2D Materials for Surface Plasmon Resonance based Sensors

Sanjeev Kumar Raghuwanshi , Santosh Kumar  , Yadvendra Singh

The idea behind writing this book is that few books are available in the field of optical and plasmonic sensors that cover the work on plasmonic-based fiber optic sensors. But it is difficult to find any dedicated book that generally covers the recent advancement of 2-dimensional (2D) materials in plasmonic-based sensors for chemical/biochemical/ biosensor applications. Due to the plasmonic properties, some nanomaterials such as 2D nanomaterials like graphene, black phosphorous (BP), and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), i.e., MoS2, MoSe2, WS2, and WSe2 have gained great attention for the sensitivity enhancement of SPR biosensors. It became a current topic of research due to the exclusive optical and electrical properties used in biosensing applications. Due to the unique properties of 2D nanomaterials, a robust framework for various system components can be developed for different device components.
