Electrical properties of chloroaluminum phthalocyanine (CIAlPc) were investigated as a function of chemical environments. ClAlPc thin films were deposited onto interdigitated gold electrodes by thermal evaporation method with a thickness about 200 nm. The field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) image showed ClAlPc nanosized particles (50- 80 nm) and X-ray diffraction confirmed that the thin films are in α-phase structure. Electrical measurements demonstrated that the semiconducting and photoconducting properties of ClAlPc thin films are influenced by working temperature and chemical environments. The sensitivity of devices versus humidity, ammonia and ethanol has been investigated as function of analyte concentration and working temperature. Devices were also used as chemiresistive sensors in chemical environments and it was found that devices can be also calibrated as humidity-selective sensor with respect to chemical vapor concentration at room temperature. Finally, long-time stability of devices was also investigated for a period of time and obtained results showed that the stability of devices is optimum in dry air in comparison with other environments..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
