AbstractLocalized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) was performed in the deep ultraviolet (UVC) region with Al nanohemisphere structures fabricated by means of a simple method using a combination of vapor deposition, sputtering, and thermal annealing without top-down nanofabrication technology such as electron beam lithography. The LSPR in the UV region was obtained and tuned by the initial metal film thickness, annealing temperature, and dielectric spacer layer thickness. Moreover, we achieved a flexible tuning of the LSPR in a much deeper UVC region below 200 nm using a nanohemisphere on a mirror (NHoM) structure. NHoM is a structure in which a metal nanohemisphere is formed on a metal substrate that is interposed with an Al2O3 thin film layer. In the experimental validation, Al and Ga were used for the metal hemispheres. The LSPR spectrum of the NHoM structures was split into two peaks, and the peak intensities were enhanced and sharpened. The shorter branch of the LSPR peak appeared in the UVC region below 200 nm. Both the peak intensities and linewidth were flexibly tuned by the spacer thickness. This structure can contribute to new developments in the field of deep UV plasmonics.

A novel vanadium–cellulose composite thin film-based on angular interrogation surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor for ppb-level detection of Ni(II) ion was developed. Experimental results show that the sensor has a linear response to the Ni(II) ion concentrations in the range of 2–50 ppb with a determination coefficient (R2) of 0.9910. This SPR sensor can attain a maximum sensitivity (0.068° ppb−1), binding affinity constant (1.819 × 106 M−1), detection accuracy (0.3034 degree−1), and signal-to-noise-ratio (0.0276) for Ni(II) ion detection. The optical properties of thin-film targeting Ni(II) ions in different concentrations were obtained by fitting the SPR reflectance curves using the WinSpall program. All in all, the proposed Au/MPA/V–CNCs–CTA thin-film-based surface plasmon resonance sensor exhibits better sensing performance than the previous film-based sensor and demonstrates a wide and promising technology candidate for environmental monitoring applications in the future.

We show here the design, fabrication, and characterization of a wedge-shaped Au thin film with an enhanced figure of merit (FOM). This is achieved by using a reflectivity change in an attenuated total reflection (ATR) setup by slightly modulating the wavenumber of the surface plasmon polariton by means of the varying thickness of the Au thin film. The wedge-shaped Au thin film is equivalent to multiple surface plasmon resonance (SPR) transducers integrated in a single chip and was fabricated by an electron-beam evaporation process with the position of the shutter controlled during the deposition. The FOM, defined as the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the normalized reflectivity change (ΔR/R) divided by the corresponding difference of the incident angles, was 8.0-times larger than that based on the reflectivity R. Also, we demonstrated that the wedge-shaped Au thin film was able to detect ethanol gas at a concentration of 0.2%, corresponding to a refractive index change of 2 × 10−5, without any surface functionalization. Since the sensing signal can be obtained with a single image from the wedge-shaped Au thin film without precise thickness control of the metal thickness, no other materials or modulation equipment is necessary, and the sensing chip can be employed in simple and highly sensitive systems.
