Understanding Sensors in Physics: Principles and Examples

Understanding Sensors in Physics: Principles and Examples

1. Working Principle of Sensors A sensor is a device that converts non-electrical quantities into electrical quantities. The non-electrical quantities sensed typically include pressure, temperature, displacement, concentration, speed, pH, etc. The output is usually an electrical quantity, such as voltage, current, or charge. These output signals are very weak and usually need to be amplified … Read more

Understanding Spin-Orbit Coupling in 3d Transition Metal Oxides

Understanding Spin-Orbit Coupling in 3d Transition Metal Oxides

The core of solid-state physics is band theory, which categorizes the crystal world into two types: “insulators” and “conductors.” To fill the gap for semiconductor applications at room temperature, the concept of “semiconductors” was added. This knowledge is now taught in secondary schools, indicating that band theory has established its foundation.^_^. Of course, band theory … Read more
