Search for new materials for monitoring ammonia and express diagnostics of diseases.

Work focused on the search for new materials with high sensitivity to ammonia, which can be used to control the concentration of the pollutant in the air of the working zone enterprises. Another side of the use of semiconductor materials detectors with high yield gas detection marker is a non-invasive diagnosis. To assess the possible use of these substances was conducted a comprehensive study of bulk and surface properties of the CdS-ZnTe system components. The data obtained are useful for predicting the sensitivity of adsorption of these compounds to ammonia, instead of direct measurements of adsorption, which significantly reduces the time and complexity of the experiment.
