  • Abstract
    In this work the case of spherical grains will be discussed in order to point out that the reduction of the sensing film grain size changes the behavior, not always giving a better performance in terms of sensitivity, with respect to large grained films. The model was focused on p-type materials and some simulation results for YCoO3 are shown and discussed.
