Design and comparative study of hybridized gallium arsenide based bio-sensors for Alzheimer’s disease early identification with DFT approach
摘要
Extensive research is going on alternative methods that may be helpful in replacing the conventional methods used for detection of Alzheimer’s Disease. To cope up with dangerously increasing cases of dementia and alzheimer’s disease worldwide for past some years, academia is actively involved in designing methods to detect this fatal disease well in advance. A family of III-V compound semiconductors Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) monolayer has a large band gap and honeycomb structure, making it an attractive option for sensing applications. In this work, the adsorption behavior of four molecules- Butylated hydroxytoluene(BHT), Pivalic acid(PVA), Phenylenediamine(PDM) and Styrene on GaAs monolayers, which are known as Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) for detection of Alzheimer’s disease, were examined using density functional theory (DFT). For every GaAs@gas system, the band structure, density of states (DOS), charge transfer ( QT), adsorption energy (Eads ), stability analysis (Work function and formation energy), sensitivity and Recovery Time (
