Abstract

In this manuscript, a hexagonal-shaped graphene quantum plasmonic nanopatch antenna sensor is designed and investigated on silicon dioxide, zinc oxide and silicon substrates for quantum plasmonic biosensing applications. The optical properties of graphene are demonstrated using Kubo modeling to analyze the plasmon resonance characteristics of the nanopatch antenna. Nano-circuit modeling of the hexagonal-shaped graphene nano-antenna is proposed and validated using CST simulations. The parametric analysis of the hexagonal-shaped nanopatch antenna is performed using design parameters such as R (radius of the hexagon), Tp (thickness of the hexagon) and µc (chemical potential of graphene) to obtain optimum characteristics suitable for quantum plasmonic sensing applications. The study demonstrates that the proposed hexagonal-shaped nano-antenna exhibits gain of 4.9 dBi, 2.46 dBi, 14.99 dBi, 8.25 dBi, 5.15 dBi, 10.87 dBi and 2.4 dBi at 29.87 THz, 30 THz, 35 THz, 113.5 THz, 132.5 THz, 85 THz and 24 THz, respectively. The field enhancement factors observed at these frequencies are 794, 779, 584, 255, 234, 654 and 217, respectively.
