Nanoparticle films as sensitive strain gauges
Abstract
We demonstrate that thin films consisting of cross-linked nanoparticle aggregates function as highly sensitive strain gauges. The sensors exploit the exponential dependence of the interparticle tunnel resistance on the particle separation. Their sensitivity (gauge factor) is two orders of magnitude higher than that of conventional metal foil gauges and rivals that of state-of-the-art semiconductor gauges. We describe the strain gauge behavior in a tunneling model that predicts the dependence of the gauge factor on several parameters, in particular, the nanoparticle size, the interparticle separation gap, and the conductance of the linker molecules.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
