Abstract

Photonic crystals and band gap materials act as manipulators of light and have a plethora of applications. They are made up of stacks of alternating dielectric constants. This article shows the simulations of an inclined, one dimensional and tuneble photonic crystal, using numerical finite element methods. The photonic crystal was made up of silver nanoparticles embedded in a hydrogel matrix and it has the ability to change and recover its periodicity. A series of factors concerning the geometry of the lattice were tested in order to analyze the efficiency, performance and optimize the properties of the optical sensor. These factors range from the size of the nanoparticles and their density within the stacks, to observing the effect of diffraction angle in readouts.

  • Transient materials have been developed for pH and electrophysiological sensing.

    “In a recent study, transient materials have been developed for pH and electrophysiological sensing (Figure 3b,c).91”

    From Wearables in Medicine (2018) · cites this paper as [91]

    The Methods section (page unavailable) describes fabricated hydrogel sensors that respond to pH, supporting the pH-sensing part. The paper reports simulations of tunable photonic crystals, not the development of transient materials, and the passages found do not address electrophysiological sensing (searched: transient materials, electrophysiological sensing).

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.
