Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensors
Oliveira, Leiva Casemiro / Neff, Helmut Franz / Thirstrup, Carsten / Lima, Antonio Marcus Nogueira This significantly extended second edition addresses the important physical phenomenon of Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) or Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPP) in thin metal films, a phenomenon which is exploited in the design of a large variety of physico-chemical optical sensors. In this treatment, crucial materials aspects for design and optimization of SPR sensors are investigated and described in detail. The text covers a selection of nanom...
