Title: " Sensitivity Analyses of Hybrid Structures of Metals, Dielectrics, and 2D materials for Surface Plasmon Resonance Based Sensors "
This computational work was an attempt to enhance the sensitivity of Metal-based Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) biosensors by introducing an interface layer, top encapsulating layer, and 2D material layer. For designing a cost-efficient sensor, the low-loss copper metal was used instead of typical noble metals. The sensitivity of the SPR sensor hybrid structure with different layers of different materials was analyzed and compared based on some quality parameters.

Metal Oxides based Surface Plasmon Resonance Biosensors for NIR applications
Indium Tin Oxide is an emerging Transparent Conducting Oxide (TCO) with vast potential applications. The SPR sensor applications can be extended to the Near-infrared range by using ITO. This work mainly focused on the sensitivity analysis of SPR biosensors with Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) as the conductive material. The effect of microstructural properties of ITO like trap density and defects on its electrical, optical, and plasmonic behaviour was studied by incorporating different scattering mechanisms.
