Student Activity: Toward a More Sustainable Campus through Innovative Design and Practical Application
this study, we theoretically designed a performance-enhanced surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based fiber
optic biosensor by employing phosphorene with two-dimensional (2-D) materials, such as graphene, molybdenum
disulphide (MoS2), molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2), tungsten disulfide (WS2), and tungsten diselenide
(WSe2). This is the first model of a phosphorene-based fiber optic SPR biosensor utilizing 2-D materials.
The performance of the biosensor was analyzed in terms of its sensitivity and figure of merit. The analysis
indicated that the proposed sensor has fundamentally higher sensitivity compared with ordinary fiber optic SPR
sensors. The sensitivity was increased to 4050 nm/RIU for a structure with 10 layers of black phosphorene and
three layers of graphene. Thus, we suggest that the proposed novel 2-D material-based sensors containing black
phosphorene will be suitable for sensing applications.
