Theoretical Study of Graphene Wrapped CdS, CdSe, ZnSe, and $$Cu2O{@}Au$$ Core-Bishell Nanoparticles Embedded in Water for Applications in Medical Fields and as a Sensor

Abstract
We studied the effect of core-semiconductor radius, Au-shell thickness, graphene chemical potential, and graphene layers on the plasmonic resonance under quasi-static approximation. The core quantum dots used in the study are CdS, CdSe, ZnTe, and (Cu2O). The core-semiconductors are coated with Au and then wrapped with graphene. We compared the absorbance peaks position, the width of the absorbance peaks (FWHM), and the enhancement of the peak intensity of each core-bishell nanoparticles. We considered three fixed radii of the core semiconductors; (r1 = 20), 30, and 35 nm. For each radius, the thickness of the Au varied from 1 to 15 nm, and (mu) varied from 1.0 to 1.6 eV. For all samples, the first resonance peaks are found in the visible region or in near-infrared region depending on the value of the chemical potential and the second peaks found in the infrared or near-infrared region. The effect of the graphene layers is also studied. From the four samples, (Cu2O{@}Au{@}graphene) has better absorbance/extinction cross-section, with relatively large values of d for each value of (mu) and (r1). CdSAu@graphene has least absorption cross-section intensity that occurs relatively at small thickness of Au. The overall combined effect of the four parameters is enhanced absorption/extinction surface plasmon resonance peaks accompanied by blue shift of the graphene resonance. The obtained results can be used in medical applications that require sensitive imaging, therapy, and as a sensor.
