Enhanced gold film-coupled graphene-based plasmonic nanosensor
A particular interesting plasmonic system is that of metallic nanostructures interacting with metal films. As the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) behavior of gold nanostructures (Au NPs) on the top of a gold thin film is exquisitely sensitive to the spacer distance of the film-Au NPs, we investigate in the present work the influence of a few-layered graphene spacer on the LSPR behavior of the NPs. The idea is to evidence the role of few-layered graphene as one of the thinnest possible spacer. We first show that the coupling to the Au film induces a strong lowering at around 507 nm and sharpening of the main LSPR of the Au NPs.
Plasmonic properties of nanostructured graphene with silver nanoparticles
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2020
Ensembles of size-selected silver nanoparticles (NPs) deposited on nanostructured graphene using cluster beam technique are studied. Graphene is nanostructured by focused ion beam (FIB) to form arrays of holes. It is found that the deposited NPs are tended to collect in and around the holes in graphene. The graphene with NPs is covered by Rhodamine 6G and examined by Raman spectroscopy. It is shown that amount of so-called hot spots increases dramatically for the nanostructured graphene with Ag NPs in comparison with continuous graphene covered by the NPs at the same conditions. Hereby, combining 2D material, FIB and cluster beam deposition techniques allows to form nanostructured surfaces with advanced plasmonic properties to be applied in sensor technologies and surface enhanced Raman scattering.

A theoretical study was conducted with the aim of improving the detection accuracy of graphene-based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors. We studied the effect of applying a bias voltage to the sensor surface on its detection accuracy. The optimum thicknesses of silver and gold layers in the biosensor of 47 nm and 3 nm, respectively, were determined. Graphene layers deposited on these thin silver and gold films formed a sensor surface system, on which the surface plasmons were excited. The real and imaginary parts of the refractive index of graphene were controlled by the bias voltage. When the chemical potential was increased from 36 meV to 8 eV, the detection accuracy of the sensor was correspondingly increased by 213%.
Plasmon dispersion relation of Au and Ag nanowires
Physical Review B, 2003
We have studied surface plasmon modes on silver and gold nanowires of a fixed cross section and different lengths, produced by electron beam lithography. The optically excited modes are determined by extinction spectroscopy and can be interpreted in terms of standing plasmon polariton waves. The eigenfrequencies are found to follow a dispersion relation similar to that for a planar metal/dielectric interface.
Fermi level equilibration of Ag and Au plasmonic metal nanoparticles supported on graphene oxide
Physical chemistry chemical physics : PCCP, 2018
For the first time, the process of Fermi level equilibration has been studied and compared for plasmonic metal nanoparticles (PMNPs) supported on conducting substrates i.e. graphene oxide (GO) sheets. The extent of Fermi level equilibration has been monitored by recording the changes in the position and intensity of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) band of Ag and Au PMNPs supported on reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Ag PMNPs supported on rGO show larger variation in the SPR band position and intensity as compared to rGO supported Au PMNPs. The average shift in the chemical potential has been determined through the changes in the SPR band position for Ag, Ag@rGO, Au, and Au@rGO, which are approximately -1812 ± 70 mV, -171 ± 20 mV, -96 ± 8 mV and -29 ± 4 mV, respectively. The calculated values of the shift in chemical potential suggest that Ag and its rGO composite are more prone to Fermi level equilibration as compared to the Au and Au@rGO composite.

Simulations of absorption spectra using Gans approximation for the prolate shape of gold nanorods are reported. Longitudinal resonance modes are observed for high aspect ratio nanorods by considering that the nanorod size in the range between 10 nm and 20 nm, where both surface scattering and dynamic depolarization are minor and hence, neglected in the present calculations. The LSPR wavelength is found to shift towards higher wavelength with increase in aspect ratio and the surrounding medium dielectric constant. A linear relationship between LSPR wavelength, aspect ratio and surrounding medium dielectric constant is obtained, which is in good agreement with the DDA results, experimental data and experimental linear fit data.
Graphene as a substrate for plasmonic nanoparticles
Journal of Optics, 2013
We report results from an investigation into the plasmonic properties of metallic nanoparticles supported by graphene fabricated using two different methods. In the first method we used electron-beam lithography to produce ordered arrays of metallic nanoparticles. In the second method we used a technique based on electrochemistry to produce random arrangements of metallic nanoparticles. Our results show that both pristine graphene and a more conducting intercalated variant are excellent substrates for plasmonic nanoparticles owing to their transparency and atomically thin nature, opening an interesting route for building plasmon-based bio-and chemical-sensors, and for developing transparent and flexible optoelectronics.

Photonics and Nanostructures - Fundamentals and Applications
Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) on silver nanorod (SNR) arrays deposited on a graphene-coated Au substrate is investigated by the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) method. The resonance peaks in the extinction spectra of the SNR/graphene/Au structure show significantly different profiles as SNR height, and refractive index of the surrounding medium are varied gradually. Numerical simulation reveals that the shifts in the resonance peaks arise from hybridization of multiple plasmon modes as a result of coupling between the SNR arrays and graphene-coated Au substrate. Moreover, the LSPR modes blue-shifts from 800 nm to 700 nm when the thickness of the graphene layer in the metal nanoparticle (NP)-graphene hybrid nanostructure increases from 1 nm to 5 nm, which attribute to charge transfer between the graphene layer and SNR arrays. The results provide insights into metal NP-graphene hybrid nanostructures which have potential applications in plasmonics.
