The potential of nanotechnology enabled sensors was highlighted in the previous chapter. In this chapter, the fundamental characteristics and terminologies associated with transducers and sensors are introduced. Furthermore, some of the major effects that are utilized in sensing for the conversion of energy from a measurand (the physical parameter being quantified by a measurement) to a measurable signal are described. These effects illustrate the relationship between different physical and chemical phenomena that can be measured using sensors. This will be a prelude to Chap. 3, which focuses on major transduction platforms.
