In this paper, we propose the implementation of few layers of 2D materials in plexcitonic sensor for sensitivity enhancement. The positioning of the graphene layer implantation in such structure affects the sensitivity. The presence of graphene in contact with analyte offers ∼14% increase in the sensitivity of a bare plexcitonic sensor. Also, the performance of the sensor with the application of other 2D materials such as black phosphorus and MoShas been studied. It is found that among graphene and black phosphorous, though MoSoffers highest sensitivity yet, low operating range limits its appropriateness. We believe that this study will provide a new insight in the applicability of 2D materials for sensing application.

A key challenge in the field of plexcitonic quantum devices is the fabrication of solid-state, device-friendly plexcitonic nanostructures using inexpensive and scalable techniques. Lithography-free, bottom-up nanofabrication methods have remained relatively unexplored within the context of plexcitonic coupling. In this work, a plexcitonic system consisting of thermally dewetted plasmonic gold nanoislands (AuNI) coated with a thin film of J-aggregates was investigated.

Strong coupling between semiconductor excitons and localized surface plasmons (LSPs) giving rise to hybridized plexciton states in which energy is coherently and reversibly exchanged between the components is vital, especially in the area of quantum information processing from fundamental and practical points of view. Here, in photoluminescence spectra, rather than from common extinction or reflection measurements, we report on the direct observation of Rabi splitting of approximately 160 meV as an indication of strong coupling between excited states of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) and LSP modes of silver nanoshells under nonresonant nanosecond pulsed laser excitation at room temperature. The strong coupling manifests itself as an anticrossing-like behavior of the two newly formed polaritons when tuning the silver nanoshell plasmon energies across the exciton line of the QDs.
