Magnetic Sensing Materials and Mechanisms for Gas Phase Explosives Detection

Abstract

The proposed research will computationally simulate the performance of new magnetic sensing materials and mechanisms, to identify opportunities for fundamental improvements in the state of the art for the trace detection of explosives. Although chemiresistive devices offer light weight and low power sensing, marked improvements in sensitivity and selectivity are needed. The development of ``practical magnetic based sensing methods may address these requirements. The proposed research will computationally simulate the performance of new magnetic sensing materials and mechanisms, to identify opportunities for fundamental improvements in the state of the art for the trace detection of explosives.
