Esophageal Mucosal Impedance Assessment for the Diagnosis of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.

Diagnosing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is sometimes challenging because the performance of available tests is not entirely satisfactory. This study aims to directly measure the esophageal mucosal impedance during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for the diagnosis of GERD. Sixty participants with typical symptoms of GERD underwent high-resolution esophageal manometry, 24-hour multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH monitoring, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, and mucosal impedance measurement. Mucosal impedance measurement was performed at 2, 5, 10, and 18 cm above the esophagogastric junction during gastrointestinal endoscopy using a specific catheter developed based on devices described in the literature over the last decade. The patients were divided into groups A (acid exposure time < 4%) and B (acid exposure time ≥ 4%). The mucosal impedance was significantly lower in group B at 2 cm (2264.4 Ω ± 1099.0 vs 4575.0 Ω ± 1407.6 [group A]) and 5 cm above the esophagogastric junction (4221.2 Ω ± 2623.7 vs 5888.2 Ω ± 2529.4 [group A]). There was no significant difference in the mucosal impedance between the 2 groups at 10 cm and 18 cm above the esophagogastric junction. Mucosal impedance value at 2 cm > 2970 Ω resulted in a sensitivity of 96.4% and a specificity of 87.5% to exclude GERD. Direct measurement of mucosal impedance during endoscopy is a simple and promising method for diagnosing GERD. Individuals with an abnormal acid exposure time have lower mucosal impedance measurements than those with a normal acid exposure time.

Resolve the species-specific effects of iron (hydr)oxides on the performance of underlying zerovalent iron for metalloid removal: Identification of their key properties

Despite the importance of surface iron (hydr)oxides (Fe-(hydr)oxides) for the decontamination performance of zerovalent iron (ZVI) -based technologies has been well recognized, controversial understandings of their exact roles still exist due to the complex species distribution of Fe-(hydr)oxides. Herein, we re-structured the surface of ZVI using eight distinct Fe-(hydr)oxides and analyzed their species-specific effects on the performance of ZVI for Se(IV) under well-controlled conditions. The kinetics-relevant performance indicators (Se(IV) removal rates, Fe2+ release rates, and the utilization ratio of ZVI) under the effect of each Fe-(hydr)oxide roughly followed the order: δ-FeOOH > Fe5HO8·4H2O > α-FeOOH > β-FeOOH > γ-FeOOH > γ-Fe2O3 > Fe3O4 > α-Fe2O3. Multiple linear regression analysis shows that the large pore volume and size (instead of specific surface area), low open-circuit potential, and low electrochemical impedance are key positive properties for kinetics-relevant performance. Besides, for electron efficiency of ZVI, only Fe3O4 increased the value to 50.0%, due to the contribution of its ferrous components, while others did not change it (∼20%). Additional experiments with commercial ZVI covered by individual Fe-(hydr)oxides confirmed the observed species-specific trends. All these results not only provide new basis for mechanism explanation but also have practical implications for the production or modification of ZVI.

Solvent-free in-situ polymerized plastic crystal electrolytes for long-cycling lithium metal batteries

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are regarded as the pivotal materials for next-generation battery technology on account of their improved safety and potentially enabling higher energy density chemistry compared to conventional liquid electrolytes. However, the practical application of SPEs still hindered by the limited room temperature ionic conductivity, insufficient physical contact and unstable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) with electrodes. Here we report a class of in-situ polymerized plastic crystal electrolytes (PPCEs) which break the trade-offs between degree of polymerization and ionic conductivity of in-situ polymerized SPEs. The complete polymerized electrolytes combined both the advantages of in-situ polymer electrolytes and plastic crystal electrolytes, exhibiting thin thickness, good ionic conductivity, outstanding electrochemical stability and low interfacial impedance. As a result, symmetric Li cells with PPCE showed a superior long lifespan over 2500 h under 0.5 mA cm−2 and Li/PPCE/LiFePO4 (LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2) cells displayed excellent long-cycling performance under 1.0 C at room temperature. The in-situ polymerized electrolyte system provides an effective strategy for developing safe and high-energy solid-state lithium batteries.

