Abstract

The aim of the paper is to see the influence of Franckeite on the sensing application of SPR based biosensor. Franckeite is an emerging (2D) material from sulfosalt family having naturally presented spontaneously vander Waals (vdW) Heterostructure. We have investigated and carried out detailed analysis to design the high-performance biosensor by exploiting the unique properties of Franckeite. The performance of the biosensor is quantified in terms of Sensitivity and other performance parameters. Proposed work is theoretical where we have proposed a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor in combination of the nanosheets of (Bimetallic layer + Franckeite + TMDC + BP) in order to enhance the sensitivity. It’s also shown in the paper that by sandwiching a buffer (polymer) with low refractive index (close to water) between metal layer (Au in this case) and dielectric medium prism, the value of FWHM reduced dramatically and significant enhancement observed in FOM (100RIU−1) and detection accuracy (2.38 deg−1). We have also illustrated the concept of long range –SPR (LRSPR) in this paper by giving the comparative analysis of different polymers. As an air-stable 2D material, we expect that 2D Franckeite Nano sheets could have potential applications in the field of chemical as well as biosensing application in the future.
