摘要
Two-dimensional (2-D) materials have attracted a lot of attention for using in surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors. High sensitivity and figure of merit are two desirable parameters in sensor performance analysis. Using heterostructures of phosphorene, graphene, and transition metal dichalcogenides is proposed to enhance the sensitivity of biosensor. Although the proposed biosensor can be used for detection of different analytes with a wide refractive index range, DNA hybridization is the sensing target in this paper. Sensing parameters of different biosensor configurations based on a few-layer black phosphorus (BP) and other 2-D materials are compared with the conventional Au-based SPR sensor and the highest sensitivity of 187 degrees/RIU for the structure consists of 10-layer BP and monolayer WS2 is obtained. The suggested sensor structure provides the sensitivity more than two times of the conventional biosensor. This high sensor performance may have potential applications in medical diagnosis and biochemical detection.
