Sensitivity Parameter Analysis of Graphene Based Bimetallic Surface Plasmon Resonance Biosensor

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, we have studied theoretically the effect of bimetallic silver/ gold layer on sensitivity of the graphene based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor. Here, silver layer (instead of chromium and titanium) is used as an adhesive layer in between gold and BK7 glass prism. The optimized thickness of silver/gold layers reported in literature has been used for the analysis of various sensitivity parameters of the biosensor. A computational simulation is performed to analyze the nature of plasmon dip shift with respect to the addition of graphene layer and binding layer respectively.
