example 1

[0032] exist figure 1 A flattened space 101 is formed in a section of the tube 100 . The opposing walls thus formed are provided with recesses for the transparent window 102 and the sensor. The carrier layer of sensor 103 consists, for example, of p-doped silicon (111). Alternatively n-doped silicon (111) is used. A photoluminescent layer 104 is applied as a nanowire structure on the carrier layer 103 by means of plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. The nanowire structure is made of a mixture of gallium nitride and indium gallium nitride. The nanowires have a diameter of up to 200 nm, preferably 30 nm to 50 nm, and a length of 60 nm to 700 nm, preferably 100 nm to 400 nm.

[0033] The sensor produced in this way is inserted into a recess in the flattened space 101 of the tube 100 . A UV / VIS transparent window 102 is introduced oppositely in the recess. The nanowire side 104 of the sensor is directed towards the window 102 and is in contact with the medium inside the t...

The carrier 103 is provided with a conductive intermediate layer 115 . Preferably, doped aluminum gallium nitride or gallium nitride or indium tin oxide (ITO) is applied here as thin as possible (0.2 to 100 μm) as a grid or as a continuous layer by means of PVD. Next, the intermediate layer is provided with nanostructures 104 made of gallium nitride. This is performed by means of plasma-enhanced molecular beam epitaxy. The nanowires have a diameter of up to 300 nm, preferably 30 nm to 50 nm, and a length of 60 nm to 900 nm, preferably 100 nm to 500 nm. In addition, InGaN quantum dots are grown in a GaN matrix. It also shows pH-dependent photoluminescence, the intensity and sensitivity of which are controlled by the electric potential.

Abstract

An optical pH sensor having a nanowire structure and an applied electrochemical potential, wherein the photoluminescence intensity of the nanowire is detected with spatial resolution and the pH value is subsequently determined with the aid of calibration data.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical pH sensor in which the pH is determined without pigment molecules. Photoluminescence of the sensitive layer, which preferably comprises nanowires or quantum dots, is utilized here. Furthermore, an electrochemical potential is applied. This enables, on the one hand, an increase in the intensity of the photoluminescence and, on the other hand, an increase in the sensitivity to changes in the pH value. Furthermore, this enables a quantitative determination of the pH value. The photoluminescence thus has an intensity which firstly enables a conversion of the photoluminescence intensity into a pH value. Background technique [0002] In US 2002117659A1 the use of photoluminescence for determining the pH value is mentioned. A disadvantage, however, is that the strength cannot be clearly linked to the pH value. Although steps of different pH values ​​are visible in Figure 15b, the intensity fluctuations are so strong th...
