Improving the sensitivity of surface plasmon resonance using a multilayer system within the Kretschmann configuration is investigated. In the present study, an alternative approach is proposed to improve the sensitivity of the conventional SPR based on a silver layer, by an additional dielectric nanolayer of SiO 2 , MgO, and TiO 2 over the silver/silicon layer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
