Bimetallic Layers Increase Sensitivity of Affinity Sensors Based on Surface Plasmon Resonance

Two metals are used in resonant layers for chemical sensors based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) - gold and silver. Gold displays higher shift of the resonance angle to changes of ambient refraction index and is chemically stable. Silver posses narrower resonance curve thus providing a higher si...
