Abstract
Bio chemical detection using metal nanoparticles has been intensively investigated due to availability of robust nanoparticle synthesis methods whether chemically or using lithographic approach. SPR based sensor employs the shift of plasmonic resonance wavelength when local surrounding medium of metal nanoparticles change even slightly. The shift of the resonance wavelength depends sensitively on geometry and size of nanoparticle. The resonance wavelength and its shift were calculated numerically using boundary element method. Here, we compare the sensitivity of gold and silver nanoparticles to sense small change in refractive index of medium. Four different geometries (spherical, ellipsoidal, cylindrical, and donut-like nanoparticles) of different size were investigated to find the highest sensor sensitivity.
