However, the prime focus is to accurately select the temperature range to avoid the performance degradation due to the self-heating issue. Simulation results are obtained by using SILVACO ATLAS tool. So, change in threshold voltage of the device has been considered as the sensing element to study the existence of bio-particles being trapped in the cavity region of the device.

For the studies we have considered a modified Garcia et al. model depend on Maxwell-Garnett (MG) theory where anisotropy of the particles are represented by a parameter β known as shape parameter and interaction is represented by the parameter K. For calculation of OA spectra of anisotropic particles, the values of β is varied from 0.05 to 1.0, considering K = 0 and keeping particle radius fixed at R = 2 nm. The OA spectra of anisotropic Au NPs in the above range of β exhibit a large redshift of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) from 500 - 832 nm in contrary to what is observed for spherical non-interacting particle of same size at an around 520 nm. An exponential type decay of SPR peak position with increase of β has also been observed. The almost similar nature of OA spectra and the decay behavior of the SPR peak with decrease of K have also been observed for interacting spherical Au NPs by varying the interaction parameter K from 20 to 80 of same particle size. The observation gives a correlation between the parameter β and K which was not established. This correlation is essential and helpful for different applications of anisotropic Au nanoparticles in plasmonic, surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERC), photonics, optoelectronics, and others.","PeriodicalId":446218,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE VLSI DEVICE CIRCUIT AND SYSTEM (VLSI DCS)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115705170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
