As developed countries' ability to control infectious diseases increases, it has become clear that genetic diseases are a major cause of disability, death, and human tragedy. Coronavirus has recently spread throughout the world, and the capacity to detect low concentrations and virus changes can help to prevent the sickness from spreading further. In this paper, a surface plasmon resonance sensor based on nanostructured thin films and graphene as a 2D material has been designed with high sensitivity and accuracy to identify DNA-based infectious diseases such as SARS-CoV-2. The transfer matrix method assesses the effects of different structural factors, including nanolayer thickness on the sensor's performance. The results demonstrated that the sensor with the Kretschmann configuration has ultra-high sensitivity (192.19 deg/RIU) and a high figure of merit (634.68 RIU −1 ).
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.
