In this work, we fabricated field effect transistor gas sensors, based on a variety of mechanically exfoliated vdW materials, and investigated their electrical field-dependent gas sensing properties. The good agreement between the experimentally extracted intrinsic parameters, such as equilibrium constant and adsorption energy, and theoretically predicted values suggests validity of the Langmuir absorption model for vdW materials. Moreover, we show that the device sensing behavior depends crucially on the availability of carriers, and giant sensitivities and strong selectivity can be achieved at the sensitivity singularity. Finally, we demonstrate that such features provide a fingerprint for different gases to quickly detect and differentiate between low concentrations of mixed hazardous gases using sensor arrays.}, note = {}, institution = {Universität der Bundeswehr München, Fakultät für Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik, EIT 2 - Institut für Physik, Professur: Düsberg, Georg}, }
