In this article we introduce a magnetoplasmonics (MP) planar nanostructure with enhanced transverse magneto-optical (MO) activity. For this goal MO characteristics of magneto-structures comprising both metal layer and linear array of (metal) nanorods are analyzed. We explore three types of structures with nanorods and compare their features based on transvers magneto-optical Kerr effect (TMOKE) with the corresponding one for conventional three layers MO structure. Comparison between the values of TMOKE signals in two structures (proposed and conventional)shows more than one order of magnitude improvement. Due to this feature the refractive index sensitivity of the offered structures, specially with one and three types of Au nanorod arrays,
In this article we introduce a magnetoplasmonics (MP) planar nanostructure with enhanced transverse magneto-optical (MO) activity. For this goal MO characteristics of magneto-structures comprising both metal layer and linear array of (metal) nanorods are analyzed. We explore three types of structures with nanorods and compare their features based on transvers magneto-optical Kerr effect (TMOKE) with the corresponding one for conventional three layers MO structure. Comparison between the values of TMOKE signals in two structures (proposed and conventional) shows more than one order of magnitude improvement. Due to this feature the refractive index sensitivity of the offered structures, specially with one and three types of Au nanorod arrays, appearance more than 2 order of magnitude larger than the conventional Au/Co/Au three layer MO structures. This notable response enhancement becomes serious affair in MP biosensing applications. We believe that our idea in these proposed nanostructures can be used in any other three layer based MO structures in the literature. In this basis, we apply this scenario to other types of such MO structures which leads to improvement in their MO activities and accordingly in their refractive index sensitivities.
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.
