摘要

A sizable 430°/RIU (refractive index unit) sensitivity for the dengue detection is reported using the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique with the copper/compound semiconductor/BaTiO3 configuration. The involvement of the copper makes the device significantly less expensive than the conventional gold (Au)/silver (Ag)-based SPR sensors and that can significantly lower the diagnostic cost. The study uses healthy and sickened plasma, platelets, and haemoglobin using blood as a biosample and shows the highest sensitivity for plasma, which notably contains the highest non-structural protein (NS1) in the early stage. The combined effect of compound semiconductor nitrides (aluminium nitrite (AlN), silicon nitrite (Si3N4), or gallium nitrite (GaN)) and BaTiO3 helps to boost the sensor’s sensitivity and selectivity together. The angular sensitivity of 430°/RIU and quality factor (QF) of 136 RIU−1 is achieved using Cu (58 nm), AlN (14 nm), and BaTiO3 (1 nm). The aforesaid advantages along with a visible operating wavelength of λ = 633 nm make the proposed device a considerable design achievement for development of low-cost sensing equipment for efficient dengue detection.
