  • Plasmonic sensor
    Patent number: 10408752
    Abstract: A plasmonic sensor includes at least a substrate and a thin film metallic glass formed on the substrate. The dielectric constant (?r) of the thin film metallic glass is negative. Since the thin film metallic glass with negative ?r is used in the plasmonic sensor, the material cost can be significantly reduced, the mechanical property can be improved, and the optoelectronic property can be increased. Since the thin film metallic glass is a kind of supercooled alloy with amorphous structure, it can be applied for imprinting deformation and amorphous without grain boundary scattering.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 10, 2019
    Assignee: National Taiwan University
