OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF SILVER NANOWIRES CONJUGATED WITH PROTEIN

DO THI NGA, VU VAN HUY, AND CHU VIET HA

Optical properties of protein-conjugated metallic nanowires are theoretically investigated based on the Mie theory and the core-shell model. Our numerical calculations show that optical spectra of protein-conjugated nanowires can have more a maximum compared to these nanowires without biomolecules. This finding is in a good agreement with previous experiments. We provide better interpretation for the origin of optical peaks in absorption spectrum of nanowires. Our results can be used for designing biosensors and bio-detectors. Keywords: optical properties, silver nanowires, BSA, biosensors, bio-detectors.