High stretchable and self-adhesive multifunctional hydrogel for wearable and flexible sensors

Ionic conductive hydrogel has recently garnered significant research attention due to its potential applications in the field of wearable and flexible electronics. Nonetheless, the integration of multifunctional and synergistic advantages, including reliable electronic properties, high swelling capacity, exceptional mechanical characteristics, and self-adhesive properties, presents an ongoing challenge. In this study, we have developed an ionic conductive hydrogel through the co-polymerization of 4-Acryloylmorpholine (ACMO) and sodium acrylate using UV curing technology. The hydrogel exhibits excellent mechanical properties, high conductivity, superior swelling capacity, and remarkable self-adhesive attributes. The hydrogel serves as a highly sensitive strain sensor, enabling precise monitoring of both substantial and subtle human motions. Furthermore, the hydrogel demonstrates the capability to adhere to human skin, functioning as a human-machine interface for the detection of physiological signals, including electromyogram (EMG) signals, with low interfacial impedance. This work is anticipated to yield a new class of stretchable and conductive materials with diverse potential applications, ranging from flexible sensors and wearable bio-electronics to contributions in the field of artificial intelligence.

Comparative evaluation of single versus double leg raise maneuver in high-resolution esophageal manometry.

The straight leg raise (SLR) maneuver, often performed during esophageal manometry, requires patients to lift their leg(s) to augment intraabdominal pressure (IAP). Diverse techniques have been applied for SLR. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effects of SLR between single and double leg raises. During esophageal manometry, patients were asked to raise one leg, followed by elevating both legs. The efficacy of SLR for (1) detecting hiatal hernia, (2) increasing IAP, and (3) predicting gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with intraesophageal pressure (IEP) was assessed. The value of change in impedance to indicate reflux during SLR in predicting esophageal acid exposure was investigated. The leg raise procedures were performed in 86 patients undergoing high-resolution esophageal manometry. Both the single and double leg raises exhibited a higher hiatal hernia detection rate compared to the landmark (p = 0.008 and 0.005, respectively). Double leg raise was more effective in raising IAP by >50% compared to single leg raise (100% vs. 65.1%, p < 0.001), increasing yield by 53.6%. The change in IAP showed a positive correlation with the change in IEP during double leg raise (r = 0.31; p = 0.004), higher than that for single leg raise (r = 0.23; p = 0.03). Lower intraesophageal impedance during SLR was associated with AET > 6% with double leg raise (1.5 kΩ vs. 2.5 kΩ, p = 0.04). Our study demonstrates the efficacy of both single and double leg raise maneuvers during HREMI in increasing hiatal hernia detection and possible value in predicting GERD. The double leg raise resulted in a higher rate of effective increase in IAP, potentially enabling more patients to undergo effective SLR during HREMI.

Next day cochlear implant switch-on: the New Zealand experience

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to review the practice of next-day cochlear implant activation, or switch-on, after surgery for adult cochlear recipients in northern New Zealand. A retrospective observational study compared next-day and three-week post-surgical outcomes related to early complications, electrode impedance values, speech perception outcomes and the number of patient appointments and speech processor MAPs to the point of stabilisation. Over a five-year period, 167 consecutively implanted recipients were included in this review. Results indicate that less time from surgery to switch-on had no impact on the incidence of wound or fitting complications, and resulted in lower initial impedance measures, fewer hours of follow-up visits and fewer MAPs during the subsequent nine months. Speech perception outcomes did not differ between the early and later switch-on groups. General satisfaction with next-day switch-on practices has resulted in consistent use of this protocol with high patient and clinician satisfaction and improved clinical efficiencies.

Paraphenylenediamine modified graphene oxide for enhancement protection performance of epoxy coating on Q235 steel

Among the array of strategies deployed to combat corrosion, coating protection stands out as a method both simple and cost-effective. In this paper, paraphenylenediamine (PPDA) was used to modify graphene oxide (GO) to obtain a nano-filler with excellent dispersibility and barrier properties. Integration of this PPDA modified reduced graphene oxide (FRGO) into the epoxy resin matrix yields a composite coating boasting remarkable resistance against corrosion. Through a comprehensive analysis involving FT-IR, Raman, XPS, and XRD, the optimal reduction temperature for GO was discerned to be 500 °C. The optimal modified addition amount of PPDA to GO is 1:1. Subsequent to the preparation of PPDA modified reduced graphene oxide composite coating composite coatings featuring varied concentrations, an assessment of the coatings' corrosion resistance ensued through electrochemical workstation analysis and salt spray testing. After immersed in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution for 120 h, the low frequency impedance modulus value (|Z|0.01 Hz) of composite coating with 0.1 wt% FRGO reached a peak value of 1.94 × 109 Ω·cm2. Even after immersion for 240 h, the |Z|0.01 Hz remained significantly high at 4.01 × 108 Ω·cm2, indicating a significant improvement in corrosion resistance.

