High sensitivity of SPR with microplasmonic structures
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The plasmonic nature of discontinuous thin films with micro-patterned structures such as triangles and hole arrays present distinct optical properties with a Kretschmann surface plasmon resonance (SPR) instrument. Au microstructures were prepared with a modified nanospheres lithography (NSL) method using 3.2 μm spheres which gives 1.8 μm triangles and hole arrays with hole diameter ranging from 2.5 to 0.5 μm. The sensitivity to refractive index in thin film is increased by up to 45% with using microhole arrays instead of continuous film. A transition in the microstructure aspect from triangles to hole arrays with large hole diameter affects the spectral aspect of the SPR active band. Triangles present a characteristic broad transmission maximum band while in hole arrays, a broad and weak absorption band first appears for large holes, which sharpens and increases in intensity as the hole diameter decreases. Moreover, the SPR penetration depth is tuned between 230 and 30 nm as the microstructure aspect shifts from continuous film, to small hole arrays and to isolated triangles. Thus, these new plasmonic properties were observed in microhole arrays excited in Kretschmann SPR configuration, which are spectrally similar to continuous film. These can significantly improve the existing SPR sensing methods.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
