Abstract
A zirconium nitride (ZrN)-coated surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor that targets particular biological components has been designed and simulated in this study. We illustrated the detection of glucose concentration in urine samples using numerical simulation based on the finite element method (FEM). The maximum angular sensitivity of the sensor was 315.74°/RIU at 0–15 mg/dl (normal range) and 10 g/dl of glucose concentration using refractive indices with a thickness of 48 nm and 2 nm of Ag and ZrN layer. Moreover, for the various concentrations like 0.625, 1.25, 2.5, 5, and 10 g/dl, the sensitivity of 245.22°/RIU, 247.8°/RIU, 250.57°/RIU, 259.93°/RIU, and 283.42°/RIU are attained at minimum reflectivity (Rmin) respectively. The corresponding penetration depth (PD) values are observed at 214.8, 216.4, 220.6, 222.3, 230.5, and 233.3 nm, respectively. Therefore, the improved performance of the current SPR biosensor opens a new field in medical science and is suitable for urine glucose detection.
期刊介绍:
Plasmonics is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed leading-edge original articles that both advance and report our knowledge base and practice of the interactions of free-metal electrons, Plasmons.
Topics covered include notable advances in the theory, Physics, and applications of surface plasmons in metals, to the rapidly emerging areas of nanotechnology, biophotonics, sensing, biochemistry and medicine. Topics, including the theory, synthesis and optical properties of noble metal nanostructures, patterned surfaces or materials, continuous or grated surfaces, devices, or wires for their multifarious applications are particularly welcome. Typical applications might include but are not limited to, surface enhanced spectroscopic properties, such as Raman scattering or fluorescence, as well developments in techniques such as surface plasmon resonance and near-field scanning optical microscopy.