+Improving the corrosion protection properties of epoxy resin coating by using HKUST-1-BTA@e-Mica two-dimensional nanocomposites

In order to enhance the performance of epoxy coatings to cope with more severe working environments, we develop a convenient energy-saving and fast method to develop an eco-friendly pH-responsive smart coating with long-term corrosion protection. In this paper, HKUST-1 crystals were rapidly synthesised on mica nanosheets (e-Mica) using hydroxyl complex salt (HDS) as an intermediate at room temperature and loaded with the corrosion inhibitor BTA to obtain the composite material HBeM. The use of e-Mica in coatings offers numerous benefits, including extended resistance to corrosive media and the ability to adjust mechanical properties. It is important to note, however, that e-Mica is less compatible with epoxy resin. HKUST-1 can not only be used as a pH-responsive nanocontainer to load a large amount of corrosion inhibitor, but also to regulate the compatibility between mica nanosheets and epoxy resin with a large number of functional groups on HKUST-1. The results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed that HKUST-1-BTA@e-Mica (HBeM) composite enables the coating to provide long-term corrosion protection. The low frequency impedance of the HBeM/EP composite coating, |Z|f=0.01 Hz, was improved by almost three orders of magnitude and remained higher than that of the pure epoxy coating after 30 days of immersion, and the addition of fillers enhances the mechanical properties of the coating. In conclusion, this paper provides a simple, energy-efficient and rapid method for the preparation of smart corrosion-resistant coatings, which has great potential for industrial use.

AuPt bimetallic loaded defect state g-C3N4 enhances photocatalytic H2 evolution: Exploring synergistic effects and charge transfer mechanisms

AuPt alloy nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared using a simple photodeposition method to modify defective state g-C3N4 nanosheets (HCN) which contained N vacancies, B doping, and CN groups. The visible diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS) indicate that AuPt/HCN exhibits high light absorption capability. The photoluminescence spectrum (PL) and steady-state surface photovoltage (SPV) indicate that AuPt/HCN possesses a high rate of photogenerated charge separation and a high efficiency of photogenerated electron transfer. The electrochemical tests indicate that AuPt/HCN exhibits lower electrochemical impedance. AuPt/HCN (1.0 wt%) exhibits outstanding photocatalytic hydrogen evolution efficiency, producing hydrogen at a rate of 2095 μmol·g−1·h−1 under visible light, which is 2.10 times and 1.55 times higher than that of monometallic Au/HCN (1.0 wt%) (997 μmol·g−1·h−1) and Pt/HCN (1.0 wt%) (1349 μmol·g−1·h−1), respectively. The bimetallic synergistic effect of AuPt alloy NPs co-catalysts enhances the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity of AuPt/HCN composite photocatalysts.

Ten-electrode bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) system: Sensitivity investigation by simulation and phantom experiment

Sensitivity of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) measurement was investigated in this study. Limb segments and the trunk of the body are usually assessed for the whole body impedance in the common-used eight-electrode system. However, even though the trunk is the largest part, the measurement sensitivity of the trunk part is extremely low resulting in low trunk impedance. In this study, a ten-electrode BIA system is proposed to improve the sensitivity of the trunk region by adding two more electrodes at the abdomen and proposing a new measurement scheme. Simulation results showed that the proposed system improved the sensitivity in the trunk region by 3.4–4.2 times. With the eight-electrode system, the content of a body segment could also affect the measured impedance of the other segments, but this effect was substantially reduced in the proposed system. The simulation results were confirmed by a phantom experiment on a piece of pork.

