The tropospheric aerosol characterization is important for understanding environmental process as well as human health safety. In this study, the surface plasmon resonance sensor is proposed for the detection of ammonium sulfate which is an important component of aerosols. The reflectivity of proposed sensor waveguides is calculated as a function of the incident angle using the transfer matrix method. The performance of proposed sensors having sol-gel film of tetraethylorthosilane and thymolblue are studied and compared. Firstly, the dispersion characteristics are obtained for different modes, and it is observed that the modes are tightly bound in thymol blue waveguide in comparison to tetraethylorthosilane waveguide. Further, the magnetic field distributions are also studied and compared for proposed waveguide sensor configurations. It is found that the sol-gel film of thymol blue waveguide provides high sensitivity while tetraethylorthosilane waveguide shows high figure of merit. Keywords: aerosol, surface plasmon resonance sensor; reflectivity, sensitivity, detection accuracy.

This chapter discusses the unique and novel properties of 2D materials useful for toxic gas and biosensing applications. The work presented in this chapter mainly focuses on latest research done on 2D materials related to toxic gas and biosensing for surface plasmon resonance based sensors. Here, we proposed a surface plasmon resonance sensor utilizing P3OT thin films which can sense different concentration of NO2 gas. The performance of proposed design is evaluated by calculating sensitivity, detection accuracy and quality factor, with and without use of silicon layer. Sensitivity of proposed sensor increases by using silicon.

Solution processed TiO2 anatase film was used as sensitive layer for H2 detection for two plasmonic sensor configurations: A grating-coupled surface plasmon resonance sensor and a localized surface plasmon resonance sensor with gold nanoparticles. The main purpose of this paper is to elucidate the different H2 response observed for the two types of sensors which can be explained considering the hydrogen dissociation taking place on TiO2 at high temperature and the photocatalytic activity of the gold nanoparticles.

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.
