder. The XRD pattern shows crystalline hematite (α-Fe2O3) with a rhombohedral structure. The crystallite sizes for the plane (104) of the Fe2O3 and Fe2O3/zeolite are 64.84 and 56.53 nm, respectively. The Fe2O3 and Fe2O3/zeolite have indirect bandgap values of 1.87 and 1.91 eV and direct bandgap values of 2.04 and 2.07 eV, respectively. Fe2O3 and Fe2O3/zeolite nanophotocatalysts are used for solar photoelectrochemical (PEC) hydrogen production. The Fe2O3/zeolite exhibits a PEC catalytic hydrogen production rate of 154.45 mmol/g.h @ 1 V in 0.9 M KOH solution, which is the highest value yet for Fe2O3-based photocatalysts. The photocurrent density of Fe2O3/zeolite is almost two times that of Fe2O3 catalyst, and the IPCE (incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency) reached ~27.34%@307 nm and 1 V. The electrochemical surface area (ECSA) values for Fe2O3 and Fe2O3/zeolite photocatalysts were 7.414 and 21.236 m2/g, respectively. The rate of hydrogen production for Fe2O3/zeolite was 154.44 mmol h-1/g. This nanophotocatalyst has a very low PEC corrosion rate of 7.6 pm/year; it can retain ~97% of its initial performance. Therefore, the present research can be applied industrially as a cost-effective technique to address two issues at once by producing solar hydrogen fuel and recycling the rusted iron wires.