Starfish tube feet inspired hydrogel electrode for durable underwater sEMG acquisition

Underwater surface electromyography (UW-sEMG) acquisition with long-term high quality is crucial to underwater activities, including rehabilitation, fatigue measurement, and sports monitoring. However, most UW-sEMG electrodes suffer significant performance decline, especially for hydrogel electrodes, due to the swelling-induced mechanical, electrical, and adhesive degradation. Maintaining high performance underwater over extended periods is challenging. The controlled underwater adhesion-detachment behavior of starfish is inspirative. Here, a starfish tube feet-inspired hydrogel (STFH) electrode is developed for UW-sEMG recording, including a micro-swelling hydrogel pillar, a biomimetic silicone sucker, and an Ag/AgCl disc electrode. By soaking freeze-dried hydrophilic hydrogel in tannic acid (TA) solution, the hydrogel exhibits skin-like modulus of 22.4 kPa, low skin impedance of 18.3 kΩ (10 Hz) and low equilibrium swelling ratio. Unlike traditional strategies for improving anti-swelling properties, this work leverages the interaction between the sucker and the swollen hydrogel to promote conformal contact. Consequently, the sEMG signal exhibits SNR of 26.7 dB and baseline noise of 12.8 μV even after 60 min of underwater working. The STFH electrode also shows anti-noise capability to resist skin vibration and wave oscillation. This STFH electrode enables durable UW-sEMG acquisition, which could further extend from the arm to the wrist to adapt wearing habits.

A 1.87 µW Capacitively Coupled Chopper Instrumentation Amplifier with a 0.36 mV Output Ripple and a 1.8 GΩ Input Impedance for Biomedical Recording

Chopper and capacitively coupled techniques are employed in instrumentation amplifiers to create capacitively coupled chopper instrumentation amplifiers (CCIAs) that obtain a high noise power efficiency. However, the CCIA has some disadvantages due to the chopper technique, namely chopper ripple and a low input impedance. The amplifier can easily saturate due to the chopper ripple of the CCIA, especially in extremely low noise problems. Therefore, ripple attenuation is required when designing CCIAs. To record biomedical information, a CCIA with a low power consumption and a low noise, low output ripple, and high input impedance (Zin) is presented in this paper. By introducing a ripple attenuation loop (RAL) including the chopping offset amplifier and a low pass filter, the chopping ripple can be reduced to 0.36 mV. To increase the Zin of the CCIA up to 1.8 GΩ, an impedance boost loop (IBL) is added. By using 180 nm CMOS technology, the 0.123 mm2 CCIA consumes 1.87 µW at a supply voltage of 1 V. According to the simulation results using Cadance, the proposed CCIA architecture achieves a noise floor of 136 nV/√Hz, an input-referred noise (IRN) of 2.16 µVrms, a closed-loop gain of 40 dB, a power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) of 108.6 dB, and a common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of 118.7 dB. The proposed CCIA is a helpful method for monitoring neural potentials.

Effect of dispersive electrode position (anterior vs. posterior) in epicardial radiofrequency ablation of ventricular wall: A computer simulation study.

An epicardial approach is often used in radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation to ablate ventricular tachycardia when an endocardial approach fails. Our objective was to analyze the effect of the position of the dispersive patch (DP) on lesion size using computer modeling during epicardial approach. We compared the posterior position (patient's back), commonly used in clinical practice, to the anterior position (patient's chest). The model considered ventricular wall thicknesses between 4 and 8 mm, and electrode insertion depths between .3 and .7 mm. RF pulses were simulated with 20 W of power for 30 s duration. Statistically significant differences (P < .001) were found between both DP positions in terms of baseline impedance, RF current (at 15 s) and thermal lesion size. The anterior position involved lower impedance (130.8 ± 4.7 vs. 146.2 ± 4.9 Ω) and a higher current (401.5 ± 5.6 vs. 377.5 ± 5.1 mA). The anterior position created lesion sizes larger than the posterior position: 8.9 ± 0.4 vs. 8.4 ± 0.4 mm in maximum width, 8.6 ± 0.4 vs. 8.1 ± 0.4 mm in surface width, and 4.5 ± 0.4 vs. 4.3 ± 0.4 mm in depth. Our results suggest that: (1) the redirection of the RF currents due to repositioning the PD has little impact on lesion size and only affects baseline impedance, and (2) the differences in lesion size are only 0.5 mm wider and 0.2 mm deeper for the anterior position, which does not seem to have a clinical impact in the context of VT ablation.

Conjugation Linked PEDOT:PSS with Low Impedance and High Stretchability for Epidermal Electrophysiology.

