Abstract

Abstract We study the interaction of gold nanoparticles with a graphene film. Graphene is used as a spacer, as thin as possible, between the gold nanoparticles and the detection dielectric medium, and one of the advantages of graphene is to protect the structure, which allows to avoid the oxidation of nanoparticles. We focus our study on the variation of the resonant structure (LSPR) depending on the thickness of the graphene layer (0.34–5 nm). A stronger resonance behavior of positions in the absorption spectrum shows a strong coupling between the LSP on gold nanoparticles and the covering film. Numerical simulations indicate a significant shift of the resonance wavelength structure SiOx/AuNPs/Graphene/SiOx (657.90 nm) compared with experimental results obtained on SiOx/AuNPs/SiOx (574.71 nm) and optimized for the required parameters proposed LSPR system we achieve the highest detection sensitivity range, while the location of points of the electric field on the best corners of the gold-graphene nanoparticles.
