The localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) properties of Au/Ag/graphene nanoshells are studied by discrete dipole approximation (DDA). The coupled resonance wavelengths show a remarkable dependence on the graphene thickness as well as refractive index of the surrounding medium. The resonance wavelengths of Au/Ag/graphene nanoshells red-shift as the thickness of the graphene layer is increased, when the radii of the Au core and Ag interlayer are 40[Formula: see text]nm and 45[Formula: see text]nm, respectively. Specifically, the longer wavelength red-shifts from 540[Formula: see text]nm to 740[Formula: see text]nm when the refractive index varies from 1.25 to 2.05.

In this study, we emphasized on effects of grating slant angle of tilted dielectric gratings (TG) on surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The momentum conservation for an optical wave exciting an SPR via TG is different from unslant gratings. The coupling condition induces the period along the grating surface (in the direction x) be decided not only by grating period but also by slant angle. The results calculated by rigorous coupled-wave analysis theory (RCWA) indicate that the resonant wavelength and the refractive index sensitivity are strongly dependent on the period in the direction x (noted Λx). And the refractive index sensitivity increases with the rise of the period Λx. The SPR sensor through TG offers high sensitivity about 800nm per refractive index unit and narrow full-width at half maximum (FWHM) about 5nm when monitoring biochemical liquid solutions.

A low-cost, facile approach was developed for replication of plasmonic gold nanomushroom arrays, which performed in transmission mode and showed excellent refractive index sensitivity comparable to that of normal surface plasmon resonance sensors.
