Surface plasmon resonance on gold and silver films coated with thin layers of amorphous silicon-carbon alloys

The paper reports on a novel surface plasmon resonance (SPR) substrate architecture based on the coating of a gold (Au) or silver (Ag) substrate with 5 nm thin amorphous silicon-carbon alloy films. Ag/a-Si(1-x)C(x):H and Au/a-Si(1-x)C(x):H multilayers are found to provide a significant advantage in...

Zusammenfassung:The paper reports on a novel surface plasmon resonance (SPR) substrate architecture based on the coating of a gold (Au) or silver (Ag) substrate with 5 nm thin amorphous silicon-carbon alloy films. Ag/a-Si(1-x)C(x):H and Au/a-Si(1-x)C(x):H multilayers are found to provide a significant advantage in terms of sensitivity over both Ag and Au for SPR refractive index sensing. The possibility for the subsequent linking of stable organic monolayers through Si-C bonds is demonstrated. In a proof-of-principle experiment that this structure can be used for real-time biosensing experiments, amine terminated biotin was covalently linked to the acid-terminated SPR surface and the specific streptavidin-biotin interaction recorded
