Abstract
An optically detectable gas sensor based on the high surface sensitivity of functionalized polyethylenimine/starch In0.15Ga0.85N/GaN strained semiconductor multiple quantum wells (MQWs) has been developed. Due to the excellent piezoelectricity of the MQWs, the change of surface charges caused by chemical interaction can introduce a strain and induce an internal field. In turn, it tilts the energy levels of the MQWs and modifies the optical properties. Through the measurement of the changes in photoluminescence as well as Raman scattering spectra under different concentrations of carbon dioxide gas, we demonstrate the feasibility and high sensitivity of the sensors derived from our methodology.