Long-term epidermal recording of bioelectricity is of paramount importance for personal health monitoring. It requires stretchable and dry film electrodes that can be seamlessly integrated with skin. The simultaneous achievement of high conductivity and skin-like ductility of conducting materials is a prerequisite for reliable signal transduction at the dynamic interface, which is also the bottleneck of epidermal electrophysiology. Here, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are introduced as "conjugation linkers" into a topologically plasticized conducting polymer (PEDOT:PSS). A thin-film electrode with high conductivity (≈3250Scm-1) and high stretchability (crack-onset strain>100%) is obtained. In particular, the conjugation linker enables the high volumetric capacitance and the low film resistance, both of which synergically reduce the interfacial impedance. The capabilities of this electrode is further demonstrated in the precise recording of various electrophysiological signals.

Preparation of ZnNi/CNT composite structures and their catalytic application in Li/CFx battery

Li/CFx batteries play a crucial role in cutting-edge fields such as military and medical applications. However, they still need further research to enhance their low discharge voltage with improved discharge capacity. In this work, ZnNi/CNT composites were used as catalysts to promote performance of Li/CFx batteries. Results show that these composites could enhance the battery to exhibit high specific capacity with improved voltage platform. Further analysis finds that a higher ion diffusion coefficient at 0.1 C discharge was maintained with lower charge transfer impedance. Ex-situ test results further reveal the ZnNi/CNT could lead to the formation of smaller LiF structure after discharge process, which is crucial for promoting the electrochemical process of Li/CFx battery. This work could provide an important reference for the design of primary battery electrode structure.

Fine-tuning of redox-ability, optical, and electrical properties of Bi2MoO6 ceramics via lanthanide doping and rGO integration for photo-degradation of Methylene Blue and Ciprofloxacin

Herein, lanthanide ion (Gd+3) doped Bismuth Molybdate (Bi2MoO6) integrated on the rGO sheets has been prepared as a novel photocatalyst (Gd@Bi2MoO6/rGO) for the photocatalytic treatment of toxic pollutants. Different physiochemical, optical, electrical, thermal, and electrochemical properties of Gd@Bi2MoO6/rGO, along with its counterparts (Bi2MoO6 and Gd@Bi2MoO6), were studied through XRD, SEM/TEM, FT-IR, UV/Vis, I-V, TGA, Mott-Schottky, and EIS measurements. Photocatalytic experiments revealed that Gd@Bi2MoO6/rGO exhibited significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity, achieving 96.2 % photo-degradation of Methylene Blue with 120 min of irradiation, which is 6.5 and 3.1 times higher compared to Bi2MoO6 (40.9 %) and Gd@Bi2MoO6 (64.8 %), respectively. Moreover, Gd@Bi2MoO6/rGO demonstrated a notable photocatalytic efficiency of 81.7 % towards Ciprofloxacin, significant as per the existing literature benchmark. The enhanced photocatalytic activity is ascribed to the in-built Gd+3 redox centers, high electrical conductivity (7.35 × 10−3 S/m), favorable flat band potential (-0.81 V), and low semiconductor impedance (Rct = 51.71 Ω and Rs = 0.90 Ω). Additionally, the electron-capturing ability of lanthanide dopant ions and S-C heterojunction of Gd@Bi2MoO6/rGO facilitates the separation of photo-generated e-/h+ pairs and favors high concentrations of ROS. The results obtained highlight the potential of Gd@Bi2MoO6/rGO for applications in photocatalysis and wastewater treatment.

Mitigating chain degradation of lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material by surface engineering

Due to offering joint cationic and anionic redox, lithium-rich manganese-based layered oxides (LMLOs) allow high energy density in lithium-ion batteries. However, the oxygen loss, electrode-electrolyte interface side reactions and the structural degradation have resulted in continuous performance decay, hindering the scale-up application of LMLOs. Here, Li1.3V0.94(BO3)2 (LVB) is uniformly coated on the Li1.2Mn0.54Co0.13Ni0.13O2 (LMNCO) surface by using a sol-gel method combined with a high-temperature calcination. By applying multiple characterizations including in-situ XRD, DEMS, HRTEM, AFM and electrochemical test, we prove that the LVB layer provides a physical barrier, which effectively inhibits the surface reactivity and blocks the chain degradation from the source, improves the reversibility of O2- redox and prevents the phase transition and structural degradation propagating from the surface to the bulk. Moreover, the kinetic investigations and calculations reveal that the LVB modification not only improves the electron conductivity of materials by decreasing the surface work function and increasing the electron density near the Fermi energy level, but also provides expanded pathways with lower impedance to facilitate the Li+ transfer and diffusion. Impressively, the modified cathode exhibits the higher rate performance (151 mAh g-1 at 5C) and improved cycle stability under high cutoff voltage (217.7 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles at 0.2C in 2.0–4.8 V, 92.5 % capacity retention; even in 2.0–5 V, 93.9 % after 100 cycles). This work systematically investigates the inhibiting degradation mechanism and establishes the correlation between the intrinsic structure and surface engineering, and offers valuable insight into the development of high-performance LMLOs.

