The sensor design is modelled in two dimensions (2D) and exhibits a broad refractive index detection range, from 1 to 2.5 µm/RIU. The proposed design utilizes a top-analyte configuration, where the target analyte is placed directly on the sensor surface for interaction. Various metals like Ag (silver), Au (gold), Al (aluminium), and Cu (copper) are considered for investigation of the influence of the middle metal layer on the overall optical response. The GST layer is modelled as a two-state material, accounting for its amorphous (aGST) and crystalline (cGST) phases. It allows for exploring the sensor’s tunability based on the GST material’s phase state. Furthermore, comprehensive optimization and validation processes are conducted for various device parameters, including layer thicknesses, widths, and the type of metal employed. These optimizations aim to achieve optimal sensor performance regarding sensitivity and overall functionality. Notably, the simulations reveal distinct bandwidths and resonant regions for both aGST and cGST phases of the GST layer. In conclusion, this proposed sensor provides potential application in biomolecular and chemical testing due to its tunable characteristics and broad refractive index detection range.","PeriodicalId":736,"journal":{"name":"Plasmonics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141935858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gold and silver are considered as plasmonic layers on the surface of the D-shaped PCF sensor. By performing multiple simulations using the finite-difference eigenmode (FDE) method, various values of gold and silver thicknesses are investigated to achieve the highest sensitivity and resolution. The results indicate that the highest sensitivity and resolution of 25,600 nm/RIU and (3.9times {10}^{-6}) are achieved respectively for a gold thickness of 44 nm at the analyte refractive index (RI) of 1.41. Meanwhile, for an analyte RI range of 1.29 to 1.40, silver demonstrates greater sensitivity than gold in the same range.

As the sample’s concentration increases, the transmission spectrum shifts at higher wavelengths, enabling differentiation between malignant and normal cancer cells.

Therefore, this study presents a colorimetric method for detecting Fe3⁺ and Cu2⁺ ions in aqueous samples using silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesised from Ocimum sanctum (Tulasi) leaf extract (TLE). It is observed that AgNPs show optimum plasmonic properties at a precursor-leaf extract ratio of 1:5, reaction temperature of 60 °C and reaction time of 2 h. The AgNPs exhibit the face-centred cubic (fcc) structure and show a surface plasmon resonance peak at 413 nm, hydrodynamic size of 18 ± 5 nm, zeta potential of − 25.5 mV and particle size of 57 nm. FTIR spectra confirm the stabilisation of AgNPs. It is worthy to note that, AgNPs exhibit selective detection of Fe3⁺ and Cu2⁺ over other metal ions and the detection mechanism is proposed based on the reduction potential values. The quantitative detection range for Fe3⁺ and Cu2⁺ are found to be 0–800 μM and 0–600 μM, with the detection limits of 9.1 µM and 19.5 µM, respectively. Additionally, AgNP-based paper sensors for Cu2⁺ detection show qualitative and quantitative colorimetric performance with a detection limit of 23.1 µM. These findings suggest that both AgNPs solution and AgNP-based paper sensors are the potential candidates for metal ion detection.","PeriodicalId":736,"journal":{"name":"Plasmonics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141935861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The transfer matrix method (TMM) is used for the theoretical model and to analyze the performance of the sensors. The proposed SPR sensor comprises 2D materials such as black phosphorus (BP), which improve the sensitivity of the SPR-based sensor through efficient interactions with biomolecules. The resonance angle of surface plasmons shifts due to a difference in the refractive index from 1.330 to 1.337 in urine samples with various glucose levels. Initially, the study aims to compare the sensor performance parameters among different prisms (CaF2, BK7, FK51A, and SF10) coupled with a hybrid structure. The proposed sensor achieved a noticeably higher value sensitivity of 511 (deg./RIU), a quality factor of 108.377 (1/RIU), and a figure of merit of 108.374 when a CaF2 prism with an optimized thickness was used. The performance parameters, including the sensitivity, full width at half maximum (FWHM), figure of merit (FoM), and detection accuracy (DA), were measured, and the results were compared to evaluate the findings.

Controlling nanoparticle size is crucial for various scientific and technological applications. In this paper, the effect of mixing ratio of composite liquid media and laser pulse energy on size distribution of silver nanocollides was exhibited. Mixing ratio of blend of high and low viscosity fluids—ethylene glycol and deionized water—was varied in the range from 0% to 100%. Additionally, the impact of laser pulse energy on AgNP size was explored while keeping the mixing ratio constant. Properties of the particles, including morphology, size, and plasmonic behavior, were examined using SEM, EDX, and optical absorption spectroscopy, and the underlying mechanisms are discussed. The colloids were of spherical shape and showed surface plasmon resonance around 400 nm. The size of the nanoparticle appeared to vary from 15 nm to 86 nm by increasing the concentration of ethylene glycol in the mixture. A similar effect was observed with the laser energy: the particle size increased from 24 nm to 75 nm as the laser energy was varied from 70 mJ to 150 mJ. The nanocolloids were also effective as antibacterial agents against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria: the small-sized particles showed higher toxicity compared to the large particles. In addition to the laser energy, variation in nanoparticle size distribution by the interplay of mixing ratio of the liquid media is an interesting aspect of the findings.","PeriodicalId":736,"journal":{"name":"Plasmonics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141935864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This design uniquely combines gold, graphene, and Ti3C2Tx-MXene materials to achieve a synergistic effect, significantly enhancing the sensitivity and specificity of the sensor. The full vector finite element method (FVFEM) is used for the entire numerical analysis of the proposed biosensor. The cladding of the D-type PCF has a hexagonal arrangement of air holes. In the first cladding, the two air holes closest to the metal layer are narrowed down to enhance the plasma wave and provide an efficient leakage channel. The last two air holes closest to the metal layer in the same layer are enlarged to limit light scattering and couple more energy to the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) mode. The sensitivity of the sensor improves by using these different diameter air holes and coating the D-type PCF surface with a hybrid gold/graphene/Ti3C2Tx-MXene layer. The geometrical parameters are optimized to obtain higher sensor sensitivity. The corresponding wavelength sensitivities are 3000 nm/RIU for Basal cells, 5000 nm/RIU for HeLa cells (Henrietta Lacks cells), 5714 nm/RIU for Jurkat cells (Human T lymphocyte cells), 7143 nm/RIU for PC12 cells (Pheochromocytoma cells), 8571 nm/RIU for MDA-MB-231 cells (Breast cancer cells), and 9286 nm/RIU for MCF-7 cells (Michigan Cancer Foundation-7, a breast cancer cell line), respectively, confirming the excellent performance of the proposed sensor.
