Abstract
Artificial periodic structures drew a lot of attention because of their ability to be built with novel acoustic features. A novel nanostructured phononic superlattice (NPhS) based two-dimensional multilayer structure as a high-sensitive multichannel liquid sensor that provided bright multichannel band gap windows has been introduced. Theoretically, the designed structure is composed of [(MoS2/PtSe2)4] NPhS with a cavity filled with different concentrations of Ethylene Glycol at room temperature toward acoustic bandgap engineering multichannel sensor. We examined the interaction of acoustic waves with nano and bulk phononic superlattice (PhS) structures. In addition, we studied the effect of using different analyte layer thicknesses on the resonance peaks that appeared inside the band gaps. Many sharp resonance peaks appeared in multi-band gaps, which introduced high sensitivity, Q-factor, and figure of merit (FOM) values for each concentration of Ethylene Glycol. Furthermore, the effect of resonance peaks' full width at half maximum (FWHM) on the Q-factor of the NPhS multichannel sensor has been studied. From our results, the relation between the sensitivity of our multichannel sensor and the resonance frequency of each concentration shows a linear behavior. The highest sensitivity was obtained for a 1.00 m% concentration of 0.21 (GHz/(kg/m3)) at a resonance frequency value of 0.21 THz. In addition, the NPhS multichannel sensor recorded the highest Q-factor for 0.8069 m% with a value of 1744 and the highest FOM for 0.3819 m% with a value of 0.05988 (m3/kg). Moreover, we studied the effect of temperature on the sensitivity of the NPhS multichannel sensor. We showed the highest sensitivity value of 1.79 (GHz/o C) at 10 °C towards Ethylene Glycol. Further, the dispersion relation of an acoustic wave propagating inside perfect and defected nano and bulk PhS structures has been introduced. Our proposed multichannel liquid sensor can introduce a novel sensitivity at Terahertz frequency ranges.
