This study investigates the design and fabrication of magnetic microsensors using the commercial 0.35 μm complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process. The magnetic sensor is composed of springs and interdigitated electrodes, and it is actuated by the Lorentz force. The finite element method (FEM) software CoventorWare is adopted to simulate the displacement and capacitance of the magnetic sensor. A post-CMOS process is utilized to release the suspended structure. The post-process uses an anisotropic dry etching to etch the silicon dioxide layer and an isotropic dry etching to remove the silicon substrate. When a magnetic field is applied to the magnetic sensor, it generates a change in capacitance. A sensing circuit is employed to convert the capacitance variation of the sensor into the output voltage. The experimental results show that the output voltage of the magnetic microsensor varies from 0.05 to 1.94 V in the magnetic field range of 5-200 mT.

Unlabelled: Ongoing research in biosensor technologies has led to advanced functional materials for healthcare diagnostics, and bacteriophages (phages), demonstrating exceptional utility due to their high specificity, accuracy, rapid, label-free, and wireless detection capabilities with minimal false-positive results. Phage-based-pathogen-detecting biosensors (PBPDBs) include surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors, magnetoelastic (ME), electrochemical, and quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) biosensors. Commonly used substrates for PBPDBs are gold, silicon, glass, carbon-based materials, magnetic particles, and quantum dots.

Controlling spin-polarized currents at the nanoscale is of immense importance for high-density magnetic data storage and spin-based logic devices. As electronic devices are miniaturized to the ultimate limit of individual atoms and molecules, electronic transport is strongly influenced by the properties of the individual spin centers and their magnetic interactions. In this work, we demonstrate the precise control and detection of spin-polarized currents through two coupled spin centers at a tunnel junction by controlling their spin-spin interactions.

This paper presents a novel investigation of a magnetic sensor that employs Fano/Tamm resonance within the photonic band gap of a one-dimensional crystal structure. The design incorporates a thin layer of gold (Au) alongside a periodic arrangement of Tantalum pentoxide ([Formula: see text]) and Cesium iodide ([Formula: see text]) in the configuration [Formula: see text]. We utilized the transfer matrix method in conjunction with the Drude model to analyze the formation of Fano/Tamm states and the permittivity of the metallic layer, respectively.

Molecular materials that exhibit synergistic coupling between luminescence and spin-crossover (SCO) behaviors hold significant promise for applications in molecular sensors and memory devices. However, the rational design and underlying coupling mechanisms remain substantial challenges in this field. In this study, we utilized a luminescent complementary ligand pair as an intramolecular luminophore to construct a new Fe-based SCO complex, namely [FeLL](BF)·HO (1-Fe, L is a 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (TPY) derivative ligand and L is 2,6-di-1-pyrazol-1-yl-4-pyridinecarboxylic acid), and two isomorphic analogs (2-Co, [CoLL](BF)·HO and 3-Zn, [ZnLL](BF)·HO).
