“…[24,25] The response of the Au/Co/Au sensor toward the magnetic field with 0, 6, 9, and 12 nm Co layers was 0, 4219.29, 76.89, and 43.68 mT unit reflectivity À1 (saturation magnetization strength approximately 40 mT from Figure 7d), better than the previous report. [26][27][28][29][30] The ultrahigh response is attributed to the strong local electric field on the surface of the Au/Co/Au film under the surface plasmon resonance (Figure 5). [31,32] The full width at half maxima (FWHM), a pivotal point to evaluate the sensing characteristic of the SPR sensor, of Au/Co/Au magnetic sensor with different thicknesses of Co layer (0, 6, 9, 12 nm) is 0, 8.8, 11.9, 12.4, and 12.6, respectively, which rises with the thickness of Co increase, due to the ohmic loss of Co.…”
