Investigation of hybrid phase change materials by dielectric and impedance spectroscopy
The central goal of this project is the development of a universal bio- and chemosensing device that allows combining three complementary, label-free sensing techniques: Impedance spectroscopy is sensitive for the dielectric properties of biological or inorganic target particles, the heat-transfer method (HTM) assesses their thermal transport properties and microgravimetry (QCM) reveals the mass of the targeted particles. Simultaneous ...
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is an established technique for probing the conductive and dielectric properties of matter in wide frequency ranges. Applications are numerous and cover the determination of salinity of sea water equally well as the detection of neurotransmitters and proteins in food- and blood samples. The applicants have found a ‘thermal counterpart’ to impedance spectroscopy in 2012 in which the electrical ...
Cochlear Implants (CI) are a proven surgical solution to treat perceptive auditory problems. CIs are composed of an external microphone and a sound processor that sends electrical signals to a platinum electrode array in the cochlea, the organ where the auditory hair cells and nerves are located. These electric signals directly trigger local neurons, bypassing the conventional hearing pathway, and restoring hearing by stimulation.
The ...
