Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor based on the blue phosphorene/MoS 2 hetero-structure is presented to enhance the performance parameters, i.e., sensitivity, detection accuracy, and quality factor. The blue phosphorene/MoS 2 hetero-structure works as an interacting layer with the analyte for the enhancement of the sensitivity of the sensor. It is observed that the sensitivity of blue phosphorene/MoS 2 based sensor (i.e., structure-II) is improved by 5.75%, from the conventional sensor (i.e., structure-III). Further, an additional silicon nanolayer is introduced between the metal layer and blue phosphorene/MoS 2 hetero-structure. The sensitivity of the proposed blue phosphorene/MoS 2 hetero-structure with a silicon layer SPR sensor, i.e., structure-I, is enhanced by 44.76% from structure-II and 55.75% from structure-III due to an enhancement in the evanescent field near the metal-analyte interface. Finally, it is observed that at the optimum thickness of silicon between the gold layer and blue phosphorene/MoS 2 , performance parameters of the sensor are enhanced.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
