Graphene and Nickel Nanomaterials Based Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) Biosensor: A Theoretical Study

An extremely sensitive surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based biosensor has been simulated in the present study using an angular interrogation technique. The large surface area of the graphene layer facilitates biomolecule absorption. The SPR biosensor is proposed in a five-layer Kretschmann configuration with a ferromagnetic material and a silver layer. The proposed SPR biosensor's sensitivity has been significantly raised in comparison to traditional film-based SPR biosensors. By refining the proposed structure to include a ferromagnetic materials nickel and monolayer of graphene with thicknesses of 15 nm and 0.34 nm and a silver layer of 45 nm, respectively, it is possible to increase sensitivity to 266 degrees/RIU. Furthermore, the proposed SPR sensor design has a very small FWHM, a high detection accuracy (DA), and a high-quality factor (QF). Monolayer of graphene with a fixed mono-layer Nickle configuration were found to have the highest sensitivity of 266 degrees/RIU. Additionally, it should be noted that the proposed SPR biosensor exhibits superior performance IP: 203 8 109 10 On: Thu, 16 Feb 2023 14:20:52 compared to SPR sensor parameters peviously reorded.
