Title Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensors : A Materials Guide to Design and Optimization Author(s) Oliveira, Leiva Casemiro;Lima, Antonio Marcus Nogueira;Thirstrup, Carsten;Neff, Helmut Franz Publication Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2015. Description XIII, 183 p. 184 illus : online resource Abstract Note This book addresses the important physical phenomenon of??Surface Plasmon Resonance or Surface Plasmon Polaritons in thin metal films, a phenomenon which is??exploited in the design of a large variety of physico-chemical optical sensors. In this treatment, crucial materials aspects for design and optimization of SPR sensors are investigated and outlined in detail. The text??covers the selection of nanometer thin metal films, ranging from free-electron to the platinum type conductors, along with their combination with a large variety of dielectric substrate materials, and associated individual layer and opto-geometric arrangements. Furthermore, as-yet??hardly explored SPR features of selected metal???metal and metal???dielectric super lattices are included in this report. An in-depth multilayer Fresnel evaluation??provides the mathematical tool for this optical analysis, which otherwise relies??solely on??experimentally determined electro-optical materials parameters ISBN,Price 9783319149264 Keyword(s) 1.
