摘要:

在覆盖金属(等离子体)膜的表面等离子体共振传感器中使用石墨烯具有许多已证明的优点,例如保护膜免受腐蚀/氧化并促进引入用于选择性感测的官能团。最近,一些工作声称,少层石墨烯也可以增加传感器的灵敏度。然而,石墨烯被处理为各向同性薄膜,具有与面内折射率相同的面外折射率。在这里,我们严格审查的作用,单层和几层石墨烯的表面等离子体共振传感器的灵敏度增强。石墨烯通过三种不同的描述被引入到金属膜上:作为原子厚度的二维片,作为薄的有效各向同性材料(在三个坐标方向上具有相同的导电性),以及作为非各向同性层(在垂直于二维平面的方向上具有不同的导电性)。我们发现,只有各向同性层模型,这是已知的是不正确的光学建模的石墨烯,提供了相当大的灵敏度增加,而其他更准确的模型导致可以忽略不计的贡献的灵敏度。

英文摘要:

The use of graphene in surface plasmon resonance sensors, covering a metallic (plasmonic) film, has a number of demonstrated advantages, such protecting the film against corrosion/oxidation and facilitating the introduction of functional groups for selective sensing. Recently, a number of works have claimed that few-layer graphene can also increase the sensitivity of the sensor. However, graphene was treated as an isotropic thin film, with an out-of-plane refractive index that is identical to the in-plane index. Here, we critically examine the role of single and few layers of graphene in the sensitivity enhancement of surface plasmon resonance sensors. Graphene is introduced over the metallic film via three different descriptions: as an atomic-thick two-dimensional sheet, as a thin effective isotropic material (same conductivity in the three coordinate directions), and as an non-isotropic layer (different conductivity in the perpendicular direction to the two-dimensional plane). We find that only the isotropic layer model, which is known to be incorrect for the optically modelling of graphene, provides sizeable sensitivity increases, while the other, more accurate, models lead to negligible contribution to the sensitivity.