Efficient electrochemical oxidation of antibiotic wastewater using a graphene-loaded PbO2 membrane anode: Mechanisms and applications

This paper aims to develop a flow-through electrochemical system with a series of graphene nanoparticles loaded PbO2 reactive electrochemical membrane electrodes (GNPs-PbO2 REMs) on porous Ti substrates with pore sizes of 100, 150, 300 and 600 μm, and apply them to treat antibiotic wastewater. Among them, the GNPs-PbO2 with Ti substrate of 150 μm (Ti-150/GNPs-PbO2) had superior electrochemical degradation performance over the REMs with other pore sizes due to its smaller crystal size, larger electrochemical active specific area, lower charge-transfer impedance and larger oxygen evolution potential. Under the relatively optimized conditions of initial pH of 5, current density of 15 mA cm−2, and membrane flux of 4.20 m3 (m2·h)−1, the Ti-150/GNPs-PbO2 REM realized 99.34% of benzylpenicillin sodium (PNG) removal with an EE/O of 6.52 kWh m−3. Its excellent performance could be explained as the increased mass transfer. Then three plausible PNG degradation pathways in the flow-through electrochemical system were proposed, and great stability and safety of Ti-150/GNPs-PbO2 REM were demonstrated. Moreover, a single-pass Ti-150/GNPs-PbO2 REM system with five-modules in series was designed, which could consistently treat real antibiotic wastewater in compliance with disposal requirements of China. Thus, this study evidenced that the flow-through electrochemical system with the Ti-150/GNPs-PbO2 REM is an efficient alternative for treating antibiotic wastewater.

Topology optimization of chiral metamaterials with application to underwater sound insulation

Chiral metamaterials have been proven to possess many appealing mechanical phenomena, such as negative Poisson’s ratio, high-impact resistance, and energy absorption. This work extends the applications of chiral metamaterials to underwater sound insulation. Various chiral metamaterials with low acoustic impedance and proper stiffness are inversely designed using the topology optimization scheme. Low acoustic impedance enables the metamaterials to have a high and broadband sound transmission loss (STL), while proper stiffness guarantees its robust acoustic performance under a hydrostatic pressure. As proof-of-concept demonstrations, two specimens are fabricated and tested in a water-filled impedance tube. Experimental results show that, on average, over 95% incident sound energy can be isolated by the specimens in a broad frequency range from 1 kHz to 5 kHz, while the sound insulation performance keeps stable under a certain hydrostatic pressure. This work may provide new insights for chiral metamaterials into the underwater applications with sound insulation.

Noise and sensitivity analysis of the dielectric modulated reconfigurable SiNW-SBT for biosensor applications

For the first time, we reported the noise and sensitivity analysis of the Dielectric Modulated Reconfigurable Silicon Nanowire-based Schottky Barrier Transistor (DMR SiNW-SBT) for biosensor applications. To validate the simulation, we present experimental calibration of the DMR SiNW-SBT biosensor. The biomolecules having different dielectric constants and charge densities are immobilized in the cavity region under the control gate. These biomolecules modulate the Schottky junction width at the source channel interface and enhance the drain current of the biosensor. The simulation results indicate that the proposed device ION and VTH sensitivity improved by 54.65 % and 85.71 %, respectively, with the state-of-the-art biosensors. Noise analysis shows that the NFmin decreased by 190.32 % and offers a low source impedance of 70Ω, which minimizes signal loss and distortion. Additionally, we investigate the linearity parameters that outperformed the FET-based biosensors. The gm3 experiences a reduction of 123.21 %, while the VIP3 sees an increase of 7.87 % and the IIP3 shows a rise of 7.21 %. Furthermore, we have conducted device optimization by varying the cavity length and thickness. We also outline potential fabrication steps for the DMR SiNW-SBT biosensor. Thus, results show that the proposed biosensor emerges as a promising candidate for advanced biosensing applications with high sensitivity, enhanced linearity, and robust noise resilience.
