Abstract

In this paper, we explore a highly sensitive surface plasmon resonance (SPR) structure. The configuration fabricated by the antimonene-Fe2O3-copper (Cu) is theoretically analyzed. Fe2O3 work as dielectric nanosheets to enhance the sensitivity. Besides, the x components of the electric field also can be improved. As promising two-dimensional (2D) material with a stronger interaction with biomolecules and higher chemical stability, antimonene exhibits potential applications in sensing. By optimizing the configuration parameters, the highest angular sensitivity of 398°/RIU. The result displays that the sensitivity is enhanced by 79.3% compared with the conventional configuration with a single Cu film. We hope that the simple configuration will find the suitable application value.
